Best couple retreat.

We were hesitant to spend so much on a place we would only be at to only sleep at. We arrived on Friday evening from Dallas, and then had an all day fishing excursion planned. After we checked in, no one wanted to leave! We felt so comfortable in the house and loved the downstairs bar and fishing spot that we cancelled our dinner reservations Saturday. I have already recommended the house to several friends.

Comfortable, Welcoming and Convenient

Very welcoming and set up for people to have a good time. Great for families. We didn't use the downstairs bedroom, but used the 3rd bathroom it provided when we had 6 people trying to shower after the beach at the same time. The setup inside and out invites you to just relax and have a good time. It was a great layout for us to stay with my son, his wife and two kids, plus had plenty of room to host the rest of the family for a meal and afternoon of games when it was our turn. (This was part of an annual extended family beach week, so we were spread out between houses.) It's an easy and very short drive to the beach, and easy trip into the Strand, Seawall or other locations on the Island. My daughter-in-law was on the fence between staying canalside or beachside, but I think this home may have swayed her to canalside as the water is right there when you wake up and go to bed. It's very peaceful. Plus, we enjoyed watching boats come and go on the canal. Our grandkids had a great time experiencing crabbing for the first time in the canal.

Great stay

Overall, great. Beach toys for the kids. Kayak was fun. Great location, towards the back of the neighborhood. Did not use the bar, but definitely would have if there were more adults. Used the community park 2 out of 4 days. Not complaining, but, if there are future upgrades shade for the upstairs deck and an outlet for a speaker. Would definitely book again!!!

Beautiful Location!

The good: The location is amazing. We loved the canal and the proximity to the beach. It was nice to be able to fish and use the kayak and bicycles at the facility. We really loved all of that and the weather was nice and we enjoyed our stay. The not so good: We did not have anyone stay in the downstairs area as the cockroaches scared our teenage girls. It would have been nice to know there was a Keurig so we would have brought the cups as the traditional coffee maker did not work. We also did not bring soap or dish soap as we thought it might be there and had to go buy some. None of these are terrible things, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. Everything was smooth and we really enjoyed it all!

Perfect Getaway

This Jamaica Beach house was the perfect getaway to celebrate my buddy getting married. We spent most of our time sitting at the outdoor bar and taking in the beautiful views. The amenities are everything you need and more. As an added value, a food mart, cantina, and pizzeria are conveniently close by. A+++

Better Than Expected

My family and I got together at this beautiful home for a weekend of relaxation. This home is better than we expected!! We planned on having a beach day but the home is right on the water so we stayed all weekend enjoying the water and the outdoor kitchen! The outdoor restroom is perfect so no one has to go upstairs. We will absolutely book again this summer!

Great Venue for Family Thanksgiving

House was stocked with pots, pans, plates and large enough to accommodate our Family Thanksgiving. Large kitchen, spacious living room and two levels of deck space allowed comfortable seating for the holiday dinner and conversations afterwards. Good location for fishing as well throughout the week.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Young

We've lived in Houston for the last 50 years and have been vacationing in Galveston all of those years. We stayed at Jamaica Beach canal home rentals for the majority of those 50 years, so we decided it was time to make one of these wonderful properties our own.

We just recently acquired another property in Jamaica Beach on the canals. Please check out our other property on East Bayside Way, ID: 3753639.

Why they chose this property

Our love of fishing has lead us to rentals on Jamaica Beach canals for the majority of those 50 years. We decided it was time to make one of these wonderful properties our own. When we looked at this house, we knew it was perfect for us. It has great fishing, wonderful views and plenty of room for our family and friends to gather either upstairs or downstairs at the bar. We love Jamaica Beach so much that we now have 2 properties. Our other property is located on East Bayside Way ID: 3753639.

What makes this property unique

The swing and hammock on the deck downstairs that looks out across the canal was too inviting to pass up. We knew this wonderful house was perfect and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.
