About this property

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.

Perfect for a group!

We took a small school group (about 15) to Space Center Houston. The house was perfect for our group! Close to NASA and food choices; our students loved walking a block to the Kemah Boardwalk attractions.

Amazing house on the bay

We loved everything about our stay in Kemah. Hailey was very communicative and explained everything well. The house was BEAUTIFUL and very well stocked with everything needed for a lovely stay. We enjoyed all of the spaces but especially the bay-facing balconies. The pier is also great and just outside the back door. The house was also super close to everything. We were able to easily walk to the Boardwalk and to local restaurants and entertainment. Several members of our group were already thinking of others they’d like to bring to this area in the future. Would 100% recommend this space to family or friends of 10+!

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.

My family ranging from 4 months to 75 years had a fantastic time! The accommodations were perfect, not only was it in walking distance to the Kemah Boardwalk the rental had a variety of entertainment options for all ages. Toys for toddlers, game room for teenagers and young adults and the fishing dock was enjoyed by all! Would definitely rent again!

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.

Blue diamond in Kemah

We had the best experience at Blue Bay! Check in, descriptions of the home with instructions made it easy for us. We loved the notices inside the house with WiFi info and the binder with locations to urgent care if needed! The soft grey painting with white kitchen and off white couches were beautiful. Not only is this Blue Diamond of a property well taken care of, but the location is a gem! We had a staycation for prom weekend here with 12 girls and 3 moms. We were walking distance from Kemah for the girls to enjoy. Afterwards, they played in the game room with ping pong, pool and they brought their virtual reality and Wii sets for some fun. Saturday was a late wake up day filled with primping hair and makeup for prom. There was plenty of space for girls to get ready. Even when everyone was showering at the same time the water pressure stayed full and hot water didn’t run out! Pictures outside overlooking the bay with their dates were beautiful! We can’t wait to return to this location!

About the host

Hosted by Hailey

Host profile image
As avid travelers, we value hospitality and know what makes a short-term rental work. Blue Bay has recently undergone a complete renovation and we have it comfortably stocked. There is water and soda in the refrigerator, coffee to be brewed, and snacks in the kitchen to hold you off until your next meal. You’ll also find dishwashing tablets underneath the kitchen sink and the usual in-bathroom toiletries that you might have forgotten. It is our greatest hope that our home brings you many cherished times and that we have thought of much to make your stay an enjoyable one.

Why they chose this property

We have called Clear Lake, Texas, home for thirty years; our Blue Bay Home, located in the heart of Kemah Boardwalk, has been the perfect place to unwind. It’s a place where we gather with friends and family, play, fish, boat, and take in Texas Rayleigh Blue skies, porch side, over the coastal breezes of Galveston Bay; it is our pleasure to share it with you and yours.
