About this property

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.

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.

Quaint house perfectly situated!

We stayed here for two nights in December. The house was very comfortable, clean, and well stocked with fresh linens and towels. The house was easily within walking distance of a great variety of restaurants and other things to do on the boardwalk. We would gladly stay here again!

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
