Things to be aware of:
*Outside cameras record motion at exterior doors. They are for security and property management purposes. They help us assure compliance with City rental and fire codes, and, based on past experience and industry practice, verify that the overnight guest and pet count is consistent with the reservation, at which point, we disable them. At no time do cameras view any part of the house interior. Contact owner with any questions or concerns: 713-873-1318 or dagerton@gmail.com
*There is an additional charge for each person after 6 in your party. As a result, it is imperative that you contact us if you intend to bring more people than what you originally booked for.
*Dogs are allowed at the property but we ask that you crate them in your absence. Furthermore, we do charge a pet fee of $43/dog/night (before tax). Due to the fact that HomeAway/VRBO does not allow us to charge for more than one dog at the time of booking, please let us know if you'll be bringing two dogs when you book, so that we can insure that you are charged accordingly. Furthermore, please bring crates for your dogs and crate them in your absence from the house, do not allow the dogs on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of their waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation. Cats are not allowed at the property, as the owner is allergic.
*The television is mounted on a swing arm in the library and the room has limited seating.
Bella Regalo (Beautiful Gift)
This 100 year old house was renovated in 2015. Most walls inside are soft, calm gray. The ceilings are high. Natural light through the large original windows is lovely and abundant. There's an eclectic mix of antique and contemporary furniture along with plentiful fine art, like an old painting of San Isidro (patron saint of farmers) and several sculptures as well as area landscapes painted by your hostess, Mallory Agerton. Linger over a meal or sink into the sofa or leather chairs with a book. Drink morning coffee or evening wine in rocking chairs on the front porch or on the sitting wall beside roses in the secret side garden. Or, walk 0.7 miles to Main Street.
Downstairs, the house has two bedrooms, each with a king bed and bath. The beds and bedding are all new in 2017. The deluxe mattresses, pillows and opaque drapes should please even the pickiest sleeper. Wool rugs, crystal chandeliers, and bathrooms with tile, Carrera marble and glass add a touch of romance. The upstairs loft has a queen, two twins and a half bath.
The well-equipped kitchen includes non-stick ceramic cookware, white porcelain dinnerware, a dish washer and microwave. The gas stove, electric oven, fridge and outdoor gas grill are new in 2017. Dine inside beneath dimmed lights and a tin ceiling or outside on the stone patio beneath an old pecan. Then, hang out around the fire pit. Other features include WiFi, a 40-inch flat screen TV, and indoor laundry room with washer and dryer.
Come to Bella Regalo, where you can stop and smell the rosemary….and use it to season your meal.
