About this property

The Kemah Cottage offers a unique setting quite different from a beach house or condo. It was built and furnished with love meant for people that enjoy a cottage feeling. The home is extremely comfortable offering antique furnishings and fixtures everywhere. With 2 king size beds, and a Lazy Boy queen sleeper sofa that a hotel quality mattress for extra comfort. Palm landscaping provides privacy from the road and a large, fenced backyard with a doggy door. There is a front and back patio both covered to enjoy your morning coffee with covered parking. Freshly painted and brand new mini splits in every room installed 2023.

The cottage is located in Bacliff, next to Kemah and 2 miles from the Kemah boardwalk. Bacliff's population is 8,000 know as an old fishing town at one time. It is unincorporated with no deed restrictions, so it is unique in its own right. You will see nice homes and cottages next to business and some older trailers. This small town is near everything that the area has offer but is unconventional and some residents do have roosters. I stayed in the cottage for the month of June 2023 and was not woken up by roosters not once.

The cottage is fully equipped with internet and walking distance to a Family Dollar and is located a few blocks from Galveston Bay, 5 min. to Kemah Boardwalk and 15 min. to Galveston Island and Moody Gardens. It is very close to Nasa Space Center and about 20 min. from Hobby Airport and about 30 min. to Downtown Houston.

Check out listing # 4778811, Clifton By The Sea Bungalow, 2 doors down from the Cozy Cottage. This is a 1 bedroom quaint cozy bungalow! Perfect for smaller parties! You can rent out both of my properties together for family gatherings!

nightmare

When we first arrived we were disappointed with the neighbourhood. Itwas mostly old trailer homesin variousforms of disrepair with yards full of junk.There were some houses here and there. the house wasn't very clean when we arrived but my wife washed everything and cleaned it up nicely. The showers were moldy and no matter what she did she couldn't remove it she also washed all the windows so we could see out. The beds were comfortable and the front porch and back deck were very nice. The front porch allowed you to watch all the cars with loud motors and even louder mufflers race up and down the street all day and night with the dogs barking 24/7 and roosters chiming in around 3 or 4 a.m. it was awonderful cacophony of sound. As for our landlord our internet and t.v. went out and took 2 days to fix the second t.v. was ok because its not hooked up to anything. Then the kitchen stove quit. The neighbor came over twice to try and fix it to no avail. The neighbor is a great guy but works fulltime so he's mostly unavailable. So after a week she finally sent out a service tech. but couldn't decide on what to do.She told me i was lucky that it happened near the end of our stay rather than at the start and maybe we should go to walmart and buy a camp stove so could at least heat a can of beans. Finally after 2 weeks we got a new stove. Eating out for that amount of time was an added expense we didn't count on. In our opinionif you have a rental property but live 4 states away you should have a better support system like a property management co. or someone to take care of things in a timely manor so people don't have to wait 2 weeks to get things resolved. We will never be back.

Very disappointed

Arrived to a very cold house. (In the 50s)Could not find a thermostat. This is how we found that there is no central air or heat. AC window units and space heaters. First thing i found was a half full cup of coffee? on kitchen counter that had been there so long it had mold growing in it. The coffee maker had old grounds still in it. The dishwasher had dirty cups and glasses in it. Trash can half full of garbage. Dirty towels in the washer & towels in dryer. Assorted food in fridge. Mold/mildew in front shower. We left and went to hotel. ($114.) Called host and told her condition. Her response was, "are the beds made?" I said yes. Her response, "if the beds are made then the house was cleaned". Later she called back and said the cleaning person was at house and found no dirty dishes. I told her I had pictures. She asked me to text them to her. I called VRBO to get refund. VRBO person said he would call host. He called back and said host refused to give refund. Next morning went back to house since we were not able to throw away $3200.. At house we found moldy coffee cup had been rinsed, not cleaned, still had crusty ring around inside, in the cabinet along with the dirty glasses from the dishwasher. Coffee maker was emptied. Food removed from fridge. Trash still not emptied. Towels still in washer/dryer. We never used any dishes and those dirty cups & glasses are still in cabinet. Spent first days cleaning but mold/mildew could not be removed from shower so just used rear shower. VRBO did refund their fee so that was a little something. Cut our stay short so we didnt lose all we had to pay. Still have pics for anyone to see. Now for neighborhood. If you like barking dogs, lots of loud vehicles and thumping stereos from some surrounding neighbors (as late as 3:40 am), then this is the place for you.

About the host

Hosted by Charlie

I grew up in North West Houston and around 15 years ago I moved to the Kemah/Clearlake area and never looked back. People seem to be more laid back and friendly in this area. The Kemah/Clearlake area is one of the 3 largest boating capitals in the United States so if you enjoy power boating or sail boating this is a nice place to live. This area is also very popular with antique car collectors, motorcycle enthusiast and has live entertainment at restaurants and bars. The list goes on and on of things to see and do in this area.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this home from an architect. It is my understanding this home had a small fire and the architect spent sereral years restoring the home. This guy had great attention to detail and is an antique lover. Every where you look you will see interesting antique fixtures, with solid hardwood floors that came out of estate homes and ceiling beams though out the home. I fell in love with the home because it is so unique. Actually I purchased the home for myself and have lived in it the last 4 years. This is why the home is nicely furnished, well equipped and feels like home.

What makes this property unique

This property is very comfortable, charming, romantic, and cozy, and private from the street. If you have pets this is the vacation rental you want to book. Your pet will love the front and back covered patio and the cute backyard which is fully fenced. Guess What? 'No Pet Charge' That is a huge savings.

The things to do and places to go are endless all within 15-20 mins from the cottage. If you book I know you will enjoy your stay.
