Jamaica Beach has access to the Gulf side as well as the Bay side (house dependent) and also has its own fire and police department plus city park with pool. Jamaica Beach's boat launch is restricted. If you plan on bringing a boat, the closest public launch is at Waterman's off Stewart Road about 3 miles east of Jamaica Beach.

Getting Around:
WEST END AREA:
It's always Island "Vacation" Time on Galveston's West End!
Come visit and enjoy ALL the outdoor adventures you could want! Watch dolphins, fish from the pier (or from one of our canal, bay or beachside rental homes), surf the waves, kayak, beach comb and soak up the sun and sea air. And after a day of activities, stop by one of the nearby popular hangouts - The West End Marina & Restaurants, The Waterman Seafood Grill and/or Cafe Michael Burger for a fun atmosphere to enjoy snacks, cocktails or meal!

Girls Trip
Annual college friends Girls Trip! The house was amazing! Loved the large kitchen! Room for everyone to gather and hang out! Stocked with everything we needed! Loved both the porches! We stayed outside a lot and enjoyed the water views! It was really nice having a restroom downstairs by the water! Would definitely stay there again!!

Great Views and Location
A beautiful property with an outstanding kitchen. Amazing views of wildlife in the morning and evening of the marsh. The canal was nice and clean with great swimming and kayaking. Easy access to the bay by boat opened up more activities. Some deferred maintenance needs to be repaired, but nothing major.

The Jolly Roger - Family Vacation
We had the best experience staying at the Jolly Roger. The home was everything they said it was and more. The 979 group was easy to communicate with and always accessible. The homely was recently renovated and the owners spared no expense. Very roomy and comfortable. We will definitely be back. - Mike
