House Renovation Completed 3/1/2019

Surrounding the house is a 1400 square foot deck and large Redwood Gazebo that offer tranquil views. This is the largest deck on Lake Houston. Tranquility is everywhere. A serenity pond, rock waterfall, and lush landscaping make this an oasis. If you’re looking for peaceful surroundings, this is the place to be.

Fully updated and remodeled in 2019, the property grounds are private and wonderfully maintained. A unobstructed panoramic view, a covered gazebo with a pond, and good fishing off a private pier to name a few of the details! Inside the home you will find 4 bedrooms each with comfy beds. The couch in the living room is a queen-size pull out bed with a Serta mattress. The property has modern washers and dryers. There is dining seating for 11. The kitchen includes 2 ovens, 4 burner range, and vent hood. New fridge for storing your food and beverages.

Sitting on an acre, it is the biggest and most secluded lot in Indian Shores. Relax and enjoy the best sunsets on lake Houston from every room of this oasis. Fish from your private dock or utilize the public boat launch. You can even tie your boat up right outside. We consulted with Texas Wildlife to create a fish habitat that is rich in medium to large Catfish, White Bass, Freshwater Drum, and Carp.

Indian Shores also offers a community pool, clubhouse, and 9 hole golf course. Bring your fishing poles, kayaks, canoes, golf clubs, and travel buddies for fun and relaxation in your Lake Houston vacation rental.

Fabulous Trip
Wonderful host, the house has all you need in its own quirky, fun way. Love the extra guest room with separate bathroom across the driveway, good for separate but together feel for multiple families or couples. Host was so gracious with his time and communication on everything! Really wonderful stay and the views and lake access could not have been better!

Incredible lake stay
We greatly enjoyed this property and our stay. The views of the lake are wonderful and despite many homes around us, it felt private and secluded. The property owner was great to work with and communication was excellent. It is clear he cares about each family having the perfect stay and was a wealth of information about the area. We even ended up extending our stay by a day. We hope to visit again soon!

Family 4th of July Vacay
The property was amazing. It has a large barbeque grill which we utilized several times during our stay. The large driveway can accommodate several vehicles at once. Peaceful nights and beautiful days. The private dock provided shelter for us to fish on rainy days. Steve was nice and shared many tricks of the trade with my family. Only experienced a slight issue with the water heater during the stay.

Great Experience!
The property is five stars in our book! From the spacious lake house to the spectacular views and lake access for swimming and fishing, it's a perfect family gathering place. We loved the house with big picture windows overlooking the lake, but our favorite was the big gazebo with hanging lights. It has a porch swing, so you can look at the lake, plus seating for lots of people. The view - sunrises and sunsets - is fabulous. The owner and property manager were easy to work with and answered any questions promptly. It was a wonderful place for our family gathering!

Great lake get-away
We spent a very relaxing week here. My kids (5yo and 8yo) caught their first fish and had a blast. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and peaceful mornings looking out over the lake. The house is well set up for great views from almost every room. Everything was nice and clean and ready to go. Steve was a great host and quick to provide answers to any questions as well as great tips for enjoying the lake, best fishing, etc. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen and the board games in the front room, as well as the smart TV for easy access to our streaming and music subscriptions. Would definitely visit again. Thanks for a great week!

Great location on Lake Houston
The house in Indian Shores was exactly what we needed for our overflow guests for a long summer weekend. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone. We had two families with young children staying in the house and the only unexpected issue was the location of the second master suite - it is actually in a separate building across the carport which is a bit awkward for those with young children. We made it work and it was not a showstopper - just something of which to be aware.

Perfect Getway
We fell in love with this house. Very clean and amenities offered, it went beyond expectations. It is an open layout with windows all around. Beautiful views of the lake layer out in front of you. The owner landscaped so any views of other residents were instead plants and trees giving a secluded feel. Fishing off the dock or sipping your coffee in the gazebo. Rocking gentally in the swing as you watch the waves lap amd the sun set. It was perfection. Close enough to town for a run to the store, but far enough out there is no traffic to disrupt your peace of mind. Our time at the lakehouse will be one of those memories that will be looked upon fondly until we are able to visit again. I strongly suggest if you are reading these reviews, look no further and book it. You will have a wonderful time.

Underwhelming.If you have children or a large family or interracial, consider another location.
I thought the owner / I had good communication on bbq gatherings at the property.I should have went with my instincts when I noticed flying confederate flags and difficulty with checking in early, even after I offered to pay an additional night. I have screenshots of our chats immediately after my booking clarifying a mini hs reunion (all successful college grads from U of H, A&M, and UT), with 4-5 families and a subsequent family bbq the following day.Given we were traveling such a far distance,from CA,we were trying to maximize our time w family & friends & keep the kiddos comfortable at the same time. And his replies saying thanks for the clarification and sounds fun, enjoy! I had traveled via car w my mom and 2 toddlers,2 & 5. Since they did surprisingly better than expected,we arrived in the morning.I immediately contacted the #s in the vrbo listing & spoke to the prop mgr. The owner still contacted me in a scolding fashion after the prop mgr gave us the go ahead to enter.I explained to him & told him he could verify via cameras & he said he had already done so & it was okay. So I wondered why the grief but okay... he is willing to let us in early and minimize more travel with the tots so seems good! 2 days later, day of mini HS reunion, the prop mgr arrived to come into the home, as I was putting the 2 year old down to nap.My husband let her in since we had nothing to hide.All families except one couple had kids. 5 families,avg 2 parents/2 kids = 20 ppl minimum. But he seemed livid & asked if it was what we had previously discussed & agreed to.I said yes, and again, recommended he review the cameras or let the prop mgr come over. At that point, he stated she had already been over. I don’t get it, but again, he is the owner so trying to provide reassurance...No loud music.No one trashed the place.No one stayed over. The next day, it unravels.We had less people over... for a bbq. My husband sets up the girls’ fishing poles for fishing that night. Then one of my nieces asks why there are cop cars out front!? What!? The owner was thinking of evicting us. He was basing on # of cars parked & neighbor inputs. Considering some of the neighbors had flags flying,I could see their concerns. That is the only concern they could have had. Even the cops said they wouldn’t even be staying unless we were planning to be unorderly. TLDR: vacation ruined. Homeless for several hours in Houston, pregnant and with two tots. Shades of color.

Lake stay
We loved the property but it had listed a hot tub which it doesn’t have and that was disappointing. The electrical was out on the gazebo so we couldn’t put a fan out there and that would have made it more enjoyable outside for the sunset. More fans would be a plus! We never did figure out how to get the hot water to work in the kitchen. Thanks to Steve for the information about pulling curtains in the afternoon, it does help.

This place was amazing! Lots of room, beautiful lakeside view. Gazebo to sit under. It was the best place to visit with my son and his family. There was fishing on the pier, a boat dock and the kids loved swimming righ off the backyard. The house had all the furnishings we needed. The neighborhood was nice and everyone we met friendly. I won’t stay anywhere else when we come to visit. Our host supplied linens, soaps, dishes. I could go on and on. You won’t go wrong choosing this place
