Beautiful home, better than expected! The layout of the house was ideal for our three families. Everyone had their own space and the king rooms with on-suite baths alleviated any issues. The home is spacious and the wrap-around decks were great for relaxing and watching the waves. The kitchen is five-star for cooking and entertaining. Would definitely come back.

Enjoyed watching the pelicans fly over. The views were great with floor to ceiling windows. Had every thing you needed. Bought seafood from Roses and never had to leave for a meal. Great local getaway!

It was a honor and a blessing
Out of all the houses we stayed at - i must say this house is at the top of my list!
Only thing, because me and my son likes to fish, wish they would fix the light under the pier or put some lights on the deck
That was the only problem

The house was perfect for our family Easter weekend. We had family come in from Delaware who wanted to stay on the water but one guest couldn’t do stairs so the elevator made it perfect. We were all able to be together. The owner was great with answering any questions we had.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house is large enough that everyone was able to find something to do and have his/her own space. And the host was very kind and communicative. It's also a pleasant walk (a little less than a mile) to Kemah Boardwalk, which is always fun.

Starting with this exceptionally roomy and well equipped house, our family and extended family were able to be together for a week over Thanksgiving with plenty of elbow space for everyone and all of the appliances needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast.
Then there was the ever gracious property manager. While this house has great appliances, things happen and he took care of them quickly.
We are experienced in vacation property rentals and we've seen some dogs. This is house is truly a cut above, and yes, we would absolutely rent it again if were back in Kemah.

Great Getaway by the bay
Our group of adults and toddlers had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was well equipped with anything you needed and very clean with a beautiful view of the water. We caught some fish off the back deck. Will love to come back!

Reunion
We had a great visit during thanksgiving with four generations. This home was perfect for all of us. We had plenty of space and privacy. Amenities were great. Host was so congenial and responsive to any questions or concerns. Within short distance to Kemah boardwalk , which was wonderful for our out of town guests. Recommend this home.

Perfect home for a group golf outing
Ideal for a group of men on a multi-day golf outing. Nearly everyone had their own bathroom, Master ensuite bath equipped with steam, jacuzzi and huge walk in shower. Two kitchens, one with all the bells and whistles, wet bar with wine chiller and ice machine, and most importantly an attentive and helpful host. Definitely will be back the next time in the area.

Great family getaway!
This was the perfect property for a family or for a few couples. Lots to do in the area. The property was well maintained, well appointed and felt like home away from home. We will visit again.

clean, well located, enjoyable
Perfect for what we needed, though it could also suit a large group of people. Kitchen/laundry/bathroom/bedrooms all in great shape. Lots of space indoors for whatever you want.

Generational Family Retreat
We escaped to this beautiful property for Spring Break and had a great time. The home is beautiful and has plenty of room for extended family. There was plenty to do at the house and due to covid we didn’t venture out but still had a blast. We watched movies on the smart TVs, had a game night, and enjoyed amazing ocean views every day. The owner responded to every email as soon as I sent them and due to this, we felt so well cared for. And let me tell you how clean it is - due to covid we bring our own wipes to disinfect light switches, door knobs, and handles -and those wipes were still white when we finished! No dirt or grime anywhere! We’ve stayed in many hotels and rental homes, and this has been the best choice by far. We would love to come again!

Nice, quiet getaway!
Enjoyed our stay, the owner did everything to get the house ready for us after a freeze that broke some pipes and communicated with us well. Loved sitting out on the deck, enjoying the view with a glass of wine. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful house, great location
We had an amazing time over the Columbus Day weekend. This is a beautiful and comfortable home within walking distance of Kemah boardwalk but hidden away from the traffic and noise. The neighborhood was blissfully quiet. There were seven of us staying for the weekend, and we had plenty of space. Everyone had a ton of fun playing foosball, playing board games, and just enjoying the amazing view. The fishing pier belonging to the house is the short pier with the covered palapa. You don't actually have access the longer neighboring piers. You can still have fun fishing with the kids, but it's unlikely you'll catch any large fish, as the water in that area is not deep. The kitchen is fully stocked, but we mostly ordered out. There are quite a lot of restaurants nearby. Overall we had an amazing weekend and plan to stay again sometime.

Fantastic stay in Kemah
I rented this house for my bridesmaids during my wedding weekend in Kemah. It was the perfect venue for hanging out, getting ready, and traveling to and from the Boardwalk. Our hosts were very accommodating, allowing us to check in early and responding to emails very quickly. I cannot recommend this property enough!

Fabulous stay!
What a great location and HUGE water view! We rented this home while visiting family in the area, and it was so wonderful being in the water, that everyone came over here to hang out!
Well appointed and super comfortable, this place made our visit perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable. Close walk to Kemah Boardwalk restaurants.
Manager was friendly and super responsive when needed.
We will definitely stay here again!

Nice family get away!
Loved everything about the property. There were 12 of us--great for our annual family Santa Sleepover. Since we cooked every meal at the house, it was inconvenient to go downstairs to use the oven every meal--the kitchen oven was broken and the owner was waiting for the part. The owner let us know prior to arrival that he was very sorry that the part had not arrived in time.
