My family really enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable with lots of fun things to do at the house. We also enjoyed the location and fishing off the pier. I would recommend staying here to anyone.
Great place for a stay that is walking distance to the Kemah Boardwalk. House was clean and cool. Great views of the bay. Overall excellent experience. If there was one thing to improve on it would be the privacy of the backyard as people kept coming into/near the backyard because the view from there is just that amazing.
We had a blast enjoyed stay close to everything. Enjoyed the dock. Definitely we will return

Marcus, Thank you for the kind words. Looking forward to seeing you on your next vacation.
We enjoyed our stay at Seaside Retreat. The outdoor spaces are the star of the show. Great proximity to the Boardwalk. Our party took full advantage of the fishing pier and patios. Tim was a great host

We had a great stay for the second time at this Kemah property. Tim is a great host & offers a beautiful home super close to the Kemah Boardwalk. The family enjoyed the fishing pier, exploring the Boardwalk & relaxing. We made lots of great memories & hope to stay again soon!
We had an amazing time with our family celebrating our son’s 11th birthday ! The house was everything it promised and our host was very responsive ! Thanks Tim for opening your home for us to enjoy and make memories !
This place is in a great location! You can walk to a lot of restaurants and bars and the boardwalk is right next door. There is plenty of separate spaces so you’re not on top of each other unless you want to be. We came with 10 adults and a dog and it was great! We all liked hanging out at the tiki bar. The fishing pier being attached to the property was fun too! We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Weekend
We had an excellent time and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the house! Everything was clean and well maintained! Mr. Tran extended our check out so we could enjoy most of the day Sunday as well. Although the weather wasn't the greatest we could not have asked for a better location and house!

So glad to know you have a wonderful time at our home. As long as we do not have back-to-back bookings, we are flexible with our check in and check out times. We always want to accommodate your needs any way we can, because we want you to be happy and come back and staying with us again.
We do a family gathering in December with children and grandchildren. This is our 5th year. We do an informal vote on at the end to see how the current stay compares to previous ones. This one was the favorite. The house was exactly as advertised and everyone loved it.
This is our fourth time to stay at the seaside retreat. We love it. The location is perfect being next to the Kemah Boardwalk and several restaurants. Great house for couples with the in-suite bathrooms.
Love the back covered patio. It’s a nice spot on a warm day due to the shade and gulf breeze. We will stay there again! Thanks Tim for being a great Host!
The location is amazing, everything was clean, communication was great. Great. The dock is fantastic. I would probably caution bringing small children to this property. It's not very childproof at all. A lot of the different rooms are not co-located with each other. Which is fine for adults. Definitely a good time party pad!
The home was beautifully decorated for us for Christmas and the morning sunrises were nice once the winter fog lifted. The owner keeps the home well stocked with necessities in case you forget something. Lots to do nearby in walking distance. Or simply visit with family on the large deck. We would definitely recommend a stay here. 🙂 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Plenty of room for our family gathering. The Boardwalk is literally on the same block and there was something for everyone to enjoy. We took an entire day at the beach. We drove out to catch the free ferry to enjoy the gulf side but opted not to ferry back (long wait to board).
Over all the home was clean and comfortable.

My wife and I own a restaurant in nearby Clear Lake and we have purchased another home closer to work. We have enjoyed this home for the past six years and we recently remodeled it. We wanted to share the beautiful sunrises and gorgeous views with others.
