Hi, thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing your lovely photos! We’re so happy to hear your daughter’s Sweet 16 tea party was special—it truly means a lot to us to be part of such a memorable celebration.
Thank you again for booking with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon! 💕
I'm already planning our next stay here. The fishing was great after the rain moved out. We parked and could walk to a multiple of places. Great place, great location, great fishing and just a great place to stay. Oh, the host were great too. Thanks for sharing your home.
What an amazing stay we had at Hailey's place. It was exactly as pictured online and was the perfect getaway for a few days. It made me start looking at getting a house in the area, the view was so serene. Hailey was an incredible host with quick and professional conmunication.
Our host was excellent and so quick to respond. We love this house and willl be back for years to come. Thank you for everything you did for our family during our stay! 10/10!!!!
This was a great place to host family from out of town. Just steps away from the Kemah Boardwalk, with lots to do and see and great places to eat. We will stay again.
Ideal house for a fun weekend getaway with the family! There’s a reason it was our 4th year in a row booking. Prime location to the boardwalk, well lit and sturdy dock to fish, and the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need! Looking forward to our next stay!
Our 2-night stay was wonderful! The house was comfortable and very clean. The location was peaceful, and the host was kind and helpful. We would love to come back again.
The home was beautiful. It has everything you need for a great stay. It has every kitchen gadget to toys for the kids. The location is within walking distance to everything. Our favorite part was the pier.
We enjoyed our time in this property. The views out the patio and down the dock are amazing! We also enjoyed the proximity to nearby restaurants and were able to just walk to a very tasty restaurant nearby one night. We also enjoyed the nearness to Houston Space Center.Small cons:- We had trouble finding a carafe that fit the pot coffeemaker. We had spilled water before figuring out a method to make it work, but very manual. There was a single cup machine that probably most people use, so there was an alternative.- The pool table has warping in the center so that balls end up slowly rolling that way. We were relying on the playroom features of the house (and had picked this rental over other specifically for the pool table) for our teenage boys, so this was a little disappointing. They did end up playing a bit on the ping-pong table and foosball table instead. - FYI, there is no door between the master bathroom and bedroom, although the toilet is behind a door- FYI for anybody with scent allergies, there were 4-5 scent plugins throughout the house. We unplugged them. The towels were washed with scented detergent.Pros: - The kitchen and refrigerator were plenty roomy for making our meals- Eating table has a fantastic view- Bathrooms were very nice- Game room was handy for teenagers- Monitoring crab cages was fun, and releasing the crabs was fun too- Good air conditioning for the heat and humidity- Although in an area with lots of restaurants, felt very secluded
Fishing was great. We caught about 35 specs and other misc fish. The restaurants and bars were within walking distance, along with the Kemah Boardwalk. Our host, Hailey, was very attentive and answered questions immediately. Perfect trip overall.We will be back next year!
My family ranging from 4 months to 75 years had a fantastic time! The accommodations were perfect, not only was it in walking distance to the Kemah Boardwalk the rental had a variety of entertainment options for all ages. Toys for toddlers, game room for teenagers and young adults and the fishing dock was enjoyed by all! Would definitely rent again!
Fun for the whole family! Relaxing, everything you need and plenty of space. Owner is great to work with.

About the host
Hosted by Hailey
As avid travelers, we value hospitality and know what makes a short-term rental work. Blue Bay has recently undergone a complete renovation and we have it comfortably stocked. There is water and soda in the refrigerator, coffee to be brewed, and snacks in the kitchen to hold you off until your next meal. You’ll also find dishwashing tablets underneath the kitchen sink and the usual in-bathroom toiletries that you might have forgotten. It is our greatest hope that our home brings you many cherished times and that we have thought of much to make your stay an enjoyable one.
Why they chose this property
We have called Clear Lake, Texas, home for thirty years; our Blue Bay Home, located in the heart of Kemah Boardwalk, has been the perfect place to unwind. It’s a place where we gather with friends and family, play, fish, boat, and take in Texas Rayleigh Blue skies, porch side, over the coastal breezes of Galveston Bay; it is our pleasure to share it with you and yours.
