About this property

A Little Palapa Paradise | Great Views

Unwind and reconnect with nature at this A Little Palapa Paradise, a canal-front getaway in Jamaica Beach, just outside of Galveston, Texas. Canal Retreat is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation home that comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests. Set against panoramic wetland views and offering direct water access, this peaceful escape is ideal for families or groups looking for a tranquil island experience.

Take in the serenity of the Texas Gulf Coast from the expansive deck overlooking the water. Whether you're casting a line from the private dock, tying off your boat after a day on the bay, or enjoying evening breezes under the stars, this home’s outdoor space is designed for true relaxation. The lushly landscaped yard with ambient lighting adds to the magical setting. While there's no pool or hot tub, the natural beauty and water access offer a unique kind of luxury all their own.

Inside, the home is warm and welcoming with farmhouse shiplap walls, wood floors, and an open-concept layout perfect for socializing. Upstairs, you'll find the main living area, a stylishly remodeled kitchen with modern appliances, and a cozy dining area—all with views of the surrounding wetlands. The master bedroom and a second queen bedroom share a full bathroom upstairs, while the downstairs bunk room sleeps five in twin bunks and includes its own bathroom and washer/dryer access.

Unique features include the private boat dock, expansive views of protected wetlands, and a downstairs bunk room that provides flexible sleeping arrangements for larger families or friend groups. The calm waters of the canal are perfect for kayaking, fishing, or simply watching the wildlife.

When it’s time to explore, you're just a 3-minute drive from the beach and within easy reach of Galveston’s top attractions. Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and the iconic Strand Historic District are all just 11 to 15 miles away. The City of Jamaica Beach also offers a seasonal public pool, a playground, and picnic areas. Nearby, you’ll find restaurants, a grocery store, and convenience shops for all your essentials.

Book your stay at Canal Retreat today and enjoy the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and island adventure in Jamaica Beach!

Holiday Beach Vacation

Perfect rental for my husband and me for a holiday get away. Close to family and the beach. Just as described on VRBO. Loved that there was an extending makeup mirror in the bathroom! View was great off of the upper deck, too. Love the Jamaica Beach community.
