This is a great house for a family trip. There is a ton of space and you can't beat the views. We came during a windy, cold weekend so we couldn't try out the kayaks and water sports, but there were a lot of options. The deck has great views of the bay and the fishing was great off the dock. We will definitely come back during the summer.
This trip was different in that there was a tropical storm and the streets were a bit flooded. We planned correctly with groceries and had a nice time fishing and watching the the bay from the porch.
We loved the fishing and kayaking! The enclosed upper deck was great for our little ones. The green light was a great way to observe the sea life. The community pool and playground were really nice. The beach is so close too! Highly recommend!!
We had a great time. The house was in a good location, clean and well stocked with everything..... even fish fry! Everyone enjoyed fishing, which was good, and kayaking. We would definitely go back again. Fyi, mosquitoes were rampant so bring bug spary.
This house was fantastic and location was perfect. The home was set up very well with tons of amenities for the family. The host was great and communicated clearly when we had any questions. Would recommend this home to anyone wanting to have a great time on the water.
Overall the house was great. It’s hard to find more than 3 bedrooms and more than 3 bathrooms and this one had 4 nice sized rooms Everything inside was nicely updated and clean. Plenty of outdoors space and seating.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The house was as advertised. It was roomy, comfortable and had plenty of space. The outdoor space was particularly nice.
Very nice property with all your wishful beach/bay amenities! Great communication with Property Manager and Owners! Our family will be back! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!
There was something for everyone at the house. Very tastefully done. Great layout. Comfortable furnishings. Restaurants were close by as were the many beaches. Loved the neighborhood!
Had an amazing time at this house. Everything was as expected and the location could not be better. Tons of outdoor deck space and everyone loved the open lawn next to the house. The location was perfect for families that want to fish or kayak into the bay. Todd was an amazing host and super responsive to messages in a timely manner. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this house. We will most definitely be back.
Our family loves this house! This is our third trip here and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else! The owner is great and very accommodating! Absolutely amazing location, great fishing and lots of outdoor space to enjoy the view! See you next year!! Thanks so much!
We had a wonderful stay in Jamaica beach. The house was very clean. Everything was very well stocked. The kitchen had nice dish ware which isn’t always a thing in a rental.
The property manager was quick to respond on any questions. The location was also very nice. The view is great and the lagoon area is nice for calmer waters for kayaking/paddle boards. The outdoor area is great - plenty of seating and space for everyone. We would stay here again.
My family thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at your house. Everything was just as described and better. We enjoyed fishing off the deck and using the crab traps. We all had comfortable beds and plenty of room to spread out. My parents had a wonderful 60th anniversary celebration. We will definitely stay there again! Thank you so much! We also enjoyed Shrimp NStuff food truck right down the road and had a nice dinner at West End Marina. Thanks again!
