Coffee with a View

We really enjoyed our stay at "The Lone Star". The view is great from the balcony where we enjoyed morning coffees. Fishing is a short walk to the rocks and Kemah always has a lot to offer. The communication and responsiveness from the owner was fantastic, and he worked hard to help ensure our stay was worthwhile.

B, Thanks for the review. Greatly appreciated. Couldn't agree more! That TV is too small but, it was free, fit the space allotted for it in the bookcase, so............ When you return, I will have a 43 or 55-inch flat screen in its place. Just for you! MGG
