This 4500sf home was built in 1937, and situated in the heart of the Historic District of Beaumont. Houses here have a beauty of their own, and much history can be learned from the surrounding area. Just up the street is the historic McFaddin-Ward home, a major tourist attraction for the city. The Historic District is unique and there are many architectural features in the District that are amazing to see. There are also a number of areas of blight as the District is undergoing its own renaissance. There are a few great restaurants (not chain) in the area, and the location is quite convenient for the University, hospitals, downtown, the plants and refineries. Most major landmarks are within 10 minutes of my home, including grocery and post office. There are also roughly 6 parks in a 5 mile radius near my home. There is ample parking onsite. Buses run regularly on the main thoroughfare just steps from the home. Amtrak train station goes into Houston 3-4 times a week. Jack Brooks airport is ten minutes away with daily flights to DFW. A few important things to note BEFORE YOU BOOK: THIS PROPERTY ADHERES TO ENHANCED COVID CLEANING PROTOCOLS. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING COVID SYMPTOMS OR CONTRACTED COVID-19 IN THE PAST 60 DAYS, WE CANNOT ACCEPT A RESERVATION FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER GUESTS. 1. This is the historic district so there are some fabulous older houses in the area. There are also a number of areas of blight where properties have not been maintained. If you drive around you will see what I mean. Nevertheless, the property you are renting is maintained and offers you a very comfortable and affordable stay. 2. This is the port in Beaumont. There is intermittent noise from the trains at different hours. For the most part, they try not to blow the horns at night, but you may occasionally hear it. There is also street traffic nearby so you may get some car noise or street lights. For the most part, this is not a disturbance for most guests but something you should be made aware of. 3. This is an old property. There will be issues with things like the plumbing or a/c, etc. I have a repairman that stays on call for when these issues pop up. Please contact me when there is an issue so that I can address it immediately. I do not want to find out after a week or two that there was a leak at the toilet. This affects the quality of your stay and impacts my repair damage later. I can only address what I am made aware of. 4. You are a guest in my home. While Airbnb makes this kind of stay affordable--which also makes it attractive to someone looking to not spend a lot on lodging--you are still in fact a guest in someone's home. It is not a hotel and the nominal cleaning fee that is charged for each stay goes toward the work it takes to give you a clean place to stay in. When you arrive, you find a clean home. All of the furnishings were made possible by someone's thoughtfulness and care about your comfort. Please do not trash the place. Please clean up after yourself. Please do not take things that do not belong to you. This is my home. It is not a hotel. Be respectful and appreciative of the fact that someone has allowed you access into their home and only charged you for the time and care of that space. 5. A bad review means that something was not properly communicated. I may not always cover everything upfront but I am always available if something comes up. JUST ASK. I love making guests happy, but I don't know something is an issue until you make me aware. Please remember that I have had more than a hundred guests come through my home over the years. Most of my rules have been developed based on the average of what a guest might like. If there is room to make an adjustment for the comfort of your stay, I will likely accommodate it. Hospitality is an art that requires feedback. I would prefer that feedback to be ongoing and not at the end of the stay when I no longer have the chance to address an issue. I strive each day to bring a sense of Southern hospitality into my home for each invited guest!
