An elevator provides access to the first and second floors, as well as the landing in between the 1st and 2nd floors. It does not reach the 3rd floor, however. *Guests requiring use of elevator must provide advance notice of such so that keys allowing for its operation can be provided.

Perfect
The house was perfect for our family Easter weekend. We had family come in from Delaware who wanted to stay on the water but one guest couldn’t do stairs so the elevator made it perfect. We were all able to be together. The owner was great with answering any questions we had.

Wonderful Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time staying here. The house is large enough that everyone was able to find something to do and have his/her own space. And the host was very kind and communicative. It's also a pleasant walk (a little less than a mile) to Kemah Boardwalk, which is always fun.

Trying not to gush over this wonderful rental
Starting with this exceptionally roomy and well equipped house, our family and extended family were able to be together for a week over Thanksgiving with plenty of elbow space for everyone and all of the appliances needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast. Then there was the ever gracious property manager. While this house has great appliances, things happen and he took care of them quickly. We are experienced in vacation property rentals and we've seen some dogs. This is house is truly a cut above, and yes, we would absolutely rent it again if were back in Kemah.

Great Getaway by the bay
Our group of adults and toddlers had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was well equipped with anything you needed and very clean with a beautiful view of the water. We caught some fish off the back deck. Will love to come back!

Reunion
We had a great visit during thanksgiving with four generations. This home was perfect for all of us. We had plenty of space and privacy. Amenities were great. Host was so congenial and responsive to any questions or concerns. Within short distance to Kemah boardwalk , which was wonderful for our out of town guests. Recommend this home.
