Christmas break in Kemah
We do a family gathering in December with children and grandchildren. This is our 5th year. We do an informal vote on at the end to see how the current stay compares to previous ones. This one was the favorite. The house was exactly as advertised and everyone loved it.

This is our fourth time to stay at the seaside retreat. We love it. The location is perfect being next to the Kemah Boardwalk and several restaurants. Great house for couples with the in-suite bathrooms. Love the back covered patio. It’s a nice spot on a warm day due to the shade and gulf breeze. We will stay there again! Thanks Tim for being a great Host!

Great place for a family getaway!
This place is in a great location! You can walk to a lot of restaurants and bars and the boardwalk is right next door. There is plenty of separate spaces so you’re not on top of each other unless you want to be. We came with 10 adults and a dog and it was great! We all liked hanging out at the tiki bar. The fishing pier being attached to the property was fun too! We would definitely stay here again!

Christmas Gathering
The home was beautifully decorated for us for Christmas and the morning sunrises were nice once the winter fog lifted. The owner keeps the home well stocked with necessities in case you forget something. Lots to do nearby in walking distance. Or simply visit with family on the large deck. We would definitely recommend a stay here. 🙂 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

We had an excellent time and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the house! Everything was clean and well maintained! Mr. Tran extended our check out so we could enjoy most of the day Sunday as well. Although the weather wasn't the greatest we could not have asked for a better location and house!

Family Reunion
Plenty of room for our family gathering. The Boardwalk is literally on the same block and there was something for everyone to enjoy. We took an entire day at the beach. We drove out to catch the free ferry to enjoy the gulf side but opted not to ferry back (long wait to board). Over all the home was clean and comfortable.

Wonderful Retreat
Wow, what a great cabin. Very clean and very roomy. All the comforts of home, yet within walking distance of the boardwalk, shops, restaurants, and don't forget the fishing. We held my daughter's wedding on the fourth of July on the property, under the palm trees, right next to the bay. It was absolutely beautiful. We appreciate Tim allowing us to have the wedding on the property. The cabin was the perfect place to watch the fourth of July firewords display. No obstructions, just an awesome view. Thanks for the beautiful cabin and the wonderful family memories. I would reccommend this property handsdown. I am sure we will be back!!!!

Wonderful stay...weather and all!
We rented this home last July and loved it. We decided to return for a New Year's Eve stay without hesitation. The weather was not the best, but that did not keep us from enjoying this lovely home. Thankfully the fireworks that were delayed actually did go off the following night which we had booked from the beginning. Tim, as always, had great communication with us and was always available for problems that might have arisen during our stay. Having rented many homes through VRBO, I can say that is not always the case. The house was perfect for our group of 8 adults and two children. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking to stay near the Kemah Boardwalk. Thanks Tim! We will return next summer.
