About this property

Entire place

The Kemah house is on the Bay side of 146, ½ mile up Kipp Ave to the Boardwalk

The Kemah house is not on the water but you can see the water when your relaxing on the deck. Walk across the street to the Bel Road Park and see a full view of the Galveston Bay and the Lights from Downtown Kemah. We are on the water side of 146 that means easy access to the Kemah Boardwalk Restaurant’s, Entertainment and Night Life. All the fun is up Kipp Ave ½ mile away. You are just far enough away that you can't hear the roller-coaster noise coming from the Kemah Boardwalk.
The house is fully furnished with everything you need for a week-end get away including Internet/ WIFI. The garage is very spacious and a Large driveway for your Boat or Motor home. No Saturday or holiday check in or check out.

Made a last minute trip to the area from KY to visit family. Everything about the house and location was exactly what we wanted. Home was as described and located in a quiet and easy to navigate area. Annette was easy to reach if needed but we never encountered any issues. Would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home
The Kemah house was everything we hoped it would be and more. I was receiving daily treatments at MD Anderson in League City and the peace and calm of this neighborhood afforded me time to relax. It was also large enough to accommodate family that traveled in to stay with us. Annette is a wonderful host and took care of an A/C problem right away!! We will definitely recommend this place to friends and family☺️

Wonderful month at the Kemah house!
Husband and I spent the month of Feb in Kemah to be close to family who live in League City. We brought our dog as well and the fenced in yard and walkability of the area were huge advantages. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and peeks of Galveston Bay are possible from the front deck. Annette the owner is so very kind and excellent with communication and response times. She provided coffee, tea, and many other items for the stay. The home was clean and neat; the only thing we noticed was that the floors could probably use a deep steam clean. We also would have preferred a queen/king bed for the main sleeping area but definitely had no problem sleeping. We also missed not having an outdoor grill but Annette explained her concerns regarding this. We will definitely stay here again when we return for our next extended stay. Just close enough to the Boardwalk. Highly recommend.

Me and my friend came to visit our buddy in residency and this house was great. It’s right down the street from the beach, good food and rides. The property owner has the fridge set up with some snacks and drinks. House is very clean and organized. She was very responsive via text and made the stay and departure easy. We would stay here again!!

Pleasant Home By the Beach
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is just minutes to the Kemah Boardwalk and other local attractions. The home is maintained very well, and we found it to be spacious and comfortable. Our host, Annette, was very nice and accommodating. The area and surroundings were very pleasant and beautiful. It was great to be able to stare at parts of the ocean from the home's porch and living room. We enjoyed our time so much, that we wish to stay at this property again in the future.

Great get away
We weren't looking for a place on the beach, just a place convenient to other locations. This house is ideal. It has been renovated recently, and the fenced backyard was ideal for our dog. Neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood felt very safe. Every day we walked to the Boardwalk for coffee. It's only a mile away. At the time we went, construction on the highway entering and leaving town was a challenge to navigate. Once it's done, access will be easy and efficient. We loved talking with the owner and would gladly come here again.

Perfect weekend getaway!
Two of my friends and I returned to the Clear Lake area for our 50th high school reunion and did not want to stay in a hotel. This home on the bay was the perfect solution because it was large enough, was situated between the weekend reunion events, was located in a quiet neighborhood, and the price was very reasonable. The owner/manager was extremely communicative and accommodating, reaching out several times to provide us with information, including a critical road closure and how to navigate the detours. Our only regret was that we were so busy that we only had a few brief periods of time to enjoy the front porch and dining area. Wish we had been able to stay at least one more night!

Great stay in Kemah!!
This house is fantastic, as is the owner. The views of the bay and awesome porches allow for peaceful and restful times. This house is so comfortable and clean, with excellent natural light throughout the home. Our pup loved every moment, both inside and outside the home. She truly loved the 2nd floor patios. This location is great, and we were able to navigate around the Hwy 146 construction without delays. Great communication with owner. We can’t say enough good things; we will be back!! Thank you, Annette, for all.

This house is so beautiful. It is close to Kemah Boardwalk. There’s also a little pathway to a small overlook where you can see sailboats. The neighborhood is so quiet. The house itself was so clean and the family thought it was a great place to stay. We will surely come back again to this house when we are in Kemah. The owner is wonderful..thank you for a memorable mini family vacation.
