Our waterfront home is only a 2-3 minute walk from the Kemah Boardwalk and the Kemah Lighthouse District, where you'll find shopping, food, fun and entertainment for the whole family.

There's an elevator, EV charger, foosball, ping pong, basketball, arcade, outdoor chess/checkers, and cornhole game.
The vacation retreat is situated right on the shoreline. Greeted with a beautiful sunrise each morning, you will be awed at the magnificent panoramic views of the bay from outside as well as inside of the house. There are lounging areas on the covered balcony overlooking the gulf. The single and tandem kayaks can be launched from the concrete pad next to the water. Life jackets of different sizes are provided.
The heart of the house is its open floor plan that combines the living area with the dining room and kitchen. Rounding out the 2nd floor are bedrooms 1 & 2 and bathrooms 1 & 2. Bedrooms 3, 4 & 5 , bathroom 3 and an additional living room are on the 1st floor. All rooms are within the house under one roof and accessible with inside stairs and elevator.

Pierfect Day at Kemah Bay! Be at ease on our private 230-ft pier with hand railings on all sides. Chill under plenty of shade and cozy string lights which adorn the pier. There are lights for night fishing and cleaning stations with running water and sink on the pier and patio. We have caught red fish, flounder, speckled trout, black/red drum, sheepshead, catfish, alligator gar, crabs, including sharks! If you love to fish, this is the place!

Owner communicated clearly and fast. Entry to property was effortless. Beautiful property! Very well stocked. Lots of games, ping pong, foosball, kayaks. 3 houses down from Kemah Boardwalk and a block away from Kemah bars and restaurants. Lighted pier for fishing or just relaxing. We had a great stay and I would highly recommend.

Thanks for staying with us and we're looking forward to your return!
I would give 6 stars!. Home was very clean. Has 3 huge primary suits for adults and 2 cool bunk rooms for kids. Fits 2 or 3 families comfortably. Has a ln outdoor gameroom and a huge 2nd floor balcony w amazing views of the bay. Great fishing dock where we caught crabs on the 5 supplied traps and fish off the well lot pier. Also the main kitchen and living room is very spacious. Also has a huge driveway and plenty of parking and still room for basketball on driveway w the basketball goal. Too many amenities to list. House is better than pictured which is hard to believe. You will not regret booking this place! And oy a 1 minute walk to the boardwalk!
