About this property

Kame House | Hot Tub w/ Ocean Views, Beachfront

Charming beachfront property with ocean views from the hot tub. Sleeps 10 max: Welcome to this thoughtfully remodeled beach house located on a spacious corner lot, 2 blocks from the beach. Kame house is the perfect coastal getaway for you and the family to enjoy the beach and the many amenities available at the beach house.

You are only:

0.1 miles from the beach

1 mile from the big store and restaurants

2.5 miles from the ferry to Galveston


The space:

Every aspect of this home has been remodeled to breathe new life into this cozy beach house.

While the home is equipped to host 10 people, we think the perfect group size is 6-8. We’re happy to host all 10, but keep in mind it will be a little cozier.

Is that a cloud you’re sleeping on? Nope, that’s just the memory foam mattresses we stock in every bedroom! So, no need to draw straws on who sleeps where, because every room in the house is its own sanctuary.

The .28 acre lot sits just minutes from the beach and is all yours to enjoy some space. Downstairs, there is a tiki bar, picnic tables, BBQ grill, cushioned outdoor seating, swinging bench, shower, ping-pong table, basketball hoop, corn-hole, and outdoor lighting to enjoy the evenings.

Need a break from the heat? Your beach retreat has you covered with central AC, a 75in Samsung Smart TV, board games, Wii console, streaming services (Disney + and YouTube TV included only. For other steaming services bring your own login. Please remember to log out of all your accounts.). After having enjoyed a nice day inside, long after the sun has set, hang out on the upper deck furniture under the stars and enjoy the cool coastal breeze.
Is it winter during a cold front? Hop in the outdoor Hot-Tub on the upper deck right outside the door. You’ll be able to enjoy the jet-propelled steaming water with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Afterwards, use the fully equipped kitchen to cook you and your loved ones a delicious meal.The beach is a short 3-minute walk away, but if you would like to rent a golf cart I recommend you do so as soon as possible! The nearby golf cart rental companies tend to get booked pretty quickly. If you would like assistance in obtaining contact information for the rental companies nearby, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. It would be my pleasure to assist you to have a memorable vacation.

Other things to note:

Kame House has an affiliate: BabyQuip. For a fee, (paid to the vendor) you can rent baby equipment such as cribs, toys, gates etc.. When booking just send me a message and let me know how I can help you, I'd be more than happy to do it :).

Please keep in mind that we run on septic. So please do not flush ANYTHING that’s not waste or toilet paper. Also there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. Please discard all waste into the trash can.

NOTE: We charge a higher cleaning fee so we are able to drain, sanitize, refill and balance the hot tub regularly.

PETS: Dogs only. An additional $100 will be added if bringing a pet. No dangerous breeds. Pet must be 50lbs or under.

Check out request: Upon checkout, the guest will be asked to:
- Place dirty dishes in dishwasher with detergent and start
- Place dirty towels in the washing machine with detergent and start
- Turn off the Tvs and lights
- Lock the doors
- Take out the trash
- Open all cabinets and drawers to make sure you don't forget anything. Leave them open for the cleaner.
Sometimes we have a quick turnaround and our cleaners only have so much time. In order to keep Kame House as clean as we can for every guest who comes seeking relaxation, your help is greatly appreciated :)

RESPONSIBLE PERSON MAKING A RESERVATION MUST BE 25 YEARS OLD OR OVER. NO THIRD PARTY BOOKINGS. RESPONSIBLE PERSON MUST BE ON SITE THROUGHOUT THE TRIP.


**There are security cameras on the outside of Kame House. There is one above the front door, one above the back door, one under the house, one on the side of the house and a ring doorbell on the back door (main entrance). Recordings are stored on a secured DVR and viewed following an incident or claim. All recordings are automatically deleted bi-weekly. Tampering with the cameras is not allowed; doing so will result in immediate cancellation without refund.

Great Location
Kame house was great for our weekend trip to CB. Easy access to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Close to the Big Store too. Owner is very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to questions. Loved the fenced area for our dog. House was cleaned well but could use a bit of TLC.

My stay although was short, it was absolutely amazing. The cabin was everything you could possibly ask for and then some. The property owner was quick to respond with any needs I had and was such a pleasure to deal with. I will definitely be back in the near future.

Excellent location!!
You are so close to the beach! I think it took us less than 3 minutes to slowly walk down there. You also have a beautiful view of the ocean! The house was super clean! The host was very responsive and quickly resolved any issues we had. The furniture could use a little updating but over all we were very pleased with our stay!

Wonderful vacation rental
I have stayed at Crystal Beach a few times and this was my favorite rental so far. There were a couple small things, like how tv works etc, but Kyle was so helpful and responsive. Made all the difference. We will definitely stay here again.

Property was beautiful with a great view and walking distance to beach. The owner was super helpful and very responsive. My only complaint was all the linens on the beds were still really wet that we had to strip them to dry them. Overall great place to stay!

Kame House
Kame House was a nice house; it has a few issues that need to be addressed, but mostly cosmetic. Be sure to bring your mosquito spray, the entry point for the back of the house is near a dense grass/wildflower field and the mosquitos are terrible. We enjoyed our weekend at Kame House and will book again in the future.

Great location near the beach. Also near to shopping and dining. The house was very clean and well furnished with a great layout. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the crashing waves. The host was very responsive to our questions and quick to answer. Overall, this was a great getaway. We would definitely recommend.

Family vacation
We had a great time in this beautiful home. It looks just like the pictures. The beds were so comfortable. We rented a golf cart but we walked too and it’s super close to the beach. The host was so nice and checked in on us a couple of times (through the app). The basketball hoop was a big hit! We will definitely be back. We had five adults and 2 two year olds. It was perfect! So glad we found it!

Great beach house & great location!!
Great location, just steps from the beach! Extras were awesome, loved the ping pong table, basketball goal and hot tub! House was clean and well stocked, but most of the time was spent outside. Nothing beats parking on the beach and building a fire to cook hot dogs and s’mores. Bring a shovel and stop at the big store for supplies and a beach parking pass. Awesome time at a great property!

Great House and Location!!
We had a great time at Kame House! The house is beautiful and was very clean when we arrived. They have great amenities and activities available at the house but the location is so close to the beach with very easy access that I don’t know why you wouldn’t spend all of your time in the sand/water. The host is helpful and easy to work with. He also provides a very helpful guide with lots of good information. We highly recommend Kame House!

Quiet Prom Getaway
We were looking for a fun but quiet place for several moms to take our girls and their dates for prom, a place that would be roomy and fun with beach access but not too pricey or in the middle of party houses. This was the perfect place! We enjoyed all aspects of our stay, and I highly recommend it for a family or small gathering. You can see and hear the water from the spacious back deck area, and the area under the house offers additional space to play games or just relax. It is a gem!

Get away weekend
We had a great weekend in Bolivar. This house was perfect for us. Very cute, well stocked and super clean. Close enough to beach to walk back to use the bathroom. Hot tub was very clean and in the perfect location. It is just under the covered patio, so we enjoyed it even as it rained. Bed was super comfy. We didn't bring our dog, but the dog run would be great if we had. Tia Juanita's Fish Camp right across the highway had great food - chicken sausage gumbo was really good. Host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle Shank

Host profile image
I work as a Park Ranger and have a love for the relaxing aspects of Nature. I want to share my love for leisure with as many people as I can. We all need a little time for some R&R. I've designed Kame House to provide just that.

Why they chose this property

Close enough to the beach to walk in just a couple minutes, and far enough away so the crowds that flock to the beach during the peak seasons wont be a bother. Standing on the deck, you'll be able to hear and see the waves crashing on the beach. At night, the festivities kick off and fireworks can often be seen being launched out over the ocean.

What makes this property unique

The hot-tub is located on the upper deck and you'll have that view of the ocean while getting massaged by the jets. It's really great...
