Perfect for us!

We wanted a place on the water (the canals) but still close to the beach (just across the road from the neighborhood). Very cozy home that was setup just how we wanted and owners were very responsive. We will be back!

Great location

We had a wonderful weekend at this home. This is our first time staying on the bay side and we loved the extra activities that provided. Night kayaking and all day fishing. We would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Lina Singleton

Greetings from The Singletons! We are a family of four from Salt Lake City, Utah and are SO grateful to own our very own vacation home. Living in the mountains is incredible ... however, the ocean is always calling. Having our own 'escape' has been a dream of ours for years. While visiting Jamaica Beach for the first time, we immediately knew Texas was a place similar to Utah ... an amazing community with friendly people. It is AWESOME. We hope you enjoy your stay in our home just as much as we do!
