We really enjoyed the stay. The house is close to the beach so you can walk to the beach daily. The area is very clean. We did have to wait to check in as the cleaning service were there past 4 pm, but other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful beach trip!

We had an amazing time celebrating our daughter’s 17th birthday with a few friends. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful! The cabin was close to the beach and convenient to Galveston. The girls enjoyed the pool and the game area in the cabin. We will be back!!!

Family time

This was a great place for our family. Our daughter recently moved to the area and we needed a place for all of us to stay under one roof and not break the bank.The previous reviews had me a little nervous prior to our arrival. Once we arrived it was very spacious and welcoming.

Basic: Kitchen is bare bones.

The property has plenty of room with good covered outdoor space and pool. However, the house sleeps 16 and the kitchen only had 7 spoons. The kitchen is basic lacks enough silverware and not one baking sheet. Meals were challenging. Our advice make sure to bring all your cooking supplies.

A Perfect Getaway in Jamaica Beach!

We had the most amazing stay at this vacation rental in Jamaica Beach! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we felt right at home. If you're looking for a relaxing retreat with all the comforts of home and the charm of Jamaica Beach, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back!

Great Home

The house was as described. Could have been a little cleaner. But overall great place for a large group. Weather didn’t permit for pool or beach time and unable to use barbecue pit as it was molded and very nasty. Although we wanted to use it we made it work with the oven.

Great stay!

Great experience with this booking. Fantastic entertaining space for you and your friends. Between the pool, fire pit, games, and beautiful deck, your entire party has space to kick back and relax however they like. Location is awesome as well. The washing machine was not working, so that was the only bummer. Overall I highly recommend!

Great get away, it was just the wife and I. This facility is best suited for a family and friends.

The property appears to be clean and easy to get around. If I had children, I would not allow them on the upper decks without supervision. Some in need of repair to the railings. This property has a great swimming pool and friendly neighbors.

Overall the property was great and I would love to give this one 5 stars. But, unfortunately there were quite a few issues with maintenance. Holes in the wooden fence are large enough for small dogs to escape, rear balcony railing is failing down which is very dangerous. Upstairs rear sliding door does not lock and vertical slats are missing on balcony railing and small children could go out and fall out if unsupervised. Water faucet under house near picnic tables is about to break due to unsecured hose bib and thin flexible PVC. Swimming pool perimeter railing is cracked and has sharp metal exposed edges on the swimming side of railing. Yard around fire pit and deck was littered with trash that small dogs can choke on. Garbage disposal switch is directly below sink and is easily triggered accidentally while using sink. Upstairs bath has non-GFCI outlets near sink. Front door mini blinds are broken. 3rd floor loft bunk bed is directly under (2 ft below ) ceiling fan with metal blades. 1st floor shower faucet is extremely hard to turn. Spiral staircase rattles excessively and can easily be fixed if vertical rods are tightened to hand rail. Outdoor television wall mount bracket is rusted and thus immobile, leading to injured heads from sharp corners of TV frame. Paving stones around fire pit (along perimeter of gravel stones) are uneven and can lead to twisted ankles. Ground floor outdoor string lights are improperly wired with an extension cord which overheats. Will stay again
Great house ! I wish that maintenance would be a higher priority. The inside was perfectly clean. Outside was a bit dirty but not bad. We will return !
Early morning fire for those S'mores that we forgot to do the night before. Out of town guests need their treat for the road. Watch your step, the gravel is very sharp and the perimeter stones are very uneven
