Cozy Holiday Home, Large Deck & Fenced Yard
Tucked into a quiet corner of the popular Jamaica Beach community, Sandy Bottom is a fun and family-friendly holiday home on the Texas coast. Surrounded by a fenced-in yard, lush green grass, and tropical palm trees, you will love spending time on the lawn or soaking up the sun on the deck. With sleeping space for up to 12 people, a charcoal grill, an outdoor shower, and a quick walk or drive to Jamaica Beach, you’ll have everything you need for a stress-free family getaway.

The bright and beachy great room is surrounded by large windows that fill the home with natural light. Driftwood-inspired accents and ocean-themed artwork add to the coastal style. Your whole family will love this comfy room for relaxing after a day at the beach or pool, or strolling along the Strand. Glass doors open out to the sun-drenched deck with views of the peaceful neighborhood. You’ll want to sip your coffee out here in the mornings or relax with a glass of wine while you wait for the burgers to be done for dinner.
The sparkling kitchen is bright white with stainless steel appliances. An L-shaped tiered island has bar seating for four people and plenty of counter space for preparing meals and snacks. A classic subway tile backsplash, vintage-inspired pendant lights, and tons of cabinet storage make this kitchen into a streamlined yet stylish workspace.
Just off the living area are two cheerful bedrooms. The first bedroom has a flexible mix of sleeping options— with a king-size bed and two twin-over-twin built-in bunk beds. The attached full bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The second bedroom on this level is the master suite, complete with a king-size bed set against an antique headboard made from a 100-year old Galveston door. The ensuite master bathroom has a tub/shower combo. A convenient laundry nook is also attached to the master bedroom. A third bedroom on the ground level has two full-size beds.
Gather the whole family together in the evenings to prepare some juicy burgers or a fresh catch on the charcoal grill for dinner. The ground level of Sandy Bottom also has a large octagon picnic table, tons of beach lounge chairs, and an outdoor shower. The fully fenced-in yard makes it safe and stress-free for families with four-legged members or small children. When your crew is ready to hit the sand, the Jamaica Beach access point is a quick walk or drive down the lane. And the excitement of the Galveston Strand and Pleasure Pier is never far from your door.

After getting unpacked and settled in, we turned out the lights to watch TV and went back into the kitchen to get a snack only to find dozens of cockroaches crawling all over the counters. We were horrified! We stayed up until 2 AM trying to get a new rental (Thanksgiving weekend). Had to leave a message with the Properties management company who never responded to us so we went to VRBO directly, who very graciously got us canceled and helped us get into a new property. To this day I still have not heard from the management company of this property. Kudos to VRBO, the supervisor was very helpful in getting our money refunded and assisting us get into another property. I will never stay at a property managed by this specific company, but I will continue to use VRBO due to their prompt assistance. Because of this Properties issue we had to spend a whole second day getting packed and settled at a new property which caused us to miss out on plans we had not to mention the burden of having to repack everything up while making sure we don’t take any of the bugs home with us. Because of the lingering smell, it was obvious this is an ongoing issue with this property. In addition, the shower in the master is broken. It will scold you, you have to turn it off and on to get the water to regulate then it will turn around and scold you again 30 seconds later, and this was not because water was running elsewhere in the house. Altogether horrible experience. VRBO has pictures of the bugs.

The location was good and the property ok. Issues like leaking refrigerator and unlockable outside door were not addressed when submitted. Our group was 8. We could not use the 3rd bedroom because the door didn’t lock (external door) and the portable AC didn’t work. If we were the originally planned 11 people this would have been a problem. The cleanliness of the couch was suspect and the deck had rickety railings. Did we have fun yes. But not the experience I told me group we would have.

Communication and check-in process were a breeze. The location was nice and the neighborhood was quiet. Though after entering, we noticed the house was not completely cleaned; we had to wear shoes because the floors & rug were dirty/sandy. The refrigerator barely worked at all and the kitchen sink had little to no water pressure. Check-in is at 4 to allow time for cleaning, but the cleaners were still there at 5:00. Overall, I wouldn’t rent this location again, but we still made the best of it and enjoyed our stay.

Very roomy property with many beds. Nice fenced yard for the dog. Well equipped kitchen but appliances are all very old. Fridge had no shelves left in door and froze some of our food. Stove does not heat evenly anymore. Flooring has spots that are worn to the subfloor. Could use some Kleenex and toilet paper holders. Price was fair.

First of all...3rd bedroom is downstairs in a cubby hole with no bathroom! You are climbing stairs in the middle of the night if you need to potty! The porch has nails sticking up. Part of the rails are hanging. Beds are super hard!

Overall we were really pleased about this stay. The location is great and the house had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house was nice for a family. The only downside was that the vacuum didnt work to cleannup sand and some of the light switches didnt seem to work properly.

Galveston get away
Love the location of the house and the convenience of the beach. The owner was very responsive and the rates were great. We had 8 adults and one toddler. The house has plenty of beds but the top bunks are not sturdy enough for adults. Overall it was a great experience but there are some basic maintenance items that could be addressed:
Disposal smells of dead fish as soon as you turn the water on.
The lights flicker in the secondary bathroom when water is running.
The ice maker leaks into the refrigerator and creates standing water on the food.
Linens and pillows need to be replaced due to use
The bathrooms need to be cleaned better
