Great Communication
Well unfortunately due to the hurricane that came through. We were unable to stay there. The host stayed in communication trying make it happen but Mother Nature and Electricity just didn’t happen. We do plan to stay in the future but would always recommend this stay.

Amazing
House was as advertised, very clean and all the basics were provided. Fishing, and views are great, pool and outside amenities can’t be beat. Had storms which caused the pool to get dirty a couple of days, property managers had someone there asap to clean it, will definitely book our next vacation here absolutely no complaints.

Good place on the Bay
The house is an updated two-story on the Bay in Jamaica Beach with super east access to the beach across the highway. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Important to note that the primary bedroom is on the second floor and there are also stairs to get to the house first floor. If you have trouble navigating stairs this wouldn't be a good place. The views from the balconies and the bar/pool downstairs are fantastic! It's a really quiet place and very calming. We stayed here in the summer and for the holidays. Two negatives: both times the bunkbeds were not made up and it's not easy to make them. And, the "1/2 bath" is a toilet and small sink in an unfinished room behind the bar outside, so you have to go outside to use it. Finally, and it's not a big deal, the only condiments in the house are salt and pepper shakers and some coffee filters (lots of coffee filters). But, we came back a second time knowing all this and had a very good time!

Listing Misleading
We found the house to be very nice. House was very clean, bedrooms were nice size, living and kitchen area was great, ac worked well, outdoor kitchen was great. Pool was dirty and green when we got there! Cleaned the second day of our stay then landscapers came right after and blew grass all in it. So basically lost 2 days of pool use! Listing was misleading. Said great for Fishermans getaway. Could use boat slip but our boat didn’t even fit in slip but was able to tie up to side. Said fish cleaning station which there was none. And most importantly, you didn’t have access to the boat ramp! We have stayed in sea isle many times and have always had access. Closest access was not convenient! Would probably not have booked this house if we had known we didn’t have boat ramp access. Not clear in the listing.

The location of the property is fabulous; however, the outdoor kitchen did not meet expectations. The VRBO site stated there was a gas grill, which there was, but it took a lot of effort to make it work. Also, the photos showed a downstairs TV in the outdoor kitchen, and there was not one. The pool was great, but when we arrived, there was lots of hair in the pool that we had to clean out before using. The view of the sunset from this property cannot be beat, and the fishing off the dock was good. Watching the boats go by all day and evening was fun. Overall, a great property, except for the outdoor kitchen which was lacking.

Perfect rental!
Great area! The pool was nice in the afternoons and get back from beach. The outdoor decks were ample and gave us space. The fishing was great for some crabs! The house had things you need and two fridges one up and down. The restroom on first floor was a nice touch as well. We rented a golf cart through K6 and drop off was seamless.

Wonderful weekend
We had a great weekend at Margaritaville in Sea Isle. It was my husband and I and our 2 adult children and their significant others. It was a great size for us. There was plenty of outside seating for us. The location in Sea Isle is great! Walking distance to the marina and restaurant. Quick drive to the beach across the road. It seems the master upstairs runs warmer than the rest of the house. We needed to buy an additional fan to be comfortable at night. The bottom bunk wasn't made, but we quickly found sheets and did it ourselves. We will definitely consider this property again in the future.

I've been coming down to Galveston and rented many homes for 5 years now and I can tell you this is by far the place I've booked. The place was extremely clean and. great layout. I'll be renting out the place for now on...

We rented a golf cart to go to the beach which was awesome!! No sand in our cars!! House was very cleaned and well stocked with necessary items.
