Large Bayfront Vacation Home w/ Elevator, Pier & Amazing views of Galveston Bay

A gorgeous landscaped garden greets guests at the front of the home. The 5 bedroom, 4 full & 2 half bath house has an open concept main kitchen and living room with vaulted ceiling that are perfect for entertaining or relaxing with direct views of the water.

**Please note that the recent effects of Hurricane Beryl unfortunately destroyed the pier**

The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a commercial oven with gas cooktop, dishwasher, fridge, warming drawer and microwave. A separate bar area is situated outside the kitchen by the grand living room and features a granite bar top, ice maker a wine cooler with dual temperature settings and two beverage fridges.

The home has large, floor to ceiling windows throughout, providing for lots of light and wonderful views of the bay. The home’s first and second floors feature large covered patio and balconies with various patio furniture seating and dining options.

The first floor has a kitchen with full size fridge, oven, cooktop, dishwasher and microwave as well as three bedrooms, two of which have king size beds with adjoining private full bathrooms, and a third small bedroom with a bunk bed consisting of a twin over a full size bed and access to a half bath a couple steps away. The first floor also has a large living room with a couch that folds out to a queen size sleeper sofa, as well as a small dining table.

The second floor features an enormous master bedroom and ensuite with jacuzzi tub, shower, dual vanities and multiple closets. The main kitchen and living room are also on the second floor.

A third bedroom is situated on the 3rd floor accessed via a spiral staircase and is appointed with a queen size bed and adjoining full bath. The third floor also has two large padded benches located on either side of the third floor landing, that can be used for naps or potentially even sleeping, if needed.

An elevator provides access to the first and second floors, as well as the landing in between the 1st and 2nd floors. It does not reach the 3rd floor, however. *Guests requiring use of elevator must provide advance notice of such so that keys allowing for its operation can be provided.

We currently offer "Hulu+ Live TV" to our guests on 6 flat screen HDTVs. It is available on both living room TVs, upstairs and downstairs. Also, all the bedrooms, with the exception of the bunk bed room, has access to it.

Perfect Getaway
Beautiful home, better than expected! The layout of the house was ideal for our three families. Everyone had their own space and the king rooms with on-suite baths alleviated any issues. The home is spacious and the wrap-around decks were great for relaxing and watching the waves. The kitchen is five-star for cooking and entertaining. Would definitely come back.

It was a honor and a blessing Out of all the houses we stayed at - i must say this house is at the top of my list! Only thing, because me and my son likes to fish, wish they would fix the light under the pier or put some lights on the deck That was the only problem

Perfect
The house was perfect for our family Easter weekend. We had family come in from Delaware who wanted to stay on the water but one guest couldn’t do stairs so the elevator made it perfect. We were all able to be together. The owner was great with answering any questions we had.

Wonderful Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time staying here. The house is large enough that everyone was able to find something to do and have his/her own space. And the host was very kind and communicative. It's also a pleasant walk (a little less than a mile) to Kemah Boardwalk, which is always fun.

Trying not to gush over this wonderful rental
Starting with this exceptionally roomy and well equipped house, our family and extended family were able to be together for a week over Thanksgiving with plenty of elbow space for everyone and all of the appliances needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast. Then there was the ever gracious property manager. While this house has great appliances, things happen and he took care of them quickly. We are experienced in vacation property rentals and we've seen some dogs. This is house is truly a cut above, and yes, we would absolutely rent it again if were back in Kemah.

We had a great visit during thanksgiving with four generations. This home was perfect for all of us. We had plenty of space and privacy. Amenities were great. Host was so congenial and responsive to any questions or concerns. Within short distance to Kemah boardwalk , which was wonderful for our out of town guests. Recommend this home.

Perfect home for a group golf outing
Ideal for a group of men on a multi-day golf outing. Nearly everyone had their own bathroom, Master ensuite bath equipped with steam, jacuzzi and huge walk in shower. Two kitchens, one with all the bells and whistles, wet bar with wine chiller and ice machine, and most importantly an attentive and helpful host. Definitely will be back the next time in the area.

Generational Family Retreat
We escaped to this beautiful property for Spring Break and had a great time. The home is beautiful and has plenty of room for extended family. There was plenty to do at the house and due to covid we didn’t venture out but still had a blast. We watched movies on the smart TVs, had a game night, and enjoyed amazing ocean views every day. The owner responded to every email as soon as I sent them and due to this, we felt so well cared for. And let me tell you how clean it is - due to covid we bring our own wipes to disinfect light switches, door knobs, and handles -and those wipes were still white when we finished! No dirt or grime anywhere! We’ve stayed in many hotels and rental homes, and this has been the best choice by far. We would love to come again!
