About this house rental
Historic and charming, Boardwalk Bungalow is located just steps away from the Kemah Boardwalk— considered to be one of the premier boardwalks in the country. This classic Texas vacation home has sleeping space for eight people and a spacious outdoor lounging area with tons of seating, a fire pit, a charcoal grill, a sunken dining space, and a lush grassy area. When you’re ready to explore, the themed restaurants, shops, and amusement rides of the Kemah Boardwalk are right around the corner.
Location: Kemah, Texas - 0.3 miles to the Kemah Boardwalk!
WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.
Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.
Pet policy: Up to 2 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if you’re planning on bringing your furry friend!
Parking: We have room for up to 3 cars in the driveway.
Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.
Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.
When you arrive at Boardwalk Bungalow, you’ll park on a cobblestone driveway— the first sign that you’ve arrived someplace special. Once inside, you’ll find a living, dining, and kitchen space flooded with bright Texas sunshine. On the main floor, the master suite has a king-size bed and an attached full bathroom that can also be accessed from the dining area. There’s also a convenient laundry room on the main floor. Upstairs in the lofted sleeping space, two queen-size beds and one double bed sit underneath a vaulted ceiling highlighted with exposed wood beams. The whole room is surrounded by large, light-filled windows and peaceful views of the treetops.
Outside through the French doors, a tropical Texas oasis awaits. The massive, sun-dappled deck space has plenty of seating for everyone to spread out and relax. Sip your mug of morning coffee out here and listen to the birds, or share a bottle of wine at twilight. The fire pit makes an ideal gathering space for roasting gooey s’ mores after dinner. Grill some juicy burgers on the charcoal grill while the kids and pets play in the grassy area nearby. For a Texas vacay that’s filled with fun, sun, and excitement, Boardwalk Bungalow is the place your whole family will want to return to again and again.

We have been to Kemah before as a family, but this time we decided to rent a beach house for a better experience Russell was incredibly prompt with every question I had which made the booking experience a breeze! The house was absolutely darling and spacious for our family of four. There was plenty of room to bring easy meals for the evening and convenient enough to walk down to the boardwalk and enjoy a night with the family. We will definitely be looking to book again! Thank you for an incredible experience!

Clean cozy house 4 blocks from boardwalk. Plenty of space inside and out for relaxing. Huge deck with BBQ and lots of seating. Big kitchen and washer/dryer. Wonderful airy bedroom upstairs with 3 double beds. The house has 1 bathroom which is downstairs ensuite to a bedroom with a king bed and an entrance off the kitchen. Very nice safe neighborhood 1 block from the bay. We would stay here again.

We were in town visiting friends that had a new baby, but we grew up in this area. The location of this rental is fantastic. Walking distance to some of our faves: the coffee shop, Cool Cow Creamery, Dan’s Pizza and the Kemah boardwalk. The layout of the house is nice and we enjoyed plenty of couch space in the living room and the large kitchen for cooking. There was even a crockpot! Our dog enjoyed having green space in the yard and we loved being just a block from some beautiful water views on our morning walks. We would stay here again if we needed someplace in this area.

Loved sitting on the back deck and enjoying the beautifully landscaped backyard. The quaint home was well decorated and cheery! The bunk room upstairs with its bright windows was a fun place to watch the sun come up!

ALL 3 beds upstairs are so nasty ( toe nail clippings- dirt - blood spots )we had to was them ourselves Told the gentleman on the phone and his reply is thank you I will let house keeping know. I have been renting from VRBO for 20 years and never have left a bad review. With this kind of reply this might be my first. Also I have 3 other things I was not to worried about but I will tell you now 1. No hot water in bathroom sink 2. Bathroom door is falling off its hinges, will not shut. 3. Beds upstairs need all bolts tightened, I could only hand tighten.

Nice stay
This place is super cute and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Loved the decor and the couch is very comfortable. A few maintenance things needed to be addressed but nothing major. These include: no hand towel hanger in bathroom, light bulbs out, tv remote in living room was not working properly, fire pit did not light. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Quaint house perfectly situated!
We stayed here for two nights in December. The house was very comfortable, clean, and well stocked with fresh linens and towels. The house was easily within walking distance of a great variety of restaurants and other things to do on the boardwalk. We would gladly stay here again!

Perfect place for our family
We had a great time! It was our first time in Houston area and this location was perfectly situated close to all the places we went to visit.
Very clean, comfortable, and convenient. The kitchen is fully stocked up with kitchen supplies, extra blankets, and towels.
The Kemah Boardwalk was walking distance, also so close to restaurants, coffee shops and a nearby park.
We will be back!!

Do not trust renting with BeachBox Vacation Rentals
RENTERS BEWARE...I rented this house through VRBO which is posted and managed through BeachBox. It was a one night rental that was made 2 months prior. The trip was to gather my elderly parents and my brothers family (my brother recently passed away from cancer) together at a comfortable home to ensure my mother with dementia could see her grandchildren. The night before we left to head to Houston, I got a text message at 8PM stating that our house was double booked and not longer available. The text stated 'we are not sure how this happened'. Immediately called the number and was met with the most bizarre conversation. The representative not only didn't have ANY thing to offer as far as a solution, he kept repeating to get my refund in a timely manor, I had to cancel on my end. I explained the delicate situation that this put me and my family in, with the only response to me was that I should go back on the VRBO website to look for another home. When I asked for the help of BeachBox, I was told 'that is not possible, there is nothing they can do'. When I kept inquiring on other solutions, I was then told to get a refund, I would get it 'faster' if I cancelled the reservation myself. When I looked at the reservation, it clearly stated 'no refund on cancellations' and inquired with the representative, he said 'this happens all the time' which was odd since the text message stated, 'we are not sure how this happened'. Come to find out from VRBO, sounded like if I was to cancel, not only would I not get my money back per the agreement but also BeachBox wouldn't have to pay a fee to VRBO for the issue on their end. When I asked to have an email sent to me with the company Letterhead stating why my reservation was canceled, I was told 'we do not have email' to which I asked for him to send through a personal email, he stated 'I will not do that'. Lastly, when he said again its best for me to call VRBO, I said 'ok, let's call right now together' he said 'I will not do that'. All in all, I realize mistakes can happen when companies book on multiple sites, but there was ZERO emphasis on helping me and my family find an alternate solution to the situation THEY put us in. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone, as my belief is they have their listings on multiple places and being a 1-night rental, they bumped me with a longer rental to get more money. We ended up getting our refund BUT HAD ZERO HELP to fix the situation for their mistake.

Great place
Great location and place overall. Loved it and we would stay again.
They need a railing to the upstairs and off the deck. The deck also has some loose boards and needs some maintenance. Lights in the backyard would be nice to make it more usable after dark.
Loved it overall.

Highly recommend
This is an adorable little house that my husband and I enjoyed staying at. The neighborhood is nice and we were close enough to walk to a couple of restaurants and the boardwalk. The only small inconvenience we had was at check-in time the cleaning lady wasn't done. Property management made it right by allowing us a later check out time. I would absolutely stay here again.

Super Cute and Great Location
The place was so cute. It has an amazing back deck and front porch. Everything inside was nicely decorated with updated appliances and very clean. We celebrated my daughter’s 15 birthday. The girls had the upstairs loft area all to themselves. It is also a great location. We were able to walk to the boardwalk. We would definitely book here again!

Overall this place was great and the communication with the property managers were top notch. The only callout is the couches need to be replaced due to stains. Otherwise I recommend staying here.

Girls Weekend Trip
Our group had an excellent time staying at this property! It was a perfect location, so conscientious being close to the board walk. The interior and exterior of the home match exactly the photos on the listing. The only downfall of this property is that there is only 1 bathroom. So with a bunch of girls we needed a lot of patience. Overall I would definitely stay here again!

Surprise Getaway with the Wife!!
First, and most importantly, my wife adored this place!! I booked this for her as a little surprise post anniversary present, and couldn't have found a better home than this little bungalow! Its a quick walk to the boardwalk and to dozens of restaurants and coffee shops, and on a really quiet street with almost no traffic. I let the home owners know that we would be coming for an anniversary trip and upon walking into the house, we were greeted by a dozen roses inside the door and a sweet welcome message. I can't recommend this home enough. Great find!

Perfection at the Boardwalk!
Absolute perfection! This house is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Right next to the boardwalk beautifully decorated, it looks like something out of a Southern Living magazine. We enjoyed the back deck and large back yard, and walked daily to the boardwalk for dinner, coffee and fun! Starbucks is just right around the corner! We can't wait to come back with friends!
