This large, 2,100 sf home is unique because it’s all on 1 level. And it’s located on a large lot (1/3rd acre), so there is lots of room for the kids to play outside while you enjoy privacy, space, & unobstructed Gulf of America views.
The massive decks, which extend all around this house, are huge: over 1,300 sf of total deck area (with plenty of shaded areas) - so all can enjoy. The main level, rear deck is very spacious: over 50 ft long & 12 ft deep. That’s 600 sq ft! And there’s plenty of shade. Also it couldn’t be any closer to the soothing Gulf waters. Plus there's a large upper "Captain's Deck" above the home with incredible, unobstructed ocean views.
Sleeps 14 (3 kings, 2 Fulls & 6 Twin beds). There are 5 bedrooms & 2.5 bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are very large.
All beds are have newer, high quality mattresses.
This home is located in beautiful and family-friendly Jamaica Beach. You can't beat the location - just 10 mins from Galveston attractions, but in quiet, fun, safe, Jamaica Beach. Plus, this beach house sits on one of the rare, premier lots in all of JamaicaBeach.
Open floor plan with updated furnishings everywhere.
The home’s interior has been fully remodeled. The decks & ungraded hurricane windows were upgraded as well.
Full washer & dryer in the laundry room.

We supply beach towels as well as towels for showering. And we typically have a couple of Boogy-Boards and 4 beach chairs available. Plastic toys for the little ones are almost always available.
There's a BBQ grill for outdoor grilling (bring your own charcoal). Please discard your unused charcoals in the trash once they cool so that the grill is ready for the next guests. And pls don't throw your used charcoals in the yard (yup, more than 1 guest has done that).
Also, you do not need a golf cart as you are literally only about 20 steps to the beach.
In addition, Jamaica Beach Police frequently patrol the beach, so the beach area is always family-friendly and fun.

Absolutely loved this property. The house was so lovely, pictures don’t do it justice. So much space and perfect for families - the proximity to the beach is beyond amazing. Kitchen has everything you could need to feed a big group. 10/10 would stay here again!!!!
RightOnTheBeach is a great vacation property. The hosts, Sabina and Mike, do everything they can to ensure your experience at their home the best ever. To start, you can have no better access to the beach with exceptional views and a very comfortable home in every respect. We have stayed at several Galveston/Jamaica Beach homes, and none of them compare.
GREAT stay! GREAT location! Host was easy to communicate with. House was well laid out and felt bigger than the Sq Footage noted. Great deck area!. Well maintained and clean property. We hope to return to this property in the future.
Wonderful and perfect place for our family Christmas. We all enjoyed the wraparound deck and the upper deck. Views and beach access excellent. Well thought out floor plan, kitchen well stocked, very clean and modern. Would rent again if the opportunity comes up.
The view was amazing, and the house was spotless. However, during heavy rain, the garage fills with water, making it impossible to access your car unless you enjoy wading through six inches of water. Additionally, the grill was unusable due to mold and old food.Besides that, it was a great stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2026
Sorry to hear about the big storm that hit during your stay. As the beach house is right-on-the-beach, when unusually heavy rains hit, we have pumps that keep the driveway free of water. Pls call us if that should ever happen again as we can check the pumps. You’re the 1st guest we’ve heard from with this issue. Pizza’s are on us during your next visit!
We’ve rented multiple properties, and this one had the best-equipped kitchen by far! The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of seating, inside and out. Sabrina was quick to respond to every question and concern. I would highly recommend this property!
Beach view is exceptional - "right on the beach". The host, Sabrina, is a big part of the reason we keep coming back to this home. She works so hard to make the beach property like your home for the week. Every time we come, they have done something to enhance guests' stay.
The location is perfect. Deck comfy but wish cover extended a little more to East. 5 bedrooms a plus
Kitchen not as well equipped as other beach houses I have stayed in but adequate. We like this house very much and hope to come many more years. We are from West Texas and have been coming to Galveston over 50 years. 4 generations!
The beach house is just as its listed! It was so easy to access the beach. The beds were comfortable. The house was CLEAN! She has everything thaat you need there. We had 6 adults and 6 kids from 2-11. It was suitable for everyone.

About the host
Hosted by Sabrina
My name is Sabrina. My husband Mike and I are parents, recent grandparents, and beach lovers.
I love visiting our beach house to relax, unwind, and have all of my worries washed away by the intoxicating sounds and aromas of the waves that are right off of our back deck.
I also enjoy decorating. And I wanted our beach house to be clean, bright, open, inviting, and family friendly.
Why they chose this property
We bought this beach house 5 yrs ago because we love being RightOnTheBeach! We fell in love with home's front row location as well as the open concept floor plan. And we think Jamaica Beach is the very best area in all of Galveston. It's close to downtown and yet is not overly crowded ... it's really the gem of Galveston. Most Galveston attractions are just 10 mins or so away.
We love walking right out the back and being on the beach in seconds. And we really enjoy talking long walks in the beach, barefoot, and walking in 6" or so of water for miles and miles. It's truly amazing
What makes this property unique
It's Right On The Water. The ocean is right in the backyard. Unobstructed Ocean/Gulf views are everywhere in this large open concept vacation rental called "RightOnTheBeachVR."
Plus this home is relatively large (about 2,100) and it's on ONE LEVEL. This means that you won't be climbing stairs continuously throughout your vacation (like you would in most other vacation rentals in Galveston).
There are some 14 steps to get up the main level. That's it ... there are no more stairs to climb (unless you're adventurous and want to go up to the "Captain's Deck," which is a secondary upper deck at the rear, or beach-side of the home). And there's plenty of shaded areas of the rear deck area.
Sitting on the massive decks and looking out at the unobstructed Gulf views is breath-taking! The sound of the waves is uniquely soothing and relaxing. Watching the kids and teens playing on the beach and in the water never gets old. Of course, we love going into the water and floating as the waves lift us up and over. On most days, you'll see lots of amazing pelicans.
