Waterfront Home! Kids/Pet Friendly! Kayaks/Bikes!
Welcome to Water’s Edge in Jamaica Beach where families can have fun in the sun and shade, in the water and on land! Water views are everywhere from this house that is just around the corner from the bay access. For the water, we have two kayaks, including a fast fishing kayak, a paddleboard, inflatable floats and floating saddle seats. For everyone’s safety, we also have life jackets of various sides including for kids. Want some waves? The beach on the Gulf side is a few minutes away by car, or you can rent a golf cart…either way you can park on the beach so it’s easy to bring beach chairs, toys and boogies boards, all of which is available at the house for your use.
Tired of the water? We have a HUGE dock and covered patio area that features two porch swings, a single swing, a picnic table that’s great for eating dinner together using the new Weber charcoal grill (charcoal provided by the guest), or playing games, and a great wet bar. Love fishing? We have fishing rod holders by the dock and an underwater light that regularly features redfish, trout and more at night. In the garage, challenge each other to games of foosball or darts!
Want to get around the neighborhood or your kids want to do something else? We have three cruiser bikes – two adult and one child’s 24” bike. The yard is gated so pets and young kids can be kept safe from wandering into the cul de sac.
On the large, recently renovated upper deck, we have lounge chairs with new cushions and pillows, an outdoor eating table and Weber gas grill (propane provided by guest) and new umbrella for those sunny days. At night you can enjoy sitting together to watch the shades of sunset change over the bay. We also have a gate to keep kids and pets upstairs.
In the recently updated house, Water’s Edge has windows across the entire water side of the home for a bright open concept living, dining and kitchen area. The large kitchen includes stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and best of all, a wine (or beverage) fridge! The kitchen also has a pantry and lots of storage space, and is fully equipped with everything you need. Traveling with small kids? We also have plastic plates and cups so you don’t need to worry about broken dishes.
The dining table seats six and features a bar counter with an additional four bar stools to fit a larger group. The living room has very comfortable sectional sofas and two chairs so you can comfortably sit together to watch TV or play games. We have Hulu and have a DVD player with some throwback DVD movies.
Water’s Edge has three spacious bedrooms and two full baths all on the main floor so no additional stairs!
The large master features a queen size Tempur-pedic memory foam bed and en suite master bath with a jet tub. In these days where so many can work from anywhere - if you need to log on for a while, the master also has a desk and comfortable desk chair with extra plugs and phone chargers. And who wouldn’t love to work while looking out the windows to the water?
The second bedroom also has a comfortable full size bed with European pillow top and a desk, and the third bedroom has a full bed and a new bunk bed for kids or parents and kids to be together – also with water views. The third bedroom has books for kids of different ages so you can entice them away from the electronics! There’s also a full-sized air mattress if an additional sleeping space is needed. The second bathroom has a full bathtub with shower head.
Amenities include: Keyless entry, 55” Smart TV with Hulu streaming service in the living room, complimentary high speed Wi-Fi, central A/C and heat, all linens, towels, blankets, dishes and cookware including a new crockpot, a small crawfish boil pot/burner, washer/dryer, jet tub in master, a queen bed, 2 full beds and a bunk bed, board games, puzzles and books, wet bar, attached boat slip, deck ladder for swimming in the canal, 2 kayaks and paddle board with paddles and life vests, 3 cruiser bikes, beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, new foosball and darts set, and much more is included with your stay!

We had a great stay! Our host checked in on us with arrival details, and to assure we had what we needed. The house was decorated for the holiday and it felt so cozy. There were ample supplies at the house where there was no need to run out shopping first day. The house felt homey but well laid out! The outside was great and my grandson loved the fishing, games and kayaks! Such a peaceful community too! Thanks for a great experience and look forward to being back!

This little home was absolutely adorable and so comfy! We stayed 5 nights in the dead heat of summer and the house was always nice and cool. That’s a huge plus! It was perfectly decorated and clean! There were plenty of extras, games, movies, kayaks, fishing gear, just not enough time to do everything. My 84 year old dad and twin grandsons had the best time fishing every night and we all loved watching the fish under the light. Sadly only the crabs were biting, but the littles thought that was hilarious. If you have ever stayed at Jamaica Beach, then you know the neighborhood is so friendly. We love it here. I have to say out of everything this little home had, the single swing under the deck was my favorite. Every night I found myself swinging in it, it was so peaceful. Definitely will be back! Thank you!

We stayed at Water's Edge this past week for our summer vacation and everything exceeded our expectations! There was no shortage of fun things to do. We fished morning and night (quite successfully) and ping pong was a major hit for everyone. Paras was very quick to respond to any inquiries and very, very kind. Thanks for opening your beautiful home to our family. Many great memories were made!

Wonderful stay for families
Such a fun place to stay, LOTS to do for kids and adults. My boys fished from the moment they woke up until they fell asleep. House has everything you need plus more. Kayaks were really fun and enjoyed riding their scooters around the neighborhood. Owner communicated wonderful and we had zero issues. We will be coming back in few months for fall break.

A weekend to remember
LOVED the deck area for relaxing and soaking up the sun! Very clean--rooms were large; kitchen is very well stocked with supplies; lots of storage. In the evening, the green night light on the deck was amazing to watching the "ring of fish" along with other fish with the swings being an added bonus.

Fantastic stay over Spring Break
We spent three nights here over Spring Break. The house was big enough for 5 teenage boys, 2 adults, and two dogs. Plenty of fun things to do (kayaks, ping pong, dart, foosball, fishing) to keep them entertained. It's in a quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac so we didn't have to worry about all night parties from neighbors or people driving by at all hours of the night. Overall, a great stay and would recommend.

Amazing host!!
My family and I booked this home for a week in July. We live in Houston and wanted an easy vacation on the water. When we arrived at the house, check in was super easy, the house was beautiful and clean, the kayaks and beach supplies were ready! However, our first morning there a hurricane in the gulf turned directly toward galveston and we had to evacuate back to our home in Houston. We were never able to return to the bay house but the property host was very kind and communicative. He helped us get a refund back, even though it meant staying on hold with vrbo for a very long time! Excelllent house and an excellent host!
