About this property

Kemah Cottages on Walsh-Tiny Dream Cottage

Kemah Cottages on Walsh, Tiny Dream Cottage and its sister, Hospitality House, are located in unincorporated area called Bayview, just 3 miles south of the Kemah Boardwalk, and 3 blocks from Galveston Bay. It is about 30 minutes from the beaches at Galveston, but not near a beach itself. Like its postal neighbor, Bacliff, the area contains a diversity of homes and inhabitants, and the area is not upscale like League City. Within blocks you will find expensive bayside homes, but next door is a small trailer park with new renters who are very quiet. Don't be surprised by the new rooster voicing his presence off and on through the day as there is no restriction on it in this area.
Although one guest gave us a horrible review, we have taken steps to correct her complaints except for not adding a washer/dryer which she mistook originally that it had when she booked looking for a cheap price.
The home has an interior lock, walk path night lights, side house and porch lights for night security. It is located behind our other house, making it more secure from street traffic. We are booked solidly on a competing website if you need current reviews.

Please look at the photos and be clear that this is a true “tiny house” experience and will meet your expectations. We are very excited offer a full queen sized mattress on a Murphy Bed that folds down over the sofa after the cushions are stored! No more achy sofa bed! It does not have a dishwasher or washing machine. Often guests choose our low price when they want a hotel or larger house experience, then seem disappointed, which we truly do not want to have happen!
It is our vision of an upscale, contained living quarters suited for shorter stays. It is supplied with everything we'd like to have if we were there for a few days.
The drive is accessed from the side of Hospitality House, and has enough room to park a boat and/or two vehicles.

With Xfinity television and wireless internet, you just have to add your firestick to bring your favorites along. We think you'll enjoy the bay breezes , birds, fresh air and charcoal bar-b-que grill when on the deck, so don't spend too much time inside! NOTE: There is no smoking inside or in the doorway which may blow back into the house or a $300 cleaning fee will be assessed.

It was perfect for me
It was perfect for me, nice and quiet, really enjoyed my stay! Property owner we awesome and helped out when the temperature dropped below freezing switch is a big deal for this area! House was nice and clean and very comfortable to stay in! It’s the perfect tiny house. The only issue I had was finding the house at first because the gps takes you to the wrong house but homeowners directions help me find it. Should have read it first lol

cozy and peaceful
It was the perfect place. It had everything I needed for an extended stay off, the beaten track, a wonderful place to just relax in the evenings, which was what I was looking for. I am looking forward to coming back again.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Stice Heausler

Host profile image
Linda is a retired teacher and Greg is a retired chemical engineer. They found each other at a great time in their lives, and have been traveling, and working on personal projects since. They love hosting their friends with several parties a year, so hosting a VRBO is great way to share their love of giving to others.

Why they chose this property

Linda's passion is renovation, and particularly taking older homes and making them alive again. Greg recognized this talent of hers, and when she sold her renovated ranch house, encouraged her to find another project. Hospitality House at the front of the property, was just that, and has been opened this year to great acceptance.. The second, empty building which was originally an outdoor kitchen, gave her the DREAM of a tiny house. Now, the empty shell has become an amazing reality with a real bed in it.

What makes this property unique

Tiny Dream is definitely a 1-2 person experience. Although it may be smaller than some hotel rooms, it contains almost all the amenities. A queen sized horizontal Murphy bed opens into ample space to move around at night, and the sofa gives plenty of space during the day. The little kitchen is perfect for weekenders who don't need an oven, or dishwasher. There is no ice maker in the small freezer/fridge.
There is not a laundry machine , but there are several laundromats within a mile of the cottage.
What is truly unique about this cottage is the privacy. Sitting on the deck with a coffee or glass of wine, and feeling the bay breeze that's almost always there, it's easy to relax. Even the other houses around seem to fade away . Inside, it's rare to hear any noises.
If you're looking for "tiny house" experience that has a first class atmosphere, book us..
