We had a good time but the home needs work. We had a lot of fun at this home on Jamaica Beach. We enjoyed the pool a lot, which is the main reason we chose this home. However the home was very dirty and in disrepair (many lights didn’t work, loose rotted boards on the deck were a hazard, dart board was unusable, and the bathrooms were not in good condition). Besides the pool, the amenities were not good. The positive things are that the house can sleep a lot of people and since it’s on the canal and has a boat slip, it works well for bringing a boat to take quick trips out to the bay. Overall we enjoyed our time there but next time we would probably choose a different house.

This property definitely needs some love. The deck upstairs is super loose and wobbles as you walk. Many of the boards on the stair railing is loose and comes off. The wash machine is full of mold and smells terrible. The location of the home is perfect with proximity to the water and the beach.

DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE!!!The fridge did not work when we arrived didn’t know and spoiled our food. It didn’t work for our trip so we had to eat out and coat a lot more money. Beach box refused to give us any money back it cost us over 400. I told them I was going to share my feedback they did nothing to help me. The house is very shaky the decks are warped and falling in the water.

I wanted to take a moment to share our experience during our recent stay at your property. Overall, we enjoyed our time, especially the pool and the fishing on property.However, there were a few areas that we felt could use some improvement. We noticed that the cleanliness of the place did not meet our expectations upon arrival. Additionally, the refrigerator was not functioning properly, which resulted in us having to throw away some spoiled fruit. We believe it would be beneficial to have it replaced.Lastly, we encountered some raccoons that seemed to have taken up residence in the garage. They would venture upstairs looking for food during the night, which was quite concerning.We appreciate your attention to these matters and hope that our feedback is helpful for future guests. Thank you for your hospitality!

Pre-cruise

I had a large group of 10 staying the night prior to a cruise out of Galveston the following morning. The house was PERFECT!! It was clean, comfortable, and so cute! We just wish the rainy, cold weather weren’t a factor as we would have loved to spend time out by the pool or the beautiful decks. The house was wonderful and our host was very quick to answer my questions. A wonderful experience!!

Would stay again

There were certain details of the property that we didn’t like (fridge not working properly, mold in the building and in the washer, some furniture being damaged), but we overlooked those details and made it work. We still very much enjoyed our stay and given the opportunity we probably would stay there again.

Overall Great Stay

The house was great for our readers retreat, With many beds to accommodate everyone in our group to have their own bed. It was a group of 10 and not all beds were used. One room on the lower level was hot, it had an AC window unit. It did not bother us because no one slept in there but I went in there several times and it was hot in there each time. Two rooms were on the lower level separate fromThe house with its own entrance. That was sort of a downer for us because we wanted to be together, but it was OK. I must’ve missed that part in the description of the house, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker besides that the house is perfect for any questions and concerns I had I got a quick response from host. I would love to stay here again in the summer if they fix the AC unit in that hot room because I loved the amount of vets it has. I would recommend for big families and groups.

I recently stayed at this home on a canal in Jamaica Beach. It was an incredible experience. The fishing was amazing. In the evening, we enjoyed drinks and cooked up a delicious fish dinner. The house was clean and comfortable, and had a great outdoor area for relaxing.
