Home 5 minutes near Kemah Boardwalk - Dog Friendly - Yard & Fenced-in Patio

Discover the cozy Hospitality House -- Kemah Cottages on Walsh, featuring two unique accommodations: the Hospitality House at the front of the property and the Tiny Dream House tucked toward the rear. The property features two separate accommodations on the same lot, ideal for families, couples or friends traveling together who want to be close but still enjoy their own spaces.

Located in the unincorporated community of Bayview-just 3 miles south of the lively Kemah Boardwalk and only 3 blocks from the scenic Galveston Bay-this area offers a relaxed, country-style vibe close to the coast.

Bayview, like neighboring Bacliff, is home to a diverse mix of people and properties. Don't be surprised if you hear a rooster crowing in the afternoon-it's part of the local charm! While we're not directly on the water or beachfront, you're just minutes away from bay breezes, family restaurants and small-town character.

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on the screened-in porch, while watching the children play or your pup play freely.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a longer stay, Kemah Cottages on Walsh offers a comfortable, family-friendly home base near the coast. NEARBY ATTRACTIONS:

We loved our short visit. Although we mostly hung out at families house there is so much to do and all in a reasonable distance. The little house is so cute and was clean, host was easy to contact. Although we decided to leave our pet home it is pet friendly, they have a nice fenced in back yard. Would definitely book again.

The kitchen is fully equipped with supplies. They gave us plenty of nice towels. There’s plenty of supplies for grilling, outdoor fun, and board games. I don’t know about the tv; we didn’t use it. The washer & dryer was an added bonus. Love the coffee & tea station. We ran out of sugar and they brought some over; which is very thoughtful. We felt very comfortable there. When we visit Houston again, I will definitely book here again.

The house was very clean. Needed some extra throw blankets and dish towels. Decent old house that has a few condition issues but is overall comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. The owner was available whenever I texted her. Some traffic congestion due to construction, but you are within a few miles from Kemah/Seabrook but you are not stuck in the middle of the congestion there. Has a fenced backyard.

Great place, comfortable,, clean and a great location 5 min to the Kemah boardwalk. Exactly what we were looking for. We were greeted with an easy self check in, lots of snacks and coffee and a wonderful backyard for the dog. Great little back porch was awesome i for coffee in the morning. Had everything we needed for the kitchen and great living room area. Thank you for having such a great go to book about the house, how to work the TV all the channels, things to do around town, directions to hospitals, grocery stores, entertainment, restaurants, etc. and the check out policy. It was very helpful.. I would definitely rent this one again loved it !!""
