This was an incredible stay for a trip of fishing and relaxation! This property was perfectly peaceful!! I read and watched the water while my husband fished, and we could not have picked a better place!! The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular!! The owners were on site and a phone call away if we needed anything, but we did not! Most special part was on Friday night, there were fireworks at the Kemah Boardwalk, and we could see them from the property so easily! We will certainly return, and I’m counting down the days until then!

Stayed here for a family reunion. Our family rented several houses in this area. We had a wonderful time here. It was great coming back to this house at the end of the day, super clean, and a great bed. Having a super comfie bed makes a huge difference! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks to hosts❤️

This is a quaint comfortable cottage. The patio has a nice view as well as the balcony. We had our 5 pound Maltipoo with us and the host allowed us to leave her for a few hours so we could go to the Space Center. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice Weekend Getaway

My fiancé and I wanted a weekend break from wedding planning, and this provided just what we were looking for! Accessible views of the water from the balcony with access to a fishing pier, just a few minutes' drive from the Kemah Boardwalk and relatively easy to find! We would both recommend this for a couple looking for a little escape from it all!

Cozy Cottage

Loved the wood beams and ceilings downstairs and wood floors upstairs. Only bath on first floor with only bedroom on second floor was a bit challenging but the access to very nice deck on the bay made it worth it. Would go back if circumstance presented itself.

rainout

it was a complete rainout - i got to stay one night and then it flooded, I could barely get out of the cottage to get in my car and leave, I would have really appreciated if the owner would have refunded at least a partial amount.

La petite Maison

Absolutely loved the location of the property. The cottage was very clean and cozy. We had the run of their deck in the front of the house right on the water. Enjoyed having coffee out there in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening just listening to the waves. Very relaxing…just what we were looking for. The actual place we stayed was a cute cottage behind the main house. It has a balcony outside the bedroom and when we weren’t on the main deck we were sitting on the balcony of the cottage. I will say the downstairs is not as large as we thought it would be. Not really room to stretch out and watch tv but we were either relaxing on the main house’s deck or out enjoying the area.

This was everything!

We enjoyed our stay at La Petit Maison and will cherish the memories for years to come. The host was welcoming, communicative and informative. Everything was as described and the place was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We also enjoyed the Rusty Hook grill, just around the corner from the cottage. Additionally we appreciated being only minutes away in drive time to Kemah Boardwalk and NASA Space Center.

Definitely "Petite", but wonderful cottage!

The location is perfect! It's only about a 6 minute drive to Kemah and about 25 minutes to Galveston. The cottage is actually located just behind the main house. There is a deck off of the bedroom upstairs that has a nice view of the Bay. And if you walk by the side of the main house there is a beautiful Deck with lounge chairs that overlooks a fantastic view of the Bay! We were very pleased with our stay!

Great location

The property is as described. It was my error in thinking that our lodging was directly on the water. The cottage is located behind the house which is on the water. Just a short walk on the side of the house to the large patio located waterfront. Opening the front door, you walk into one compact room, which is the living room, dining room and kitchen all in one. Small couch, coffee table (which lifts up to make a small dining table), and kitchen area. The bedroom upstairs is very large. There is a small balcony off the bedroom with view of water. There is an A/C unit in each room. Hosts were in communication, making sure we were taken care of.
