Apartment near Kemah Boardwalk; WIFI; Cable; Pool;

Great water views of the Galveston Bay are easily seen! Early morning or late evening, if you love fishing, its best done off the pier. Prefer swimming then check out the pool all while looking at the ships sailing along the Ship Channel which is a great sight! The pelicans flying overhead lets you know you are at the heart of the Galveston coastline! Experience an amazing coastal sight!
