This was our second stay at this property and I can't recommend it enough! The location is fantastic! It's an easy walk to the Kemah Boardwalk and has an amazing view of Galveston Bay.The house itself is very clean, well appointed and well laid out. The kids enjoyed the ping pong and fooseball table, as well as the old school arcade console and giant connect four. We loved the pier and sunset views as well!The owners were very communicative and easy to work with and the rules and procedures were reasonable and easy to handle!We definitely plan on staying again sometime.

Owner communicated clearly and fast. Entry to property was effortless. Beautiful property! Very well stocked. Lots of games, ping pong, foosball, kayaks. 3 houses down from Kemah Boardwalk and a block away from Kemah bars and restaurants. Lighted pier for fishing or just relaxing. We had a great stay and I would highly recommend.
