The townhome was very clean and nicely furnished. The property had nice views of the gulf which was easy walking distance. We cooked one meal at the townhome and found everything we needed in the kitchen. Our family of four had plenty of space and we were happy they allowed our two small dogs. The beach was not crowded during our stay. Lovely property overall.

An awesome spring break!

The property is clean and spacious. So close to the beach! We would go to the beach to watch the sunrise and play in the sand. We also come back when the sun is less intense. My kids enjoyed this vacation a lot.

Great Owner, decent house.

This property was suitable but not great like other reviews. I was optimistic because of the reviews, such as a few lights out in the master bath and the door not closing unless it was locked (annoying when taking a dog out). Overall the property is nice, in a good location, and the opener was extremely receptive and caring. He definitely adds lot of value to the place. There were good amenities such as beach chairs and lots of kitchen utilities to use. Overall, decent place just not up. to my standards for cleanliness.

Perfect Location

We enjoyed our stay very much! Although this is a "third-row" house, the views of the water from the living, dining, and master bedroom are AMAZING! The neighborhood is quiet and it seemed we had the entire beach to ourselves. The furnishings need some updating, but overall the home is very nice and in a perfect location.

Fall in love with Galveston

We took a little family trip to celebrate my birthday. October in Galveston is magical. We loved the location out of the heavy tourist traffic, but close enough to eat at the best restaurants. The beach was very quiet and just a few steps from the house. The house was climate controlled, including humidity, and very comfortable. With three full bathrooms and a spacious living floor, there is more than enough room to spread out while you hang out. Looking forward to our next visit.

Just What the Doctor Ordered!

We had such a special time at our “home away from home” in Jamaica Beach. The Townhome was exactly what we needed and beach access is only a two minute walk. We absolutely loved walking up to the sunrise views and the home had everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials to cook and the location of the kitchen is central which made it easy to enjoy family time while others were playing games at the table or in the living room. Loved the master bedroom windows and jacuzzi tub. The beds were comfortable. Kids loved the bunk beds in their room. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and has a really kind communication style. This townhome is ideal for one family with up to maybe 3 or 4 kids. We have two boys and felt the home was not too big for us yet everyone had their space to spread out and enjoy solitude too. We will return hopefully soon. Book it and enjoy!
