About this property

The Kemah house is on the Bay side of 146, ½ mile up Kipp Ave to the Boardwalk

The Kemah house is not on the water but you can see the water when your relaxing on the deck. Walk across the street to the Bel Road Park and see a full view of the Galveston Bay and the Lights from Downtown Kemah. We are on the water side of 146 that means easy access to the Kemah Boardwalk Restaurant’s, Entertainment and Night Life. All the fun is up Kipp Ave ½ mile away. You are just far enough away that you can't hear the roller-coaster noise coming from the Kemah Boardwalk.
The house is fully furnished with everything you need for a week-end get away including Internet/ WIFI. The garage is very spacious and a Large driveway for your Boat or Motor home. No Saturday or holiday check in or check out.

Great stay in Kemah during the Winter

We enjoyed our trip to Kemah and Annette's home was the perfect getaway to stay and in a quiet area of the boardwalk area. We walked to bars and restaurants as the weather was perfect and places easy to get to.Marina's are also close to the home and, having the golf cart to cruise around town was fantastic during the day. We will definitely come back in the future.

Clean, safe place to stay

This house is lovely, very neat and clean. The only negative is that the beds are small and uncomfortable. However, for 2 nights we managed. Communucation with the owner was easy and fast. The neighborhood feels safe, the house is comfortable and showcases the owners artwork.wclean

Perfect

Second time staying in the past five months. We traveled from Kentucky to visit family in League City. This is an excellent place to stay. Home is exactly as pictured and neighborhood is quiet and close to everything we needed. Annette is wonderful to talk to and while we had NO issues, she checked in with us to ensure all was good. You can’t go wrong with this property…thank you Annette👍

Perfect family getaway!

Family of 5 lots of space so we weren’t on top of each other. House was great the neighborhood was even better. The small park that led to the waterfront was great for morning sunrises and coffee drinking. Nice park in the area within walking distance for kids. Annette was a great host. Lots of little touches that made our stay even better. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Pleasant Home By the Beach

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is just minutes to the Kemah Boardwalk and other local attractions. The home is maintained very well, and we found it to be spacious and comfortable. Our host, Annette, was very nice and accommodating. The area and surroundings were very pleasant and beautiful. It was great to be able to stare at parts of the ocean from the home's porch and living room. We enjoyed our time so much, that we wish to stay at this property again in the future.

Beautiful property, Wonderful Host

very accommodating for our dogs, who were fenced in the backyard and on the front patio. view of the bay. short distance to Kemah Boardwalk. Nice and safe neighborhood. Everything worked in the house. The owner / host took the time to write down all relevant info. Would definitely go back (and i live in Spring, TX). Loved it

Awesome place to stay!

Very relaxing, convenient and clean house! Convenient to boardwalk, etc but very quiet unlike homes closer to boardwalk. The back porch has a nice breeze and partial view of Bay. Had most everything we needed inside, the only upgrade I would recommend is the beds. Instead of twins, kings/queens/doubles would be more comfortable. Thanks for letting us stay! We will definitely be back!

Perfect location, lots of perks

This beach house was nestled in such a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and was ideal for my husband, me and our three teenagers. A view of the water made it so relaxing and the natural light that flooded the house was perfect! Our girls enjoyed the quick golf cart ride to the boardwalk each night. Having a golf cart at your disposal was definitely a perk we were delighted with, along with unexpected treats, drinks and wine in the refrigerator for us! House was spotless, check in and clean up was the easiest I have ever had with a VRBO rental, and Annette was available immediately for anything we needed. Price was definitely lower than I would have expected for such a location, too. Only a 15 minute drive to NASA, plenty of shopping, and plenty of great restaurants nearby. Would definitely choose this spot again! VRBO rental

We loved our stay.

We loved Annette. She was so kind and helpful. The house was very cozy and had everything that one would want to be comfortable. The house was in a very nice neighborhood and it was patrolled regularly by police who had their station not too far away. It is a concern where one will be when renting and the g rounds around the property were clean manicured and well taken care of. We will consider this place again and tell friends. Thank you, Annette

Great stay in Kemah!!

This house is fantastic, as is the owner. The views of the bay and awesome porches allow for peaceful and restful times. This house is so comfortable and clean, with excellent natural light throughout the home. Our pup loved every moment, both inside and outside the home. She truly loved the 2nd floor patios. This location is great, and we were able to navigate around the Hwy 146 construction without delays. Great communication with owner. We can’t say enough good things; we will be back!! Thank you, Annette, for all.

Great get away

We weren't looking for a place on the beach, just a place convenient to other locations. This house is ideal. It has been renovated recently, and the fenced backyard was ideal for our dog. Neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood felt very safe. Every day we walked to the Boardwalk for coffee. It's only a mile away. At the time we went, construction on the highway entering and leaving town was a challenge to navigate. Once it's done, access will be easy and efficient. We loved talking with the owner and would gladly come here again.

Wonderful month at the Kemah house!

Husband and I spent the month of Feb in Kemah to be close to family who live in League City. We brought our dog as well and the fenced in yard and walkability of the area were huge advantages. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and peeks of Galveston Bay are possible from the front deck. Annette the owner is so very kind and excellent with communication and response times. She provided coffee, tea, and many other items for the stay. The home was clean and neat; the only thing we noticed was that the floors could probably use a deep steam clean. We also would have preferred a queen/king bed for the main sleeping area but definitely had no problem sleeping. We also missed not having an outdoor grill but Annette explained her concerns regarding this. We will definitely stay here again when we return for our next extended stay. Just close enough to the Boardwalk. Highly recommend.

Check in was very simple. Annette knew we would be arriving after dark so she was so thoughtful to leave outside lights on for us as well and inside lights too. Annette was very quick to answer answer that I had. The house was very clean as others had stated. The neighborhood was very quiet and the neighbors we all so friendly. The only thing I could suggest is to put a queen bed in the master bedroom so my husband and myself could have slept together. My husband slept in the twin bed in the master bedroom and I slept in the full size bed with our dog in another bedroom. The house is so quiet and I slept so good every night . Well, most likely stay here again when we're in the area.

Lovely house near the bay (across the street) in a quiet residential neighborhood. Quiet neighbors and low traffic road made for a pleasant time on the porch and nice walks in the morning. We were here for the week while our teens went to a NASA camp and it was perfect (just 15 min away.) The boardwalk is close (1 mile) if that is your thing. Be sure to check the bed configuration to make sure that it works for your group ; it was more than enough room for us and we would return in a heartbeat! The owner checked in on us and was great! *tip: Try the Pier 6 restaurant in San Leon (about 15 min away)—great views/food.

Fun!

The house was perfect for our stay, the only thing i would suggest is to add a queen size bed to the master for adult couples. We ended up pushing the two twins together. The golf cart was an added bonus, we used it to go to the boardwalk for dinner and fun almost every night. Annette was inviting and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Would highly recommend.

We also spotted our new little friend (picture added).
