The property was conveniently located in the Jamaica beach community with quick access to the community pool, boat ramp and beach across the street. Great places for blended families with slots of sleeping arrangements. Everyone had a great time!

The location is great. The bedding had not been washed, windows are filthy, large roaches in the home especially in the kitchen, the kitchen floor had not been mopped, wall panels are bulging, outside bathroom had not been cleaned in a long time. Dryer did not dry clothes. This property needs a little more TLC and cleanliness. I have stayed in quite a few Jamaica Beach homes and this home was by far the worse I have seen.

We had such great time. The house was very spacious and enough beds for everyone. The homeowner was very nice. She made for sure everything was perfect for our stay. The neighborhood is a quiet and was like gone away from home. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Thank you!

This was a large house with places for everyone! The house had all the necessities and was close to beach access. The owner was very helpful and responsive when we ran into a few snags during our stay. She over-compensated for issues very quickly! The 4th bedroom access through the 3rd bedroom was a little surprise upon arrival, but it all worked out ok. I would recommend this house for anyone’s vacation needs to Galveston/Jamaica Beach!

The house was adequate but not very roomy for the 10 it reports to host. Rooms were cramped. Kitchen cabinets were in disarray, not well stocked for cooking for a large group. The floor of the house was dirty upon arrival. Dog food and a water bowl were left from previous person. There were large empty water bottles left next to a water dispenser but not usable. The countertop ice maker also did not work. The chairs in the storage were usable but the boogie boards were broken. Thought it was on the water since it documents a water slip for boat, no water can be seen from this location.

The Great Room had plenty of space ... Kitchen adequate but cabinets in disarray unorganized. The screened porch was great to enjoy the Gulf Breezes and was pet friendly along with fenced dog area. New Outside shower worked well for sandy beach goers. I knew it was an older property but Sadly I had to clean on arrival to feel comfortable. I am not a germaphobe ... But I do like clean. I sprayed all bathrooms down with foaming disinfectant cleaner. I had to clean dirty surfaces and tables outside before use. I was disappointed and it made me wonder how well the house was cleaned. I would reccomend at least a deep cleaning at start of the season. Including powerwash of the house and porch. The sills were dirty ... Not just lite dust. Outside side tables too not even wiped. And the George Foreman Grill ... Nasty very disgusting. I had to just tell myself NOT to get a bucket & rags to clean and look past the dirt. I was there to enjoy time in Galveston ... Not to deep clean the property. Once past that it was time with friends and family that was enjoyed. The imperfections made it easier to relax and not worry with kids and pets running around having a good time . it was enjoyed overall. I know Melissa is making improvements ... A good scrubbing would be worth the investment. Thank you.

Not as listed! Not close to the beach. The house is located at the last/furthest street in neighborhood. More than 15 minutes to walk to the beach. Too many mosquitoes. When we arrived, lot of trash was there in front of the house. We checked out on Tuesday, it all was still there even though manager told us that trash is always scheduled to be picked up on Monday morning. Terrible!

There are a lot of rules, but it's worth it and they totally make sense. The house was amazing and the location was perfect for our 4th of July stay. We stayed a handful of days and there wee about 12 of us. We all had a blast.
The house has everything you need to have a great time!

We had an overall great experience. The house is close to the beach but not quit the 2 blocks away as listed. The house was clean and stocked. The only drawn back was the smell of smoke on our intial entry, one of the rooms beds was wabbly, and one of the room had to walkthrough another room to gain access. Other than that we liked the house and the area.

We enjoyed time with children and grandchildren. The small gated fenced in area was great for both dogs and toddlers. Very secure. We also enjoyed the porch. Neighborhood was quiet, even with spring break! House is 0.7 miles from the beaches, but that was ok — we could walk or drive there easily when we wanted. But we mainly enjoyed the house and getting back together at the end (hopefully) of the pandemic! Plenty of room in the house for our party of nine.

Family Getaway
We had a great time at this casual beach property. It was nice having 4 separate bedrooms. Some properties have the same number of beds but no privacy. We liked being able to be at the beach in 3 minutes by car or golfcart. We also brought down our boat and the manager was super, super helpful with getting us boat ramp access. The kitchen was very well stocked. The WiFi worked very well. We were there at a busy time, but we would get to the beach early, set up our canopy and chairs and back our car right up to our spot. You can't do that all beaches. A lot of small grocery stores etc around. Everything is convenient. Would stay here again.

Quarantine Getaway
The house has plenty of room for lots of guests. The living room has an awesome couch perfect for everybody to hang out on. The dog run was perfect for our dogs. The AC was very cold.
However, the pictures do not really show the work that needs to be done on the property. There is a picture describing the "new" changing room downstairs. The pictures must be old because the white shutter doors have broken and missing slats. The sink inside was gross and we reported it to the owner. She said they would mention it to the cleaning service. I also took pictures of the downstairs shower and toilet that is billed as the third full bathroom. They were also gross and no one in my family would go in there to use them but preferred to hose off in the backyard. I told the owner and was told that it was just a place to rinse off, so they didn't see a problem with it. The wood paneling in many of the rooms is bowing out from the walls. The bathroom door to our bathroom was dingy and cracked at the bottom. In the bathroom I used with my children the fixtures were rusted as well as in the shower. While my oldest was taking a shower, a roach crawled out of the fixture and onto her leg. I reported it to the owner and she said bugs happen and that since I'm from Houston I should know that about roaches. The toilet in the main shower wasn't working and I texted the owner about it. My dad was able to make it work for our weekend there. The ice maker in the refrigerator doesn't work, so you find out in the check in paperwork that you have to bring your own ice. The fridge also is missing all but two of the shelves on the door, and one of them is cracked and broken. The pantry is an old wooden cupboard that I wouldn't put food in. In it I found some rusted metal utensils. Every room has a fan, but when we turned them on almost every one of them were loud and creaky and had to be adjusted or turned off. The washing machine was barely usable due to the buttons in the panel having fallen out of the panel. The refrigerator downstairs in the laundry room is rimmed in mold and mildew. I would not use it.
And in the check in paperwork you will notice that you are told multiple times in bold print that if ANY sand is found anywhere in the house that you will lose part of your deposit. The owner even included this message in her reply when I texted her about the roach. I do not understand this. Isn't that why we pay a cleaning fee?
