Clifton By The Sea Bungalow-2 Miles from Kemah Boardwalk- Pet Friendly

Monthly Special for May-Sept up to 1366 before taxes which includes electric, water, internet, lawn service, garbage pickup, and nicely furnish. Don't miss out! You get the whole house.

Clifton By The Sea Bungalow is a nice little retreat as opposed to staying in a hotel. The Bungalow is located 2 miles from the Kemah Boardwalk located on Clear lake and Galveston Bay. Tons of marina's and boating in this area. NASA Space Center is 9 miles away and Galveston Island is 30 minutes away which offers historical homes to tour, the beach and water parks as well as Moody Gardens and excellent restaurants.

Pets are welcome but the yard is not fenced in completely. Must pick up poop.

Check out listing # 252341, The Cozy Cottage, 2 doors down from the Clifton By The Sea. This is a 2 bedroom quaint cozy cottage and comfortably sleeps 6! You can rent out both of my properties together for family gatherings!

Bacliff is a sleepy little town of 8,000. It is unincorporated with no deed restrictions or noise ordinances, meaning residents can have farm animals, pop fireworks, ride horses in the street, play music, have camp fires but none of which is allowed in my yard. You will see businesses, older trailers next to small nice homes. The Bungalow is located about 14 blocks to the bay. It is a quaint, older, unconventional community which has a lot of character and charm in the great location of the Kemah/Galveston area.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a private yard, and a coffee maker.

Know what you're getting

I'm not one to leave a negative review but people should know what they're getting. It was not clear when this place was cleaned. There is a musk when you enter. The wood paneling floor was coming up and will scrape your feet as you walk around. There's about half an inch of dust build up on the fans and the couch was covered in a blanket that looked like it had just been slept on.We didn't complain because we just needed a place to sleep and shower. However even that was lacking. A towel hanging in the bathroom was damp and we weren't sure from what. There was no hand soap (had to buy our own) and only half a roll of toilet paper.

Very disappointed

House smelled we had to burn candles to mask the smell. Window and inside air conditioner were very noisy and didn’t cool real good. Bugs in most rooms and got into our food. Bed slept good, bathroom ok, liked having washer dryer. Not stocked very well. TV hard to operate and we had to go buy batteries for remote before we could get it to work. It’s very drab, brown not inviting at all.

We stayed for 9 nights caring for a relative in the area. So nice to have a house instead of a hotel. Comfortable and close enough to visit Galveston.

Cute bungalow

Nice and clean, bed was a little soft at first but got better during the stay. Small shower but it did the job. Well supplied kitchen and the living room was very spaceous.. The outdoor space was good for meals when the weather was nice.. Overall I would come back.

Perfect!!

Although I'm still in the bungalow after a month, I will say it is a great little place. It fills the need for a place to stay, if want to stay out of the hotels. Still have a couple weeks here and would be longer if it wasn't booked up. Sharlene is great and is willing to help you out. She was just a phone call away. If I wasn't buying a house would definitely come back. I will recommend it to others. Thanks for a great stay Sharlene.

overall all, good stay!

The house was absolutely perfect for what we were needing. Three adults and one toddler. The living room was very roomy, even with a full size air mattress on the floor. The amenities were great! There was one problem at the very beginning of the stay that could have made me make a decision to go to a hotel, but once I got Sharlene on the phone she immediately sent a technician out to fix the problem. Great job! The one thing that made me take one star off is the neighbors. EVERY single night until about 230 am, they had their music blaring. Making the walls shake. Now I did not call Sharlene because I felt there was nothing she could do. But other than these few things, it was great! And I'd probably stay again!

Perfect location

We were in town for 2 sailing regattas so the proximity to TCYC was perfect. House was clean and had plenty of space for our needs. It's always great to have a kitchen and laundry facilities when you are away for 10 days! Thanks for sharing your bungalow with us

Great location!

This place is in a great location for any all activities the area has to offer. It also is close to many restaurants and shopping. Everything you need is right down the road. The bungalow is perfect for a quick getaway or weeklong stay. The front yard is fenced in and has ample seating on the porch and patio. There is a 4 seat table with an umbrella that's great for relaxing out and having a cold beer. The bungalow is cozy and comfortable with T.V. and Wifi. There is also washer and dryer, and the kitchen is fully stocked with all appliances. Sharlene is just a phone call away if you need anything, she is good about calling to check on you. The next door neighbors are super friendly as well.

Just like home

My little family of three had such a great weekend here at the bungalow! The house is well kept, clean and felt like home. The bungalow wasn't overly decorated and stayed nice and cool this humid and hot weekend. The house is conveniently located to stores, restaurants and best of all, the Kemah Boardwalk. My 7 year old loved using the automated lock and said the house was cool because it has a bedroom door that leads to a private porch. The furniture including the bed and couches were super comfortable and we were able to use our Playstation on the new TV. Also the TV was perfect size for the living room, so we could enjoy watching the basketball playoff game. To top it off Sharlene was a great owner. As a VRBO/HomeAway employee, Sharlene provided the exact rental and owner experience that I hope to have with each rental. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back.

Wonderful place to stay!

I really found a winner with this property! It had every amenity that I could think of and was charming to boot. The décor is tastefully done providing a cozy and comfortable feel from the moment that I walked in the door. I especially enjoyed the patio. So nice to be able to relax outdoors whether it be in the morning with my coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine. The area is close to a number of places of interest and it was easy to navigate to get where I wanted to go. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a getaway and I will definatly be back!
