Waterfront! Family getaway/fisherman's base camp!

'Cottage by the Bay' is a place where families can enjoy their time on the canal with our complimentary 'Lily Pad' float, Kayaks, and Stand-Up Paddle Board. We have included boogie-boards and Beach Chairs for your use as well! Both young and old alike will enjoy fishing from the backyard, with lights provided for night fishing. Take a kayak on a kayak trail through nearby "Galveston Island State Park" (We provide life vests at no cost). Swim in the canal (we recommend wearing water shoes), or have a day of boating right from our boat slip (additional $10.00 a day for boat slip use) or simply spend the afternoon grilling by the water or relaxing on the deck. The City of Jamaica Beach pool is typically open 6 days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and charges $5/person for a day pass.) We are happy to offer a 10% discount for extended stays of 5 days or more!

Our private dock is equipped with a fish cleaning table with water to clean fish and/or rinse off after the beach or a dip in the canal. Trout, red fish, drum, and several other varieties are frequently caught from our deck!

Above all else, 'Cottage by the Bay' is a place to get away for a while, relax, and enjoy life with each other!

Jamaica Beach also has it's own community pool and private marina and boat ramp, Regatta Basin, a community pavilion and playground. The City of Jamaica Beach pool is typically open 6 days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and charges $5/person for a day pass.)

Boat launch has a fee of $10 for each day the ramp is used - please let us know as early as possible if you will be purchasing a permit as it takes 3-4 days to process via the city.
