The location was excellent. The views were great. The neighborhood was quiet. The house is needing some minor repairs. It did have air conditioning, but the window units struggled to keep up with the heat and humidity of the day. Overall for a short stay, it was good. If we would have stayed longer, it wouldn't have been adequate.

Perfect beach cottage!

This was absolutely the perfect little beach house! Right on the beach, very cute interior, porch was half covered so you could sit out in the middle of the day, outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off before going inside….Owner was fabulous in helping w/ a missed cleaning before we checked in. Cannot wait to stay here again when we want a quiet, peaceful stay at the beach!

Great location and views but...

Truly love the location of this house. Unbeatable. Beautiful. Good distance from Galveston and on a nice beach that is basically private. The listing says washer and dryer as amenities but apparently they don't work? But was also told by the property manager that they aren't in the listing when they are mentioned several times and then he stopped responding to me. People came on the property and left stuff in the storage area downstairs which just feels like a safety issue. Heads up would be nice that someone would be on the property that's not us. The ac units went out on the last night, emailed host, no response. They came back on in the middle of the night. Backyard does have biting red ants so be aware of that as well. Could use a coat of paint on the on inside and some upgrades but otherwise it's a great, convenient little place to stay. I would stay here again for the location alone.

Great Little Beachfront Property Exactly As Described

Nice little beach house good for a small family. Reminds me of the lake cabin my aunt and uncle had years ago. Not as large as the neighboring properties but it's facing the same ocean. Very pleasant overall.

Very nice and clean house. Easy access to the beach. Love the view from the covered deck. Wish the grill would have been there and the washer and dryer would help with wet clothes but overall it was well worth the price and will rent again.

On the Beach

Nice little beach house for a couple or small family wanting easy access to the beach. The covered deck is amazing with a great view! Accommodations are older and very basic, for example there is no dishwasher, but we enjoyed our time there. One caveat, the bathtub and bathroom floor are extremely slippery when wet!

Jamaca Beach house

Great little place. It only has window units for AC which was our only tiny conplaint. Once we got the house cooled off it was great. We also used a cover to keep the luggt out in the morning so we could sleep a little longer. It was away from the hustle and bustle of Galveston, but close enough to drive in for lunch and dinner.

Great location, quaint house

House is cute. The location is great. The host was super easy to reach and communication was great. There was an odor that would come and go, I am not sure if it was the house itself, or if it was from the plumbers that were working on something 2 doors down, but the host had maintenance out first thing the next morning to check it out (keep in mind, i was texting the host at 11pm, so the next morning was 100% above and beyond). I am sure the host would fix anything they could if there is a problem. There was a pretty severe storm with high winds and this little house is super sturdy considering it is on stilts and right on the ocean. To the host, i would say thankyou for a lovely stay.

Horrible experience

When I arrived at the property, I tried to access the property via the touch keypad on the entry door and it did not work. I also tried the lockbox downstairs and it did not work / open either. I called the guest contact regarding the issue. I was told that I should try to pry open the lockbox. I responded that I could not do that. Then the local contact said that somebody would come by to fix the issue. I clearly explained that I could not wait with my family and kids stuck there and did not feel safe doing so. I asked him to cancel the reservation and provide me refund but he kept saying that sending somebody over was the best he could do. I never saw the local contact or anybody on the property during my stay. I had my family and kids with me and left the property for safety issue without being able to access. It was getting dark outside and it did not feel safe to stay there at all. Also we were stuck without any access to amenities like restrooms etc. This has been a horrible experience for me and my family. We have never experienced such unprofessional arrangement and behavior for VRBO properties. The property should have been readily accessible. This incident caused huge inconvenience causing a lot of mental stress during the entire experience. I would strongly discourage going with this property and expect that I get my full refund immediately.

Mold, Musty, Dirty, Dilapidated, Left Early

What a beautiful spot and what a horrible house! So horrible that we could not stay our entire time and had to leave early. The biggest issue is the black mold that is visible and the musty smell hits you when you walk in. When we got home all of our clothes had to be washed, even the ones we didn’t wear, because they smelled musty. There is visible mold on the curtain and windows. I am sure behind the paneling it is riddled with mold. Other issues: it’s just run down and the online pictures must be really old because it’s not that nice. The patio furniture is different and not nice like the pictures. The place is leaning and one bedroom door doesn’t stay shut, and it doesn’t have a doorknob. The top of the refrigerator is up against the wall but the bottom has a 5 inch gap. The bathroom doors are ridiculous. Dirty and grimy yes, but no knobs and just 99 cent hooks to keep shut. Instead of properly fixing the central AC the owners went on the cheap and put window AC units. They are noisy and near the beds and couch and thus impossible to open windows to air the place out. There is so much condensation between the living room window panels of glass it literally beads all day and it is difficult to see out that window. You know that adds to all the mold. Other lame issues, living room tv didn’t work kitchen utensils were dirty. Dried food crusty kind of dirty. So much for the cleaning fee. Lamps busted, paint all messed up and dirty. Don’t stay here!
