We highly recommend staying here. We had an intimate wedding over the weekend and had friends and family stay on property. The home was perfect! It was everything we wanted and more. It’s close to all the boardwalk and we were able to enjoy the bars and come back to the house and enjoy the game room. All of our friends and family enjoyed the views and would love to come back and visit.

Hailey was very accessible and a great communicator. The magnificent views of Galveston Bay were even more picturesque than the Vrbo photos. Everything about the house was wonderful. We loved our visit September 24-27, 2026 and look forward to coming back in the near future. Thank you Hailey!

We had an amazing weekend at the Blue Bay Retreat. Plenty of space for our group of 16 people spread across 3 floors with ages ranging from 77 to 21. Beautiful views. Plenty of things to do and within minutes of the Kemah Boardwalk, restaurants and bars. Fishing was great for outdoor enthusiasts with a long, lighted fishing pier. Our host, Hailey was excellent, with quick responses and follow up to make sure we had an amazing stay. The home had multiple TV's for entertainment, comfortable bedrooms, and spacious indoor and outdoor spaces. The bottom floor game room with pool and ping pong tables was a huge hit. Our families had a blast. Great memories watching my parents, aunts and uncles and siblings laughing like kids. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are already planning another trip next year! Thank you for sharing your slice of vacation paradise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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.

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!
