We had a great stay at this beach house. The hosts were helpful and responsive in the planning process and answered all our questions quickly! The livingroom was spacious and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
We had a groups of friends stay here for a weekend trip; everyone enjoyed the house and had a great time. It is very short drive to the public beach, rooms were very clean, and the hosts made check in/out super simple.
Would recommend this rental and would definitely stay again in the future.
What a wonderful time at this VRBO. The place is great with a lot of updates and the owners are on top of things. This will be our go to when in Jamaica Beach.
Loved the house it was very clean very roomy and we love the game room because the weather was kind of nasty outside so it gave us something to do. We had a great time. Canāt wait to stay again next year.
It was amazing the most relaxing and quiet time with our family just relaxing and hanging out we will rent again. Owners are amazing made us feel very comfortable also very nice for my emotional support animal. This is a must stay again give it all Gold Stars
Overall, the house was perfect for the group! The game room was perfect for the kids and there was plenty of space for the grownups to visit. Jamaica Beach is much better as far as the Galveston beaches go, and youāre not far from Pleasure Pier
Our family spent 4 days in Galveston at this lovely home and everything was perfect. We spent evenings on the porch, enjoyed ping-pong, pool and Pac-man in the game room and made a great seafood dinner in the well stocked kitchen. Jose and Anna were incredibly responsive and answered any questions we had with such kindness. We will definitely stay here again!
Our family had a wonderful stay over spring break! The game room was a huge hit with both adults and kids! The property was perfectly located a few minutes from the beach. Loved the fact that the property was at the end of the cul de sac, very private and quiet. Would definitely recommend!
Stayed for a special family gathering. Great layout heads to beds for my adult children and their spouses. Wonderful upper and lower porches and game room. Even perfect for our small dog. Super responsive host. Would love to stay there again.
Rented this gorgeous home during our AIA Sandcastle competition with friends. Loved the cleanliness of the home, comfort of the beds and couches, as well as the bonus game room. Excellent communication with home owners. Would rent again or recommend!
I went with friends and family for my birthday. We had a great time. The rental is very spacious and comfortable. The game room was complete with all pieces and had a lot of variety. Altogether excellent.
We all enjoyed our two night stay. Not too far from beachfront just a very short drive. We all enjoyed the new gameroom but one wall unit is not enough to cool for this time of year in Galveston. We bbq'd and had smores enjoying most of the amenities offered. Would definitely stay again.
House was perfect for our group. Spent good amount of time in the game room. Close to the beach and other activities we did. Had some small problems with some of the appliances but was taken care of by the owner
We had a great time. Our kids loved the game room. My SD had space to run and fenced in area. Everything was there. Communication between myself a d the host was too notch
The property
is walking distance to the beach, community pool, gas station, and eatery. There is a small grocery within a mile. It has most about erverything,including fresh meat, and bakery. The houni se itself is has just about everything for family.
The beds are super comfortable. The full si,e washer and dryer is a bo us. We were happy to have a fenced area for our mini daschunds.
I have to say that Iāve stayed at many beach houses and this one by far was the best for families. The game room was perfect for the kids to be entertained. The yard is fenced in so knowing the kids were okay when playing outdoors was a huge bonus. The home was very clean and organized. Having the extras like the wagon, tent canopy, & beach towels for the beach was great. That was less that we needed to pack. The 4th room was the game room which is great for a teen who wants to stay up late or away from the adults. Absolute great experience!
The location is perfect, just a 2 minute drive from the beach and it was so convenient having a corner store on the way. The house was very clean and in great condition. We had some minor issues during our stay and the host was super responsive and attentive. We didn't end up using the game room as much as we thought we would, but the main house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and multiple kids ranging from age 13-1.5 years old. We loved having the gate at the top of the deck for our dogs as well as the very secure fence around the grass. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. My family wants to stay here again next year!
My family and I decided to take a quick family trip to the Galveston area. This home fit our family of 2 adults and 2 toddlers very well! The house is bright and comfortable and the hosts are very friendly and have great communication. The gameroom made a perfect place to hang out after putting the toddlers to bed! Just bring your baby monitors because it is separate from the house. It is in Jamaica Beach, about 20 minutes from Galveston and all the hot spots, which we wanted as we were looking for a relaxing getaway, uet close enough to enjoy everything Galveston has to offer wjen your ready fornit. The one negative to the area is there aren't as many restaurants around.
The hosts have many beach essentials, books, games, and most everything you need to enjoy your stay! Highly recommend!
The place was great for our short stay. My three kiddos absolutely loved the gameroom and area to run around in. It was nice to have a fenced in backyard so I didnāt have to worry about my 4-year-old running away. The house had all of the essentials provided, including coffee, shampoo and laundry detergent.I appreciate not having to have that expense. One downside was that we didnāt have access to ice or water from the fridge. We did not bring any drinks with us so as this point wasnāt mention we in the original description. In the Texas heat, I would think that this would be essential to provide. Yet, the host was always good to communicate when we had concerns. One other thing that I would advise is to bring your own beach chairs. The ones provided were greatly torn, dirty and had bird poop in them. The sand toys needed a good going through as well so bringing your own would be advisable. Last, the surface of the place looked clean but as we spent time in the house⦠dust was piled up in places (⦠like on picture frames), metal was rusted in places and lights were not working. The house could probably do with a deep clean and touch-up of places. The games needed to be reorganized as well. Overall, it was a good stay.
I wanted to take a moment to write a glowing review for Sand N Reel. It was an absolute dream come true, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. I would like to express my gratitude and give this property a well-deserved five-star rating.
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a seamless check-in process. The property itself exceeded all of my expectations. The house was immaculate, well decorated, and had all the amenities one could ask for. It truly felt like a home away from home.
The location of the beach house was perfect. With bay views just a short walk away, I was able to enjoy the beauty of the coastline throughout my stay. The well-maintained outdoor space provided a peaceful retreat to relax. I especially enjoyed the patio area where I could enjoy my morning coffee.
Inside the beach house, every detail was carefully thought out. The furnishings were comfortable and stylish, and the kitchen was equipped with modern appliances and utensils. I appreciated the attention to detail in providing essential items such as fresh linens, towels, and toiletries.
One of the standout features of this property was the exceptional customer service provided by the property management team. From the moment I made my reservation to the day I checked out, they were always available and willing to help answer any of my questions or concerns.
The owners worked with us to rearrange our stay as it was happening on the day the hurricane was scheduled to hit. I understand he gave up his own family vacation to accommodate us which was above and beyond. We also forgot and left behind our car key and the owner's cleaner got that mailed back to us with a small handling fee. We are very grateful as that saved us a couple of hundred dollars by avoiding replacement.
The property itself is very much like the pictures. There were a few things not working which were the fault of mother nature. The firepit did not work for us but I'm sure the owner will be fixing that as he seemed very conscientious. Or it could have been user error on our part. Everything else was in perfect working order. Lots of beach toys which we used and the game room was nice. I enjoyed playing Pac Man.
The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed. The property itself is located midway between the Canals and the beach. We drove our car to the beach each day but it is definitely bikeable and walkable in the right weather. The property is super clean. I loved the dog door for our pooch. We had no idea he knew how to use one. We ended up promptly installing one in our own house after that experience.
