About this property

Blue Bay Waterfront Retreat – 230 ft Private Pier + Steps to Kemah Boardwalk!

  • Welcome to *Blue Bay*, your private waterfront escape in the heart of the iconic Kemah Boardwalk and Lighthouse District—where coastal charm meets unforgettable experiences. This beautifully renovated, pet-free and smoke-free home is designed for families and groups looking to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the best of bayfront living. With sweeping views of Galveston Bay, four private balconies, and space for 15–16 guests, every moment here feels like a getaway. Start your mornings with coffee and breathtaking sunrises over the water, spend your days exploring nearby restaurants, rides, and shops, and end your evenings with cool coastal breezes and peaceful bay views. Inside, the home offers three spacious levels of comfort and entertainment—from the lively ground-floor game room featuring pool, ping pong, foosball, and a media area, to the bright open-concept second floor with a fully equipped kitchen, dining space, and cozy living room perfect for gathering and movie nights. Upstairs, the third floor provides a serene retreat with a luxurious primary suite, additional 2 bedrooms, Smart TVs in every room, and private balcony access for soaking in the views any time of day. Step outside and the experience only gets better—a private 230-foot pier invites you to fish, crab, or simply unwind over the water as boats drift by and stars fill the sky. At *Blue Bay*, you’re not just booking a stay—you’re creating lasting memories filled with laughter, relaxation, and the calming rhythm of the bay.
