We had a great relaxing few days at Yolanda and Doc’s beach house. Very cozy and welcoming with the beautiful views from every room in the house. The close proximity to the beach was a plus! We walked the beach and played in the water. Located outside of Galveston/Seawall proper near Jamaica Beach, this home gives the peace and quiet our family needed with easy access to go back “into the city” for adventures. Yolanda was so accommodating with our traveling timeline. This house is perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Yolanda

Host profile image
My husband and me enjoy sharing our 3-bedroom, 3 full bathroom beach home next door and when this beach home came up for sale, we decided to purchase the beach home.
We found many families with a desire to stay close to the beach and enjoy the relaxation that only a beach can offer! We also wanted to provide vacationers, with multiple family members, the option of sharing the same beach area but still having the privacy of being in separate quarters.

Why they chose this property

Our beach is close to Jamaica beach ( Karankawa Beach) not crowded and is a location well known by frequent island guest renters. We also enjoy this location, it is secluded but close enough (10 miles to the seawall) to all of the island happenings!

What makes this property unique

A unique benefit of renting our townhome is its phenomenal location. It is far enough from town to have the small town feeling but close enough to enjoy Galveston and all its attractions. Our guests LOVE the proximity to the beach as well as the proximity to a well stocked grocery store and Nates Restaurant. We are only 10 miles from the Seawall, which is also a big PLUS!
