The proximity to the beach can’t be beat! The double bunk beds were also nice. There are no beach amenities (chairs or towels) which was disappointing for a beach rental. Also not great storage (no dressers, closets full of random stuff like a Christmas tree). Overall it was worth it for the location, but might not be the best fit for someone who wants to feel more settled or have beach amenities.

2 minute walk to beach. Very convenient.I would suggest throw blankets in living and additional blankets on the beds. The AC runs verry cold, we had it at 74, and that was too cold.

Sweet, modest house with excellent access to beach.

The house was modest but clean, and our family was comfortable and felt very safe. Overall, we had a great time playing on the beach and in the gulf, which was exactly what we were looking for.Management responded promptly to our requests and accommodated our needs.

Nice place for a short stay on the beach

Location was great and easy to find. We could see the water/beach while in the front room. Enjoyed the table that could fit my family for meals. The kitchen was great to cook in and I enjoyed the open concept so everyone felt like they were apart of what was going on while in the house. Some minimal cosmetic updates needed but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. We would stay again!

Jamaica Beach 4th of July

We had adults, teens and a toddler stay at the beach house. All enjoyed themselves alot. The short walk to the beach was very convenient. The grille came in handy and it cooled down enough outside at night to eat dinner on the deck which was awesome. I would definitely rent the beach house again and can't wait to come back.

Close to beach

The house is in a great location, second row in and a quick 1 min walk to the beach. The kitchen was nice and the layout was good for our family. However, the house needs some TLC. The floors are kinda wonky, the window by the front door is broken, there are were lots of little things that need fixing. I did see a few bugs during our stay so I feel like the place could use a visit from a pest control company. I love the location but I don't think we will be staying in this particular house again.

Absolutely filthy. Roaches every day, all over the house. HVAC filter and cover corroded Roaches there too. Communicated state of home, requested cleaning be done following day. The 2 "cleaners" arrived before we were informed they were coming, after I was told we would be notified when they were coming. Very awkward to meet them face to face, with the obvious hanging in the air. They should not have NEEDED to be there. If these 2 people were responsible for cleaning this house to prepare for our stay, THEY SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY for lying to their employer, being paid for work they failed to do. 1 of them informed me through phone translater, that they were only going to mop and vacuum, because as she said, "We're busy today." Someone needs to instruct these individuals, that you don't ever, and I mean EVER, address our customers that way! We held up our end of the bargain when all fees were collected from us without incident, which included, a cleaning fee. This home was filthy. The cleaner had 1 bucket for mopping. Properly mopped floors require 2 buckets, 1 for cleaning agent, 2nd is for rinsing, and the 2nd one gets emptied and replaced as often as the water turns dark. She dumped the filthy water into the kitchen sink. You never do that. It goes outside, or in a toilet. They were there about 20 minutes. We demand you return our cleaning fee, as well as 500 for our troubles. I cleaned your house. We were treated disrespectfully in word and deed. Unacceptable.

Fantastic place for getaway!

We'd come back to this house in a heartbeat. Great location just a short walk to the beach, and with a great view of the beach from the porch. Did not mind the lack of a dining room table, as the kitchen island is much larger than it appears in the photos (or at least than it looked to us) and the common room and master bedroom are more spacious than we anticipated. The porch really was fantastic, with several seating options. Kitchen is well-stocked, and the three bedrooms give several good sleeping options for families (including teens who need a little space. And we received an immediate response and information when the water went out for a short while (the city was working on the line, nothing the owners or management could have helped). A great place to stay and a great experience!
