"We had only a few days of vacation and wanted to spend it in a quiet laid-back place with a beautiful view. Wow! We found what we wanted at Terry and Jeanne Hudson’s Sunset Bungalow on Galveston Bay." D. Booth Irving, TX
"We loved the beach house as we (my husband, two small daughters) stayed there to bring in 2011. It is a great layout for a family and entertaining. The beds are very comfortable and the furnishing are very cute. The house was immaculately clean!

Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Jamaica Beach
Our local Realtor friend showed us a home they had their eyes on for several years. Unable to make the purchase due to other commitments, they reluctantly showed us what we've now named 'Sunset Bungalow.' The moment we saw it (even in it's damaged condition) we fell in love with it and had to have it. We've always wanted to continue where we left off in the VI and it's a dream come true. A unique home to share with guests and family.
As the name implies, it has an unfettered view of Jubilee Bay and the adjacent wetlands.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Visitors will enjoy one-of-a kind Sunsets just about everyday, as there are no other homes to obstruct your view of the wetlands and bay. Everything New November-December 2009. Fishing and crabbing right from you own covered dock.
Free sunset cruise on our party barge, weather and time permitting for all weekly rentals. Some restrictions apply.
Private location
15 minutes from Seawall Blvd. and 61st. St.
The Beach in Jamaica Beach is just a 3 minute drive or an entertaining walk.
Grocery, fuel, gift shopping, marina, hardware and restaurants are all located in Jamaica Beach.
Launch your boat and leave your trailer here. Park your boat at our lighted dock.
A short 3 minute walk to the Jamaica Beach park and playground gives you a pleasant and entertaining activity. Watch for migrating birds on your right in the wetlands.
Jamaica Beach is a prime sharks tooth hunters location. You can drive on the beach after 7p.m. Sunday until Friday at 6 p.m., but not on weekends. Jamaica Beach is one of the few Galveston County
At the end of Seawall Blvd, behind the new Condo's, there is a very nice view of the beach area few people know about.
Local eatery serving burgers, sandwiches, seafood and steaks. 5 minutes
Bluewater Grill, Ace Hardware, Liquor Store, Citgo & Valero Convenience stores, Buck's Sports Bar, City of Jamaica Beach, and Galveston Island Real Estate office.
Owner's Map of Jamaica Beach
We were lucky enough to be able to take an 8 year Sabbatical and sailed our boat Osprey from Kemah, TX to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. We loved the laid back lifestyle and stayed 8 years. Having 2 sets of friends that owned beach homes in Jamaica Beach, it was an easy decision for us to land here.
Hurricane Ike gave us a punch. It took 7 months of rebuilding to get our main home back in shape, but it was also an opportunity to find good values on homes that owners pretty much just left behind.
And that brings us to the present... we found the perfect location, spent 5 months doing a complete rebuild and now, we want to share it with you and other vacationers.

Review Submitted: 12/08/11
The property is large and well-stocked and extremely clean (especially for a pet-friendly home). The house has everything you would need to accomodate up to 10 guests comfortably. The owners are fabulous and very easy to work with. The location is wonderful and the neighborhood is safe and very quiet. The neighborhood even has a great park for children to play just down the street. My family had a fantastic time this past weekend and we will definately book this place again in the future!!!
Owner response:Thank you Anne. Anne, you're holding back a little info. I'm letting it out of the bag. Folks, Anne got married at our home during her stay. Congratulations Anne! Wish you guys the best and a long, happy & prosperous life together. Terry & Jeanne Hudson

We had a wonderful time. The location was awesome and the sunsets can’t even be explained. The turkey was delicious and the memories are beyond words. Seven Sea's grocery store is just a few miles and has everything you can imagine and very good quality. You are close enough to enjoy the sites but far enough to feel like you are in paradise! The house was very clean, and the photos just don’t show how cute it really is. The deck was a great extra place to hang out and watch all of the birds fly to and from the sanctuary. The fishing lights were also a great added feature as the fun didn’t have to stop because the sun went down. How awesome to have been able to include our dogs with in our plans as they are a huge part of our family as well. What fun we had and can’t wait to go back again!

Was the most relaxed, calming trip to Galveston ever!! We invited a few family & friends down for the weekend and it was just perfect for all of us. The home was super clean and very well equipped with everything that was needed. We mostly stayed on the huge, wonderful deck that looks out over the wetlands. And the sunsets, OMG.... the last time I saw a sunset so brilliantly orange and absolutely beautiful was in Maui. All the people we met in the area were all so friendly, everyone waving and welcoming! It was also very comforting to see the Jamaica Beach police roam the area each day making sure the community was safe. We did alot of fishing, crabbing, eating, laughing and just great times being made. Received my deposit back within 3 days (including mail time) and the owners are so nice and honest. I will be back and it will be to the Sunset Bungalow, I recommend it to everyone coming to Galveston!
Owner response:Thank you Pam & Milton for such a glowing review. We do our best to keep Sunset Bungalow to high standards and our cleaning crew is the best. We hope to see you again in 2012. Terry Hudson- Owner

We were very pleased with our choice of the sunset bungalow. We stayed for a long weekend with 2 families and had small children along and all of us enjoyed the home. It held up to our expectations and we all had a blast!! Kids and adults alike loved the fishing right from the home and the crab trap! The short distance to the beach was perfect and the beaches on that side of the island were far more superior to the other beaches we've previously visited in Galveston! We were very pleased and hickey recommend this property!

Terry, wanted to let you and your wife know that I did receive my deposit back for Sunset Bungalow. Thank you for being so prompt. I would also like to take a moment to thank you both for allowing my family to the use of your lovely house for our family to use for our get-together. There was plenty of room for all, and the decor and lay out was perfect for us to come and go without tripping over each other. Liked the recycling of boards from old house into new ceiling. Overall, I can't think of anything that would have made our stay any better.

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation thanks to Terry's hospitality. The accommodations were beautiful with an open floor plan that was light and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the dock and patio areas. We were able to fish and swim from the dock while our dinner was grilling. It was definitely home away from home.
Owner response:Hi Janie... really appreciate you taking the time to let us know your family had a great time at the Sunset Bungalow. Hope to see you again. Terry & Jeanne

This house was perfect for our Girl's Weekend. It was super clean!!!! The sunsets were wonderful. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at sunrise with a nice cup of coffee. We have made coming to Galveston something special. No kids and no husbands. This house was just what 4 tired Mom's needed.
Owner response:Hi Sheree. I appreciate your review. We do advertise our home as a great place for Girlfriend Getaways. Thanks so much for letting others know, that they can really unwind & relax. In fact, last year my wife had 7 of her closest friends for a long weekend. They still talk about it. Please come again.

Kat G posted to Sunset Bungalow Facebook fanpage Thanks for everything Terry. Staying at your beautiful sunset bungalow was a wonderful experience. Loved the Crab pots, beach comber bikes, beautiful sunsets and the beach was so close. Loved cooking our fresh caught seafood in the well stocked kitchen. (Had my first ever stone crab claw.) Yummy!

Terry and Jeanne, we had such a wonderful stay at your home! All eight of us fit very comfortably. The separate downstairs bedroom and bath were perfect for my parents. That way, the kids weren't constantly bothering them! I loved staying on the west end of the island - it's so much more peaceful there. The beach was very easy to get to, and not crowded at all. We enjoyed fishing and crabbing right off the deck, even though we didn't catch much! Maybe next time, we'll do better. :-) The house was very clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back!
Owner response:Thank you for the nice review. Jeanne and I enjoy hearing from our guests. See you the next time. Terry & Jeanne Hudson Sunset Bungalow

I visited Galveston to attend my son's wedding. This house allowed me to gather family from out of state close to me and enjoy their company in a way that would not have been possible at a hotel. The six of us had a wonderful time. The house matched the photos posted online -- clean, comfortable and calming. Would I rent this place again? You bet!
Owner response:Thanks Carla... We try hard to make our home a great getaway location. It makes it worth all the hard work involved in making the Sunset Bungalow a home to return to for your next trip to.Galveston. Hope to see you again. Terry and Jeanne
