Quaint

This is a quaint comfortable cottage. The patio has a nice view as well as the balcony. We had our 5 pound Maltipoo with us and the host allowed us to leave her for a few hours so we could go to the Space Center. We enjoyed our stay.

La petite Maison est très belle!

Don and Nancy are kind people and La Petite Maison is a wonderful place to stay. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the HUGE deck on the waterfront, clean and comfortable accommodations, and much of what the area has to offer for food, shopping, and entertainment. We look forward to visiting again!

Cozy Cottage

Loved the wood beams and ceilings downstairs and wood floors upstairs. Only bath on first floor with only bedroom on second floor was a bit challenging but the access to very nice deck on the bay made it worth it. Would go back if circumstance presented itself.

A surprise!

We had to cancel an RV trip due to brake problems and found this little gem just south of Kemah. The hosts provided us lots of good info on things to do and where to eat. When we had questions about the cottage, they responded with helpful answers very quickly. The location was great and we spent lots of time on the balcony and the patio, reading and watching Galveston Bay. We enjoyed our stay and heartily recommend it.

Inconvenience

Too long of a walk to get to pier. Bed upstairs and troublesome to go up and down to use restroom. No cable upstairs just downstairs. Top deck just able to see side of water. Had to park on side of street. Was not a good stay.

Lovely respite

Our stay at La Petit Maison was amazing. We were in between homes just sold ours and about to buy another one, but somehow we found this tranquil little place. So interesting with its character and attention to detail and the renters needs. There is a full kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven.. amazing. We spent the week of Christmas which involved wrapping gifts packing and unpacking, and had all the room we needed. The upstairs is devoted to bedroom with a wonderfully inviting king size bed, TV and functional desk.. plus two closets. I will also include that the bathroom especially the shower was more than adequate. Great hot and cold, good water pressure. Excellent. I haven't even mentioned the gorgeous water view, plus the use of the owners patio. Our pups enjoyed that so much!!.. Just a 180 degree view of beautiful bay water. Nicest place in Bayview!!

Hidden Petit Gem!

First, I would like to address the issue of "La Petit". While yes, it is small, it does not mean it is without comfort. This little place was so comfortable it surprised me. I read in another review an individual had issues with the restroom being too small. As is stated in the description, the restroom is the size of a ship. This is completely accurate. However, there was plenty of room for me to maneuver and get around, and I'm 280 lbs+ and 100% disabled from the military. If anyone should have problems, it would be me and there were no issues whatsoever. My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The queen size bed had a memory foam top on it which was so comfortable with two huge feather pillows. There is more than enough lighting and fans. Even though it had window units, it was always very comfortable and rather on the cool side when it was 107* outside. It was just a little walk out to the pier and very relaxing. Fishing was excellent. We caught plenty of hard heads and croaker, but my wife caught a 21” redfish and I got a black drum once we figured out what we were doing. The landlord was even excited for us. (very nice people by the way) There are neighboring houses, but nobody bothered you. As a matter of fact, I hardly saw anyone. The apartment is behind the main house, but there is still a huge view of the ocean from the balcony. It was just so calm and peaceful. And if you wanted to watch TV, there was a TV downstairs, a TV upstairs free high speed Wi-Fi. There was also plenty of storage space with two closets. This “La Petit Maison” is very cute and charming. I would definitely recommend it and I would definitely go back.

This was an incredible stay for a trip of fishing and relaxation! This property was perfectly peaceful!! I read and watched the water while my husband fished, and we could not have picked a better place!! The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular!! The owners were on site and a phone call away if we needed anything, but we did not! Most special part was on Friday night, there were fireworks at the Kemah Boardwalk, and we could see them from the property so easily! We will certainly return, and I’m counting down the days until then!

Stayed here for a family reunion. Our family rented several houses in this area. We had a wonderful time here. It was great coming back to this house at the end of the day, super clean, and a great bed. Having a super comfie bed makes a huge difference! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks to hosts❤️
