About this property

The Cozy Cottage at the beach

Jamaica Beach is a unique community located on Galveston's West End. It is a small-town community with full-time residents as well as visitors who appreciate the scenic sunsets, the quiet streets for walking/bicycling, and the friendliness of everyone. Our beach house is located conveniently near the bird sanctuary, Galveston St. Park, and the beach. Jamaica Beach has its own new public pool with a huge shallow area for the kids. Admission fee is $5/day per person with children under the age of six being admitted free with parents. The boat launch is only blocks away with the convenience of a sandwich shop, grill, hardware store, Red Box, and a small grocery store nearby. The Cozy Cottage is a free-standing studio-plan (open, no interior walls). The cottage is surrounded by palm trees. There is one queen-sized bed. There are living/dining areas, and a convenient sized kitchen. Ideally, the cottage would be a quiet getaway for a couple of friends or that significant other. If needed, there is a sofa bed. Towels/linens are provided along with paper towels and toilet tissue. The kitchen is adequately supplied with a coffee pot, microwave, and dishwasher. For cooking, dishes and cookware are also available. The electric stove and the refrigerator are new.

Affordable beach cabin with Thoughtful Owners

The owners were very accommodating on ways to see every guest including our 3 year old was thought of. We were looking for somewhere affordable where we could enjoy the beach without breaking the bank on lodging. It was close to everything. This cabin had just enough room for a small family, and plenty to do between family games, grill and sitting areas, and any supplies and beverage variety you could think of to feel like you were home away from home.

Cozy Cottage

We always love coming down to Jamaica Beach for the summer and this visit did not disappoint. Richard promptly answered any question I had regarding our stay. The cottage was perfect for my family of 3. It was close to the beach and was very peaceful at night. We will definitely be returning to the Cozy Cottage.

Great place

Our first time visiting Jamaica Beach and we weren’t disappointed. The home had everything we needed. It is a no frills place but we felt as if we were visiting a family home for the week. Very comfortable and a welcoming feel . And for that price we have no complaints!

Good but in need of repair. 10 blocks from beach.

The property was nice but in need of some simple repairs and maintenance. The beach was farther than the impression given. If your young 10 blocks is not far but we had to drive. Permanent neighbors had dogs that barked constantly. There was lots of lawn chairs locked in the garage that we had no access to and none outside, Laundry area and machines were usable but needed cleaned bad. Property manager indicated that paper products was provided, but being in that business it was obvious that what was there was left by previous guest. Be prepared to purchase what you need if staying longer. The listing indicated housekeeping but we saw no one. If extra charge it was unclear.

Perfect place for a quick getaway

The house was exactly as stated in the description. Nothing fancy, but very clean and comfortable. It is basically one large room with a half wall separating the bedroom from the living room. The kitchen was well stocked and efficient. We had a minor issue with the DVD player, but the owners took care of it immediately. Since it rained most of the time we were there, we really looked forward to watching some movies in the evening. I would definitely stay again. Just a short walk or drive to the beach or to the bay. Quiet and cozy unit

Sofa is not a usable bed.

The mattress is nothing but a flat pad with a bunch of squashed springs. The pull out support is worn out in the middle.

I really liked the house and location. There are many amenities listed, but the fact that wi-fi isn't listed shouldn't be overlooked. The house is not equipped with wi-fi.
