Great views of the ocean!!!! Awesome time
My son in law proposed to my oldest daughter on a battle ship...That was cool to see. These guys loved how close the walk to the beach was could even drive on the beach but no need. How close every market and drink store was within 3 miles or less. Could go across the street that had a lazy river, hot tub, pool, and putt putt for the youngers. Will definitely use this place again Lisa was great with communication on everything. Thank you and loved it

Beautiful home in a great location, near many convenience stores and quick walk to the beach.
Loved all of the indoor and outdoor spaces. Both included multiple nice and comfy seating options. The outdoor shower worked great and did have hot water. There is also a hose to rinse off beach gear. There are chairs and a wagon with sand toys to take to the beach. We enjoyed using the outdoor grill. It is off the main road and a popular drive on access to the beach so it can be noisy to some, like other posts have said, but the noise will not take away from you enjoying your stay. Highly recommend!

Classic Jamaica Beach Beachhouse
I grew up here, and came back for a visit. I appreciate that this house has stayed unique and colorful, just as I remember Jamaica Beach. Other rentals have been flipped into conglomerate-owned "grey-white" non-descript homes. Appreciate this little gem.

We enjoyed our stay. Very nice and close to the beach. House was good, clean. Nice deck. Good communications with owner, I had left some things and she was willing to send it to me. Also, she let us stay a few extra hours the day of departure. Which was awesome. My only downside was, it was very close to the road and the noise of the traffic bothered me, but then I’m quite sound sensitive. The rest of the family was not bothered by the traffic sounds. Overall a great stay.

Nice but tired
We travel for a living so I like to give straight up honest reviews. The parking was good. The outdoor shower is only cold water and is just a trickle. The chairs and toys, that were at a different rental were pretty gross. We bought ourselves two new chairs. The grill is open and rusted and dirty. I wouldn’t cook on it so we had to do all our steaks inside the oven. The house was clean. It is on the road so be prepared for lots of noise. The AC is also loud so you better bring ear plugs. There is a house in front of you so your view is obscured. The living room consisted of one tired old couch that seats 3 very closely and two old wicker chairs. There is a TV and there are lots of options. Table seats 4. Kitchen is tired. Dishwasher door slams down and don’t pull hard on the top shelf lest you pull it completely off. The beds are super hard. Fantastic stacked washer and dryer. Nice towels.
Furniture on balcony consists of high wooden chairs and a table. The other table is to low to dine on with the high chairs. The stairs inside are super dangerous. The rail begins past the first step. Beware of that for sure. It was easy access to the beach. Honestly it would feel so crowded with more than 3 people. It was fine for us but I think overpriced for a comfortable house. The redeeming quality was walking to the beach.

Had a great weekend trip with family of 5 and 2 small dogs. Views were amazing steps from the beach and close to stores/restaurants. This house (in my opinion) is biggest bang for the buck in this area. My 15 year old daughter left her wallet in the kids room and the property manager (Lisa) found it and mailed it to us within a couple of days! I would highly recommend this house and would stay again!

Lovely mini vacay
We decided to escape the very cold January temperatures of Kansas and come down to the only beaches you can drive to in 1 day, the Texas coast! I had never been to this area before and it was just as I thought it would be. We picked the Jamaica Beach part of Galveston because it looked quiet and less populated which it was. The house was very clean on the inside, super cozy and warm. It had everything we needed for our short 3 day stay. We enjoyed the excellent gulf views from the top floor deck, listening the nonstop crash of waves on the beach and cool breezes. The beach is about 75 yards from the front door and you feel like it’s waterfront. We walked on the beach each day, it was sunny and 70s and wonderful. There are restaurants and a local market very close by. This was a perfect short vacay or extra long wekeend and can’t wait to come back!
