Perfect property for our beach/fishing getaway! We loved fishing on the canal, and the short drive to Jamaica beach was perfect! The house had great ourdoor space for hanging out, and nice cool AC after a hot day at the beach!
This was my 2nd stay at the property and I was prepared this time and had a extension cord for the outside TV. Only to find out that the screen is broke. One of the TVs didn't work in the downstairs rooms either. The light in the pool only worked in the day time. Although none of these were deal-breakers for us because we love the house it was plenty of space perfect area to teach the kids how to fish and crab we enjoyed ourselves, this was for our Thanksgiving vacation.

We appreciate your review Charleen. Our goal is that every guest would have a 5-star experience and when we fall short, we take that feedback very seriously. We will address the concerns you raised with our team. We hope to host you again soon.
Plenty of parking, there's a great amount of beds, privacy was perfect. There is plenty of areas to just chill. Few things to bring: can opener if you're cooking anything in can, an extension cord long-the TV downstairs outside at the picnic table was not plugged in nor near a plug. Be careful on the deck while fishing there are like 2 boards on the low side that I almost fell in because they go all the way down in the water. If you use k-pods bring your Keurig. OH and quite a few outlets upstairs are not working, so find the ones that do and use those. Host was very helpful and everything was good , I'll be staying again in November so I'm prepped on what to bring.

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.
The accommodations were great! There was plenty of room for everyone. There was plenty of things to do at the house, swimming in the pool and fishing from the pier.

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.
house was great for our overall stay. We could tell the house was a older home, but I belive we got a good value.

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your feedback! We're pleased to hear that the house served you well during your stay. While we acknowledge that it's an older home, we're delighted that you found it to be a good value. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
We had an amazing weekend at this rental! The property manager was extremely communicative and responsive after booking, prior to check-in, during our stay, and after check-out. The home was absolutely beautiful and spaciously accommodated our big family! I loved that we were able to have everyone under one roof. The kids enjoyed the amenities. The multiple decks and swimming pool were a huge bonus! Plenty for the family to do. The neighborhood was nice, clean and safe! Perfect location for families. We loved our stay at this home and definitely plan to return!

Thanks for your review! We love hearing from our guests. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
This Jamaica Beach house was great! There were 14 of us there and we had an amazing time fishing off the dock and enjoying time on the back porch overlooking the canal! The house was very clean! I had to communicate with the owner during our stay and he replied quickly!

Mary-Kate - It sounds like you had a fantastic time at the Jamaica Beach house! Fishing off the dock and enjoying the view from the back porch must have added to the overall experience. I'm glad to hear that the house was clean and that the owner was responsive to your needs. If you have any more details or insights to share about your stay, or if there's anything specific you'd like to highlight, feel free to let me know. Your feedback can be helpful for others considering a similar getaway.
We had a girls weekend and we enjoyed ourselves! We had the best time hanging by the pool and it was so relaxing! There was plenty of room to accommodate our group of 14 and the place was clean. It’s the perfect distance away from the city life but just a short distance to Galveston!

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.
We arrived late and it was super easy to get settled in. We couldn't have asked for a better quick trip. Everything in the house was clean and comfortable.

It was a pleasure to host you and thanks for the review Melissa. We'd love to host you again!
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!!
