Great house! We fished during the day, went to The Strand, cooked in the well stocked kitchen, and slept great on comfortable beds. Plenty of space and didn’t even use one room. Would be a great spot for a Girls’ Weekend (or guys’) too!

Great Stay

I had a great stay with the family. It’s a spacious comfortable home with a well equipped kitchen and prep space. The kayaks, fishing rods and crabbing traps were an extra perk. We also spent an afternoon at the beach that was close by with very easy access. I highly recommend booking this rental.

Beautiful Bay View with Cozy touches

We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean, and well stocked. There were tons of cozy touches, which made our stay more enjoyable. The house has comfortable beds, pillows, and a great kitchen. We especially enjoyed the porch, and the view of the Bay. The kids loved fishing from the pier. Thank you!

Awesome House!

This was a great house to stay at, they had everything! Everything was clean and house was huge. They even had kayaks we used and crab cages. We caught a few blue crabs with the cages and cooked them up. They also had fishing poles and my son caught a lot of pinfish and a 16” speckled trout. Would definitely stay here again.

New Year Cheer

We loved our stay in this Jamaica Beach getaway. We enjoyed the large living area and well-equipped kitchen. There was plenty of space to spread out and relax. The couch has a special ability to lull you into wonderful naps. The kids had a special visit with their grandmother and also enjoyed some winter kayaking in the canal. This is a great place for a family get together. Highly recommend. Owner is very attentive and friendly!

The neighbors were very friendly as well. Tons of water activity’s are included here, and the downstairs bar was our favorite spot. Overall nothing I would’ve changed.

What a wonderful rental! It's gorgeous, very spacious, and on the water. The deck is to die for: it's covered with ceiling fans and lots of comfortable places to sit. Jennifer made check in so easy and was extremely responsive to anything we needed. The kitchen had everything you needed, and they thought of everything, like labeling the light switched. We loved staying here and appreciate you sharing your beautiful home with us!

We had so much fun on the deck, so many water toys. we caught 10 crab in traps. the area around the deck, had many chairs and a tv outside. the water area was nice to get in and clean.

Double nickel celebrations

This was an exceptional stay. The owner was gracious and thought of everything down to the last detail. It was beautifully decorated. We lucked out with warm Christmas decorations that just added to the ambiance. The rooms were of good size and suited 6 adults easily. We enjoyed the kayaks and SUP’s. It was cold so we didn’t benefit from the outdoors as much but we will when we visit again because we definitely will. Would totally recommend. Great place!

Great Family Vacation

The house is beautiful. In a mostly quiet location. (There was some construction going on in the neighborhood and occasionally dogs barking but not ruining the stay at all). It was comfortable and roomy. There were some cosmetic things like aged deck boards and the palm in the driveway could be trimmed. The dishwasher was our biggest trouble with not draining all the water at the end of cycle. Communication with the host was great.We had a lovely time and would stay there again.

Great Family Getaway!

Wonderful property for a family vacation. 2 families of 4 and grandma all fit comfortably in this well appointed house. LOVED that all the beach items and water toys were available and didn’t have to pack beach chairs/toys/etc. The kids (and parents too) had a blast swimming in the canal and fishing and kayaking right at the house.There was a minor issue with the dishwasher not draining. As far as the listing, the fishing kayaks had some damage so we weren’t able to use them and the bottom area by the canal is no longer fenced and gated as shown in the photos.Communication with the owner was great, she was extremely kind and quick to respond. We’d happily stay here again for our annual family beach vacay.

Flamingling at 51!

I can't say enough great things about this property! I stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my 51st birthday with the best of friends. It was absolutely perfect! The house is immaculate & has everything you could possibly need. The communication with the owner was great & we had zero issues or complaints. There were 5 ladies & we had plenty of room. The bedrooms are very roomy & comfortable & closets are great. The kitchen has plenty of room for multiple people to be cooking & preparing & it is fully stocked with all the things. We were so sad to leave! I look forward to returning with my family in the near future. Thank you so much for a "flamazing" weekend.
