Beautiful space felt right at home
We booked Pearl Basin somewhat last minute after our other rental was damaged from the storms and it was a blessing! We wanted a spacious home for our family beach trip we take to Galveston every year. This house was so beautiful from the decor details and to the amazing swimming pool. We really liked that it was pet friendly so we could bring our dogs as well. Traci went above and beyond to accommodate us. We highly recommend this beautiful home!

Excellent stay
We stayed at the property for several days over the Fourth of July holiday. The house is great and the backyard is fantastic. The owner is communicative and helpful, and the house was in great shape when we arrived. The neighborhood was mostly quiet, even on a holiday weekend. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Memories
Our annual Galveston family trip, our second time staying at this amazing property. Traci is friendly and easy to work with as well as very easy to talk to. We spent hours in the pool with our grandkids and was perfect to going into town for dinner, the Pier and Moody Gardens. Thank you for sharing your home.

First time in at jamaica beach
This house was exactly as described by the listing as well as pictures. Quiet, cozy, and beautiful. There was 4 of us staying and this house had every amenity avaiable. The outdoor pool area was the star of the show as thats where we stayed anytime we were at the actual house. The owner was very easy to deal with and always available with answers. We truly had a great experience at pearl basin.

Was absolutely the nicest home we have stayed at in a decade of going to Galveston with our family. Very clean, amazingly decorated. Close to the beach and the private pool with so much great seating and gathering places outside. Definitely already thinking of when we can go back. Traci was a pleasure to communicate with also.

Great Escape
This home is a feast for the eyes every way you turn - inside and out. Every comfort has been carefully thought out. The gardens are full of every kind of succulent imaginable. The ground floor bedroom and outdoor walk-in shower made getting around easy for my 83 father. This is a great escape for adults.

Great weekend getaway...
This property was perfect for our family weekend getaway. Even though the weather was ultimately impacted by a Hurricane that hit the southern TX coast, we still were able to have a great time at the property. It's clear that the owner put a lot of time and effort into giving it a very unique atmosphere - and it easily stood out from most properties around it. Any questions we had for the owner were answered quickly with zero issues at all. It's definitely a property that I'd recommend to friends/family.

Beautiful Place!
The owner has done an amazing job of creating an oasis in her yard around the pool. We could hang out all day! The kitchen is well stocked with anything you might need to cook. Her home is beautifully decorated creating a feel right at home touch. There is plenty of room for the maximum amount of guests to feel comfortable. We were so blessed to have found her place three years ago and then return again this year. We look forward to another return trip!

Excellent house
Excellent house and location. Host is a very nice lady. Very strict on the max amount of personnel as well as vehicles on property. There was a false accusation one day on us exceeding the amount which was a little odd. It just confirmed that the outter cameras are definitely being monitored. Overall the house is awesome but I personally wouldn’t stay there again. Just my .02.

Amazing Getaway
The house and pool were more than we expected. Probably the nicest backyard in Jamaica Beach with a tiki hut, bbq smoker, big/clean pool with a waterslide and gorgeous foliage. The house had everything we needed to cook and relax and enjoy the weekend. Very close to many access points on the beach, some were more crowded than others but a little south we were able to find a nice, semi-secluded area. Great little coffee shop and food near the corner store, which also was nicely stocked for basic needs. Great experience and highly recommend. Possibly bring your own meats/food down in a cooler as Kroger is about a 15 minute drive- not bad at all though. Highly recommend!

Our family of twelve are all in agreement! Best Vacation Ever! Rent this place you will not be so
To give you an idea, we got there on Thursday and we were leaving that Sunday! We didn’t even go to the beach until Saturday afternoon! The tropical lush plants, decks, tiki bar, large swimming pool with a water slide, everything was so relaxing and inviting you just didn’t feel like leaving! Looking at our pictures taken there, you would swear we were on a tropical island! The inside of the home is immaculately decorated with beach theme throughout. Flat screen tv’s in every room, comfortable bedding throughout the home and in the kitchen I would challenge you to come up with some utensil you want that you can’t find! This house has it all! Don’t think twice about the price because your memories and pictures taken there are priceless! I forgot to mention the owner is super sweet and reachable at any time throughout your stay! I would just text her one word.. like broom? Within half a minute I got a text back..hall closet! We definitely will be back next summer!

Airy Beautiful Slice of Paradise!
SUPERB! Traci is very involved with her beautiful property, and it shows! Upon entering Pearl Basin you can feel the stress melt away greeted by the GORGEOUS and lush plant life that surrounds the wonderful pool and palapa bar area! There are a myriad of seating options for those who like sun or shade and even an outdoor sink in the bar! The dual outdoor shower is absolutely perfect and well appointed with an assortment high quality shampoos and body washes! The downstairs area was PERFECT for our older kids in the group to hang out and sleep on the terrific accommodations including a full bath! Once I unlocked the door upstairs my senses were pleasantly greeted with a fresh clean scent and cool A/C. The coastal eclectic design is to DIE FOR! You can see that her pieces have come from her travels and it’s a pleasure to look at them! Each bedroom has a wonderful vanity and closet area, windows and a ceiling fan, and fantastic clean crisp linens. The towels are incredibly soft and the bathrooms are appointed with high quality shampoo/conditioner and soaps. The kitchen has every utensil and serving dishes imaginable to man, and all appliances are fully functional and clean. It’s a very short drive to the beach and there’s a convenience store and liquor store about 1/2 mile away. (I neglected to mention that we were a group of 13). The community is sooo nice and in speaking with neighbors they expressed how much they enjoy having Traci as a neighbor! I can tell you with absolute confidence that you will LOVE Pearl Basin as much as we did!! ❤️

Lovely Home
This home was so well equipped and decorated it seemed more like a home than a vacation rental. It had everything you might need!!! Took an afternoon to realize it was okay to relax, as the host was scared for our visit to her home (for Covid fears) and we were scared to touch anything, being it was filled with so many personal items. Once we got past it, we relaxed and really enjoyed the stay. The pool area was lush and beautiful. Pool was well maintained and enjoyable. We decided we liked it better than the beach. Beware of mosquito invasion in the pool area! After letting the host know, she suggested we spray the yard with Cutter Mosquito spray from the local hardware store. We did so the next morning, which worked well for the duration of our stay. I would recommend this Lovely Home!

About the host

Hosted by Traci Taylor Smith

Host profile image
I am a business owner in the Clear Lake area.
I have been coming to Galveston since I was a little girl visiting relatives and vacationing… I fell in love with the Jamaica Beach neighborhood years back , and soon knew I wanted to be a homeowner down on the bayside…
I enjoy the outdoors by the water, and feel very relaxed @ Pearl Basin.
I have personally refinished many pieces of the furniture in my new home. Not to mention designed the new bathrooms and Kitchen. I did all the decor as well. I am very passionate about my new project, and hope to share it with people that will take care of it and appreciate all my hard work. This home is not meant for those who want to party & have a wild time. It’s meant for small families that want to relax, cook, swim & enjoy a nice classy ambiance.
Find PEARL BASIN on FaceBook to see more about property.

Why they chose this property

This property is a large home, to accommodate a small gathering comfortably. It is nicely decorated with a fun eclectic seashore vibe . Along with all new bedding, soft fresh sheets & towels and a fully stocked new kitchen for those who love to cook & entertain.
It's a perfect place for a girls get-away, or fishermen that want to drop their boat in boat slip & dock their boat in slip next to house for their stay.. Also recommend for families with older children that love outdoor activities…

What makes this property unique

Enjoy beautiful sunsets off of breezy balcony overlooking large pool, surrounded by beautiful lush gardens, along with the wetlands & canal on one side of house… and on opposite balcony enjoy beautiful sunrise over the basin, while watching the boats drop in right off my property, and enjoying your water toy as well.
Lot's of wide open spaces set in a lush tropical environment which puts one in a relaxing vacation mode.
This property is surrounded by water, tropical palms & flowers, a thatched hut that sits 9 to 10 people, along with a large counter bar & outdoor sink great for cooking & entertaining. Wide open skies to enjoy mother nature, so If you love the stars & moonlit nights, sounds of palm trees rustling in sea breezes, this is the place for you!
Also a great place to drop a kayak, or paddle board in for a nice ride on the water to see all sorts of wildlife on pretty water. Or fish off the dock, and then take a bike ride towards the bay to catch a beautiful sunset. And just 10 blocks away from the beach...
