The house was perfect! Plenty of room to spread out, open living/kitchen floor plan. Loved relaxing on the front porch, it was peaceful and shaded with a lovely breeze. And so close to the beach, a short walk! Will definitely look for this house again on future trips to Galveston!

Adorable home

Adorable home in Jamaica Beach! Plenty of space for 5 adults and 6 children. Loved that the kids had their own space and bunk beds! We were able to walk to the beach or stay in and enjoy the hot tub! Great place to stay and Andrew was very helpful!

Perfect getaway!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here during spring break. The property was very clean, location is great, and the property owner was quick with communicating. We loved the marina down the road where you can get some drinks, food, or souvenirs from the gift shop. Since it was chillier than usual, the hot tub came in handy! Overall this was a wonderful home and would highly recommend.

Fun family getaway

Makin Waves was the perfect place for our family getaway! Plenty of room for all of us, our pups, and the grandparents too. A quick walk to the beach, well appointed rooms, and an easy check in process made this stay effortless. Communication with Andrew was quick, efficient, and thorough. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. We will be back!

Amazing beach weekend! Even during Fall!

Our stay was perfect for an extended family getaway! I can be a little bit of a clean freak- but this house was spotless! Just like the photos! The location is also one of my favorites on the island; a beautiful and calm neighborhood with amenities and a very short walk to the beach (less than 5 min). We were a little nervous about it being too chilly in October, but the hot tub was a huge bonus. It was very nice to hop in and wind down after a long day. We will definitely be booking this property again next time we are in Galveston!

My sons 16th birthday

We came down to Galveston, for my sons 16 birthday , with family and friends. The house was clean and had a great setup. Convenient location great neighborhood love the fact there is a restaurant in the neighborhood. Great amenities, downstairs was a hit with the kids. Beach is within walking distance. The kitchen is a nice size and has everything u could need to cook your family a hot meal. Hope to come back soon
