Let me begin by saying we really enjoyed our stay here and definitely would stay here again. This is a very nice house and most importantly very clean. The outdoor area is great and the sleeping arrangements were great for our group of 8 adults (ranging in age from 20-79). The beds were comfortable. There are just a few things that could have improved the trip but none of them would keep me from staying here. The outdoor cushions were very worn and probably need to be replaced. The other thing is I think the kitchen needs a few more items to be stocked. There are only 8 dinner plates, 8 forks, 5 mugs, no 9x13 baking dish or cookie sheet. Almost all dishes are plastic making it difficult to put anything in the microwave. They did have things I wasn't expecting them to have such as a mixer, crockpot, sandwich maker etc. The can opener works but is not user friendly but the ice cream scoop is awesome! There was also basically only 1 towel per person (they did not dry over night hanging them on the hooks) 2 would be nice. I felt I spent more time than I would have liked washing dishes and towels. Like I said these last things are my preference and would not keep me from staying here again, I would just pack differently.

Very nice stay!

We loved the convenience of being close enough to restaurants and sightseeing, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The house was very nice. The big deck was awesome!

An overall pleasant stay, even with a few issues.

Nicely appointed, very clean, great linens. A general pleasant experience. First impression was poor due to shabby condition of stairs leading to the main area, but inside was nice. Some carpets showing wear. 4th bedroom, private and separate with no access to main area and no closet or hanging space and shower was barely lukewarm rather than hot. Our upstairs guests complained that toilets did not work properly. Shower head clip unit broke, and we replaced and installed an entire new unit. Smoke alarm went off at 2 AM and we bought a new battery. Trouble with the door locks. Was unable to lock the upstairs entry upon leaving. I hope the cleanup crew gets there soon. I thought the 'on-the-water' marketing description was a little over the top, as the water is a narrow boat channel within a boating community. When adding all the fees and the poor with communications. I feel it was way overpriced.

Needs some work done

Carpet and rugs need to be replaced. Main toilet upstairs would usually not completely flush. No propane in fire pit. Washer and dryer are located in garage storage area which is very inconvenient and one is rusted. Could be nice place to stay but needs some work.

Comfy house

This is a great place to stay in Jamaica Beach for a family. The beds are very comfortable and the house is family friendly. It is on a canal that you can fish and swim in - more family fun. Close to the beach.

Relaxing stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It served so many needs for our family. My children were able to paddle board or kayak right on the canal. We also spent a few evenings fishing right in the backyard. My son enjoyed the hammock, and I loved quiet nights on the deck, gazing at the stars. The beds were comfy, we had plenty of space for the 6 of us. Thank you again!

Memorial Day family trip

Overall enjoyed our stay. Convenient to the beach. Back porch rugs and cushions/pillows were rather worn, faded and uninviting. But inside was nice. Enjoyed the living area large couch. We could all sit comfortably. Downstairs is completely separate area which we were unaware of but worked out for our son and girlfriend.

Casa Playa stay

The home is comfortable and beautifully appointed. It had all of the kitchen supplies that we needed and plenty of space to spread out. Even though it was chilly, we could enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset. The outdoor fire helped. Thanks for a great stay.
