About this property
Waterfront Home! Kids/Pet Friendly! Kayaks/Bikes!
* Our boat slip is not available for guests to bring their personal boat. * Garage is not available for guests to park their car inside the garage.
Welcome to Water’s Edge in Jamaica Beach where families can have fun in the sun and shade, in the water and on land! Water views are everywhere from this house that is just around the corner from the bay access. For the water, we have two kayaks, including a fast fishing kayak, a paddleboard, inflatable floats and floating saddle seats. For everyone’s safety, we also have life jackets of various sides including for kids. Want some waves? The beach on the Gulf side is a few minutes away by car, or you can rent a golf cart…either way you can park on the beach so it’s easy to bring beach chairs, toys and boogies boards, all of which is available at the house for your use.
Tired of the water? We have a HUGE dock and covered patio area that features two porch swings, a single swing, a picnic table that’s great for eating dinner together using the new Weber charcoal grill (charcoal provided by the guest), or playing games, and a great wet bar. Love fishing? We have fishing rod holders by the dock and an underwater light that regularly features redfish, trout and more at night. In the garage, challenge each other to games of foosball or darts!
Want to get around the neighborhood or your kids want to do something else? We have three cruiser bikes – two adult and one child’s 24” bike. The yard is gated so pets and young kids can be kept safe from wandering into the cul de sac.
On the large, recently renovated upper deck, we have lounge chairs with new cushions and pillows, an outdoor eating table and Weber gas grill (propane provided by guest) and new umbrella for those sunny days. At night you can enjoy sitting together to watch the shades of sunset change over the bay. We also have a gate to keep kids and pets upstairs.
In the recently updated house, Water’s Edge has windows across the entire water side of the home for a bright open concept living, dining and kitchen area. The large kitchen includes stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and best of all, a wine (or beverage) fridge! The kitchen also has a pantry and lots of storage space, and is fully equipped with everything you need. Traveling with small kids? We also have plastic plates and cups so you don’t need to worry about broken dishes.
The dining table seats six and features a bar counter with an additional four bar stools to fit a larger group. The living room has very comfortable sectional sofas and two chairs so you can comfortably sit together to watch TV or play games. We have Hulu and have a DVD player with some throwback DVD movies.
Water’s Edge has three spacious bedrooms and two full baths all on the main floor so no additional stairs!
The large master features a queen size Tempur-pedic memory foam bed and en suite master bath with a jet tub. In these days where so many can work from anywhere - if you need to log on for a while, the master also has a desk and comfortable desk chair with extra plugs and phone chargers. And who wouldn’t love to work while looking out the windows to the water?
The second bedroom also has a comfortable full size bed with European pillow top and a desk, and the third bedroom has a full bed and a new bunk bed for kids or parents and kids to be together – also with water views. The third bedroom has books for kids of different ages so you can entice them away from the electronics! There’s also a full-sized air mattress if an additional sleeping space is needed. The second bathroom has a full bathtub with shower head.
Amenities include: Keyless entry, 55” Smart TV with Hulu streaming service in the living room, complimentary high speed Wi-Fi, central A/C and heat, all linens, towels, blankets, dishes and cookware including a new crockpot, a small crawfish boil pot/burner, washer/dryer, jet tub in master, a queen bed, 2 full beds and a bunk bed, board games, puzzles and books, wet bar, attached boat slip, deck ladder for swimming in the canal, 2 kayaks and paddle board with paddles and life vests, 3 cruiser bikes, beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, new foosball and darts set, and much more is included with your stay!

Thank Kevin for staying with us and you were a wonderful guest and we look forward to hosting your family again.
We had a great stay! Our host checked in on us with arrival details, and to assure we had what we needed. The house was decorated for the holiday and it felt so cozy. There were ample supplies at the house where there was no need to run out shopping first day. The house felt homey but well laid out! The outside was great and my grandson loved the fishing, games and kayaks! Such a peaceful community too! Thanks for a great experience and look forward to being back!
House was in a great location, clean, and had everything needed during our stay. The kids enjoyed the different activities available to them and the host was very responsive. We would definitely go back.

Thank you Matt for staying with us. I’m really glad everyone got to enjoy the weekend.
Loved the location and the canal home was great for fishing. The owner had excellent communication with us throughout our stay. Any issues we had were quickly addressed. The kitchen needs some updating but other than that it was a great stay and would definitely book again!

Thank you Traci for staying with us. We look forward to your next visit.
Property was perfect for our family vacation. Home was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed fishing and just relaxing inside and outside. Great communication daily and could not have been happier with our stay. Will definitely be back!
We loved the house and enjoyed every minute being there. We had fun kayaking, swimming, and fishing. The drive to the beach was real quick too. Would diffently recommend this place to friends and family.
Very nice property on the canals in Jamaica Beach. The property is comfortable, clean and well maintained. The proximity for fishing couldn't be better.
LOVED the deck area for relaxing and soaking up the sun! Very clean--rooms were large; kitchen is very well stocked with supplies; lots of storage. In the evening, the green night light on the deck was amazing to watching the "ring of fish" along with other fish with the swings being an added bonus.

About the host
Hosted by Paras Rana
I initially started coming to Jamaica Beach purely for fishing. However, after awhile, I fell in love with the houses by the canals. Now I bring my family and spend most of time watching my daughter and son fish off the dock. There is a different kind of joy you get when you watch your own kids swim and catch fish.
Why they chose this property
Great spacious house with all 3 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms, laundry and more all on one floor. The location on the canal with views all around, and quick access to the bay is amazing! The outdoor space is huge with so much room to hang out with friends and family. The garage has space to play games when you’re tired of the water or the weather is not so cooperative.
