#### Great family lake house
Plenty of space, great neighborhood, awesome host! Only complaint, in the listing photos it shows a swing set or playset which is no longer there, but it did not disrupt our stay or plans, we had a great stay and I look forward to staying here again next year!

#### Fun for this whole team
We had a World Series Tournament in La Porte and booked the house for our team. 11 players and 3 coaches all stayed comfortably. We had a great time playing in the lake. Tons of floats and water toys to use. The yard is huge and worked great for games of volleyball and whiffle ball. Great memories were made. Highly recommend for other teams or groups with lots of kids.
