Great location!

This is a great house for a family trip. There is a ton of space and you can't beat the views. We came during a windy, cold weekend so we couldn't try out the kayaks and water sports, but there were a lot of options. The deck has great views of the bay and the fishing was great off the dock. We will definitely come back during the summer.

Perfect Getaway

This trip was different in that there was a tropical storm and the streets were a bit flooded. We planned correctly with groceries and had a nice time fishing and watching the the bay from the porch.

Fishing and kayaking adventure

We loved the fishing and kayaking! The enclosed upper deck was great for our little ones. The green light was a great way to observe the sea life. The community pool and playground were really nice. The beach is so close too! Highly recommend!!

Springbreak Fishing Spit

Had an amazing time at this house. Everything was as expected and the location could not be better. Tons of outdoor deck space and everyone loved the open lawn next to the house. The location was perfect for families that want to fish or kayak into the bay. Todd was an amazing host and super responsive to messages in a timely manner. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this house. We will most definitely be back.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay in Jamaica beach. The house was very clean. Everything was very well stocked. The kitchen had nice dish ware which isn’t always a thing in a rental. The property manager was quick to respond on any questions. The location was also very nice. The view is great and the lagoon area is nice for calmer waters for kayaking/paddle boards. The outdoor area is great - plenty of seating and space for everyone. We would stay here again.

60th Wedding Anniversary

My family thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at your house. Everything was just as described and better. We enjoyed fishing off the deck and using the crab traps. We all had comfortable beds and plenty of room to spread out. My parents had a wonderful 60th anniversary celebration. We will definitely stay there again! Thank you so much! We also enjoyed Shrimp NStuff food truck right down the road and had a nice dinner at West End Marina. Thanks again!

Needs some attention

We chose this rental because of the excellent reviews, but we think some improvements could be made. The main door can’t be securely locked - someone could just push the door open even though it’s locked, the dishwasher is not firmly attached and kept leaning forward, only 3 windows have screens on them, there are no blinds or shades in the main family area so no privacy, rust on fixtures in the bathroom, and a shortage of flatware for meals. For the price we expected higher standards.

Adventure to remember!

My family and I booked February 15-19, 2021 to come in town for a wedding. We had such big plans to enjoy everything Galveston Island had to offer, attend a beautiful wedding for my nephew and his fiance at The Lyceum and this house was the perfect fit for our family. No one could predict that a winter storm with snow, ice, a deep freeze, power outages, and eventually water outages would happen. We came in a day early to beat the storm and the power went out on the island at 2 pm Monday morning (Feb 15th). We decided to go ahead to the house as planned on Monday, anticipating that the power should come back on sometime that evening. Well, it didn't and the roads were too dangerous to travel on to get off the island that night. So my husband, myself, and teen daughter all slept in the king room under almost every cover in the house. We sadly ended up having to leave the next day because there was still no power. Even though things didn't go as planned, we would definitley love to come back when it is warmer, and enjoy everything this Jamaica Beach house has to offer! The views are beautiful, the ameneties are tremendous, the area is perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. Thank you for sharing your home with us and you will be hearing from us again in the future!
