Our first Family Vacation ever!!!!

The house was everything we wanted in size and comfort The only thing we found could have helped our stay be a bit more comfortable was if there were a few outdoor ceiling fans over the patios to enjoy the nice water view.

Wonderful Holiday weekend!

We stayed here for the July 4th weekend. The location is perfect for quite relaxation as well as convenient to supply stores, restaurants, and Kemah boardwalk. The house was very clean and organized, well supplied and had amazing sunrise views. There was ample space for my husband and I as well as a room and private bath for both of our adult daughters. The beds are comfy and the air conditioning keeps the house very cool! The pool was perfect for our family. There are many pool floats, toys and towels provided. The dock/fishing pier was amazing. We caught (and released) many redfish, catfish, sheepshead and a few crab. The absolute best thing was waking in the morning, sitting on the dock and watching the Texas sun rise over the peaceful bay waters and the pelicans diving for their breakfast. We were able to see fireworks all along the bay and the Kemah display from the dock as well. There are outside games in the garage along with a fun ping pong table. Paige was really quick to respond and answer any questions I had. 10/10 would recommend and stay here again!

Amazing View & Awesome Fishing Pier

My husband, myself, and three children (ages 16, 9, and 7) had an amazing time. This house was the perfect size for us. There are 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. It was a very nice house right on the bay. The pier was the reason we booked this house, and we will definitely stay here again! Of course the kiddos enjoyed the pool, and it was nice to hop in and cool off. My only complaint is we had to go back home and didn’t get to stay here forever!

Pictures don’t do it justice

Overall amazing stay! The house was perfect and had everything in it we needed. The newly built pier was awesome also, the weather was a little all over the place during our stay so fishing wasn’t great but we did catch several fish. The firm mattress on the king and queen beds were the only thing that wasn’t perfect for us but I know lots of people prefer the firm mattresses. We will definitely book again when we need a quick relaxing getaway on the bay.

Serenity!

Rented this property for myself and four adult daughters to relax and enjoy the weekend. We all felt very comfortable and truly enjoyed the comfort this home exudes. It is an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city! We loved the pool and bay view. Mornings on the back deck where we enjoyed the stillness of the morning with coffee was fabulous.

Nice property. Great location.

The house is nicer than in the pictures. The house is very spacious, more than enough spaces for 6 adults and 1 kid. It’s a great place for fishing. One minor issue was the water pressure of first floor showers were too low. But, we all really enjoyed the house anyway. Communication was great. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Peaceful Retreat

This home was far beyond my expectations. The setting is so serene and relaxing, inside and outside. The neighborhood is quiet, the sound of the waves soothing, morning sunrises and evening sunsets were beautiful. The house is nicely furnished, the kitchen is well stocked, and the house is very clean. We had a great time swimming in the pool, the fact that it was heated made it even better. The atmosphere was perfect for me to study, journal, and take time for reflecting. Both my friend and I plan to return. I think it will be a go to place for me to get away. I also want to say that Paige is wonderful! She is very responsive, and has a great demeanor. One day we went to hop in the pool and the water was cold. She had someone out there the same day who fixed the problem. She takes great care of her home and her guests. She’s a wonderful host!

Perfect family vacation spot

What a wonderful property! The location was ideal…close to the beach, Kemah boardwalk, NASA, etc. The kids loved the pool! It was a little chilly when we stayed but the owner turned up the heat on the pool and it was nice and comfortable. Everything is clean and the beds and rooms were comfortable. We really enjoyed watching the ships on the bay and relaxing on the deck in the evening. It was the perfect getaway!
