This is our fourth time to stay at the seaside retreat. We love it. The location is perfect being next to the Kemah Boardwalk and several restaurants. Great house for couples with the in-suite bathrooms.
Love the back covered patio. It’s a nice spot on a warm day due to the shade and gulf breeze. We will stay there again! Thanks Tim for being a great Host!

Great premises for a larger group, not far out of Houston proper. Tim the host was very helpful during our stay. Kemah is a funky, fun area.

The home was beautifully decorated for us for Christmas and the morning sunrises were nice once the winter fog lifted. The owner keeps the home well stocked with necessities in case you forget something. Lots to do nearby in walking distance. Or simply visit with family on the large deck. We would definitely recommend a stay here. 🙂 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Plenty of room for our family gathering. The Boardwalk is literally on the same block and there was something for everyone to enjoy. We took an entire day at the beach. We drove out to catch the free ferry to enjoy the gulf side but opted not to ferry back (long wait to board).
Over all the home was clean and comfortable.

This place is in a great location! You can walk to a lot of restaurants and bars and the boardwalk is right next door. There is plenty of separate spaces so you’re not on top of each other unless you want to be. We came with 10 adults and a dog and it was great! We all liked hanging out at the tiki bar. The fishing pier being attached to the property was fun too! We would definitely stay here again!

We spent the days with friends that we don't get to see very often. The house was perfect for 3 couples. We really enjoyed the deck overlooking the water and the deck out front. It was nice having this deck and we enjoyed our last meal there.. We all parked our vehicles and walked to restaurants and everywhere. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed.
We might make this a new tradition.

We just did a quick golf trip with 8 guys. All I can say is this was the top VRBO by far of all that we've done. It felt like we had 4 totally different living quarters which was awesome.
It was a very unique property, from the tiki bar to watch Monday Night Football, to the deck overlooking the gulf. And then catching 5-8 pound catfish on the pier. After that, a short walk over to the roller coaster for a fun ride, and the day was full!
And Starbucks about a 3 minute walk didn't hurt either. As for food/drinks, too many options to talk about.
This was just a great place that all should try And the host was awesome as well. Thanks, Tim!

Perfect house for families with teens
We’ve rented dozens of houses in multiple places but mostly Galveston. This time we decided to try Kemah and this property was perfect for us. We had 5 kids(grandkids) age 12-15 and every one of them thanked me for finding this house. It’s literally next door to the boardwalk….about a 2 min walk. Also, Starbucks is the first shop you’ll encounter on the trip to the Boardwalk so my sister-in-law loved having that option each morning for a quiet cup of coffee almost to ourselves most days. The house has the great fishing pier where every kid and their Papa caught multiple catfish during our 3 night stay. And the paddle canoes were also much appreciated for some friendly racing around the pier and back. There’s a room on the top floor with ping pong, so the older boys really enjoyed that when not fishing or running back and forth to the roller coaster next door. And, there’s a golf cart if you want to explore downtown Kemah. Because our stay was during the week there were no lines at the Boardwalk rides to speak of….so they road rides nonstop for hours. Finally, the host was so helpful and responsive to every text….really hate to leave the review because I’m needing this house to stay available for future family trips. But, this is a gem ….don’t hesitate.

Great Week
The location of this property was great! You can fish from the prier, walk to the boardwalk and eating places are in walking distance as well. If you have a chance to go to Allen's Swamp Shack, it is delicious and had great live music. The house has great deck spaces. The house was mostly very clean. We did have sitting water in the dish washer that stunk so we just didn't use it. We had a few concerns about 2 of the bathrooms. One toilet getting stopped up and one leaking water, but the property manager responded quickly and was there that morning to look into it. Great house, great location, and great views. Oh, and the kids loved checking the crab traps!

Great place for a senior trip!
We had 15 in our party. 8 seniors and 7 moms. Had a great time. Loved the layout of the bedrooms for our group. Using the golf cart was super fun and we rented the neighbors too! We had one small issue with the stove and the owner stopped over within the hour to help us. Kemah we found to be a sweet little seaside village with shopping, tiki bars and restaurants and the boardwalk! Highly recommend!

Pier Pleasure!
Everything was ready and freshly cleaned for us when we arrived. Toilet paper was supplied, the kitchen was stocked and the property was exactly how it was portrayed online. We loved using the kayaks in the morning when the water was calm, fishing/crabbing off the pier and the proximity of all the restaurants and entertainment on the Kemah Boardwalk. Just a bit of advice, we think the home could be better decorated, nothing too expensive but well staged to look nice for guest (replace older non matching furnishings etc.). The end of the road seems to attract a lot of people, they park on the road sometimes blocking our vehicles in. They sit on the big pieces of concrete, we had several people walking in the yard and one asking to use the pier with their children. I’m unsure of the property lines, maybe a fence might help for liability reasons. Again this isn’t a complaint, we had a great time! Tim was quick to respond and a pleasure! We will return. Thanks Tim!

Bayside heaven
What an amazing property! Tim thought of it all. Starting with the tiki hut bar on the upper deck, it was a great place to hangout having a drink catching the boardwalk and glimpse of the bay. All 5 bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable. Kitchen and dining room has the wall to wall view of the boardwalk and the bay. The 300ft pier was a great additional feature of the home. We caught crabs and more than a dozen of giants gaff tops each weight at least 3 lbs and up. The biggest weight 6lbs.
We had a great time driving the golf cart all around town. Every bars and restaurants within 5 mins walking distant.
All in all, we love this property and the host, Tim.
This is a great place to be with friends and family. It has everything for everyone! I look forward to come back to this property soon. It's paradise on the bay!

This home is a fantastic place to stay. The covered deck overlooking the water is the superstar! We spent a lot of time sitting out there watching the water, boats, jumping fish, and birds. We even had a few dolphins come by in the mornings. There's a nice breeze and not many bugs around. The private pier is amazing and a great place to be. We didn't fish, but it would be a great spot! I do caution travelers with small children though. Little ones could easily fall in the water. Adding a lower railing would help. The main part of the home is great although the only main bathroom is off the master so that was kind of weird. The home technically has 5 bedrooms, but the bottom level bedroom has a musty smell so we didn't stay down there. And one of the upper bedrooms (with the ping pong table) only has access from an outdoor spiral staircase. It was fine for us because we have older kids, but it could be an issue for some people. We took a few rides on the golf cart which was fun. The brakes take awhile to stop though, so go slow. We drove over to the little ice cream shop, Cool Cow Creamery, nearby which was nice. It's kinda hidden, but worth it!I would stay here again. The outdoor areas are amazing!
