Perfect for family gatherings or group getaways, Tranquil Bay offers a harmonious blend of indoor comfort and outdoor adventure, creating an idyllic retreat for unforgettable memories.

Connecting seamlessly to the dining area is a beautiful kitchen, making meal preparation and entertaining a breeze.

Miranda H., Papillion, USA

Disliked: Cleanliness
I don’t even know where to begin. We booked this location due to the photos we saw, the space, and the price. We came to Houston for a large baseball tournament, had planned to stay for 5 days, notified the host we would have the baseball team over and would not exceed 23 guests. To say this place was DISGUSTING, UNSAFE, and MISLEADING is an understatement.
Glass bottles from a previous party were strewn across the yard.
Broken furniture was left to die in the yard with shards of plastic lying next to it like it hasn’t been used anytime recently.
The trash surrounding this home upon check in was almost laughable.
Plastic, trash, broken glass, rusted bottle cap tops, the entire yard was unsafe for our kids to run around let alone walk without safe shoes.
