Pool Cottage in Historic Old Town Beaumont

[Please note: no pets, no smoking. Prices are as shown here. We don’t rent monthly or lease.] This cozy space, located above our detached garage, is perfect for traveling workers, families, or just passing through town. We're centrally located, a quick drive to anywhere in Beaumont (including Lamar and both hospitals). The neighborhood is peaceful and is known for its historic homes and beautiful old trees. The space The main house (where we live) and this apartment (above our detached garage) were built in 1926, during the height of Beaumont's boom from the oil and lumber industry. It boasts a full kitchen, 9-foot ceilings, original hardwood floor, and a full bathroom with a tall-person-friendly shower. It also opens up to a private deck overlooking the back yard and pool. Other amenities include fast wifi, cable TV, driveway parking, and a dedicated washer/dryer. A number of great local restaurants are a quick stroll or drive away. Please note that this is a "studio" apartment, so as you can see in the photos, the bedroom *is* the living room, and both beds (the full and the twin pull-out) are in that room. Also, please note that this is a second-floor unit, so you will need to climb stairs to access it. Guest access You can come and go as you wish, and we provide self-checkin (the door uses a key code, so there are no keys to keep track of). Guests have full use of the spacious saltwater pool anytime, 24/7. It's unheated, so it's only swim-ready during the warm months. Guests also have a dedicated washer and dryer downstairs from the apartment. Other things to note Anything listed as "public" or "shared" means it is shared with our family, not anyone else. The TV has cable channels (Sling), local channels, Netflix, Apple+, Amazon Prime, and a selection of on-demand TV shows and movies from our personal collection. You can also log in with your own streaming accounts. There is one *full* (double) bed, which is a cozy fit for two people if you're more accustomed to a queen or king. It has a medium-firm, two-layer hypoallergenic memory foam mattress. There is also a love seat that pulls out to a *twin* sized bed. With it pulled out, there is no additional floor space for another bed. We allow up to three guests, since many guests have done so, but in practice, the room comfortably sleeps 1-2. This is a second-floor unit, so climbing stairs is required to access it. Our neighbors have a rooster and dogs. They are loud and can make noise late at night or early in the morning. Most guests aren't bothered, but if you're a light sleeper, please consider this *before* booking. We provide a noise machine next to the bed, and comfy disposable earplugs in the medicine cabinet.
