About this house rental
Our waterfront home is only a 2-3 minute walk from the Kemah Boardwalk and the Kemah Lighthouse District, where you'll find shopping, food, fun and entertainment for the whole family. At the house, enjoy the sight and sound of the bay from boats and birds passing by. Get on the water with provided kayaks and explore the coast. Fish from our private 230-ft pier. There's an elevator, EV charger, foosball, ping pong, basketball, arcade, outdoor chess/checkers, and cornhole game.
The vacation retreat is situated right on the shoreline. Greeted with a beautiful sunrise each morning, you will be awed at the magnificent panoramic views of the bay from outside as well as inside of the house. There are lounging areas overlooking the gulf. The single and tandem kayaks can be launched from the concrete pad next to the water. Life jackets of different sizes are provided.
The heart of the house is its open floor plan that combines the living area with the dining room and kitchen. Rounding out the 2nd floor are bedrooms 1 & 2 and bathrooms 1 & 2. Bedrooms 3, 4 & 5 , bathroom 3 and an additional living room are on the 1st floor. All rooms are within the house under one roof and accessible with inside stairs and elevator.
Pierfect Day at Kemah Bay! Be at ease on our private 230-ft pier with hand railings on all sides. Chill under plenty of shade and cozy string lights which adorn the pier. There are lights for night fishing and cleaning stations with running water and sink on the pier and patio. We have caught red fish, flounder, speckled trout, black/red drum, sheepshead, catfish, alligator gar, crabs, including sharks! If you love to fish, this is the place!

House was amazing and large enough for our family of 8. The kids spent a lot of time in the covered patio playing foosball and ping pong. Being walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants is a HUGE plus. We plan on making this our yearly summer escape. Cannot say enough good things about this place

This property has everything your family and friends need to have an amazing get away. The entire house is well labeled for your convenience. Far too many amenities to list. Worth every penny!

My family and I had a wonderful time. The fishing and crabbing was great. The house was clean and provided us with everything we needed. We will be returning.

This was a family gathering. Most likely our Mom’s last trip with her kids. I can’t say enough good things about this property!! Every little touch was so nice. Charging cords everywhere, crab pots a plenty, and tons of fun games. I could stay here every time we venture to the Galveston area. Le has done a great job of maintaining this property in a harsh environment. It seems like he thought of everything. I highly recommend staying here with a big group. There is something for everyone!!!!
5.0
The house was better than expected, as it provided our group an opportunity to do so many things. The dock; the gaming tables; the video game table; the grill; the basketball hoop; the Amusement Park and Boardwalk; that Kitchen! The accommodations were relaxing, clean, refreshing, and a joy to come back to after a long day sightseeing and exploring. Everyone in our group wants the chance to stay in the home for future vacation getaways. Overall, we had a great time experiencing everything your home had to offer. Thanks for the opportunity. We will see this home again soon.

5.0
Everything about the house and my experience with the host Le exceeded my expectations. The house is beautiful. It is comfortable. It is immaculately clean. The furnishings are high quality and functional. Le has truly thought of everything: books and games for children and adults, a gorgeous pier perfect for fishing and crabbing, a kitchen that is very large and stocked with everything necessary to cook for a group. The balcony is huge and has lots of comfortable seating and shade. The patio on ground level is large and has lots of comfortable furniture. There is a large screened-in porch with ping pong and foosball. There are two kayaks for guests to use. Everything inside the house is clearly labeled, making it easy to choose what is needed, and then to return it to its correct location. Kitchen and bathroom supplies are plentiful and high quality for guests to use during their stay. We are a group of college friends who are now senior citizens, we live in different states, and the house was exactly what we needed to make the most of every precious moment together. Le was a pleasure to work with and I would love to stay in her beautiful home again. It is the most special VRBO that I have ever experienced.

I can’t stress enough how truly perfect this experience was. Best VRBO hosts ever - seriously. Amazing communication and the property was incredible. Every drawer, door, etc., is labeled - they thought of everything. Fun property as well.

My friends and I stayed here for a fantasy football draft and the place exceeded our expectations! The fishing pier was the highlight for us but we also very much enjoyed the games throughout the house, especially the foosball table :) Location can't be beat as well. It's also within 5 minute walk to the boardwalk and all the various bars and restaurants nearby. Hands down the best VRBO stay I've ever had and Le was such an incredible host. Can't recommend this place enough!

This house has everything we needed for a lovely weekend getaway for our family. The location is fantastic! We were both on the water and a short walk from the Kemah boardwalk area.
Communication with owners was clear! The property was neat and clean.
We will happily stay there again in the future!

First off, the house couldn't be in a better location. It's right on the water and steps away from the boardwalk.
Second, the house itself is fantastic. Very clean, spacious, well kept, and the amenities are great.
I really enjoyed this place and would book again.

House was cozy!! Everyone had a wonderful time!!!

Location location location! This house is walking distance from everything and we had so much fun. Prefect for our group of 7 adults. It's a lovely, very well appointed, comfortable house with amazing views from both up and downstairs patios. Comfy beds and furniture. Several sitting rooms around the house and outside, with lots of fun games to enjoy. The lights!!! OMG the pier is like a picture when it's all lit up! So picturesque. Had a hard time getting the guys away from the video game machine, but when we finally dragged them away we drove to a lovely, private little beach called El Jardin. We walked everywhere else- the Boardwalk, tons of restaurants, boutiques and bars. Plus the house has really simple and straight forward rules- and everything is labeled and in good condition. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time relaxing at this home. We didnt have time to enjoy all the aspects but we plan to stay again. Walking distance to Kemah was perfect as well as as the resteraunts near by. Highlight was the fishing pier which suprisingly all of our teenage girls enjoyed and hung out their both nights!!

Decided to spend my daughters 8th birthday in kemah. Location is literally right around the corner from the boardwalk. 5-10 min walk from all the restaurants. The house itself was just as listed. Comfy clean bedding, cold ac through out the home & all the amenities. The family loved the ping pong table & foose ball table. Definitely not a home to pass up

What a wonderful time, home, host and experience! The home is gorgeous, very clean and welcoming. Booking and check-in were easy and we felt at home immediately. This home is set up not only for staying overnight but also having fun with family and friends. We fished, played games, enjoyed quality time and relaxing in the waterfront atmosphere. We also loved the convenience of walking back and forth to the Kemah Boardwalk when we wanted. The host was very kind and helpful and we plan to stay here again!!!!!
