I would recommend staying at this property, it is very nice and the outdoor area is great so entertaining for the children and adults. The property is in a great location to the boardwalk and restaurants. We rented a golf cart from a near by vendor, and that’s all we needed to get around for the weekend. The host was very responsive when contacted. If we visit Kemah in the future, we will stay here again.

This was a great house for a peaceful weekend getaway. The house was equipped with everything that was needed, cozy living area & comfortable beds too. The location was perfect because it was quiet, but also just a few minutes from lively Kemah boardwalk for eating & entertainment options.

Fantastic Property
Our family gathered to celebrate Mothers Day. The property is beautiful, kitchen has all the necessary utensils, living room and bedrooms are very nice. The covered outdoor area is fantastic. We spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the supplied games and playing cards. Nice charcoal burning grill and supplies. Everyone had a great time. Will definitely rent again.

A True Hidden Gem in Kemah, Texas
Our recent stay at this Kemah VRBO was nothing short of amazing! The home was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.The location was ideal; just a short walk to the Kemah Boardwalk, offering easy access to fantastic dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Despite being close to the action, the neighborhood was peaceful and felt incredibly safe, allowing us to unwind completely. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home, from the cozy furnishings to the well-stocked kitchen. It was evident that the hosts put a lot of care into ensuring their guests have a memorable experience.If you’re planning a trip to Kemah, I highly recommend this property. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return!

Great location. House was perfect for our small group of 8. There were a few suggestions….2 extra blankets in the closets, extra toilet paper (we did run out but someone brought a couple of rolls). We all enjoyed the house, cozy and very clean. Downstairs area was fun, lots of games and something for everyone. We’ll definitely be back.

Great location & a clean, cute house!
We stayed for a golf trip the end of March and had a great time. The whole house was really clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and we loved all of the outdoor games downstairs. The outdoor space downstairs was awesome for our toddler! We also loved the open floor plan inside. We had a little issue with getting in but the property manager was immediately available to help. It says it in the listing but I missed it so the only downfall is not having 2 standing showers but we made it work. Would definitely recommend!

Kemah Baydreaming property
My sorority sisters and I had a great time visiting Kemah and staying in this lovely home! The home was just as it was pictured. Beautiful, open, bright, clean and fun! Great neighborhood also.
The only complaint was the low water pressure which made washing dishes and bathing slightly more difficult. Hopefully it is something that can be fixed easily. Otherwise, no complaints.
I would book this property again in a heartbeat! There are some in our group already planning to do so with their own families. 😊
