About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cute bungalow with massive deck + fire pit, walk to 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.

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

WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.

Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.

Pet policy: Up to 2 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if you’re planning on bringing your furry friend!

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

Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.

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.

- Guests must be 24+ to book the property.
- One-night stays must be approved.
- Groups larger than 6 would need to be approved. We do not allow parties.
- Quiet hours are from 10pm-8am.

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.

Beach house
We have been to Kemah before as a family, but this time we decided to rent a beach house for a better experience Russell was incredibly prompt with every question I had which made the booking experience a breeze! The house was absolutely darling and spacious for our family of four. There was plenty of room to bring easy meals for the evening and convenient enough to walk down to the boardwalk and enjoy a night with the family. We will definitely be looking to book again! Thank you for an incredible experience!

Excellent Location
We were in town visiting friends that had a new baby, but we grew up in this area. The location of this rental is fantastic. Walking distance to some of our faves: the coffee shop, Cool Cow Creamery, Dan’s Pizza and the Kemah boardwalk. The layout of the house is nice and we enjoyed plenty of couch space in the living room and the large kitchen for cooking. There was even a crockpot! Our dog enjoyed having green space in the yard and we loved being just a block from some beautiful water views on our morning walks. We would stay here again if we needed someplace in this area.

Not Clean
ALL 3 beds upstairs are so nasty ( toe nail clippings- dirt - blood spots )we had to was them ourselves Told the gentleman on the phone and his reply is thank you I will let house keeping know. I have been renting from VRBO for 20 years and never have left a bad review. With this kind of reply this might be my first. Also I have 3 other things I was not to worried about but I will tell you now 1. No hot water in bathroom sink 2. Bathroom door is falling off its hinges, will not shut. 3. Beds upstairs need all bolts tightened, I could only hand tighten.

This place is super cute and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Loved the decor and the couch is very comfortable. A few maintenance things needed to be addressed but nothing major. These include: no hand towel hanger in bathroom, light bulbs out, tv remote in living room was not working properly, fire pit did not light. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time! It was our first time in Houston area and this location was perfectly situated close to all the places we went to visit. Very clean, comfortable, and convenient. The kitchen is fully stocked up with kitchen supplies, extra blankets, and towels. The Kemah Boardwalk was walking distance, also so close to restaurants, coffee shops and a nearby park.
