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.

Adorable place and very clean. Host is incredibly attentive and quick to respond. Great location, too. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that there's no TV in the primary sweet, and beds are a bit uncomfortable. But, truly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

I enjoyed the bungalow, its condition, and the location. You were very prompt in fixing the washer and dryer issues but I was concerned that the carbon monoxide problem wasn’t addressed. I brought my concerns to the fire department that initially found hot spots of carbon monoxide in the bungalow. After that find I was the only one staying at the bungalow with the furnace turned off and windows open.

Cute cozy clean house within walking distance to the boardwarlk and many restaurantsand bars. Comfortable beds. Charged 50 to check in hour early but wouldnt refund to leave a day early. A little warm upstairs, driveway bushes a tad unkept making it hard to get big truck in without scratching, and Dryer didnt work. Overall a good experience and would recommend for a quiet family vacation.

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.
