About this house rental
Located in Kemah, this charming house for $650 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Our waterfront home is only a 2-3 minute walk from the Kemah Boardwalk and the Kemah Lighthouse District, where you'll find shopping, food, fun and entertainment for the whole family. At the house, enjoy the sight and sound of the bay from boats and birds passing by. Get on the water with provided kayaks and explore the coast. Fish from our private 230-ft pier. There's an elevator, EV charger, foosball, ping pong, basketball, outdoor chess/checkers, cornhole and an arcade console with popular 80s classic games. The vacation retreat is situated right on the shoreline. Greeted with a beautiful sunrise each morning, you will be awed at the magnificent panoramic views of the bay from outside as well as inside of the house. There are lounging areas overlooking the gulf. The single and tandem kayaks can be launched from the concrete pad next to the water. Life jackets of different sizes are provided. The heart of the house is its open floor plan that combines the living area with the dining room and kitchen. Rounding out the 2nd floor are bedrooms 1 & 2 and bathrooms 1 & 2. Bedrooms 3, 4 & 5 , bathroom 3 and an additional living room are on the 1st floor. All rooms are within the house under one roof. Pierfect Day at Kemah Bay! Be at ease on our private 230-ft pier with hand railings on all sides. Chill under plenty of shade and cozy string lights which adorn the pier. There are lights for night fishing and cleaning stations with running water and sink on the pier and patio. We have caught red fish, flounder, speckled trout, black/red drum, sheepshead, catfish, alligator gar, crabs, including sharks! If you love to fish, this is the place! All HDTVs are smart, which means you can watch your favorite cable and internet channels by using only the TV remote. You will have access to our ad-free YouTube Premium account and YouTube TV account, which broadcasts live TV from 85+ popular cable channels, on-demand shows, local news and sports. There are other video streaming apps installed on the TV that you can log in with your own account. The Kemah Boardwalk and the Lighthouse District have many events and activities scheduled throughout the year so please check their websites for latest happenings. We have the prime spot to experience the Kemah Boardwalk Fireworks. You can "sea" floating arrays of lights illuminating from numerous boats surrounding the fireworks barge, which is anchored not far from the end of our pier. We're looking forward to hosting your getaway with family and friends at the retreat! Other details to note: IMPORTANT: Only guests in the reservation are allowed on the property. Please review our House Rules section. Our neighbor is building their house so there may be construction noises on weekdays. For bedroom #4, there's a bunk bed with a double at the bottom and twin at the top. There's also a separate trundle bed (twin size) that can be pulled out from the bottom of the bunk bed. The level 2 EV car charger is the Tesla Gen 3 Home Charging Station. Adapter J1772 is needed to connect to non-Tesla EVs. You can check yourself in with the keypad.

This is one of the best house we have stayed at. Very nice, well organized and accessible to Kemah Boardwalk. Pier is great (even though they didn't catch any fish). Would highly recommend this house from large groups and families.

Such a great and clean property. Very well maintained and a great host who will jump to help any time. We needed a fishing net and asked casually within half an hour he brought us one. We loved our stay

My friends and I stayed here for a fantasy football draft and the place exceeded our expectations! The fishing pier was the highlight for us but we also very much enjoyed the games throughout the house, especially the foosball table :) Location can't be beat as well. It's also within 5 minute walk to the boardwalk and all the various bars and restaurants nearby. Hands down the best VRBO stay I've ever had and Le was such an incredible host. Can't recommend this place enough!

This house has everything we needed for a lovely weekend getaway for our family. The location is fantastic! We were both on the water and a short walk from the Kemah boardwalk area.
Communication with owners was clear! The property was neat and clean.
We will happily stay there again in the future!

First off, the house couldn't be in a better location. It's right on the water and steps away from the boardwalk.
Second, the house itself is fantastic. Very clean, spacious, well kept, and the amenities are great.
I really enjoyed this place and would book again.

Location location location! This house is walking distance from everything and we had so much fun. Prefect for our group of 7 adults. It's a lovely, very well appointed, comfortable house with amazing views from both up and downstairs patios. Comfy beds and furniture. Several sitting rooms around the house and outside, with lots of fun games to enjoy. The lights!!! OMG the pier is like a picture when it's all lit up! So picturesque. Had a hard time getting the guys away from the video game machine, but when we finally dragged them away we drove to a lovely, private little beach called El Jardin. We walked everywhere else- the Boardwalk, tons of restaurants, boutiques and bars. Plus the house has really simple and straight forward rules- and everything is labeled and in good condition. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time relaxing at this home. We didnt have time to enjoy all the aspects but we plan to stay again. Walking distance to Kemah was perfect as well as as the resteraunts near by. Highlight was the fishing pier which suprisingly all of our teenage girls enjoyed and hung out their both nights!!

Comfy clean bedding, cold ac through out the home & all the amenities. The family loved the ping pong table & foose ball table. Definitely not a home to pass up

What a wonderful time, home, host and experience! The home is gorgeous, very clean and welcoming. Booking and check-in were easy and we felt at home immediately. This home is set up not only for staying overnight but also having fun with family and friends. We fished, played games, enjoyed quality time and relaxing in the waterfront atmosphere. We also loved the convenience of walking back and forth to the Kemah Boardwalk when we wanted. The host was very kind and helpful and we plan to stay here again!!!!!

We rented for a family weekend with our grown kids and grandchildren. The house was amazing! So clean, well stocked, everything we needed was there! The kitchen was immaculate and so user friendly. The large dining table was great for a big breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There was a great play room for the little ones. The beds were so comfortable. And there was plenty of room to spread out and still feel connected. I would highly recommend this rental!

Be careful. He charges you for anything. Don’t have a single extra guest on property or additional visitors. Read through expectations closely, if you don’t align with any of these, don’t rent the property.

It's no wonder this has perfect 5 stars!!
This is my third stay in the last couple of years and just as on the previous visits, the property was immaculate, well stocked with everything you can possibly think of, and the best view ever!
The upstairs porch is so well thought out with just enough cover so that you don't bake or when it is raining you can still enjoy the lovely view, and design to catch a nice breeze. We got to see some lovely storms roll in from the water which is stunning from the top porch.
This property is perfect for a girls weekend (which is what we used it for) however it is also perfect if you have a large crew and put the kids downstairs and adults in the lovely upstairs bedrooms. Absolutely HUGE dinging table that can easily fit a large crew. They also have plenty of streaming on very nice TVs and TONS, TONS, TONS of games.
I noticed that they also had a kids highchair along with cups and utensils for the smaller ones.
The owner is always available and quick to respond to any questions. And I love the USB plugs in the living room and upstairs masters. Very handy.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Could not be better. Just far enough from the boardwalk that you can't hear the noise, but just close enough that it is a quick walk.

What a great getaway!
Loved the home, the location, the cool breeze and layout of the house. Only missed having a dock/pier, the boys were not happy about that due to their goal of fishing. But again, awesome. We will be staying here again.
