Stayed here with family of four (two adults, two teens) while one of the kids did a week long camp at NASA. Plenty of room for us to spread out. House was clean, AC worked well during a warm Houston week. House well stocked for all our needs. Neighborhood doesn't look like much on a map, but a number of good restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Neighborhood was quiet too. 10 minute drive to NASA, 3 minute drive to Kemah. Would stay again if in the area in the future.

From the owner: "Hi Matt, you were wonderful guests. I hope you get the opportunity to come back. You are right about the neighborhood. It offers many amenities within a four-block distance. There are several restaurants from casual to upscale within four blocks, some of which are treasures within houses. The shops, at this time, include a cheese shop, snowcone stands, coffee shops, an antique shop, a gift shop and many more... The water for kayaking, fishing and crabbing, along with the Bay Area Veterans Memorial, is two blocks away. It’s worth walking around and exploring this quaint little neighborhood. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us."
Sandra was the best host ever, from booking to check out and everything in between. She offered wonderful suggestions for things to do and places to eat. She was easily reachable throughout the stay if we needed anything or had questions.
The Galloping Seahorse is the cutest little vacation home. It’s beautiful decorated, very clean and has all the amenities you may need - just bring some food! Full fridge, gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, utensils, dishes, pots/pans, serving bowls/dishes, and all items you’d need to clean up after a yummy meal, and all necessary toiletries. Easy check in/out procedures and instructions.
We truly enjoyed our stay here and can’t wait to come back again!!! Thank you!!!

Rooms
3 adorable, clean, and very comfortable rooms. Plenty of blankets and pillows in each room. The living room also has a pull out couch with all bedding necessary.
Nearby activities
Lots to do nearby; fishing or Kayaking on the lake, The Boardwalk amusement park- our favorite, and NASA space center - great for the whole family. Plus several other entertainment establishments we didn’t have time to visit.
Food & drinks
Walking distance to several food establishments. One block away from the house is Damn Fine Coffee and Fried Pies. Across the street is The Backyard - they have delicious Mac n cheese, really good drinks and reasonably priced. Also within walking distance is The Midnight Slice - really good pizza and also reasonable prices. Kroger grocery store is just a few minutes up the road as well. Habaneros tacos was also really delicious (Loved the Shrimp tacos!!) - near Kroger
Spacious, Comfortable and quiet. Enjoyed sitting on the front deck in the evenings. Excellent communication from Evolve.

To quote an entry in the visitor journal, “Five Starfish” experience! The house was very cute and very immaculate! The neighborhood was friendly and quiet, even over the weekend. The manager was friendly and efficient, yet not intrusive.
