Canal House: Family Friendly, crabbing, fishing and more!

Spring Break 2023

We had a lovely time. The house was styled/updated nicely and very clean. It was the perfect size for our family of 4 with room to spare. It was chilly and rainy so we didn’t get to use the kayaks or enjoy the outside as much as we would have liked but the deck and downstairs would be so enjoyable during warmer weather. Overall, a nice place to stay in Jamaica.

Nice house on the water

My family enjoyed our time at this house very much. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We loved having the boat lift to store our boat, which made it very easy to go out fishing in the bay. Check-in was very easy and we had no problems while we were there. The only disappointing thing was that the fenced yard had so many holes and openings that our dog could have easily gotten out. So we ended up having to walk her on a leash instead of letting her run in the yard. The fenced yard was a selling point for us so it would be worth noting that the fence doesn’t work for small dogs. Otherwise the house was great.

Nice, quiet and relaxing

Great property in a quiet neighborhood on the canal. Plenty of space down stairs for additional family that visited during the day. We kayaked, fished and crabbed and definitely relaxed. The yard is completely fenced which was great for our doodle. Laid back lake feel with the perk of the beach just a short drive away. Great time!

Will definitely stay here again.

The house was the perfect size for our family. Very clean and had anything and everything we needed. We stay in rentals alot and this is the first one that I honestly only needed to bring food and our fishing gear. Everything else was provided. The bay was amazing and again Amy provides so many things you would need to bbq, kyate, lounge ( love the hammock ), or play on the beach. We definitely utilized the outdoor shower as well. Amy is great with communication and even let us know when the house was ready a few mins early. My family is still talking about how much fun we had. Thank you for everything.

Wonderful time

Thank you very much for allowing us to use your property for the week. We had a great time. The property was very nicely maintained with plenty of amenities to make anyone's stay a delight. Enjoyed being able to park our seadoo in the slip thank you very much for that. AC worked just fine we brought fans as well. Just a short ride from the beach and pretty much anything you need for groceries and the shrimp tacos at the Taco truck up the street were great. We hope we left it in as good a shape as it was in before and plan to make it an annual trip with our family that rented a larger location a street over which they enjoyed as well. Oh and the outside shower is the best.

Excellent Stay

The property was everything it was advertised. It was extremely clean and well kept. The bedrooms were somewhat small, but the areas that counted .. the kitchen and living area and the outside were amazing. We enjoyed fishing from the porch and was just a short drive from all of Galveston’s “to dos”. We would definitely stay again! Thanks Amy for a great experience!

Great House!

Perfect house on the canal. The kids loved swimming out back between going to the beach and fishing. They also enjoyed checking the crab trap every few hours and ended up with over a dozen crabs in 3 days. Would recommend staying on the canal if your kids love crabbing, fishing, and swimming.

Awesome place! Very peaceful and relaxing!

Wow!!! Everything is awesome about this place. This is one of the best places we have ever rented. The home is beautiful, clean, relaxing, and has everything we needed from pet accommodation to cooking needs, watching TV, WI-FI connection etc. Our pups love the yard space where they can run and play, and they also love relaxing and watching the canal over the deck. Amy, the owner of the rental is superb in getting all my questions answered fast, and offered great hospitality!! Thank you, Amy for everything!! We hope to rent your place again in the Summer. Very lovely and special memories made our pups during our stay. ❤️🐾🐶🐠🌴🏠❤️
