Great home

We had a great time at Almost Famous. It was just what we needed for our winter beach getaway with our toddler. It was well stocked and had plenty of amenities. The owners were readily available and provided a lot of good details and recommendations.

Cozy Cottage Charmer

This cozy cottage was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! It was exactly as described in the photos and listing. While it was small, it was also homey and very roomy with an open living/dining/kitchen area where we spent all of our down time together. Definitely felt like a home away from home. The property manager was very friendly, prompt, and helpful. Just an overall beautiful cottage and wonderful experience!

Absolutely Love "Almost Famous "!

What an incredible place this was!! The hubs and I were in desperate need of a vacation away. From the very beginning, the owners were super communicative and welcoming, and even left us a sweet message and complimentary gift for our stay. The house was perfectly cleaned and organized (smelled AMAZING), and had everything we could have needed for a break away. From kitchen and bathroom items, even beach toys, chairs, bug spray- you name it, the place had it. Mike and Lacey even have a book there to browse through for first time Jamaica Beach visitors withe restaurant and store suggestions. Just incredible! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Cute lil Beach house

We loved our week in Galveston. The 4 star rating is due to our delayed check-in. We arrived on the property after a 5-6 hour drive and were unable to enter the property usung the code given. My daughter and I needed to use the bathroom badly at this point. I called the host twice and left a voicemail. I also sent messages through the VRBO app. After 20-30 minutes with no response we went into town for dinner. We were hoping to be able to unload our truck before. 30 minutes later with after no response i decito call the property management to help us get in. After that the host texted me telling me totoalways reach out to her first. I did! 3 r

Cozy stay

Overall it was a good place for our family of two small kids. The beds were extremely uncomfortable but we managed, and to be fair I blame some of that on our toddlers. Lol! The sink leaked and so I had to alert management but they quickly fixed it and it didn’t cause any inconvenience except that it ruined the paper towels we brought. Luckily the house had some extra. The mosquitoes were KILLER downstairs. We made it a hurry anytime we were getting in and out of our car or golf cart to get out and up the stairs pronto or risk bites. We each had about 5-10 bites coming home at the end of the week.

Enjoyable holiday at the house... look forward to going back

The house and stay was so enjoyable. The property manager was very prompt with communication and accommodating with us being able to check in 30mins early. Loved the house for its open feel, clean kitchen, and remodeled bathroom. The natural light which comes into the house makes so much difference. Jamaica beach was enjoyable and a very short walk or even quicker drive. We hope to go back.
