JAMAICA BEACH

Jamaica Beach Texas is one of the most popular beaches and sought-after neighborhoods when it comes to vacation rentals – what it lacks in size, it makes up for action during the summer months, holidays and event weekends! Jamaica Beach is far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle of Seawall (8 miles), and but not too far away from most of the island attractions (10 miles from 61st Street). Jamaica Beach also has its own community pool and private marina and boat ramp, Regatta Basin, a community pavilion and playground.

GULF COAST CONCIERGE

Ryson partners exclusively with Gulf Coast Concierge to make your time on the island unforgettable! Gulf Coast Concierge understands it's the little things that count. Create your own adventures with beach gear and golf cart rentals, a sunset cruise or a bonfire and smores on the beach. Gulf Coast Concierge also offers fishing charters, photo sessions, and a variety of in-home services. If you can dream it, we will do our best to make it happen!


NOTES

All Ryson properties are non-smoking.

It is recommended to review Ryson's “Packing List” when planning your vacation. If there are any questions, please contact us.

Some of the properties Ryson manages require additional fees for things like parking passes, resort fees, amenity wristbands, etc. be paid to the HOA upon arrival directly. Resort amenities, including advertised elevators, require maintenance and from time to time may be unavailable for guest use. Every effort will be made by Ryson to notify the respective HOA. However, please understand, Ryson has no control or authority in completing necessary repairs or routine maintenance. If elevator use is a requirement for any guests during your stay, please contact Ryson prior to booking, and we're happy to go over available options (alternate elevator available on premises or locating a better limited mobility friendly access unit).

EXTENDED STAYS

Monthly rentals are considered in the off-season - Winter Texans, snowbirds, retirees, corporate stays, medical professionals, university students and plant workers are welcome. Extended stays or monthly rentals require a stay of 30+ nights, and these reservations are tax exempt. This is an immediate savings of 15%! Although most extended stay reservations are between the middle of November through February, extended stays may be considered anytime between Labor Day and Memorial Day. Extended stay reservations may not be placed online, but a Ryson Vacation Planner would love to answer any questions you may have and help you reserve your extended stay.

Just ok
We booked this place for a friend trip for 4 couples. It is advertised as a 4 bedroom. The 4th bedroom is downstairs at ground level with a separate entrance. The smell of mildew is overwhelming and makes it uncomfortable to spend any amount of time there. You can smell it before you even open the door. Also, two overhead lights do not turn off completely. The primary bedroom bed had sand in the sheets. We also killed a roach on our first night. All in all it is a well equipped home but wish we had known about the fourth bedroom and wish it had been cleaner.

Great Jamaica beach get away
I love going to Galveston. My family has been spending one or two nighters there for many years. This beach house was spacious with a large deck perfect for fishing. Kitchen and bathrooms are newly remodeled. Had a great experience with family.

Excellent Rental
We will definitely stay here again. Plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was fantastic! It was well equipped and had everything we needed. Only downside is deck stairs need replacing. Otherwise it was an excellent place to stay.

Heron's Nest Stay
Property was good for the family. We needed all rooms. Water downstairs for cleaning off and for fish station disabled. We needed it. The room downstairs was musty so not an option to stay in it. The rest of the stay was excellent. Dock was great for fishing, close to beach, all appliances worked.

Nice get away
The property was nice size and relaxing on the water. There were several issues with the furnishings and accessories. The grill was not cleaned and nearly caught on fire. The furniture was pretty old and worn out. They need a couple of items in the kitchen. Nothing that prevented us from having a good time, just needs updating.
