This is a gem of a home to stay in Galveston! Literally steps away from the beach. Jamaica Beach area is perfectly positioned far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town yet close enough to venture in for more action and entertainment. The house is a great lay out. We had kids on main floor and the bedrooms in basement were like private suites. Property owners were warm, welcoming and helpful. We definitely would stay here again! 10/10 recommend!
This house was the perfect size for our family. We did have a problem with some loose rails on the deck railing, but the owner was at the house within an hour of reporting the problem and fixed the rails. We had two toddlers, so the quick repairs were appreciated. The house was well stocked, although it was good we brought plastic wear. There is a limited amount of silver wear. Even with our group of big eaters, the pantry was sufficient to hold all our food. We had thunderstorms for most of our stay, but the table upstairs was big enough for us to play cards to pass the time. I was particularly happy to see the gate at the top of the stairs, specifically because we did have toddlers with us. We just had a short walk to the beach. Since there were no houses between us and the beach, the view from the deck was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again.
Pictures are accurate! You are a few steps from the water! Canât get any closer. We had 8 people for 6 days and were very comfortable. We cooked a lot and kitchen has everything. Nice big fridge. Lots of seasonings, oil, etc. Seating for 10 at 2 tables. Great A/C. Donât need to bring beach towels or chairs or floats or toys. Lots of games and stuff in the den. Note the downstairs bathroom opens into one of the bedrooms, not Jack and Jill style. Bedrooms downstairs are basically just the beds. No closets or dressers. Stackable W/D works great. We took a pop up tarp for the deck. Be sure to anchor it down!! Great place to stay. Hosts are very available. We had a wonderful time!
We loved the access to the beach. The house was smaller than we expected but we honestly had everything we needed, and our family of 10 fit comfortably. Walmart is close enough for delivery and getting to any of the activities in town is easy! The hosts were so kind and available if needed.
The location is absolutely perfect! It is within walking distance of the private beach. The large deck that overlooks the beach was nice for hanging out as a family! The property was very clean and there was room enough for our whole family. The hosts thought of everything from sand toys for the kids to use at the beach to beach towels. We would highly recommend staying here.
The property was amazing., right next to the ocean, not too close to neighbors, and amzing views. Owners were so nice and let us check in early as i had gotten food poisoning the night before. Owners were so helpful and could not ask for a better place to have stayed for our first trip to Texas.
The location is great. Right on the beach. There are plenty of bath towels, beach towels (located under the large bathroom sinks), beach chairs and toys. We love the layout of the upstairs - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and large family friendly living, dining and kitchen area. Great communication with the hosts. The only negative was the downstairs bedrooms and bath. There was a very strong mold/mildew smell.
First day, the cleaner was still there cleaning, 2 hours past check time. Didnât change the sheets as we saw no linen leaving the house. Rick did compensate us for the lost time, however, after driving 5 hours, this was highly disappointing .
The second day, we found mice droppings in pantry and under the kitchen furniture (after it was âcleanedâ the day before) and the mice ripped open our food. Rich did come by and put mice traps. We left the food out on the tables, which gave us less space to eat and play games. The carport/ under the deck flooded due to an immense amount of rain and the lack of proper leveling of the ground. There was a hurricane the week prior, so I understand that happens. However, I did specifically ask Rick if everything was good to go for our stay and he assured me it was. It definitely wasnât. The downstairs smelled like sewage for the next few days. Our family ended up digging ditches manually so the room downstairs didnât flood (as they were starting to) until Rick came the next day to level out the ground.
So the third day, we lived in a construction site.
The fourth and fifth days were finally fine was nothing went wrong and we were able to enjoy the house as intended. The house itself offers GREAT space with a perfect location. Towels, toiletries, tvs/streaming, games etc etc were definitely appreciated.
We were compensated for these issues which I appreciate but not enough to want to stay again.
The home is very accommodating to needs for a vacation. One thing that would help is if at least one other bedroom had double beds. It's right on the beach which was wonderful since my mother has a hard time walking. The view is fabulous and the balcony/porch is huge. We enjoyed the stay so very much and would use this house again.
This home was perfect for our large family! Great location right on the water. Owners are very accommodating and the house had all of the essentials and much more. Beds were co gotta me and great AC! Such a relaxing vacation.
It was amazing being this close to the beach. We're a large family so we were able to make one trip to the beach with all our gear. The upper level was ideal with enough sitting in the living room, the kitchen was spacious and well equipped, bedrooms/baths were very nice. However, the 2 bedrooms and bath downstairs weren't ideal, but my grown kids made it work. The only thing we had a problem with was the smell of the septic system, so we always had something cooking to make it smell better. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous home on the beach.
Great place! Itâs kind of hard to find a place with good beach access thatâs affordable and has Queen or larger beds in most rooms. This property has it! Three couples all had queen or larger beds, the two kids has their twin beds. The shower downstairs came in clutch to get the salt and sand off and there was a little hose on the top deck to wash all the sand off your feet and shoes once you got upstairs. Itâs a short walk around the dune to the perfect spot on the beach. The owners are super responsive but we only had to reach out once! I hope we can book again for our next family vacation!
The house was perfect and met everyoneâs needs. Beautiful location on the beach. The owners were available and communication was open. Even though we encountered the coastal storm, we managed through it. Overall even with the storm, our family highly recommends this beach house property. We would definitely use it again! Many thanks to the owners for sharing their lovely beach house!
