This was an incredible stay for a trip of fishing and relaxation! This property was perfectly peaceful!! I read and watched the water while my husband fished, and we could not have picked a better place!! The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular!! The owners were on site and a phone call away if we needed anything, but we did not! Most special part was on Friday night, there were fireworks at the Kemah Boardwalk, and we could see them from the property so easily! We will certainly return, and I’m counting down the days until then!

Stayed here for a family reunion. Our family rented several houses in this area. We had a wonderful time here. It was great coming back to this house at the end of the day, super clean, and a great bed. Having a super comfie bed makes a huge difference! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks to hosts❤️

This is a quaint comfortable cottage. The patio has a nice view as well as the balcony. We had our 5 pound Maltipoo with us and the host allowed us to leave her for a few hours so we could go to the Space Center. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice Weekend Getaway

My fiancé and I wanted a weekend break from wedding planning, and this provided just what we were looking for! Accessible views of the water from the balcony with access to a fishing pier, just a few minutes' drive from the Kemah Boardwalk and relatively easy to find! We would both recommend this for a couple looking for a little escape from it all!

About the host

Hosted by Donald (Don) or Nancy Greenstein

Host profile image
Don and Nancy Greenstein: We are an educated and retired (33 years married) couple that live year round in the main residence on the property. Don is a native Houstonian whose family summer vacationed in the Galveston Bay area since the 1950s, Nancy is a retired business-owner from Ft. Wayne, IN. We have lived in the Galveston Bay area together for many years. The area is private, romantic and relaxed; the climate is semi-tropical with warm bay breezes year round. We enjoy boating, dining, golfing and family activities on the property and on Galveston Bay.

Why they chose this property

Don is a Houston native and has vacationed in the Bacliff/Bayview/Kemah, TX area all his life. I love the area's climate, water entertainment access and relaxed style of living. The seafood dining in the area is unmatched in the state of Texas. The productivity of offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico off the Galveston coast is unmatched in the U.S. The South Texas coast is the premier site saltwater entertainment mecca of the Houston area and South eastern Texas. This property has the best view (270 degree) of the Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel that runs though it. Annually, on Fridays in the months of June and July there are waterfront hour-long fireworks displays that are visible from our waterfront decks. The wildlife (sea gulls, pelicans, porpoises) behavior displays from our decks are phenomenal.

What makes this property unique

There are only a few waterfront locations to stay on Galveston bay: ours is one of the most popular in the area. It is competitively priced and combines privacy, seclusion and cozy accommodation for a weekend get-away for busy working couples, honey-moon and anniversary couples either for short or extended stays. The panoramic views of Galveston Bay are exclusive to this property. We have operated this vacation rental for ten of the fifteen years we have lived here to rave (mostly five-star) reviews from locals and out-of-town travelers alike.
