Oceanfront Retreat -Steps from Kemah Boardwalk! Last Minute Deals 832 628 7869!

This beautiful and newly renovated home, located in the heart of the famed Kemah Boardwalk and Lighthouse District, is the perfect vacation destination. It is a place for familial and friendly gatherings, a place to fish, play, and boat. The hardest decision you will make is which balcony to enjoy the most glorious Texas Rayleigh Blue skies from whilst sipping on a cool beverage and being misted by The Bay's coastal breezes; if that isn't plentiful on its own, we are amidst the wildly popular Kemah Boardwalk 60-acre theme park. Kemah Boardwalk, a Tilman Fertitta development, has recently taken the coveted ranking of "One of the Top Ten Boardwalks in the Country" by Smarter Travel. Kemah abounds you with a buzzing district of restaurants, nightlife, shopping, free concerts, rides, games, and so much more!

Blue Bay is a three-storied, four-bedroom, three 1/2-bath dreamy home with four balconies offering sweeping views of Galveston Bay and the city of Kemah's Light House District; here, you can easily accommodate 13-15 of your favorite people. Outdoors beckons you with a recently constructed 230 ft private pier, where our guests have fished and crabbed day and night; this area is coveted as one of the best fishing spots on The Bay!

Ground Floor:
The Ground Floor is the Game Room. The Game Room features pool, ping-pong, and card playing tables, along with an eating table, powder room, a refrigerator for your beverages, and a large flat-screen Smart TV; it is the perfect playscape for the young and old and never a dull moment to be had; just outside is a barbeque grill and spacious patio.

Second Floor:
The Second Floor has a large open-concept entertainment room, including a dining table and an inviting family room for your joyous moments and movie-watching pleasures from the 65-inch Smart TV, all with a view that never tires. You will find a double-over-double bunk bedded room and a full bathroom here. When you are done whipping up a delicious meal from the chef's kitchen, or maybe it is take-out from one of Kemah's fine restaurants, come outside and enjoy some dessert in the salty air!

The Third Floor
The Third Floor has three bedrooms. There is a spacious primary king-sized bedroom with an office desk, futon, and spa-like ensuite bathroom. You'll also find a king-sized bedded room and a double over double bunk room with a shared adjoining bathroom. All bedrooms have smart TVs, each has walk-out balconies, 2 facing the bay and one facing the City of Kemah's Lighthouse District. On this floor, you will find a well-stocked laundry room with a washer and dryer.

We are glad you're considering a stay at our Waterfront Gem, where fishing fun and star gazing are a mainstay. You will fall asleep to the sounds and sights of The Bay and hopefully awaken just in time to catch a glorious sunrise or two right from bed. So, come make some memories!

Update on Sunday, 08/18/2024: The fishing pier has been broken since Hurricane Beryl. We scheduled a crew to come out to rebuild it and expect it to be fixed by Sunday, 09/11/2024. Sorry for any inconvenience.

100% honest review: if you're looking for a brand new house that smells like new paint and new appliances, don't stay here. However, if you're like most of us and realize that homes are lived in and each has its own story to tell in every scuff and ding, then stick around! First off, this is a rental and therefore it has the wear and tear of a rental. Some of the paint was worn, the kitchen chairs have stains, etc. However, this place is beautiful!!! The owner has definitely put with into upgrading the house and it's gorgeous. My kids lived for the game room. We played pool the entire trip! The dock is perfect for fishing and the balconies has the best view of the new years fireworks. We had a few minor issues and the owner messaged me immediately to resolve them, and then showed up with pastries and champagne the next day to apologize!!! Talk about a sweetheart. I'm going into my second round of chemo for cancer and this was our last family vacation. I couldn't have asked for better! The only downside was not being able to stay longer. You'll LOVE this rental!

Ideal house for a fun weekend getaway with the family! There’s a reason it was our 4th year in a row booking. Prime location to the boardwalk, well lit and sturdy dock to fish, and the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need! Looking forward to our next stay!

Weekend away

We had a family weekend to go fishing. The location was great. We did a lot of fishing off the doc. Walking to the boardwalk was easy. The only issue we had was the shower on the main floor leaks to the the lower level. They clearly have had this issue before based on the yellow stains on the ceiling. The ceiling had water pouring out of it. The host asked us to clean the drain in the shower. We were asked to remove all garbage from the house but there weren't any garbage bags. Overall it was a nice weekend. Just made it hard when we could no longer use one of the showers.

Fun, Unique, Clean

This was such a great stay for our big group of friends. We had a great time fishing, playing ping pong, and hanging out in the house. This place is super well kept and clean. Lots of pots and pans and kitchen stuff so you can make big meals. The boardwalk is literally a minute walk away, as are many fun restaurants and bars. We got to see a Friday night firework show from the house dock. We were basically sitting right under it. So cool. The host was very communicative and checked in on us, which I really appreciated. This is a great place for a big family or group of friends. If you want a perfect way to check out Kemah, this is it.
