Paradise mistaken
The home is absolutely beautiful and in a great location. However the pool/hotub pump was out, the refrigerator didn't work properly, we had 2 shower issues and a cold master bath that requires a plumber on 2nd day, several pieces of furniture were broken so limited seating, the outdoor electronics did not work,,the outdoor areas were not cleaned and had debris everywhere.

Beautiful location but rundown home
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Showed up, fridge door clearly open for days, took 3 days to get someone to come fix it and get fridge to temp. We lost food. Did not offer to buy ice or provide coolers. Separate ice maker didnt work. Couches were run down and sagging, kitchen chair broken. Only 1/3 of outdoor furniture that were in the pictures and no chaise lounges. Pool wasnt heated when we showed up even after guy said it was in an email I sent to remind them to turn it on. I had to find manual online to get pool heater on because Joel didnt know how to do it and pool guy didnt show for 2 days. Washer broke after 3 days. Door spring latches were broken and springs were gouging out wood and paint on door frame and was clearly happening for months. Master bed was broken and sagging in the middle. Shower head was broken and sprayed water up at the ceiling. Much more that I called and emailed about and got no response to my long email listing issues. Nice property but poorly maintained and zero management of rentals. Joel was dismissive and rude. He tried to charge me $18 for more sheets while he was there assessing the fridge that didnt work because the mattress we wanted sheets for "wasn't included in the rental". He also told us the outdoor seating just got moved around a lot like we did not bother looking everywhere for it. The 2 women in the office were nice, accommodating, and regretful when I dealt with them. Half the issues would have been fixed by a simple walkthrough and some attention to detail. This house is clearly not managed well and either the management company isnt telling the owners about it or the owners just dont want to put money into it. Reminded me of a nice frat house. Looks good from a distance but, up close, it is a mess. Great location but find a different rental.

Not well maintained
In general, we enjoyed our stay. That said, there were a number of items that we were disappointed in, that truly didn’t match the photos and description of the property. This included: - Outside furniture falling apart - Outside grill doors broken, grill not cleaned - Outdoor equipment (kayaks, paddleboards) were super dirty and needed cleaned - Garage was very dirty and cluttered - Spa/pool wouldn't heat - Dirty kitchen drawers/pantry - Master bathroom not cleaned well - Fridge didn't seal fully to keep things cold - No extra supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We did call the property manager to get more toilet paper and they brought some. - Cracked windows, BB hole through one of the bedroom windows - Front gate broken It felt like this house had been lived in previously and the owner moved out and turned into a VRBO, and it just hasn't been thoroughly cleaned or managed well. We still had a fantastic time, but definitely don't think it met the standards equivalent to the price.

Best House on the Island
Everything was as advertised. The house was clean and everything was ready for us. Caught a ton of trout under the lights and the reds came through the channel during the tides. Ideal for families with kids. The deck below was perfect for us to sit and watch the kids fish. The pool was the winner. The beach was blown out one of the days, so having the pool was crucial. We are now making this a yearly event

Wonderful house for a family getaway!
My husband, myself, our 4 year old & my brother and sister in law and their two kids had a wonderful stay here. The house was clean, perfect size for us, and provided plenty of fun and activities for our week long stay. The pool was nice and clean upon arrival and someone came once while we were there to clean and vacuum it again. The AC in the main living quarters went out in the wee hours of the morning our first night there….we made one phone call and someone was there within 3 hours and had it fixed! We were so appreciative of their promptness. The beds were comfy, plenty of towels and toiletries were provided, and the fishing was really good for us. Overall we really have no complaints and would book this house again in a heartbeat. This is our 3rd stay in 3 years at Jamaica Beach and we’ve stayed at a different house each time with this one being our favorite!

Perfect large family beach house
Great house. Very clean. Lots of beds. Towel sets on every bed. Industrial fridge. Great view of beach and beach access. Best house we have ever stayed at. Completely stocked kitchen for large groups. Manager checked in with us daily. Can’t wait to come back.

Better than expected!
After reading a couple of reviews of previous guests we were skeptical but proceeded to book anyway. We were not disappointed. This is a fabulous property. It was very clean, and the amenities were exceptional. Everything we needed to get us started was available, pots, pans, dishes, bath items, paper items, etc. All appliances were commercial grade and very nice. The outside grill was natural gas so no need to worry about running out of propane. Very scenic property as it was nice to see recreational and fishing boats travel in and out of the canal as we sat in the shaded patio with a cool drink. The pool and jacuzzi were great. However, the pool lights did not work. All the properties are built on stilts, so it is not recommended for someone who has difficulties climbing stairs. All an all it was great, and we would recommend this property to others. Yes, the property managers were attentive as well to all our needs. Thanks for a great time with our family gathering...we shall return!

The house was a letdown!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I don't think we got what we paid for with this rental. There were only a couple of chairs to sit in out by the canal, and they were the $10 plastic adirondack chairs which won't hold an adult for longer than an hour without breaking. The pool light was out. The "security" gate was broken and had a literal string tied around it holding it shut. The internet was out for about a day. The fridge at the outdoor bar was disgusting and smelled like bait. The upper deck was covered in bird droppings. Just overall, this house was disappointing. It could be really nice, but at this moment it just has too many things that did not meet expectations.

Not worth the price
We picked this house because we are avid fishermen. It advertised "fishing lights". We checked in on Monday and left on Sunday. We called the office on Monday to let them know the lights were not working. Again on Tuesday, again on Wednesday and again on Thursday. They were not helpful and it was very frustrating. We told them several times we picked this house because of the "fishing lights". They didn't care. They finally got someone out there late on Friday. And come to find out it was just flood lights that were not working. There were no "fishing lights". There was cockroaches in the house and it was hard to regulate the AC. For the over $6000 we spent for 6 days and to not have fishing lights was a huge disappointment. When we checked out and dropped the keys off we again voiced our disappointment and lack of importance we received from their staff only to be shooed off.

Great Experience!
I rented this house for a quick Spring Break getaway for the kiddos, and we really enjoyed it. Some highlights - Pool was heated, hot tub, separate ice maker in the indoor bar, outdoor bar with TV and mini fridge/sink right by the dock, fire pit, outdoor gas grill, and lots of recreational gear that they allow guests to use. The rooms were nice and bathrooms were great. The Master Bathroom had a huge shower, bidet, jacuzzi tub, fireplace, TV, huge closet. Each room had a full bathroom and there was a powder room in the main living area and another downstairs. Thanks for the great stay! We will definitely be back.
