Cozy Bungalow with Deck, Near Kemah Boardwalk

Historic and charming, Boardwalk Bungalow is located just steps away from the Kemah Boardwalk— considered to be one of the premier boardwalks in the country. This classic Texas vacation home has sleeping space for eight people and a spacious outdoor lounging area with tons of seating, a fire pit, a charcoal grill, a sunken dining space, and a lush grassy area. When you’re ready to explore, the themed restaurants, shops, and amusement rides of the Kemah Boardwalk are right around the corner.

● WINTER TEXAN RATE: Escape to the Texas Gulf Coast this winter! Ask about our reduced monthly rates October 1 - March 1.

● Location: Kemah, Texas - 0.3 miles to the Kemah Boardwalk!

● WIFI/Cable: We provide free high-speed WIFI and Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own streaming service apps.

● Pet Policy: 2 pets are allowed with a $25 fee per pet. Please keep pets off furniture, clean up after them outside, and crate them if left alone indoors.

● Parking: We have room for up to 3 cars in the driveway.

When you arrive at Boardwalk Bungalow, you’ll park on a cobblestone driveway— the first sign that you’ve arrived someplace special. Once inside, you’ll find a living, dining, and kitchen space flooded with bright Texas sunshine. On the main floor, the master suite has a king-size bed and an attached full bathroom that can also be accessed from the dining area. There’s also a convenient laundry room on the main floor. Upstairs in the lofted sleeping space, two queen-size beds and one double bed sit underneath a vaulted ceiling highlighted with exposed wood beams. The whole room is surrounded by large, light-filled windows and peaceful views of the treetops.

Outside through the French doors, a tropical Texas oasis awaits. The massive, sun-dappled deck space has plenty of seating for everyone to spread out and relax. Sip your mug of morning coffee out here and listen to the birds, or share a bottle of wine at twilight. The fire pit makes an ideal gathering space for roasting gooey s’ mores after dinner. Grill some juicy burgers on the charcoal grill while the kids and pets play in the grassy area nearby. For a Texas vacay that’s filled with fun, sun, and excitement, Boardwalk Bungalow is the place your whole family will want to return to again and again.

Beautiful coastal themed home, and close to everything!

We loved this property. The layout was perfect for our group, the grounds were dreamy, and the decor was beautiful. Beds were super comfortable, the back deck area was spacious and relaxing. Owner thought of everything to make our stay perfect. Great communication. We will be back!

Highly recommend

This is an adorable little house that my husband and I enjoyed staying at. The neighborhood is nice and we were close enough to walk to a couple of restaurants and the boardwalk. The only small inconvenience we had was at check-in time the cleaning lady wasn't done. Property management made it right by allowing us a later check out time. I would absolutely stay here again.

Picture Deceiving

The inside of the house was nice. The outside did not look like the picture at all. Overgrown landscaping. Very deceiving. It looked like an abandoned house in the country because of the over trees, I couldn’t back down the driveway without my car making an emergency stop. Bring your own bath towels. Towels provided were too small.We had to leave a day early due to a family….Thank Goodness

Ceiling leaks during rain

Friday evening of our stay there was a typical pop up thunderstorm. Normal for summers in the south. Lasted maybe an hour. The ceiling in the ONLY BATHROOM leaked all over our things and water ran into the main bedroom downstairs. I reached out to the property management company immediately. They sent maintenance. Fine. I’m let them know I was leaving for a hotel for the last two days of our stay, as it is completely unacceptable to expect us to stay in the home, and only asked for a refund on the last two nights we wouldn’t use. I cleaned the house out as required for checkout, let them know, spoke with property management by phone, text, and chat and as of Monday morning, I am still being told they “put a request in to the owner” for a refund. VRBO is no help and said they can’t do anything since our stay is over. So, in working with the host, as they asked us to do, we got no help whatsoever. For an otherwise nice property that we enjoyed, it was surely a crappy way to end this trip. I do have both photos and videos to show this event occurring, which were all sent to the host, if needed or anyone is curious. Those water stains on the bathroom ceiling are not old and just need painting, there is an active leak at the time of our stay. I am still waiting to see if the owner will refund us the two nights we chose not to stay in the house with one unusable bathroom. Will update review if a resolution is made.

Quick Getaway

Overall, it looks as described. Beautiful decor. Very close to boardwalk. The landscaping in back yard needs attention and my children could not stop sneezing due to what may have been dust allergens. Overall, good stay.

3 night stay to visit family nearby.

The house was lovely, with plenty of beds and room at a great price. It was perfectly located with many convenient dining and entertainment options. The owners we wonderful and easy to communicate with, and even let us add a night after booking with immediate response. 100% recommended!

Uncooperative host

The property was great when our group arrived to participate in a local mission effort in July (which we attend each summer). Unfortunately, hurricane Beryl loomed close and we had to evacuate further north for safety. Due to power outages, we were not allowed to return. We were initially offered an alternative for another date. When a request was made in January to secure the property for another date, we were told too much time had passed and the reservation would not be honored. It was a fair request as the host had made the offer. I would caution anyone who considers this property

Great location! A bit tight for a larger family

The place was immaculate, well stocked, and in a prime location, within walking distance to a lot of places, including Kemah! The upstairs loft area has 3 queen beds around a room and the downstairs master has a king bed. It only has 1 bathroom, which made it tricky trying to get going in the morning.

Mr.

Excellent location and property, however, upon arrival at check in, the home was not cleaned at all from the previous guests. We had to put the towels in the washer, take out the trash and wipe the counter tops. Food in the sink as well and beds unmade. We were compensated for the issue but not a good first impression.
