We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and in a perfect location. We enjoyed fishing off of the deck. Access to the kayaks was super fun. It was a little buggy, well actually the mosquitos were quite overwhelming at times, we always had to have an exit strategy when getting out or in the car!! It was better on the deck and patio, but definitely bring bug spray!Lots of room for our party of 7.Really close to the beach, which was great and not too bad of a drive down to Galveston Pier.

This house was the perfect setup for a family or friend's getaway. The decor was nice and the seating and bedrooms were very comfortable. The decks and downstairs covered area were awesome and the extras offered (fishing poles, beach items, etc.) were great. The kitchen was big and clean and offered all the necessities.

We had a group of 5 adults and two teenagers and we had an incredible stay at this property. There is so much space to relax, play games, grill, kayak, and plenty of space for the dog to run around in the fenced in yard. The house is exactly as advertised and we will be staying again!

We had a wonderful stay overall! The house is beautifully located with gorgeous scenery and such a relaxing atmosphere for families. My kids absolutely loved being outside, and the fishing lights at night were a huge highlight for all of us. There were lots of amenities that made the trip enjoyable, and the outdoor seating areas were perfect for relaxing and spending time together.We did run into a few issues during our stay, but management was notified and seemed very proactive about addressing and fixing them, which we appreciated. Overall, it was a beautiful place to make family memories and enjoy time on the water.

Great home. Clean, new and lots of fun amenities. The boat slip is wider and taller thank most of the surrounding options and was large enough to accommodate my 23' bay boat with a t-top. Great communication. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous time. The boys enjoyed fishing in the canal and catching crabs in the crab traps. The kayaks were a hit and the hot tub was constantly in use. The couch on the lower patio was great for naps in the afternoons! Bring bug spray for the evenings! Those mosquitos are wicked at dusk!! Sunrise on the deck is beautiful! The queen bed is very noisy but comfortable. No complaints on any of the other beds. Highly recommend renting a golf cart to drive to the beach and around the neighborhood. This is our second time staying in Jamaica Beach. Nice and quiet community and nice beach. Bonus: Walmart delivers to Jamaica Beach! No need to tote your groceries from home. Just place an order to be delivered after you arrive. They’ll even carry them up the stairs for you!
