It was quiet and well located for our multigenerational family vacation. My cousin lives nearby so we gathered at this rental for dinner and launching point for our daily adventures. This house allowed plenty of space and Seperation regarding bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitty was comfortable and enjoyed his view.

Great property and location

The yard could use a little TLC, had a tree branch fall overnight. However; the house itself was great for what we needed; plenty of room for everyone, all the necessary amenities and the location (very nice neighborhood) was a good for where we needed to go.

Great for my Family

This house was perfect for my family. It was so convenient to have things like a crib, high chair, etc for my baby. And having 3 full bathroooms gave everyone plenty of privacy. The house was nice and updated and communication with the host was super quick. Would definitely stay again if we are in the Houston area and need 4 bedrooms!

Amazing property and host

Not only was the property itself great, but the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware - which isn't common in rentals! The back yard was an absolute treat to hang out in, and the weather was perfect for a fire in the gazebo.When there was an issue with the water heater, Margaret responded immediately and kept us in the loop throughout the entire process. When it turned out it couldn't be repaired until that evening, she was kind enough to refund that day of the rental. I could not have asked for a more thoughtful and helpful host!

The house is 100% as advertised, bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The house is well appointed from the pantry to the fire pit (wood is included). I can't say enough about Margaret. She is an extremely responsive, kind and considerate owner. Highly recommend this property.

Feels like home

Tranquility at Magnolia is, in fact, tranquil. We stayed for 3 weeks during a transition from DFW and really couldn't believe we were in the city. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house is outstanding, more than enough room and perfectly appointed. Communication with Margaret was excellent and we absolutely loved the place. We became very comfortable very quickly - it was like home.

Wonderful Stay

Place was clean and well furnished. Everything that we needed was included and then some. Communication with Margaret was above and beyond making sure we had everything that we needed. My only suggestion would be to possibly update the main master bedroom with a bigger and more comfortable bed. Outside of that everything was excellent!!! 5 stars. We would stay here again if in the area. Thanks again Margaret!

Perfect stay

We stayed four nights, five days in this perfect Vrbo for two couples and two pups. The home was as advertised; very clean, beautiful natural lighting throughout the home, spacious, and perfect for the pups! Margaret was a wonderful host. She was very responsive and checked in to see how our trip was going and if there was anything she could do. The home feels recently renovated and the beds and pillows were an AAA+! My husband and I travel a lot for work and stay in nice hotels with uncomfortable beds and pillows. We both agree we wanted to take the bed home with us, it was so comfortable. Thank you, Margaret!

Sufficient

Margaret’s place was clean and extraordinarily organized. Everything was labeled, which made it very easy to navigate to space. The neighborhood seemed fine. The bunk bed was quite squeaky, but our kiddos did fine on it. There’s a bit of a smell as it’s an older house, but Margaret had sprays available which mitigated the effect somewhat. All that being said, it was tolerable. Overall, we appreciated getting to stay nearby our relatives as well as the effort Margaret made to make the place accommodating.

Excellent experience for Christmas!

This property is nice and cozy and was perfect for the holidays. My sister works in retail in Houston and has a tough time getting time off for Christmas, so my family and my parents decided to bring Christmas to her instead. Margaret was excellent with communication from the very beginning and answered every question I had. This continued throughout the stay and was the best communication I’ve had with an owner. The property itself was decorated for Christmas with lights outside and a nice tree inside plus other interior decor. Margaret left a nice welcome letter and gift along with an easy to use binder with instructions and local attractions in case we wanted to explore. Wi-Fi access was easy as well and is plenty fast enough for any online needs (over 200Mbps per my test). The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dish sets, glasses, and bakeware including pots and pans. Even better, the cabinets and drawers are labeled! There is a k-cup brewer, a 5-cup coffee pot, and an electric kettle for your coffee/tea needs. A nice feature of this house is how pet friendly it is. Margaret provided at least 5 water/food bowls and two pet beds to make traveling light easier. Additionally, the crib in one of the bedrooms had an initial supply of diapers and wipes. There was a definite effort made by Margaret to make the experience seamless and help minimize what a family may need to bring when they travel. The fire pit out back was great and had an initial supply of firewood that would last one or two nights depending on how long you burned it each time. We didn’t use the grill out there but there is one. This was a phenomenal experience and I would definitely stay at this property again. Margaret is very friendly and does the little things that typically push a property above the rest.

We stayed here for a week while our house was being repaired. The yard was extremely overgrown and scrated my vehicle several times. The bed in the presidential suite was too low and extremely uncomfortable. It felt lime we were going to roll off the bed. The floors all squeek when you walk on them. The coffee pot didn't work so we had to get ours feom home. You can't flush the toilets while the washing machine is in use. There were too many mosquitoes due to thw water feature in the front yard. The host did try to fix and correct all of the issues that we had during our stay.

Very Peaceful Location

The vacation rental was perfect for our family. We were looking for a house that would accommodate my wife, mother, brother, aunt, and me. The layout of the house and the amenities were well-suited for our needs. The pantry was stocked with staples that cooking our meals. The cleanliness met or exceeded our expectations. The location was beyond tranquil with easy access minutes away from shopping. Margaret was an excellent host with timely communication and she made us feel very welcomed. Thanks, Margaret! After not seeing my family for two years, the vacation rental was the perfect vessel.. My family and I highly recommend Tranquility at Magnolia and it will be our go-to place when we return to visit Houston again.
