Definitely "Petite", but wonderful cottage!
The location is perfect! It's only about a 6 minute drive to Kemah and about 25 minutes to Galveston. The cottage is actually located just behind the main house. There is a deck off of the bedroom upstairs that has a nice view of the Bay. And if you walk by the side of the main house there is a beautiful Deck with lounge chairs that overlooks a fantastic view of the Bay! We were very pleased with our stay!

Great location
The property is as described. It was my error in thinking that our lodging was directly on the water. The cottage is located behind the house which is on the water. Just a short walk on the side of the house to the large patio located waterfront. Opening the front door, you walk into one compact room, which is the living room, dining room and kitchen all in one. Small couch, coffee table (which lifts up to make a small dining table), and kitchen area. The bedroom upstairs is very large. There is a small balcony off the bedroom with view of water. There is an A/C unit in each room. Hosts were in communication, making sure we were taken care of.

A surprise!
We had to cancel an RV trip due to brake problems and found this little gem just south of Kemah. The hosts provided us lots of good info on things to do and where to eat. When we had questions about the cottage, they responded with helpful answers very quickly. The location was great and we spent lots of time on the balcony and the patio, reading and watching Galveston Bay. We enjoyed our stay and heartily recommend it.

Charming Cottage by the Bay
Beautiful neighborhood with mature oak trees. Stunning sunrise over the bay. I sat at the end of the pier (brought my own folding chair) for a glorious morning show of gulls hunting for breakfast, baitfish flying out of the water fleeing from predators below. I even saw a few dolphins the first morning! All this can be seen from the deck as well, but I really enjoyed the full immersion experience the second day. To close out the evening there was a dragonfly parade, thousands of the largest dragonflies I have ever seen, gliding along above the shoreline eradicating tens of thousands of mosquitoes. Thankful for that!

About the host

Hosted by Donald (Don) or Nancy Greenstein

Host profile image
Don and Nancy Greenstein: We are an educated and retired (33 years married) couple that live year round in the main residence on the property. Don is a native Houstonian whose family summer vacationed in the Galveston Bay area since the 1950s, Nancy is a retired business-owner from Ft. Wayne, IN. We have lived in the Galveston Bay area together for many years. The area is private, romantic and relaxed; the climate is semi-tropical with warm bay breezes year round. We enjoy boating, dining, golfing and family activities on the property and on Galveston Bay.

Why they chose this property

Don is a Houston native and has vacationed in the Bacliff/Bayview/Kemah, TX area all his life. I love the area's climate, water entertainment access and relaxed style of living. The seafood dining in the area is unmatched in the state of Texas. The productivity of offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico off the Galveston coast is unmatched in the U.S. The South Texas coast is the premier site saltwater entertainment mecca of the Houston area and South eastern Texas. This property has the best view (270 degree) of the Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel that runs though it. Annually, on Fridays in the months of June and July there are waterfront hour-long fireworks displays that are visible from our waterfront decks. The wildlife (sea gulls, pelicans, porpoises) behavior displays from our decks are phenomenal.

What makes this property unique

There are only a few waterfront locations to stay on Galveston bay: ours is one of the most popular in the area. It is competitively priced and combines privacy, seclusion and cozy accommodation for a weekend get-away for busy working couples, honey-moon and anniversary couples either for short or extended stays. The panoramic views of Galveston Bay are exclusive to this property. We have operated this vacation rental for ten of the fifteen years we have lived here to rave (mostly five-star) reviews from locals and out-of-town travelers alike.
