About this property

RightOnTheBeachVR: FRONT ROW Jamaica Beach 5BR 3bath, Stunning Views, Huge Decks

Gorgeous, Front Row, vacation rental is truly RIGHT ON THE BEACH, thus the name: "RightOnTheBeachVR." The backyard of this beach house is literally the beach!

Best Location in Galveston: family-friendly Jamaica Beach. The beach is literally just steps from the rear of this amazing home! Sit on one of the huge decks and watch the kids play on the beach.

Remodeled in 2024.

City of Jamaica Beach STR Reg. No: 25-0000233.

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.

New tankless hot water system.

There are 2 separate Air Conditioning systems. One new as of April 2025 and the other Jan 2023.

Downstairs, additional outdoor hot & cold shower and stall for rinsing after returning from the beach.

Perfect for multiple families.

Well-equipped kitchen.

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.

The owners have made numerous improvements, including premium vinyl plank flooring; new decks and handrailings; new fascia and soffits; new hurricane windows; new tankless hot water system; new solid core, 5 panel doors; new paint in & out; new textured granite (with a gorgeous peninsula slab); new big screen HD TV (with premium cable/Netflix/Amazon/Xbox One S w/ plenty of games for the kids and teens); Televisions in all 5 bedrooms; imported teak dining table & teak chairs; new lighting; new linens and towels; all premium bedding; fully stocked kitchen; and more.

The property is exactly as promised. You cannot get any closer to the beach. It was a stunning view. The home was gorgeous with huge sliding doors that opened up onto a wraparound porch. It was the perfect location for a three generation family vacation. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

Family vacation

First time in Galveston with our family of 8. Was a 15-20 minute drive to attractions via seawall drive.Property was nice a little outdated from the pictures we viewed. It could have been cleaned better. However, it was large, and the owners were very easy to contact. We did have problem with the ac not working and the owners had it fixed asap on a Sunday!! Overall, was a nice property and enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sabrina

Host profile image
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.
