Such a beautiful place! Well stocked with everything we needed: pans, kitchen utensils, games for kids and even a basket of beach towels! It was great having 3 fridges and they have an ice machine!. There was plenty of seating both inside and out. Bottom line, It was the perfect place for my daughter's 40th birthday get together.

This home is a must for anybody having a large family staying in the Kemah area. The home was as advertised with plenty to do including swimming, fishing, darts, pool table, poker table and a very large TV. Our family was there for a wedding and it made it very convenient for the 11 of us who stayed at the property. Our sons and daughter-in-law wedding party had their makeup done at the property which was large enough to accommodate all. Overall a five-star plus for this property. The view is to die for.

The house was absolutely perfect for our stay with all of our kids and grandkids. We loved having so many separate bedrooms and bathrooms—it made everything so comfortable and convenient. Everything was spotless, and the kitchen was the best equipped of any place we’ve ever stayed. There were plenty of plates, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, and casserole dishes for everyone.The spacious common room made it easy for everyone to be together, even while different groups enjoyed their own activities. The view and location were beautiful, and the pool was a huge hit with the young kids (ages 2–6). Evenings around the gas fire pit were wonderfully relaxing.Ralph, the caretaker, was outstanding—always available to answer questions and proactive about checking in to make sure everything was perfect.

Why they chose this property

Our homes are nestled just minutes from the famous Kemah Boardwalk, where you can enjoy waterfront dining, carnival rides, live music, and scenic sunsets over the bay. You’ll often hear laughter echoing from the boardwalk and smell the fresh salt air mixed with kettle corn and seafood. Mornings here are peaceful, perfect for sipping coffee on the deck, and evenings come alive with lights and local energy.

What we love most is the easygoing atmosphere — where guests can fish off a dock in the morning, explore shops and restaurants by afternoon, and enjoy a coastal breeze by night. Whether you're planning a romantic escape or a family adventure, Kemah is a destination that makes every getaway feel special.

What makes this property unique

Our Bay Breeze Estate offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and fun — all just minutes from the Kemah Boardwalk. Set right on Galveston Bay, the home features two private pools, a 300-foot fishing pier, and a two-level boathouse perfect for watching dolphins at sunrise or fishing under the lights at night.

The gated property comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests across 7 spacious bedrooms, making it ideal for families, reunions, or group getaways. Inside, you’ll find entertainment for everyone: a pool table, poker table, game areas, and even a full bar.

What sets us apart from other rentals in Kemah:
* Waterfront access with spectacular bay views
* Spacious indoor/outdoor living areas
* Optional heated pools for year-round enjoyment
* Close proximity to the Kemah Boardwalk, just a short walk or drive away
* On-site parking and gated security for peace of mind
* Locally managed with quick support if anything’s needed

Whether you're floating in the pool, grilling on the patio, or exploring nearby attractions, this home makes every moment feel like a true vacation. It’s where big groups can spread out, relax, and make memories — all in a setting that feels like your own private resort.
