The perfect place to stay in the Heights

This Upstairs garage apartment Is very well appointed, provided with everything you could need for a long-term stay. It’s very pleasant and safe and clean. I really enjoyed it because the location was perfect for me both for places to eat and for nearness to the Heights bike trail. I came because my daughter was having a baby, So when she called in the middle of the night, I felt safe to jump on my bike and be at her apartment in five minutes.

Awesome location cute spot!

The location was perfect for us, close to friends who live in the heights. Very walkable neighborhood near food, grocery store and pharmacy. Communication with the hosts was fantastic and they were very nice. Everything was exactly as it said in the listing and seamless check in and check out. Will say the shower is a bit small for tall people but it worked fine for our weekend. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in town.

Excellent location, amenities and privacy. The only TINY critique I would make is that the bedsheets were old and ripped which didn’t match the rest of the ambiance. Overall a wonderful stay and will most likely be renting again.

Quick trip to Houston

We absolutely loved this property!! It had a ton of charm and was extremely cute! Small, but exactly what we needed. We loved being able to feed the koi fish & sit by the koi fish pond drinking coffee in the morning. Vicki was extremely helpful & quick to respond! Thank you for such an awesome stay!

Great location, cozy space all we could ask for for our trip to Houston.

After moving away from the city in 2016 we returned to Houston to help families who lost so much in Harvey. I wanted to be located in the Heights one of my favorite neighborhoods in Houston. My daughter who is ten and I enjoyed the barn door hideaway as our base. It was quiet and cozy and being so close to running trails was important to me as it is how I started each day. This place is perfect for a couple it's close to great restaurants and and has easy access to I 10 and 610. Vicki and Mike were super accommodating and I would definitely return to this adorable VRBO when visiting Houston in the future.

Business trip in Houston for the Quilt Festival

It was very nicely decorated on the inside; and had everything you could think of in an apartment! A foot stool might be nice while sitting on the couch. Houston Hts. is a historical/family neighborhood; and it was fun to see it decorated for Halloween with lots of families trick or treating. It seems like a safe neighborhood and we went daily from the vrbo to downtown Houston to the convention center. We liked the koi pond and fed them daily. Vickie, the owner, was very helpful! You enter the property through a nice fence from an alley as the vrbo is above the garage (and the backyard is very small). We were uber-ing while in Houston, and the alley is not marked on any gps. Uber sees your address (front of the house) and thinks that's where they pick you up. I had to make notes on every uber we had for pick-ups as to HOW to find us in the alley; and still my husband had to stand at the alley/main street to make sure that the uber could find us. Also, the stairs up to the apartment are VERY steep yet there is a good handrail. It is a small bathroom, and it has a shower tub that is difficult to get into. It would be MUCH easier IF it was just a shower. Please check the seal on the shower faucet to the tile wall as it gaps and leaks; and check the shower door height on the door closest to the faucet as water splashes out from underneath on the floor. New bed pillows are needed as the ones we used were hard and flat.

Thanksgiving Oasis

My wife and I stayed at this property over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The owner was quite responsive and prompt with communication and answering questions we had before our stay. Location couldn't be better! It was only a mile or so away from the home of our family member that we were having the Thanksgiving meal with. We love to walk and we especially appreciated that there was a walking/biking trail a half a block away that provided scenic safe walking for miles! Grocery stores are also about a block's walk away. Property was clean and fully equipped. We will definitely return!

A week away for work

I had to go to Houston for a work related event. This place was the best. Extremely clean, easy access, and a perfect location. I used to live in the Heights and it was nice being back in the neighborhood and going to my favorite restaurant Colinas. Vicki was easy to contact when I had to extend for another day and very prompt in her responses. There was easy access to the Nicholson trail to go running on, along with the Heights boulevard trail. The next time I am in Houston I will contact Vicki and stay here again

Private Getaway

The warm hospitality of these hosts is expressed in their attention to details, supplies, & the cleanliness of this apartment. Well-appointed kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, 3 types of coffeemakers), private entrance, dedicated parking spot, and everything you might ever need is included in this VRBO. Excellent location in the Houston Heights: 30 minutes to the airport, 20 minutes to downtown., and within walking distance of a Houston Bcycle station. A large grocery store and many fabulous restaurants within a mile. Delightful garden setting with a koi pond and fountain - it doesn't feel like you're in the middle of a big city. Thank you Vicki for making this a relaxing dream vacation for us!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Williams, Owner

I've been a vacation rental host since 2015.
I really enjoyed hosting guests at my nearby Woodland Heights Teetshorn Bungalow since 2015, so I decided to build a custom designed garage apartment in our backyard. I began to rent it in late March, 2017, and we have had very favorable reviews from our guests. We also love sharing our Koi pond with our guests. It is adjacent to the apartment path and the fish swim over to the guests as they pass by. We have specialty Koi food available if guests wish to feed them. There is a small table and seating for guests adjacent to the pond.
We sold the Teetshorn Bungalow in Woodland Heights rental in 2019. We also had a westside townhouse rental that we sold.
Our Victorian 3 bedroom main house at this same address has recently been made available for vacation rentals, since we now spend a lot of time at out Lake Conroe Home.
