A wonderful new cement border of decking is perfect for fishing off your own pier. Bring your boat and tie off in the slip.Two kayaks are provided for a relaxing canal cruise while catching your own fish dinner. Overlook the canal while dining and sipping on a cool beverage or fishing off the amazing new concrete decking.

We enjoyed being right on the water to fish and kayak in the mornings and evening but also close to the beach. Easy to get to restaurants but also well stocked with utensils, pans, etc to cook on site.

Canal fun!

This is our second stay in this house. The house is spacious, lots of room with bunk beds and fully stocked kitchen. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Just a short drive to the beach, but there is plenty to do on the canal with paddle board and kayaks. You will love this place!

The host communicated quickly. Place is as described and didn’t need any assistance during our stay. Has everything you need to have an amazing vacation with family and friends. Plenty of space to spread out but still very cozy. Definitely would choose again.

Great Experience

Myself, my wife and some other couples stayed here for the weekend and had a great time. We thoroughly enjoyed all the various sitting areas, the access to the channel, the easy trip to the beach, and convenience of nearby Galveston. Everything was clean and well maintained and Kathy made everything very easy and was accommodating in our last minute request to check-in a little early. We would definitely do it again in the future!

Fun time! Good location.

My family had a great time. We loved the location. Not in high traffic areas but close enough to everything. Loved that the beach access was so close and could drive our vehicle onto beach. There were a couple of questions and the property manager/owner was quick to answer/address. Perfect location for enjoying coffee on the deck, view the water and to see the birds catch their breakfast. Nice property. We cooked all our meals (except 1) at the house for 8 people. If visiting soon, be prepared to wait at a restaurant. This property was perfect for meals “at home”.

Great Stay in Jamaica Beach

What a great weekend we had at this property. My husband, 2 children, and dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are so many outdoor areas to enjoy and relax. My children played the available sand bag toss and horse shoes games. It was so nice to see them put down devices and have fun outdoors. We also fished and grilled which was so much fun. Kayaks and life jackets are also available. At the end of each night we gathered to watch movies on the comfortable couches. The beds were also very comfortable. The property has everything you need. The weather wasn’t ideal during our stay so we are already looking to see when we can come back and do it all over again.

Okay but …..

Smaller than expected. Yard area was nice but mosquitoes were awful so we couldn’t sit outdoors at all. Canal was full of trash. Some dishes were put in cabinets dirty. Kitchen was Adequately stocked. Door knobs need tightened. Price per night is high for this accommodation.

Very fun house!

First of all Kathy is amazing, she is very responsive with any information you might need. The house was exactly as it was presented in the listing. We went with our daughter and her family, the grandkids were never board (which is a tall feet for kids age 6,10,and 13 ) the games at the house were so much fun! We spent a lot of time kayaking in the canals with the kayaks and paddle boards provided at the house. The only negatives would be there are not enough towels for a large group with small kids (we did have the ability to wash them in the washer and dryer provided) and the beds were a little hard for our taste but not awful. Over all the positives far out weighed the negatives and we would definitely stay here again.

Birthday trip

We had a nice stay at this property. But when we arrived, the freezer was not producing water or ice and was not fixed while we were there. Which wasn’t a big deal. We just bought a bag of ice. Then we had an issue with the a/c not cooling properly. The property manager quickly sent someone out to fix the problem, and he even followed up the next day. The property manager was very responsive to any questions we had. It would’ve been nice if the owner had a “welcome” book for renters that gave us info on things such as how to use the tv and ac; and give us the location of the pool etc. our stay overall was nice but because I’d a few small issues, I’m not sure we would rent this property again.

The house was a little dated but overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house was equipped with the necessity you need for a very low key weekend. During my stay I did not reach out to the host as there were no issues and had no questions.

What a great house to be at. Jamaica Beach is where it’s at! The house provided lots of fun especially all the fishing gear and green lights they had on the bulk head area. The property was very well cared for; clean, new items like the coffee maker and microwave. We appreciated the refrigerator with easy access to ice cubes, crushed ice and water. Thank you for sharing your property with us!
