About this house rental
Gulf-view townhome on Galveston's quiet West End, two levels, three full bathrooms, and less than 75 yards to one of the most uncrowded stretches of beach on the island. Guests consistently call it a true 2-minute walk. We call it the whole point.
THE BEACH
Karankawa Beach is pedestrian-only, no cars, no golf carts. Wide, clean, calm. Your kids can walk it safely. Your morning coffee can happen on the deck while you watch the water. The beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, boogie board, and sand toys are all here waiting.
THE HOT TUB
Private, tucked on the lower deck, Gulf views. Guests say sitting in it under the stars is the highlight of the trip. It's the most-mentioned amenity, and the reason several guests have come back more than once.
THE SPACE
King primary suite with Gulf views, premium linens, blackout curtains, and a dedicated coffee station, because you shouldn't have to be functional before your first cup. Three full bathrooms across two levels means no morning standoffs. In-unit washer and dryer handles the sandy aftermath.
The kitchen is well-equipped for real cooking. Bring your favorite groceries and you'll have what you need. Drip coffee, pod coffee, blender for frozen drinks.
Full-size arcade machine with 400+ games upstairs. Rainy day, late night, or a dad pretending it's for the kids, it handles all three.
THE LOGISTICS
Two dedicated parking spots out front. High-speed Wi-Fi. Dedicated workspace. Baby gate, travel crib, and blackout curtains if you're traveling with little ones.
This is the quiet side of Galveston. Not the Seawall. Not the crowds. Jamaica Beach is residential, friendly, and genuinely calm, close enough to downtown for a day trip, far enough that none of that noise follows you home.

This was our first time in Galveston, and we were looking for a place to relax that was easily accessible to the beach. When closer to the seawall, the majority of the properties require you to cross an extremely busy street. This location does not require that, and has a very short walk to a fairly secluded beach. We rarely saw more than 3-4 other groups on the beach each time we went out, and a few times we were the only ones there. The listing photos accurately depict the home and its location, and we enjoyed our stay there. We did have some minor issues with the thermostat on our first day, but the owners were highly responsive and addressed it immediately. We enjoyed being in a quieter section of the island, but with a short drive being able to enjoy the restaurants and shops along the Seawall when we wanted. The provided beach wagon, towels, and chairs proved very useful, and parking was close and convenient. We would highly recommend this location for your visit to Galveston!

This is by far the best location for a vacation in galveston. The host ensured the home was comfortable and prepared for our stay. From the breathtaking views to the comfortable beds and not to mention luxurious hot tub. It was definitely a trip our family will remember. Definitely will stay here again!

We love staying here. The place is renovated and feels quite nice. The condo has everything you might need. The hot tub is a nice touch. Only one block off the beach.

My husband and I had our honeymoon here! We loved the place, it was cozy and private, it was equipped with everything we would need, we loved the hot tub and just hanging out on the decks. I got lots of sun on the lounge chair outside, and I could hear and see the ocean. Super quick walk to the beach. My husband loved the arcade game upstairs. The washer and dryer was great to have too. Check in and check out were super easy. We went twice to Coopers Landing and had lunch at the Watermans Marina. The guidebook from our hosts was super helpful and informative. I noticed the house was well equipped for children as well and we might have to come back when we have kids! Thank you for welcoming us to your little spot of paradise!
