Quiet Bay Retreat

We enjoyed this quaint home in Jamaica Beach. Great views and multiple outdoor seating areas. Great fishing off of the back deck…the canals never disappoint! This really quenched this West Texas Gal’s Salt Water Soul!

Great Location with Lots of Amenities

We loved our stay here. It is conveniently located near Galveston stores and restaurants, a short distance to the beach and right on the canal. There was plenty for our teens to do - fishing, swimming and kayaking in the canal, biking, and TVs in each bedroom.

Wonderful stay at the West Bay Beauty!

Easy location to find on the island. Love that it is pet friendly. All the furniture and amenities were well kept and beautiful. The process of getting into the home was easy enough and the communication between host & guest was great. WILL bring my family again if we stay in Jamaica Beach. Thanks West Bay Beauty!!

Perfect place to stay!!

We stay here at least twice a year and WE LOVE it! It feels like a home away from home. It’s so well stocked that I don’t even spend a ton of time packing; everything I need is there! The house is so clean and cozy. The beach is so close by. The street is quiet and restful. The Pelican House is our very favorite spot on the island.

Best Time Relaxing

Due to a last minute issue with the original home we rented, we were offered West Bay Beauty. This home had plenty to offer and we were so happy. From the kayaks and bikes that we took full advantage of, to the games and gaming systems that were fun for all. The kitchen provided everything that was needed to cook...all we needed was our food. No room disappointed and provided a great night sleep. Would highly recommend this home if you are looking to relax, make memories, and enjoy the amenities.

Perfect get away

This house was the perfect size for our little family and super convenient being able to fish right out the back door with a new born. The down stairs masters was comfy and a nice place to cool off after spending so much time outdoors without having to walk up the stairs constantly.

Waste of Money

House was dirty at arrival (light switches & door trim had dirty fingerprints, dried booger on mirror trim & dry dark spots on wall by toilet). On the first night (1 of 11) after we had went out to dinner, we weren’t able to get into the property. The electronic lock failed & wouldn’t unlock. We called the 24-hour number. That lady said that she was going to reset the code, even though that wasn’t the issue. She reset it anyways. That didn’t work. She gave us a lockbox code & said it should be under the stairs. We found the lockbox, but it was empty. She called the property manager. She arrived, but didn’t have a key to the property. So, she called a maintenance worker to bring a new door lock. He tried drilling out the lock, but was unsuccessful. The door had to be kicked in. We finally got in the house at 4am. The manager said she would credit back our card for our inconvenience & it would take 3-5 days. The next day, the ceiling on the downstairs unit started leaking over the bed. I texted the manager & told her that it was the upstairs bathroom that was leaking. First, she sent over an a/c guy. Then, she sent over a plumber. (This was on my son’s birthday & I missed out on going on a deep sea fishing trip to wait on him.). He determined that it was the washing machine. So, then I had to be there for an appliance repair man. (We brought our dog, so someone had to be there.) After a week, it was repaired, but still no money back. Oh, and several bugs!

Best Island Retreat

Excellent place, great beds, excellent location. Only downside was the kitchen ants and roaches. Downstairs air conditioner was very noisy. Kayaks were the best way to relax.
