About this property

The Starry Starboard - A floating tribute to Vincent Van Gogh

Step aboard the Starry Starboard, a one-of-a-kind floating getaway inspired by the artistry and imagination of Vincent van Gogh. Docked in the charming waterfront of Seabrook across the bridge from the Kemah Boardwalk , this cozy retreat blends comfort, creativity, and marina tranquility into an unforgettable stay.

Inside, guests will find two inviting twin cabins, a comfortable futon lounge area, air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort, and all the essentials for a relaxing escape on the water. Whether you're sipping coffee on deck as the sun rises, enjoying the glow of the harbor lights at night, or simply unwinding in the calm coastal atmosphere, Starry Starboard offers a peaceful experience unlike a traditional hotel or rental.

Perfect for couples, friends, artists, dreamers, and adventurers alike, this floating retreat captures the magic of life on the water with a touch of Van Gogh-inspired charm.
