About this place

Relaxing Casa da Vida, Covered Patio, Grill & Yard

Welcome to your tranquil haven in the heart of Bryan, Texas! "Casa da Vida" promises a memorable stay for large groups up to 14 guests, offering 4 relaxing bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, and beautiful outdoor space with a year-round. Whether you're visiting for a family reunion, academic conference at Texas A&M, or exploring the rich history at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, our home provides a delightful mix of Comfort, convenience, and Southern charm.
On entering the character-filled Casa da Vida, you are welcomed by a tastefully finished living room featuring a roomy sectional, a cozy reading nook, and an array of engaging board games for your entertainment. The heart of the home is a well-lit and fully stocked kitchen, complete with modern appliances such as a gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator, and our favorite, a Ninja air fryer. You'll find preparing meals a breeze and sharing them all the more enjoyable on the farmhouse dining table. Each of the four bedrooms is located upstairs, offering a quiet and serene space away from the communal areas for a restful night's sleep. The rooms feature comfortable bedding, with twin, queen, and king bed options, room-darkening curtains, and ample storage. Two full bathrooms upstairs provide convenience for all, featuring chic touches that speak of thoughtful attention to detail. Step outside into the fenced-in yard that boasts a year-round pool that is heated in the winter months, a covered patio with comfortable seating, a propane grill for BBQ evenings under the Texan stars, a fire pit, and a fun cornhole set. The perfect backdrop to socialize, unwind and make new memories.

More Details:

Home Away From Home has been completely remodeled to bring a fresh new look to the Enchanted Oaks community in Bryan, Texas. It still holds its original character and charm and is unique in its own right. The mature oak trees and luscious landscaping greet you as you make your way around the circle drive. The home sits on 1/3 of an acre! There is ample parking for all of your guests on site.

Upon entering with the keypad entry, you will be greeted by the staircase and the 1st living room. It is outfitted with a massive sectional that has room for 9, a TV and a reading nook. Under the tv., there is a treasure chest with board games. The stairs are to the left which lead to the 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Heading to the back of the house; there is a half bath with a stunning hand painted landscape mural.

The kitchen, dining room and second living room greet you with an abundance of natural light and an open concept. The kitchen has a large farmhouse sink, gorgeous granite countertops, gas range, oven, large side by side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, microwave, dishwasher, coffee bar (traditional drip and keurig) and an eating bar with two bar stools. It’s stocked with all the essentials to make meals at home. It even has Ninja air fryer!

On the other side of the kitchen, you’ll find the massive laundry room, office and ample storage. Feel free to use our washer and dryer during your stay as we always keep it stocked.

The farmhouse style dining room table has room for 8. It was handmade using the previous spindles that once separated the dining room from the living room. Our fabulous stadium seating behind our couch has seating for 3. The second living room is centered by the wood burning gas fireplace and has an abundance of natural light from two skylights. A couch and 4 chairs with numerous blankets await you. Gather around the wood burning fireplace or head outside to BBQ on our gas grill, sit on the fabulous patio, light up a fire in our fire pit or play a game of corn hole on our set. The massive backyard is southeast facing and is exceptional at sunset.

We improved our HVAC system by adding an additional zone upstairs (located in the 2 queen bedroom) to ensure our guests are always comfortable. We have excellent internet - 1 gigabyte. We also have an eero mesh network to ensure our internet covers the entire property!
