About this property

Waterfront! Family getaway/fisherman's base camp!

'Cottage by the Bay' is a place where families can enjoy their time on the canal with Kayaks, and Stand-Up Paddle Board. We have included boogie-boards and Beach Chairs for your use as well! Both young and old alike will enjoy fishing from the backyard, with lights provided for night fishing. Take a kayak on a kayak trail through nearby "Galveston Island State Park" (We provide life vests at no cost). Swim in the canal (we recommend wearing water shoes), or have a day of boating right from our boat slip or simply spend the afternoon grilling by the water or relaxing on the deck. The City of Jamaica Beach pool is typically open 6 days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and charges $5/person for a day pass.) We are happy to offer a 10% discount for extended stays of 5 days or more!

Our private dock is equipped with a fish cleaning table with water to clean fish and/or rinse off after the beach or a dip in the canal. Trout, red fish, drum, and several other varieties are frequently caught from our deck!

Above all else, 'Cottage by the Bay' is a place to get away for a while, relax, and enjoy life with each other!

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 also has it's own community pool and private marina and boat ramp, Regatta Basin, a community pavilion and playground. The City of Jamaica Beach pool is typically open 6 days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and charges $5/person for a day pass.)

Boat launch has a fee of $10 for each day the ramp is used - please let us know as early as possible if you will be purchasing a permit as it takes 3-4 days to process via the city.

Internet Access/Cable service can be unreliable on West Galveston Island. We apologize, but we cannot guarantee that these amenities will be working during your stay and are unable to offer refunds for disruption of these services.

Wonderful Vacation Property that has it ALL

We were looking for the perfect spot for our family vacation and this was a GEM that meet all our needs plus more. The house was in a great location with easy and fast access to a clean, beautiful beach as well as a good spot off the bay to fish. Our little granddaughter loved sitting on the comfy outside furniture watching the fish jump. The house was spotless and clean with everything nicely stocked. You won’t regret booking this lovely property for your beach vacation stay!
