Comfortable with lots to do for the whole family

We recently stayed at this gem for a family weekend. It was well appointed and comfortable, with everything we needed in the kitchen, baths, and bedrooms. The pool and game room were the hit of the weekend. The pool was meticulously clean and the game room had just enough shade and fans to be cool on a hot weekend. The open concept kitchen/dining/living room was a perfect spot for everyone to gather. We loved it! Jake and Ashley were responsive to my questions as we got settled into the house. Everything was even better than the pictures on the site.

Perfect Holiday Getaway

We were looking for a place large enough to keep our family entertained while meeting up with old acquaintances and family in the Houston area. The Galveston Bay retreat offered just that. While our stay was to chilly to utilize the pool, the young adults had plenty to do in the added game room. The kitchen was large enough to create a small Thanksgiving feast, and the house was plenty big enough to lounge about the rest of the day. Location was close to Kemah Boardwalk, grocery stores, and other necessities. Upon arrival we found some bonus snacks and drinks to make us feel welcome. Check in was easy, and we were even offered an early check in! The property was clean, secured, and well maintained for the area. You can tell the owners care. We make it back to the Houston area about every 10 years, so hopefully this gem is still around. We would book again.

The perfect getaway from the city. The outdoor area including the pool, palapa and shaded seating were so amazing. And the facilities inside were clean and comfortable...especially the gourmet kitchen. I highly recommend this property.

Enjoyed our stay

We were looking for a place that had everything we needed without having to leave, and this house accomplished that. We spent most of our days in the pool/outdoor area, the kids loved the pool table and gaming table in the palapa. It's a neat house with lots of room and we were very happy with our time.

Great house!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The neighborhood isn't the greatest but it was perfect for what we needed. The house was spacious and we enjoyed spending our days in the pool. It was a short drive to Kemah and Galveston.
