Great location, perfect house for our family trip

This house was exactly as described and it was perfect for our family vacation! We traveled with four kids (6, 4, 2, and 1). We loved the location. Jamaica Beach is just far enough outside of Galveston to avoid the crowds but close enough to hit up tourist attractions if you want! And the house was a very short walk to the beach. We could see the house doors from where we camped out on the beach each day. Made it very easy to go back and forth for lunch, reprieve from the sun, kid naps, etc. Property Manager was very responsive and easy to communicate with. House had all of the necessities and there really wasn’t anything it was missing (would suggest bringing your own shampoo/soap as the ones provided are pretty small.) The only thing it was missing was beach towels, toys, chairs/wagon. We had to rent everything beach related which was an additional thing to coordinate but it worked out fine. Very pleased with this house and our experience. Would highly recommend!

Sweet, modest house with excellent access to beach.

The house was modest but clean, and our family was comfortable and felt very safe. Overall, we had a great time playing on the beach and in the gulf, which was exactly what we were looking for.Management responded promptly to our requests and accommodated our needs.

Nice place for a short stay on the beach

Location was great and easy to find. We could see the water/beach while in the front room. Enjoyed the table that could fit my family for meals. The kitchen was great to cook in and I enjoyed the open concept so everyone felt like they were apart of what was going on while in the house. Some minimal cosmetic updates needed but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. We would stay again!

Close to beach

The house is in a great location, second row in and a quick 1 min walk to the beach. The kitchen was nice and the layout was good for our family. However, the house needs some TLC. The floors are kinda wonky, the window by the front door is broken, there are were lots of little things that need fixing. I did see a few bugs during our stay so I feel like the place could use a visit from a pest control company. I love the location but I don't think we will be staying in this particular house again.
