Kemah Stay

Moved to the area for a job and stayed here for one month. The place was exactly what I needed and Curt was helpful and responsive. The place is spacious, has great natural light and is a very short walk to the bars, restaurants and the boardwalk of Kemah. The place was fully stocked with everything I needed for my extended stay which made my move very stress free. I recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Kemah Living

Curt has everything you need for easy living One bedroom condo. There is open garage with assigned parking under the building and the condo is just up 5 steps and across a small courtyard. A second flight of 18 steps leads to a warm and inviting open space of living, dining and kitchen. The master is very comfortable with room darkening drapes. The bathroom has both shower and Roman bathtub. The kitchen is fully stocked. Curt has also been easily accessible for any questions or requests making my stay all the more pleasant. Waking distance to food, bars, and fun makes it even better. HEB grocery is just minutes away. a great place to relax and have fun in Kemah.

Kemah Get-a-away

We had a delightful stay in Curt's condo. It was meticulously clean and very comfortable. My biggest surprise was all the amenities that were available to us. We had stayed at another location for a few weeks prior to coming to Curt's so we really had all our own necessities. But, to see coffee, decaffeinated coffee, tea, coffee filters, spices, paper towels, etc. was a delightful surprise. I traveled constantly prior to retirement and I would have given anything to have had what was provided at this condo. We are an older couple so it was a bit challenging for us to manage the stairs especially when grocery shopping. So I would recommend this place for the younger set to middle age. Other than this it was a perfect stay. A couple of times we struggled with the TV but all we needed to do was let Curt know and he was totally happy to help us when we needed him. I would definitely recommend these accommodations for any business traveler or anyone just wanting a get-a-way.

Very very Nice Apartment

This is one of the nicest apartment rentals we've stayed at. Quiet. Good location. Very walkable. Restaurants and morning coffee are very close! Reasonably priced. The host, Curt was available and helpful. And Galveston is a 20 minute drive away. If you are going to Kemah and you are looking at rentals you should take a good look at close look at this unit. It will be worth your while.

I love this place

I have stayed here three separate times for about 10 days each time. I can't say enough good things about it. I travel for business so to have a kitchen and washer and dryer is so convenient for me. The owner, Curt, is very helpful and considerate. He has everything you could possibly need in the condo. It is within walking distance to the Boardwalk and many great restaurants and shops. I will definitely book again.

Couldn't feel more welcome

I have nothing else to say than praising Mr. Curt, the house had all the thing you need as soon as you arrive, specially after a 10 our flight with a 10 month old baby, he even had two bottles of water waiting for us, everything went smooth and Mr. Curt is always available, by far the best expirience me and my family had with this kind of services, is safe to say, we literally felt like home.

Kemah Retreat

We were looking for a 30 day rental in Kemah and found this property on your website. The condo was in a great location within walking distance of the Kemah Boardwalk and a short drive to the ocean in Galveston and downtown Houston. The property was very clean and well maintained with easy access to parking. The condo was very comfortable and had all the amenities that we required for our stay. The owner was very helpful and accessible and had an office next to the condo. We very much enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again.

We were very pleased with this condo. It was very clean and comfortable for our family. The boardwalk is within walking distance and golf cart rentals next door. Kurt was very accomodating and we had a very pleasurable stay. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks, Kurt for sharing your condo!

Great place for tourist visit

We wanted to visit the Houston / Galveston area and found this Kemah condo to be well located. It's about 6 blocks to the Kemah boardwalk with its attractions and restaurants. We bought fresh Gulf shrimp less than a mile away. The unit was clean, with everything provided. Curt was very cordial and available for any questions or needs. We would recommend this to friends or relatives.

We had a blast

Amazing condo! We enjoyed our stay so much. The condo was only a few blocks from the boardwalk so we walked down every day. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil I could ever need and the bed was absolutely wonderful! Our little boy loved the balcony. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be visiting again! Thanks Curt for being so hospitable!!

Perfect home away from home stay in Kemah

The Kemah condo is a very nice place to stay. You will feel right at home with all the comforts of home as my husband and I did. We use to live in the area and then were transfered overseas and have come home during the summer and stayed at this condo and it was just like coming home. Great bathroom and bed was awsome. The nice size closet and washer and dryer was nice and big. The entire kitchen and living room was large enough to entire our family and friends. The location is perfect as well with many resturants in the area. Curt, you did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible with forgetting nothing. We highly recommend this condo to all traveling in the area and for people who like a clean and uncluttered place.

A great place to stay

We were visiting Kemah from the UK to attend a friend's wedding and chose Kemah Retreat mainly for its location. The interior and exterior photos on the website were also very attractive. We were delighted with our choice. The apartment was lovely, exactly as pictured and described. It was spotlessly clean and everything was in good order. We really appreciated the little things that were provided - bottled water, wine, coffee, toothpaste etc. - especially after the 18 hour haul from London! Thank you Curt. The location was perfect for the wedding celebrations and also for the dining and entertainment at Kemah Boardwalk. Our visit was in the "low season" so apart from Fri/Sat it was quite quiet at the Boardwalk and easy to get seating in the restaurants. We particularly enjoyed our meals at Landry's on the Boardwalk and at T-Bone Tom's which was only a 5 minute walk from the apartment. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for comfortable, affordable accommodation in the Kemah area.
