Canal-View Home w\/ Shared Pool & Boat Slip, Fish From Deck - Dogs OK
About this cottage rental
Cottage on the Canal Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Relax canal-side and dock your boat at your very own boat slip behind the house. This dog-friendly vacation home in Jamaica Beach has all the ingredients for the perfect water-based trip, including views of the bay. Located right on a canal that empties onto West Bay, this house has a boat slip for your vessel. Beach access is just a quarter mile away, a public boat launch is less than a mile up the road, and downtown Galveston is a 16-mile drive to the northeast. The interior of the elevated house is warm and inviting, with sloped wooden ceilings and huge windows. Curl up on the couch and put in a rented DVD, or flip through cable until you find something interesting. If you're planning to go out on the water, log onto the free WiFi and check the weather report before you head out. Take the time to prepare an elaborate Sunday brunch in the fully equipped kitchen, which has ample counter space and stools where people can perch and chat with the cooks. A blender and mixer speed up food prep, and the coffeemaker makes sure that you're adequately caffeinated while you work. When you're done, bring your meal outside to eat on the shaded porch overlooking the canal. On a warm afternoon, fire up the gas barbecue on the lower deck and grill some burgers. This home offers a queen and double bed, as well as a bunk bed in the newly converted garage bedroom, making this home great for couples traveling together. Six people will sleep comfortably here, and for a small nightly fee two dogs of up to 25 pounds are welcome to come along. In the garage space, a private washer and dryer keeps up the supply of fresh linens if you're staying for a while and there's also a full bath with a tub (no shower) and a bunk bed. There's also an outdoor shower available. Learn about aviation at the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston, or about locomotion at the Galveston Island Railroad Museum, which has some of the largest restored exhibits in the US. Be sure to stop at the Pleasure Pier for carnival games, or check out The Strand Historic District's shops and restaurants. Visit Moody Gardens, a nearby amusement park with educational exhibits and varied attractions, to see an IMAX movie or watch the fish in the aquarium. For an authentic ride, take an hour-long cruise on the replica Colonel Paddlewheel Boat. There's even a golf course where you can book tee times!

Nice place to relax. Have 3 girls and they enjoyed the location. They were able to play outside safely while Mom and Dad relaxed on the deck.

Check in did not go well at all. The down stairs room code to get in was wrong and there was no water at all. We called customer support (Vacasa) and got a lady on the other side of the word. I was on the phone for an hour and she tried to get ahold of the local property manager and could not. We were told that we would have to wait till morning to get it resolved. So four adult have to stay there with a full toilet (that is how we found out there was no water) and only two beds. I explained to her that we would be gone the next day (offshore) and we needed it fixed. Got back the next day from our trip and it was not fixed. The local manager was there and we had to explain it to her. She got us in the room and was able to get us to a place that we could shower (four sweaty fish smelling guys). We got water at 11 pm that night. The down stairs room is not as the pictures shown. Around the corner form the bed is washer against a wall with no sheet rock or paneling on it and you can see out side. There is no door on the bath room down stairs. VRBO rents from Vacasa who rents form local property managers. the said that they will be refunding SOME of it. Just over 1/3 of the cost even thought 2 of the 3 days we did not have water.

Overall it was perfect for my family of 4 + my brother and his son. We would rent again. My only complaint is the air quality. The a/c system, vents and fans all need to be cleaned quarterly at least. We spent the first day cleaning all the fans due to the dust built up.

The property was very cute. Just a little smaller than I thought it would be. It had an old smell in the cottage, but I bring candles anyways so it was fine. Quiet and cozy.

We enjoyed our stay even though the batteries in the thermostat were on low and quickly died. No replacements in the cottage. However the weather was such that we didn't need the AC or heat. We had a really good time.

Overall experience was a win! Loved the location. The house smelled musty it needs more air flow. Neighbors were a little noisy. Cons the cleaning crew showed up while we were packing up and made us feel uncomfortable and we felt rushed Big thumbs down! Bottom line it was fun. Thumbs up to the upper deck it was relaxing.

Everything was good until the patio caught on fire in the middle of the night. We feared for our lives because we could not get out the front door! We had to climb out the window because the heat caused the front door frame to swell.. When the fire department came, it took 2 firemen about 200+ lbs to break down the door so we could our clothes and valubles.

Upon arrival we realized (as previous reviews stated) this is a 2 bedroom with bad foundation issues. We barely could make sleeping arrangements work with 2 adults and 3 kids. The main bathroom sink was clogged up within an hour of being at the property. Maintenance shows up with a screwdriver the next day. 🤷♀️ The fans in the bedrooms are so old the pull string came off in my hand while putting my daughter down. The linens were extremely wrinkled and stiff. The kitchen is SPARSELY equipped and what's there is old and gross. Not one clean coffee cup. Not really sure why we are charged such an outrageous cleaning fee! The outdoor shower does not work and is not private so it's nearly impossible to wash off the sand from a day at the beach! IMO, wayyyy overpriced and not as advertised.

We loved the canal view, loved the kayak available for use. But this place needs a lot of work, the counter was very sticky I had to scrub it and it was still sticky so my guess is it needs to be re-varnished. The deck was soft and nails sticking up,

We enjoyed our stay. It just needs a few updates. A new shower head would be nice. And the boat lift needs fixed. A pan or something under the downstairs AC unit so that the patio wouldn’t have green slippery slim would be a great help.
All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Great little spot. Nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors that’s just across the main road from the beach. The canal is nice for the option of fishing in the evenings. Perfect spot if you’re looking for budget friendly place just a stones throw from the beach.

We stayed here to be close to friends staying two houses down. We found the house to be better than expected. Nicely decorated and comfortable. The house certainly had more room than we expected and was well stocked with towels, blankets, and kitchen accouterments. Too many amenities to list here. We had a wonderful stay.

The pictures of this cottage does not do it justice. This home is beautiful. The area is quite and peaceful. This is the ideal space for boaters. The boat ramp is one block away and you have the convenience to lift your boat out of the salt water while it is docked at the home. Boaters will adore this spot. We loved it and will be back!!!!!

Enjoyed our time at the cottage. It was cozy for two adults and 2 kids but suited our needs quite well. Was pretty disappointed key to kayaks was broken and not replaced. Attempted to call vacasa but never heard back from them. Kids were really looking forward to this feature and was a big contributor in our decision to rent this property vs others. Great view of the canals. Very relaxing with Close beach access and about a20 minute drive to Galveston. House was well maintained

Master bed is horrible. Staircase leading upstairs is SO wobbly and scary to walk on. Shower is horrible if you are bigger than a 8 year old. Washer broken. Third bedroom listed on the listing was falsely advertised to be a part of the house. It smelled SO bad for the first few days. Whoever stayed previous had cooked and stored fish and the entire house and oven reeked. Cleaning crew could have done WAY better. Sandy floors and beds and the stinky fish smell was VERY disappointing to walk into after spending so much money. The pictures and description are false advertisement. Luckily my brother has these cases all the time and it will be simple for us to file a complaint with the BBB and State. Time consuming but so worth it if it helps them improve their crap property.

The place is clean but we rented the canal house for fishing and it’s not a good fishing spot. The place is a great place to just hangout if that’s what you’re there for.

An Amazing Place!
Stayed here for my birthday and had an amazing time. House was perfect and close to some pocket entrances to beaches that were practically private. Canal was also fun. My husband went kayaking and fishing. We will definitely stay again!!

Cottage on Canal
While we had a great time on our visit to Galveston our cottage rental had some issues. The house overall was very clean and we pretty much had everything we needed, however there were some issues that other renters may want to be aware of. First, the 2 beds were not good at all. The front bed by the balcony was horrible (I had to sleep on the couch) and the second bed was not good either. The house needs some structural maintenance and some foundation work. The lower bedroom has a window AC unit that has water running out on the concrete creating an algae slick that is extremely slippery. The shower up stairs is extremely small with horrible water pressure. There was only one roll of toilet paper upstairs and one roll down stairs, so we had to go and buy extra toilet paper. The house served our needs overall but would probably not rent this unit again.

Very Loud
We booked this place not knowing that the neighbors house would be having a crew of workers there the whole time with a jack hammer all day running. It was very loud for 2 days, then just regular hammers the rest of the time. We didn't get to sleep in any days. The yard was not cut so the mosquitoes were out of the world bad.
