This beach house was by far one of the best I have rented at Pirates Beach. It has every amenity you need. And since it was raining some of the time we played with the games downstairs (corn hole, shuffleboard) and the games inside. I highly recommend this property!

Fabulous Home
We had a fantastic weekend at this property. The check in was a breeze and the host was responsive, attentive and super nice. The home is decorated beautifully and very relaxing. It is an easy walk to the beach and the ground level of the house has lots of activities to keep people busy on a rainy day. The teens in our group especially loved hanging out down there. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses, etc, and we were easily able to cook everything we needed. The grill also came in very handy. The mattresses were very comfortable, the layout of the house was great, and everyone had plenty of space. It was a rainy weekend and the giant games closet was also very handy. If we come back to Galveston it will be our go-to rental property for sure. We have nothing negative to report! Thank you for a great, problem free weekend!

Home Away From Home
This house feels like home! It’s the only place to stay if you have a family. Its prime location to the beach makes it a quick walk to the water. There’s all the games and beach toys you could ever want! My kids love the outdoor shower and my daughter got really good at Battleship at night. They have this amazing game closet! The beds are the best, I never want to leave them! But the patio for the my morning coffee is worth getting up. Book here and prepare for the vacation of a lifetime!

Just bring your clothes and food!
I booked Jimmie Hooks for a family summer vacation for my family of 4, as well as my brother and sister and their family. To start, our hostess Nancy had good communication; first to let us know we could check in early. Yes!! And she made sure we arrived ok and were able to access the property. The home was very clean. We cooked and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed. Oh, and there is a grill outside too! The place had it all. We had 3 small kids and 3 teenagers in our group and there was plenty of entertainment for all. From board games to books etc. We didn't have infants or toddlers in our group but the place was equipped with high chairs, a pack, and plays etc. The same was true when we geared up to head to the beach. All beach amenities are included in the home, tents boogie boards, beach toys, an umbrella, and a cart to pull it all. And btw...the beach was only a 2-minute walk. No need for a car or golf cart. Upon returning from the beach we all relished the outdoor shower that has hot and cold water along with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The bar outside was a nice touch. I felt like we had our own little private party oasis. The neighborhood was very nice and everyone was so friendly smiling and waving as they pass by. We all agreed this was the best beach house to rent for families with children of all ages. Will definitely recommend Jimmie Hooks to my family and friends.

Best Beach House in Galveston
First, the hospitality shown by the owner was seriously exceptional. The communication from the owner (Nancy) was top notch. Nancy was extremely helpful providing information about the property with precise details to aid in making sure my family and I had the best experience possible. I was very grateful for the communication. The property’s location is perfect for beach lovers like myself. Just a 2 minute walk to the beach; not to mention a convenient store, liquor store, and a pizza place all within walking distance. Bottom line, this is the absolute best beach house I have ever stayed in. Beautiful house with everything stocked with what you need to have a fabulous vacation stay with your family. This experience was a 10 out of 10 for me and my family! We will certainly be back!

Excellent beach getaway
We had the greatest time at Jimmy Hooks! The accommodations were spacious and there were so many areas to enjoy and have fun, both kids and adults alike. The walk to the beach was easy and the hosts offered everything you could need - a wagon for toting items, beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, sand toys. The list goes on and on, not to mention the indoor amenities - games, books, a fully stocked kitchen. Top it off, the hosts were very friendly and attentive, making sure all went smoothly. We are already excited to go back!

Perfect vacation. Beautiful home in a great location. House catered to our every need. Stocked full of everything you need, all the way down to step stools for the little ones to use the potty and wash their hands. Property manager (Nancy) kept us informed and answered any and all questions we had. 10/10 experience, 5 star rating, and zero complaints!

Beautiful home in a great neighborhood
This house was perfect for our large family. The host was in touch before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The house had so many thoughtful touches, especially for those with young children - baby gate on stairs (that weren't in the way if you didn't need them), pack and play, and games. It also had a fully stocked kitchen, canopies and toys for the beach, corn hole and ping pong downstairs. It's closer to the main road than the beach, but it is a very short walk to the beach and I love the Pirates Beach neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect beach rental
We had such a fun spring break in Galveston. This rental was only a short walk to the beach and was the perfect size for 2 families. The host had plenty of toys for the kids and chairs for the adults for the beach and was responsive with any questions we had. Even though the hot tub was not working at the time she made sure we were taking care of and happy. The only complaint is we ended having to go buy paper towels and garage bags before our trip was done because we used all that were given. We will definitely be staying here if we find out way to Galveston again.

Family Friendly Home Away from Home for Baby to Great Grandma
I wanted to find a nice getaway for my family (husband, 4YO and 1YO), my parents and my grandma. Man, was Jimmy Hook's the best! This house was great for a larger family to stay with plenty of bathrooms and space. My baby was able to nap in the master bedroom while we played in the living, you couldn't hear any noise, get quality walls. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. There's even toys and books for the kids!!! The bunkbed room is a great space for the kids to play. The outdoor shower was my daughter's favorite activity other than the beach. The neighborhood is so quiet and family friendly. It's a great location, just a 2 minute golf cart ride to the beach. There's everything you could ever want. Nancy was a wonderful host. Will be back again VERY soon!

Fabulous house in Pirates Beach
This home has everything! The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. There is everything you need for the beach (pop up tent, chairs, beach toys). This house was also spotless. The downstairs area is great for everyone to be together. There is a big table, shower for after the beach, hot tub, corn hole, ping pong, and plenty of other games. It is fenced in too which helps with kids. The beach access is right down the street and you can park right there to unload your stuff and set up. We will definitely be back to enjoy more family time together at this home!
