JAMAICA BEACH Jamaica Beach Texas is one of the most popular beaches and sought-after neighborhoods when it comes to vacation rentals – what it lacks in size, it makes up for action during the summer months, holidays and event weekends! Jamaica Beach is far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle of Seawall (8 miles), and but not too far away from most of the island attractions (10 miles from 61st Street). Jamaica Beach also has it’s own community pool and private marina and boat ramp, Regatta Basin, a community pavilion and playground. GULF COAST CONCIERGE Ryson partners exclusively with Gulf Coast Concierge to make your time on the island unforgettable! Gulf Coast Concierge understands it's the little things that count. Create your own adventures with beach gear and golf cart rentals, a sunset cruise or a bonfire and smores on the beach. Gulf Coast Concierge also offers fishing charters, photo sessions, and a variety of in-home services. If you can dream it, we will do our best to make it happen! NOTES All Ryson properties are non-smoking. This home is pet-friendly. All pets must be registered.

home is in need of a good cleaning.... toilet in hallway ran the whole time we were there
outdoor furniture filthy, carpet had stains
doors and knobs and cabinets filthy made us afraid to touch anything no cleaning supplies available to clean and no hot water to wash dishes or baith. 3 men showed up to do some maintenance while we stayed 3 different times

We really enjoyed the property. The house was big enough for our family of 10. The canal location was perfect for fishing, crabbing, canoeing in the water. Only a short drive to the beach. The neighborhood was having water issues and a few times we had very little water pressure or no water at all. That was very inconvenient. The kitchen was very unorganized. Plates, cups, dishes randomly placed wherever. This made it difficult to find what you needed. They only provided one hand towel for the kitchen, so we bought our own. The kids lower level and not connected to the upper level with an interior staircase. This wasn’t an issue for our kids, but it would be a problem with younger kids. Over all, a great house, great location and we would definitely stay there again.

Family Summer 2022
Overall the stay was very nice and we would probably stay again. The pictures are a little deceiving as they make the place look larger that it really is. The location was very good too. We really like the community pool. I was a little surprised at the condition of the bbq grill. We wouldn't even try to light it. The burners were all rusted through. Good thing we brought our charcoal grill. There had been some repairs to the upper deck which was good but there were all sorts of loose nails all over the place and some stuck in between the decking. Really bad with small children playing. The refrigerator is really nice but needs some adjustments. It froze some of our drinks and the freezer did not freeze or keep frozen some of our items. Some of the fan remotes did not work and we had to go buy batteries. Some of the TV remotes needed batteries too. We were very good about picking up our dogs poop but whoever was there before us left plenty in the yard. Also, some of the railing needs to be looked at. There are several slats that are loose both upstairs and downstairs. We had to use pliers to turn on the outside shower because there is not a knob. I almost feel that the owners don't visit much and rely on the management company to keep up with repairs and such and a lot is overlooked so they can just keep it rented.

Great for large family groups
We spent 3 nights at this property. We had a total of 12 people in our group and felt that we had plenty of room. The kids loved fishing off the dock and actually caught quite a few fishes (that we released back to the water). We brought an inflatable kayak and they paddled around the canal. The house was well equipped. We bought boogie boards and sand toys, just to find they had some at the house in the large box downstairs.
It was one of the most relaxing trips we've taken. Sitting on the decks with the gulf breezes is just what we needed. The canal was very peaceful. The location is great, in a quiet neighborhood, on the canal for calm water and a quick drive through the community to get to the beach.
FYI..The bunk room and the room with two twin beds are located downstairs with no inside access to the upstairs, which was fine for us because we had some older kids, but if you have a lot of littles you might not want to be separated that way. It does have it's own bathroom with shower downstairs for those rooms, so it worked well for us. Also bring some extra toilet paper, we were starting to run out the last day..
We would definitely stay again.

Enjoyed being on water with the canal access. Bought inflateable boat for fun and fishing with grandkids and family. Night fishing with underwater lights was a first. Beach 5 min away. Overall enjoyable.
AC issue downstairs ...blowing hot air in bunk room. Ryason responded quickly with new cooling unit but since all windows do not open there was no where to run the exhaust hot air out except into the bathroom...not practicle or conveinent. Need hole thru wall made to run exhaust outside.
Listing shows frig downstairs but it was not there and we had plans to use it. Disappointing.
Since downstairs bunk room is isolated from upstairs with no interior access, adults are needed to stay in other downstairs bedroom to monitor kids at night. But that bedroom has 2 single beds where a queen would be more practicle and much more comfortable for monitoring adults.
Storage cabinets in that bedroom above bed not that usefull and make room feel tight, smaller and more jammed up. Maybe remove.
Overall, still a good time for the family getaway.

This house is lovely and family friendly. We’d love to stay there again.
Would have appreciated better kitchen tools like better pans, can openers that worked, basic bar tools, and not the bare minimum.
No bath mats, and other small things were annoying.
The goods outweigh the annoying though and we think a small family or a medium sized close group would find this place relaxing and fun! The air conditioning works and there are ceiling fans, also the master bed is very comfortable. We slept well and that is saying a lot for us. Never could figure out why it was so bright in the bedrooms at night but again it was comfy and cozy!!!!!

Feedback
The inside of the house was adorable and very clean (with the exception of the white dog hairs on the dark floor) but outside seemed to need a power washing. The check-in process seems outdated compared to other rental companies that I've used given that you actually have to go into the office to retrieve the keys and a 10 am checkout seems rather early. Overall, though, it was a nice house, management staff was helpful and friendly and so it was a good experience. Thanks.

Loved it!
This property was awesome. Quiet, relaxing, and plenty of room. The deck wrapped around the house and we enjoyed sitting out there each morning and evening. We enjoyed kayaking and catching some crabs off the deck. We rented a golf cart and took it down to the beach each day. The home was in a great location for this. Family of 7 and everyone had plenty of room. Very enjoyable stay.

Family vacation
This house is is a great location. It was clean and being on the canal was awesome. Kids could fish, swim and kayak. The bunk beds and two twins are downstairs with no inside access to upstairs which was a negative and there was a problem getting the upstairs door unlocked. It did take several calls and down time trying to get someone to help. But otherwise it was a relaxing vacation.
