Beautifully appointed, well maintained house- just like the pictures. Proximity to the beach was amazing- just steps to the water. Even my 4 year old had no issues going to/from the house on foot. It’s a bit down the beach from the craziness of the “zoo”, so there was far less traffic and people in general. We had plenty of room with 3 families and everyone was comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

The whole family of 14 ranging in ages from 10 to 73 had a an absolute blast!!! The distance to the beach was perfect!!! The house fit all of us comfortably. The kids enjoyed the upstairs with 6 queens and the adults stayed down stairs in the 3 kings. The outdoor spaces were spacious with stunning views! We felt like we had our own private beach. We will definitely be back!

Perfect house for our girls trip

Everything was great, the host communicated well and was kind. It fit our group of 12 wonderfully. We experienced heavy rain and the roof leaking in one area of the house due to weather but the host was quick to respond and apologize. I do wish they provided more trash bags; for the amount of people the house holds, it wasn’t enough. This was completely our error for not realizing, but be warned that it takes an hour at least to get into Galveston due to the ferry. It will take an hour to get to a full service grocery store like Kroger, to the popular restaurants, etc. Walmart will not deliver groceries to the house. Overall we really enjoyed our time - the views were wonderful and we loved being right off the beach.

Awesome Time!

The accommodations at the Jolly Roger are wonderful for a multi-family. We stay in a lot of rentals and this one was by far the best in providing amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need for a week's stay. Check-in and check out was great and they even called mid-week to ensure we were satisfied. Great experience - 5 stars!

Jolly Roger

We loved our stay at Jolly Roger! The house was beautiful and well stocked with what we needed. The walk to the beach was easy from the house. There was more than enough parking for the 3 cars and plenty extra. Everything worked as advertised. We will keep this owner in mind when renting again.
