BillsPlaces.com: Where the Stay Is Part of the Adventure
Pirate ships, a Van Gogh-inspired floating retreat, a Victorian steampunk adventure, vintage Hawaiian paradise, and some of the most unusual accommodations in Texas.
Why settle for an ordinary hotel room when you could sleep aboard a pirate ship, step into the imagination of Vincent van Gogh, or travel back to the 1800s?
Welcome to BillsPlaces.com, a collection of extraordinary themed accommodations in Kemah and Houston, Texas, where the place you stay is every bit as interesting as the destination you’re visiting.
Created by world traveler, entertainer, and lifelong adventurer Bill Wiatrak, BillsPlaces is anything but your typical vacation rental business. Every property has its own personality, filled with unusual decorations, creative details, and a little bit of magic.
Two Pirate Boats, Twice the Adventure
Ahoy, matey! If you’ve ever dreamed of living like a pirate, BillsPlaces has two opportunities to make it happen.
Pirate Paradise is a floating pirate-themed hideaway near the Kemah Boardwalk. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the marina, it’s a chance to trade an ordinary hotel room for a nautical adventure.
For something a little more mysterious, there’s the Ghostly Galleon, a pirate vessel with a spooky personality all its own. With its distinctive wooden exterior and pirate decorations, it’s the kind of boat that makes people stop and stare.
Both offer a taste of pirate life without having to walk the plank.
Starry Starboard: Spend the Night With Van Gogh
Art lovers, this one’s for you.
Starry Starboard transforms a floating getaway into a tribute to Vincent van Gogh, one of history’s most fascinating artists.
Inspired by his colorful paintings and unmistakable artistic style, this unusual accommodation brings art and imagination together in a setting that’s already extraordinary: a boat on the water.
It’s a chance to surround yourself with creativity while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of a marina.
Who needs a museum when you can sleep inside an artistic adventure?
Victorian Voyageur: A Journey Into the Steampunk 1800s
Imagine stepping aboard a vessel inspired by the age of Victorian explorers, eccentric inventors, and Jules Verne adventures.
That’s the spirit of the Victorian Voyageur, a floating retreat celebrating the imaginative world of 19th-century steampunk.
With its vintage atmosphere and adventurous theme, the Voyageur invites guests to imagine a time when steam-powered inventions, elaborate machinery, and fantastic journeys captured the world’s imagination.
It’s a little bit Victorian England, a little bit science fiction, and a whole lot of fun.
Tiki Boat: Vintage Hawaiian Paradise
You don’t need a plane ticket to Hawaii to enjoy a tropical escape.
The Tiki Boat brings the nostalgic charm of old-school Hawaiian vacations to the Texas waterfront.
Think vintage Polynesian style, tropical decorations, tiki-inspired details, and the relaxed atmosphere of a classic island getaway.
It’s a floating celebration of the days when Hawaiian shirts, exotic cocktails, and tropical music were practically a way of life.
Aloha, Texas!
Rockstar Retreat: Live Like a Rock Star
Turn up the volume and forget the ordinary.
Rockstar Retreat celebrates the outrageous personalities, bold colors, and unmistakable attitude of rock-and-roll.
With music-inspired decorations and an atmosphere that refuses to take itself too seriously, this Houston getaway is designed for guests who appreciate a little excitement.
It’s a place where being ordinary is definitely not encouraged.
Verona Villa: The Most Interesting House in Texas
Some houses are designed to blend into the neighborhood.
This isn’t one of them.
Verona Villa, also known as the Most Interesting House in Texas, is a wonderfully eclectic property filled with imaginative spaces, unusual decorations, and unexpected surprises.
With its tropical outdoor atmosphere, distinctive architecture, and creative touches, the property reflects a lifetime spent collecting ideas and inspiration from around the world.
It’s the kind of place where exploring the property is part of the entertainment.
Available for extended stays, Verona Villa offers guests an opportunity to enjoy a truly unusual home rather than another predictable rental.
Inspired by a World of Adventures
What do pirate ships, Vincent van Gogh, Victorian inventors, Hawaiian tiki culture, and rock-and-roll have in common?
Not much, unless you’ve met Bill Wiatrak.
After traveling through nearly every country on Earth, Bill has developed an appreciation for the unusual, the artistic, the historical, and the downright bizarre.
Those interests are reflected throughout BillsPlaces.
Rather than creating identical rental properties furnished from the same catalog, Bill has turned each accommodation into its own little world.
The goal isn’t simply to provide somewhere comfortable to sleep. It’s to give guests an experience they’ll remember long after they’ve checked out.
Explore Kemah and Houston
BillsPlaces properties are located in the Houston and Kemah areas, giving visitors access to some of Southeast Texas’s favorite attractions.
Enjoy waterfront dining and entertainment at the Kemah Boardwalk, explore the fascinating world of space travel at Space Center Houston, discover Houston’s museums and restaurants, or simply spend an evening relaxing aboard one of our unique floating accommodations.
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, celebrating a special occasion, or just looking for somewhere completely different to stay, there’s an adventure waiting.
Ordinary Hotels Are Everywhere. BillsPlaces Isn’t.
You can stay in a conventional hotel almost anywhere in the world.
But how often do you get to sleep on a pirate boat, surround yourself with Van Gogh’s imagination, escape to vintage Hawaii, or spend the night in a Victorian steampunk fantasy?
At BillsPlaces, we believe the best travel memories aren’t always made at famous landmarks.
Sometimes they’re made right where you’re staying.
