Lovely
Loved our stay in Kemah. We enjoyed walking down to the Boardwalk and around the beautiful neighborhood. Very tidy homes and we felt safe there. As we were in the back yard sitting by the pool we saw blue jays, cardinals and woodpeckers. There was a cute and delicious ice cream shop one block away and T-bone Tom’s is close and a must eat at. Would stay here again.

Great house!
Great house for staying near the boardwalk. Clean, nice amenities, great pool. Unfortunately, we chose the week of the polar vortex so it was quite cold. One of us still went in the pool and it was definitely warm enough to swim around. The only odd thing is that there are no closets in the entire house. Otherwise, great place and great location!

A gem near Kemah Boardwalk
We took the kids to Kemah Boardwalk for spring break. This was a very nice spot with amble sleeping and a very large pool! The kids enjoyed the rides at the boardwalk and the bonus was the pool at this very updated home! We will return again!

Family Vacation 2024
The pool was amazing - really that was the saving grace for the trip. The washer did not work when we arrived. I let the owner know and he sent a maitance person out to look at it. We were informed a part had to be order. When I asked when the part would be in so the washer could be fixed, I received no further communication from the owner. I spent over half a day going to the laundry mat to wash clothes, beach towels, and bath towels on two different occassions for our family of 8, The frig/freezer leaked water every night. The small "beer" frig stayed too cold and froze any drinks in there even after adjusting the temperature. The master bathroom's shower onlly provided luke warm water after waiting a long while. The master bathroom had a strange smell to it. The gas stove knobs were extremely difficult to turn to get the burners working. Two consecetive days we were unable to eat outside (only table at the house) or use the pool because the trash smell was so overwhelming. A large box was delivered 2 days before our trip ended, when I asked the owner what to do with it I received no message.

Not all that shines is gold
The house is extremely small. The master bedroom is really small and the bathroom is miniscule. When in the shower you will hit your elbows because of the size of it. The water never gets warm enough and you have to start “playing” to get warm water (we were advised the heating settings were reversed when we contacted the management). They advise the “pool man” may show up, but we also had a landscaping service show that we didn’t know about. The bed in the master bedroom had “black” long hairs on it and I used it, and I have short gray hair. They ask for you to take the trash out…and we had the trash set on the curb “mysteriously”. We asked about this, and the management never gave us an answer to this.

Home was exactly as advertised. Check in/out process was simple. Owner messaged me just to see if everything was as expected and to see if we needed anything. Great neighborhood, walking distance to the boardwalk and the teen loved the rides there! Can’t wait to come back again to enjoy the pool and lovely home again!

Unfortunate Experience
When we arrived and went to unlock the door, the key was not needed, the door just pushed open. The door did not latch. Let me mention that we’re arrived later at night. Then when checking the windows the bathroom windows were both unlocked and later took both my husband and I both to push on them to lock them. So, the house was not secure when we arrived. We did let the property manager know about the door and they set someone out to fix it the next day.
Also that night after putting our daughters to bed we saw MULTIPLE cockroaches run across the floor in the master bedroom and the kitchen. Some might find this acceptable but this is not acceptable to us especially with a small child and at 12:30am we had to wake our children up and leave to check into a hotel.
We did not even get to stay one night at our rental because of this. When we let the the property management know they told us that these are wood roaches and this is normal living on the coast. They let us know that they have it treated quarterly. We saw roach traps all over the house so it is obviously a bigger problem and should be treated more often. I have family that lives near by and they assured me that it is normal for the wood roaches to be OUTSIDE not inside.
We requested a refund and they denied that.
Then, we requested a partial refund since we did not stay even one night and did not receive a response back from the property.

Great Weekend Getaway!
This property was perfect for what we needed. We had two adults, two mini adults (18 year olds, fresh out of high school) and a 15 year old in our group and the house had everything we all needed to enjoy ourselves. The walking distance to the boardwalk is a HUGE plus. No need to use the car again once we got there. I knew when booking, that the weather may not be considered "pool weather" but that didn't stop the teens from fully using it once we arrived. There was one small hiccup (no hot water in the smaller bathroom), I contacted management to advise them, and they were quick to respond and offer to send maintenance. I declined since it was a short weekend stay and we didn't have problems sharing a shower. I would 100% stay here again!

Nice place - Pool disgusting - Management mildly responsive
We rented for 4 nights. A nice place. Easy walk to Kemah attractions. Bed in master bedroom is very comfortable. But the experience was the worst we’ve ever had for a rental. We chose this place specifically for the pool and paid extra compared to other places. Upon arrival, the pool was a pea soup color and covered in algae. Management sent a pool person out to shock the pool with chemicals and said It was swimmable after two hours. Its well known you have to wait 24 hours after shocking until it’s safe. The next day algae still covered all the surfaces and they sent the pool guy to vacuum and shock the pool again. He did a poor job and many surfaces were still covered in algae. I sent them photos and videos. It was not truly swimmable until after the third night. I asked for a refund for half the cost of the rental for every day it was not swimmable. They offered only 1. We spent a ton of time trying to work it out with him and with Vrbo, which all seemed like a complete waste. Very bad experience. There were other smaller issues that spoiled the mood further, like roaches and insect traps scattered all over the place. If you bring a dog or small child, I would keep an eye out for those. Ironically, there was a review on the other major home rental website, complaining of the same issues, and claiming they got a skin rash from swimming in it. So management was aware, but did not care.
