About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Kemah house is on the Bay side of 146, ½ mile up Kipp Ave to the Boardwalk

The Kemah house is not on the water but you can see the water when your relaxing on the deck. Walk across the street to the Bel Road Park and see a full view of the Galveston Bay and the Lights from Downtown Kemah. We are on the water side of 146 that means easy access to the Kemah Boardwalk Restaurant’s, Entertainment and Night Life. All the fun is up Kipp Ave ½ mile away. You are just far enough away that you can't hear the roller-coaster noise coming from the Kemah Boardwalk.
The house is fully furnished with everything you need for a week-end get away including Internet/ WIFI. The garage is very spacious and a Large driveway for your Boat or Motor home. No Saturday or holiday check in or check out.

Check in was very simple. Annette knew we would be arriving after dark so she was so thoughtful to leave outside lights on for us as well and inside lights too. Annette was very quick to answer answer that I had. The house was very clean as others had stated. The neighborhood was very quiet and the neighbors we all so friendly. The only thing I could suggest is to put a queen bed in the master bedroom so my husband and myself could have slept together. My husband slept in the twin bed in the master bedroom and I slept in the full size bed with our dog in another bedroom. The house is so quiet and I slept so good every night . Well, most likely stay here again when we're in the area.

Lovely house near the bay (across the street) in a quiet residential neighborhood. Quiet neighbors and low traffic road made for a pleasant time on the porch and nice walks in the morning. We were here for the week while our teens went to a NASA camp and it was perfect (just 15 min away.) The boardwalk is close (1 mile) if that is your thing. Be sure to check the bed configuration to make sure that it works for your group ; it was more than enough room for us and we would return in a heartbeat! The owner checked in on us and was great! *tip: Try the Pier 6 restaurant in San Leon (about 15 min away)—great views/food.

Fun!

The house was perfect for our stay, the only thing i would suggest is to add a queen size bed to the master for adult couples. We ended up pushing the two twins together. The golf cart was an added bonus, we used it to go to the boardwalk for dinner and fun almost every night. Annette was inviting and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Would highly recommend.

This property was just perfect! Perfect location, perfect size for our family. Ms. Annette responded quickly with any questions we had. The golf cart was easy to use for the short drive down to the boardwalk. We look foward to using this property again when we find ourselves in Kemah again. We also spotted our new little friend (picture added).

Perfect location, lots of perks

This beach house was nestled in such a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and was ideal for my husband, me and our three teenagers. A view of the water made it so relaxing and the natural light that flooded the house was perfect! Our girls enjoyed the quick golf cart ride to the boardwalk each night. Having a golf cart at your disposal was definitely a perk we were delighted with, along with unexpected treats, drinks and wine in the refrigerator for us! House was spotless, check in and clean up was the easiest I have ever had with a VRBO rental, and Annette was available immediately for anything we needed. Price was definitely lower than I would have expected for such a location, too. Only a 15 minute drive to NASA, plenty of shopping, and plenty of great restaurants nearby. Would definitely choose this spot again! VRBO rental

Great stay in Kemah during the Winter

We enjoyed our trip to Kemah and Annette's home was the perfect getaway to stay and in a quiet area of the boardwalk area. We walked to bars and restaurants as the weather was perfect and places easy to get to.Marina's are also close to the home and, having the golf cart to cruise around town was fantastic during the day. We will definitely come back in the future.
