The property was excellent and Joni was a pleasure. We hosted a small family gathering (12 people) around the pool and had a great time. Little touches around the place really made it feel homey.

This property was perfect for a long weekend in Houston. The neighborhood was lovely and close proximity to restaurants, bars, etc. in Montrose. Loved having access to the pool and so much outdoor space. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It’s very clear that Joni goes the extra mile making this place comfortable for her guests while also providing maps, restaurant recommendations and menus, making our stay feel like a true vacation.

The house was perfect for our needs. Close to the Herman Park attractions with nearby restaurants and grocery stores. Welcome cookies were a nice touch. Kitchen had plenty of pots/pans/utensils. Pool was very clean and just right for our family of 4. There were lots of soft fluffy bath towels. Upstairs deck was lovely for playing evening games. The house had quite a few. Just remember the bug spray. It is Houston.

This was our second visit to Joni's property. We enjoyed seeing Joni's Corgi, Birdie, again. Despite recent cold weather, we were able to enjoy the heated pool. Joni also provided extra space heaters to use in rooms as needed. Good neighborhood for walking, although there are some sidewalk and street repairs going on. Variety of restaurant options.

We had a lovely stay at Joni's pool house. The house was just the right size for our family of four. We loved the layout and the amenities and touches were excellent. We were able to enjoy the heated pool even in the December chill. Joni is available if you need help but considerate of your privacy. We hope to come back for another stay soon!

Beautiful Montrose guest house
Perfect location, comfy beds, a cute little pool, and all the amenities you could want - we were especially pleased there was a coffee grinder, French press and coffee beans waiting for us. We had a delightful stay with our two teenagers and hope to come back!

Home away from home
This was our second stay with Joni, and it is absolutely one of my favorite places on this earth, let alone my favorite VRBO. Joni is super communicative and the place is lovelier than can be captured in photos. The location and amenities cannot be beaten if you are heading to Houston. There is no question that we will be back as soon as possible.

Best place to come in Houston!
My son said it all- ‘this is the best place you’ve ever rented!’ We were here for a few days to check out where he would be going to tech school. The place was just as described and shown in pictures. It was clean, bright, and the pool was the perfect temperature. Joni was easy to work with. Every question asked she answered within a few minutes. I had some dietary issues and she was able to provide me with a list of restaurants that could accommodate me.

This property is very special. The 2 story garage apartment has a perfect Houston location and the owner is wonderful. Sparkling clean, incredible beds, and an outdoor space to die for. We were able to bring our pup which made it perfect for us. Will definitely book again!

We really enjoyed our stay here, especially relaxing in the pool and on the patios. The property is modern, clean, and comfortable. There are two bedrooms, one up and one down, each with their own bathroom attached. We took advantage of the full kitchen to make a few meals. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, as well as grocery stores (Central Market, HEB). Great neighborhood for walking. The owner, Joni, is friendly and responsive, and we really enjoyed Ms. Birdie. :) We would definitely return!

Perfect set up and great location
Lovely pool house with comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, private porch for morning coffee, and a beautiful pool! We stayed here for one week while we were in the process of moving. Joni was very communicative and helpful. We enjoyed walking to the nearby restaurants and Menil area. HEB is very close too! Our kids really enjoyed their daily swim. And our dog loved hanging out with Birdie in the yard! Thank you for such a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was roomy, comfortable and charming in a great neighborhood. It is walkable to the Menil and some great restaurants in Montrose. The pool was a huge hit with our children. We would stay there again for sure!

Relaxing!
I manage reservations for five of my employer’s VRBO properties so I’m well aware of what a good review can (or cannot) tell a potential guest about a property. In all honesty, this location was perfect for our vacation. The pool house sits behind the owner’s main house in a quiet neighborhood just off the hustle and bustle of Westheimer. The two bedrooms are rather comfortable and the kitchen/living room combo on the second floor was roomy enough for my family of four. The kitchen itself was outfitted with everything you might need during your stay.
A deck just off the second level provided a relaxing place to hang out (there are couches, chairs etc.) as well as to sit and eat breakfast in the mornings. Having a pool to relax in at the end of a long day was great as well and there is a gas grill in case you would like to cook hamburgers, etc. The parking was along the street but it seemed to be a safe neighborhood as cities go. The owner was very responsive before, during and after our stay so no worries there.
So…any downsides? Very few. The two TV’s were set up to work with Netflix and other streaming services but no DirecTV. It didn’t bother us a bit but I include it just in case someone wanted to know. The water pressure in the shower seemed to be low but that’s hardly the owner’s fault. I had no problem with that either.
Overall, I have to say it made a wonderful backdrop for a family vacation. We’ll be back!

We had a great experience staying at this property while visiting family in Houston! The apartment was lovely and well maintained, and the pool and pool area were such a luxury. Joni was a wonderful host. We travel to Houston often and want to stay at Joni’s place again next time.

We really liked to stay at Joni's house. The pool house is super cute and we felt a little bit like we were on a holiday, the kids really liked the pool and Birdie (the owner's dog) was super sweet. The neighborhood was amazing with restaurants and museums walking distance (which is such a treat in Houston)! Loads of trees and shade too, to comfortably walk in the summer heat. Thank you !
