About this property
Kemah Bay Retreat: Steps to Kemah Boardwalk, Bayfront, 216-ft Pier, Elevator, EV
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 216-ft pier. There's an elevator, EV charger, foosball, ping pong, basketball, arcade, outdoor chess/checkers, and cornhole game.
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 on the covered balcony 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 and accessible with inside stairs and elevator. Park on our nestled driveway away from the street.
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!

We have the prime up-close spot to experience the Kemah Boardwalk Fireworks on certain holidays and every Friday from June to July.

I would give 6 stars!. Home was very clean. Has 3 huge primary suits for adults and 2 cool bunk rooms for kids. Fits 2 or 3 families comfortably. Has a ln outdoor gameroom and a huge 2nd floor balcony w amazing views of the bay. Great fishing dock where we caught crabs on the 5 supplied traps and fish off the well lot pier. Also the main kitchen and living room is very spacious. Also has a huge driveway and plenty of parking and still room for basketball on driveway w the basketball goal. Too many amenities to list. House is better than pictured which is hard to believe. You will not regret booking this place! And oy a 1 minute walk to the boardwalk!
The house was sooo well suited for our group with everyone having their own area and bathrooms. It was perfectly clean, the dock was amazing and we will be back for sure!!!
The place was beautiful! We celebrated Thanksgivings weekend at this lovely home. Everything we needed to cook our holiday meal was easily accessible in the lovely open concept kitchen. The location was very convenient and located within walking distance to a variety of restaurants and shops. We can’t wait to go back!
The house was in a great location and house was perfect for our group of 10. Very clean and lots of things to do at the house. We enjoyed everything about the house and location.
This is a beautiful home conveniently located next to the boardwalk. Wr are a large family with 6 kids from 9-17. Everyone has ample space to enjoy whichever activity they liked. We spent a lot of time on the covered pier. If you enjoy fishing it’s a great space. We have stayed here twice now and plan to come back again next year!
We’ve stayed here twice now and the location is superior. It’s literally steps from the boardwalk and all the shopping/bars. Not only is the location amazing, the house itself it’s super clean, beds are great, and plenty of amenities! Le was super responsive and helpful!
The property was very clean and well kept. We had front row seats to some pretty spectacular fireworks. We will definitely return for another fun getaway.
My family and I had a wonderful time. The fishing and crabbing was great. The house was clean and provided us with everything we needed. We will be returning.
House was amazing and large enough for our family of 8. The kids spent a lot of time in the covered patio playing foosball and ping pong. Being walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants is a HUGE plus. We plan on making this our yearly summer escape. Cannot say enough good things about this place
Clean, beautiful home with bay access and in easy walking distance to the boardwalk, restaurants, and bars. Plenty of games and activities provided at home to host guests of all ages. We had a wonderful trip!
This is a great property in a wonderful location next to the boardwalk. Everything was as promised. Incredibly maintained and clean house. Comfy beds. Great for family and friends. Can't wait to come back!
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.
The property was absolutely perfect! Amazing views & location. The host was so kind, gracious and considerate. The house was well stocked with everything you could need. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment we were at this amazing property.It is a two minute walk to anything you could want, restaurant, shopping, nightlife,coffee,arcade, amusement park ,it was so clean and spacious and had more than most vrbos we have previously stayed at.The amenities are endless,we had such a fun adventure.We are hoping to come back to this very peaceful, amazing fun home 💗 park
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
I visit Kemah quite often and this is my second time staying here and we really enjoy it. The location is perfect. We walked to the Boardwalk everyday with the kids.The house is clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed playing ping pong in the evenings & My son and grandson enjoyed fishing and actually caught some crabs and a couple of small catfish. One of my favorite restaurants is around the corner T Bone Tom’s. But there are many to choose from if you don’t feel like cooking.I’m already thinking about my next stay.Thanks Le for sharing your home with our family!
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!
