Coffee with a View

We really enjoyed our stay at "The Lone Star". The view is great from the balcony where we enjoyed morning coffees. Fishing is a short walk to the rocks and Kemah always has a lot to offer. The communication and responsiveness from the owner was fantastic, and he worked hard to help ensure our stay was worthwhile.

Home away from home

Our trip was a girls trip! The girls and I had a blast, the view was amazing watching all the big ships passing and the speed boats racing each other. The sea breeze was absolutely perfect. The location of the house was perfect, we had a good time and will definitely be back!

Dream Spot for Dog Lovers

Loved everything about this property. Little studio apartment on first floor, 2 bedrooms and pullout on 2nd. Booked for 7 days ended up staying 14. The best thing is it was a fenced in big yard that our three dogs got to run around, as the adults watched the sunrise and enjoying the bay view. Neighbors are only on one side, nice lot next door.. Owner was always available if you had a question. Close to all restaurants and bar and yoga studio around the corner with fishing or sun bathing. We always travel with 2 sets sheets to cover furniture. Looking forward to next time. Niko

Relaxing Get Away

We really enjoyed our stay here. As described other places, there are two somewhat separate living spaces, which is worth pointing out. We liked having separate space downstairs & close to outdoors and upstairs. Communication with the host was great. The small beach nearby was nice. My only complaint is that the air conditioning was turned completely off before our arrival. It took quite some time to get it to a comfortable level on a hot summer day.

San Leon December 2022

The lock on the front gate was tricky especially because we arrived after dark, but Mike answered my call promptly. He said the lock was being replaced the following week with an easier use model. The house and property was very clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We did not use the downstairs bedroom/bath/rec room. The view from the balcony was very nice. Everything in the living areas worked fine. The neighborhood was quiet, an average middle income street. We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. We had no issues other than the mosquitos at the gate!

We rolled in around 10:30pm (weather delays plus dinner with four kids had us behind schedule) and thankfully my husband was awake enough to read the instructions on opening the gate by headlight. The second we opened the front door we were immediately hit with a blast of much welcomed cold air. Michael had turned the thermostat down for us remotely so the house was nice and cold, and great for sleeping. We got all the kids settled for the night and carted in our belongings like pack mules. As many trips as we made, the house stayed cold even as we were running in and out.I reached out the next morning asking questions about the oyster house down the road and even though he didn’t know the answer to my question, Michael was quick to offer me some additional places to purchase fresh, local seafood. The house was appointed wonderfully. Plenty of pillows and blankets, towels and board games, even some unexpected kitchen items! We knew beforehand what was offered by way of “beach equipment”. I had reached out a few days prior. With each question he was prompt to reply and extremely helpful with each response. The one thing that surprised me the most was that the hot water heater lasted long enough for seven people (four kids, three adults) to get a hot shower! We are already planning a return trip back and can’t wait to stay again. The location is phenomenal. The town is great. I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay.

Great stay in San Leon

My family and I wanted to head south to be closer to the water while our son attended space camp at the Johnson Space Center when we discovered this great place just 11 miles from our son's camp. Mike was great when we asked to extend our stay and super helpful when we had questions and asked for recommendations about where to eat in the area. Watching the sunrise each morning was a highlight of our stay. Overall I would recommend this place for a family - even our French bulldog had a great time. Definitely check this one out.

The home was very clean and had all the necessities that you desire when traveling (fully stocked kitchen, dish soap, laundry soap, trash bags). The beds were very comfy and the home had plenty of space. The location was really relaxing and we enjoyed watching the boating activities on the bay from the deck. We have family in the area and we won't hesitate to book this home again.

Our family had a great time. It was all made possible by the attention to detail by Michael and his team. We have the habit of packing everything we need, we were pleasantly surprised that everything was already provided from dishes to paper towels.
