Great get away

This is a great place to stay with family and friends close to beach access and far enough away from wild party life if that’s what you want but close enough you can join as well.

Weekend Get Away

Perfect location with quick beach access. The property was great for my teenage kids to be close to other friends for prom beach weekend. There was a minor issue with the master shower not being warm but Tisha replied quickly. The outdoor patio furniture was a little worn but to be expected with the water/humidity.

Perfect beach house and location!

A Wave Away is the perfect little beach house and is just a few minutes walk to the beach. It is exactly as stated in the description and has everything you could ask for. The beach accessories were put to good use as were the board games. Tisha was a pleasure to work with and was quick to respond to any questions we had about the house or the area. We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return next year!

Totally Amazing

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The owners put a lot of thought into this home making it a home away from home. The house has just about anything you could think of. Everything was of great quality regardless of it being a rental. This house is very well decorated and cozy. The property is in walking distance of the beach. And last but not least, Trish was very communicative with details of the upcoming trip. We were all in awe and will definitely be back. Thank you Trish for a delightful mini vacation!

Wonderful house!

We absolutely loved staying at A Wave Away. It is an extremely well appointed house. Plenty of places for everyone to sleep comfortably. Beautiful kitchen with everything you need. So close to the beach! Easy to find, check in, and check out. Loved all the beach supplies in the garage. Tisha is a dream to work with. It was all just so wonderful. Thank you!!

fabulous weekend

Highly appreciated how well the ac worked. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, short walk to beach, had tons of amenities, ample parking for 5 cars, filled propane tanks to bbq, close to stores and coffee shop. Great communication with host, super easy check in. 10 out of 10. if they were any cons and im just nit picking, didnt have hdmi cable for nintendo system, and top bunkbed mattress was higher than railing, we didnt have anyone sleeping on there. Home away from home, could go on and on about how fabulous it was. Oh and my 13 yo son chose this beach because of the beautiful decor and i love how well the description of the place was written! with all that i didnt find any dust on them.will definitely stay again.

More beautiful than I ever expected.

There were 7 of us including our 12 year old daughter. The video game kept her satisfied enough that we actually got to enjoy our weekend away. We came for the Lone Star Rally and were informed that we would be able to check in early if we wanted since there was no one booked the night before. We were able to do this with no extra charges. The house was equipped with everything we needed to live very comfortably during our visit. My daughter was playing with the digital lock on the front door and accidentally set off the alarm so i had to call the property owners to resolve that small hiccup. I didn't get an answer so i left a message and Trish called me back almost immediately. Even though she was on vacation in the Czech Republic, she and her husband couldn't have been nicer people. The rest of the weekend was wonderful without any needs that weren't met. The house, in itself will definitely bring us back again and again.

The Perfect Home Away From Home!

My husband found the ‘A Wave Away’ beach-house on VRBO, and the pictures were gorgeous! We booked with Tishia, and her courtesy and communication throughout the process were excellent. We ended up needing to postpone, and Tishia was super understanding and made that happen for us. Soon after that, Hurricane Beryl hit and we moved our dates again. Tishia kept in frequent contact about the status of the clean up, power outages, beach closures, etc and it greatly helped in our decision not to cancel altogether. We had great conversations and shared that this was our first family trip to the beach, and would be our daughter’s first time seeing the ocean. When we got to the house, we saw immediately it was even more beautiful in person. The home was immaculate, gorgeously decorated to suit the salt and sea, and there was an unexpected and very sweet surprise when we walked in. It just showed how much thought and care she puts into it. Everything we needed (and many things we never thought of) were in place and ready for use! Lots of space, games, pots and pans (bring your own groceries!), comfortable beds and plenty of bedding, laundry detergent, luxurious bathrooms-this house had it all! It truly felt like a “home away from home”. Our daughter’s favorite part of the house was the Pac-Man arcade game and the jacuzzi tub. We loved how close the beach was, and we really enjoyed sitting on the top deck for the view. We are eagerly looking forward to our next vacation at A Wave Away

This was our 2nd stay here at AWA. We love this home-away-from home, Tisha truly has thought out every want or need you could have, from essentials (toiletries, pots and pans, extra blankets) to fun extras (game station, beach toys, coolers and wagon). The atmosphere is a perfect blend of fun and relaxation. The whole home is decorated in a lovely nautical/beachy theme (honestly my favorite things were the flamingo utensils and dish set!). The beds are very comfortable as well. We brought our daughter last year as a 4 year old, and this year we came with daughters (5 year old and a 6 month old), along with my in-laws. My girls loved going to the top deck for some early morning breakfast and a look-around at the community and ocean. Everyone left rested and relaxed. We love our time here and are looking forward to the next stay here at A Wave Away. We highly and wholeheartedly recommend for your beach vacation!

Jamaica Beach is one of our favorite places to be and this was, by far, our best experience thus far! The home was extremely clean and well equipped. The host was very communicative and courteous. We were so comfortable that we extended our stay for two additional nights, and we’re already planning or next stay!

Home away from home

This property was absolutely adorable and in the perfect location. It has everything you need for the beach and to keep the kiddos entertained, so no need to pack a bunch of extra stuff. It's a very peaceful neighborhood and clean. The house is equipped with everything you need to cook meals and is very spacious. My only complaint is the shower in the master bath has zero pressure, so we had to use the other shower. Everything else was perfect.

Staying at "A Wave Away" was a fantastic experience. Our kids declared that if we go back to Galveston this is the only place to stay ( we have gone three times in the last 8 years). We even had inclement weather and our host made sure that we were where is safe while we were out on the Seawall. We'll definitely use this location again when we go back.
