Charming 2-bedroom cottage on the canal in Jamaica Beach.

Small and tidy dog-friendly cottage on the canal:
For those of you who are looking for a place where all the furniture is new and everything matches, this is not it. Instead, we have a boat dock, 3 kayaks, and an outdoor shower and grill. A public boat launch is just around the corner (Please contact me if you wish to launch a boat. I will have to get a permit for you.). We also have a deck for outdoor dining, gathering with friends, reading a book, watching the birds fly by, or fishing and/or just watching the fish. Our house has a renovated kitchen and bath upstairs, along with 2 bedrooms: one queen and one double. There is another bath downstairs (connected to the upstairs with an outdoor staircase), with the laundry and an extra bed (twin). The downstairs room was a golf cart garage but is now a multi-functional room. Both the laundry and twin bed are elevated due to water fluctuations in the canal, so a step stool is available! But guess what?! You are right on the water, and that is lovely! AND, more to the point, a short drive of 1 mile gets you to the the beach (Gulf of Mexico) and all the sand, shells (maybe) and saltwater you would like!

Read more here if you are interested in knowing more about the area and things to do. Otherwise, just rent the house and learn about the area on the fly.

Learn about aviation at the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston, or about locomotion at the Galveston Island Railroad Museum, which has some of the largest restored exhibits in the US. Be sure to stop at the Pleasure Pier for carnival games, or check out The Strand Historic District's shops and restaurants.
Visit Moody Gardens, a nearby amusement park with educational exhibits and varied attractions, to see an IMAX movie or watch the fish in the aquarium. For an authentic ride, take an hour-long cruise on the replica Colonel Paddlewheel Boat. There's even a golf course where you can book tee times!
You'll have everything you want and more at this lovely vacation home by the canal. Book now!

Area very quiet and peaceful. We rented a golf cart and drove around even made it across main road to beach. Saw the sunset, rabbits, cows and coyotes. House had everything we needed......loved the water pressure in shower . Unfortunately we didn't use kayaks or canoes. Will rent again when visiting area.

We loved our recent stay for spring break! We brought our boat down and the house is very convenient to the boat launch. Check-in and out was a breeze. I am very picky with rentals and I was extremely impressed at how clean the home was. Claire was very responsive if we had any questions.

Great place to stay! Love the fact that it’s pet friendly and kayaks are available for use. The main house is super cozy and the shower is really nice. The location is great as well. We were able to catch some blue crab right off the boat slip which is always fun.
