About this property
This location has it all for country comfort near the bay and beach!
Kemah Cottages on Walsh, Hospitality House and Tiny Dream Cottage, are located in unincorporated area called Bayview, just 3 miles south of the Kemah Boardwalk, and 3 blocks from Galveston Bay. Like its postal neighbor, Bacliff, the area contains a diversity of homes and inhabitants. It might not be unusual to hear the neighbor's rooster crow midday, or hear a ball game or music wafting through the air on a Sunday afternoon. It's country style by the Bay.We believe you shouldn't have to bring the little things you need for daily life, so expect the salt and pepper, coffee and tea fixings, and the bath amenities you expect from a hotel. We have spare beach towels and starter sun tan lotion in case you forget yours. There will be a variety of bed pillows to choose from because everyone's neck is different. Throw your wet towels in the laundry bin as you leave, and we'll clean them up!
Oh, and the cable television and wireless internet are ready.
For those with children, we can provide one convertible baby/toddler bed upon request for a $10 a stay charge. And, bedding for the sofa is available if you've booked for it.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Linda Stice Heausler

Linda is a retired teacher and Greg is a retired chemical engineer. They found each other at a great time in their lives, and have been traveling, and working on personal projects since. They love hosting their friends with several parties a year, so hosting a VRBO is great way to share their love of giving to others.
Why they chose this property
Linda's passion is renovation, and particularly taking older homes and making them alive again. Greg recognized this talent of hers, and when she sold her renovated ranch house, encouraged her to find another project. Hospitality House was just that, a project. Lots of cleaning up, repainting, and love later, we hosted a Hurricane Harvey family for the last year until they moved. Now it's open to you. Having a second empty building gave her the dream of a tiny house. It will be ready to share by May 1st. The Tiny Dream come true.
What makes this property unique
Hospitality House has always felt cozy and inviting. Changing the color scheme to the blues and yellows made it moreso. The screen porch in the rear gives that outdoor extension without the bugs. Adding the charcoal BBQ grill will let the true griller in a family take the heat outdoors. Rearranging the fences it had has made the whole property separated, yet will allow those who need more rooms to rent both cottages and be close to each other. Hospitality House is set for 4, but can be arranged to add 2 more comfortably. Also, a convertible baby/toddler bed can be brought to the house for longer term rentals with prior notice.and a small fee..
Tiny Dream is definitely a 1-2 person experience. A sleeper sofa opens into just enough space to pass around at night, but plenty of space during the day. Full kitchen (except dishwasher or laundry) and shower bath make a great experience. It is now available on it's own listing.
