About the host

Hosted by Hailey

Host profile image
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.
