About this property

RightOnTheBeachVR: FRONT ROW Jamaica Beach 5BR 3bath, Stunning Views, Huge Decks

Gorgeous, Front Row, vacation rental is truly RIGHT ON THE BEACH, thus the name: "RightOnTheBeachVR." The backyard of this beach house is literally the beach!

Best Location in Galveston: family-friendly Jamaica Beach. The beach is literally just steps from the rear of this amazing home! Sit on one of the huge decks and watch the kids play on the beach.

Remodeled in 2024.

City of Jamaica Beach STR Reg. No: 25-0000233.

This large, 2,100 sf home is unique because it’s all on 1 level. And it’s located on a large lot (1/3rd acre), so there is lots of room for the kids to play outside while you enjoy privacy, space, & unobstructed Gulf of America views.

The massive decks, which extend all around this house, are huge: over 1,300 sf of total deck area (with plenty of shaded areas) - so all can enjoy. The main level, rear deck is very spacious: over 50 ft long & 12 ft deep. That’s 600 sq ft! And there’s plenty of shade. Also it couldn’t be any closer to the soothing Gulf waters. Plus there's a large upper "Captain's Deck" above the home with incredible, unobstructed ocean views.

Sleeps 14 (3 kings, 2 Fulls & 6 Twin beds). There are 5 bedrooms & 2.5 bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are very large.

All beds are have newer, high quality mattresses.

This home is located in beautiful and family-friendly Jamaica Beach. You can't beat the location - just 10 mins from Galveston attractions, but in quiet, fun, safe, Jamaica Beach. Plus, this beach house sits on one of the rare, premier lots in all of JamaicaBeach.

Open floor plan with updated furnishings everywhere.

The home’s interior has been fully remodeled. The decks & ungraded hurricane windows were upgraded as well.

Full washer & dryer in the laundry room.

New tankless hot water system.

There are 2 separate Air Conditioning systems. One new as of April 2025 and the other Jan 2023.

Downstairs, additional outdoor hot & cold shower and stall for rinsing after returning from the beach.

Perfect for multiple families.

Well-equipped kitchen.

We supply beach towels as well as towels for showering. And we typically have a couple of Boogy-Boards and 4 beach chairs available. Plastic toys for the little ones are almost always available.

There's a BBQ grill for outdoor grilling (bring your own charcoal). Please discard your unused charcoals in the trash once they cool so that the grill is ready for the next guests. And pls don't throw your used charcoals in the yard (yup, more than 1 guest has done that).

Also, you do not need a golf cart as you are literally only about 20 steps to the beach.

In addition, Jamaica Beach Police frequently patrol the beach, so the beach area is always family-friendly and fun.

The owners have made numerous improvements, including premium vinyl plank flooring; new decks and handrailings; new fascia and soffits; new hurricane windows; new tankless hot water system; new solid core, 5 panel doors; new paint in & out; new textured granite (with a gorgeous peninsula slab); new big screen HD TV (with premium cable/Netflix/Amazon/Xbox One S w/ plenty of games for the kids and teens); Televisions in all 5 bedrooms; imported teak dining table & teak chairs; new lighting; new linens and towels; all premium bedding; fully stocked kitchen; and more.

Peaceful and comfortable.

The listing said 4 bathrooms which was one of the major reasons we chose it. However, it has a full bath, a 3/4 bath, and a 1/2 bath, plus a beach shower downstairs; so not 4 baths. Happily, it turned out to be a non- issue for us. You cannot beat the location. Just steps away from the water!!! Unspoilt and not crowded. We were there 4/5-11, a TX spring with cool nights and 70 degree days. Spent most of our time outdoors on the spacious, sheltered deck, while watching the kids play in the sand and water. Just 10 miles to town and the big supermarket, but with a small grocery just 3 minutes away. TVs in every room practically, all flat screens with strong WiFi for streaming and devices. Spacious, well-appointed kitchen, well supplied with small appliances and dishes. We lacked for nothing there. We did use the washer/dryer but did not get a chance to try the BBQ. We much appreciated the hot water beach shower to take the sand and salt off, and so not trek any of that indoors. Ample supply of beach towels and bathroom ones, too. Comfy beds for restful nights. The kids loved their bunk beds and the separating pocket door for privacy — so important at their ages. The Nintendo was a source of delight for them. We toured a couple of the Galveston museums: the Oil Rig and Seawolf Park for the WWII submarine and ship. Then there was NASA just 35 minutes away. We did not get text replies from our host, but email gets a quick answer. We did not try calling. Book this one!!!

Wonderful stay!

We came for our first time to the Galveston area, and had no idea if this really was a great location, just booked it based off it being one level (after the stairs up) and the number of bedrooms we needed. This house exceeded our expectations, location was fantastic! It's closer to the beach than it even looks in the pictures. We were able to completely enjoy every minute of our time by the water!. Wonderful communication with the property owners, Seriously the best we've ever had, before and during our stay. Jamaica Beach is a lovely community with a grocery store close by which made everything convenient. Access just down the beach to be able to drive on the beach was also a plus to get my mother in law to hang out with us on the beach easily. I could go on, hope to come again!!

Family vacation

First time in Galveston with our family of 8. Was a 15-20 minute drive to attractions via seawall drive.Property was nice a little outdated from the pictures we viewed. It could have been cleaned better. However, it was large, and the owners were very easy to contact. We did have problem with the ac not working and the owners had it fixed asap on a Sunday!! Overall, was a nice property and enjoyed our stay.

Jamaica Beach was great

We had 7 adults and 2 children staying here for 4 days. The view out to the Gulf was incredible. The kitchen was large enough for several folks to work in at the same time. The beds were so comfortable that I wanted to replace my bed at home with the same mattress. The owner, Sabrina, was easy to contact and showed care for us as her guests by contacting us as tropical storm Alberto approached Mexico and storm surge hit the Texas coast. We would definitely rebook this property for another beach vacation.

Great family beach vacation

Decided to go a bit closer and less days with a new 6 month old baby. The house was perfect for our family. We didn’t feel like anything was missing. Right on the beach with a stairway leading to the beach. Didn’t communicate much with host because we didn’t need anything. Loved sitting on the deck to watch the sun rise and sun set. Cooked most meals because it’s hard to take tired out kiddos to restaurants! Wished we booked a few more days! Beds were comfy. Only recommendation is bring bug spray because underneath the house the mosquitos were hungry!

Wonderful House! Would recommend for families with older kids

Pretty much everything about this house was great! The owner communicated extremely well forgetting us information and even responded quickly for questions (although most questions could have been answered with the owners detailed documentation if we had read better). The house was clean and ready to go, and the walk to the beach was directly in front of the house. The house is pretty close to the drive on entrance for the beach, which I didn’t realize, so the beach was a bit More crowded, but not terrible. The house is in close proximity to plenty of little tiny stores and only about a 15 minute drive to larger grocery stores. My only real was a change in house set up from what we had initially booked. I spent hours and hours across multiple apps trying to find a house that was both one story and had NO Bunkbeds (which is hard to find) so I didn’t have to worry about following my three year-old around to keep him from getting hurt on things and this house was perfect when we booked it. The kids room had four twin beds and they were all flat to the ground. I was extremely, extremely, extremely disappointed to arrive at the house and find that the kids room had been converted and now held two sets of bunkbeds. It was a great house and we would definitely consider using it again when all of the kids were a little older and less rambunctious. We did feel a little rushed leaving because the cleaner showed up 40 minutes early

Right on the Beach was Right on the Money!

What an amazing getaway! We love this property for so MANY REASONS. Let’s start with the location, yes, IT’S RIGHT ON THE BEACH, and the view is like nothing you can imagine. The house is impeccable with all amenities in just the right place, I never had to guess where the silverware was, my hand went right to the drawer I would have chosen. The owners are not shy about checking on your comfort - their clients are their number one GOAL, and we felt privileged to have open communication. Right On The Beach, is on our calendar in perpetuity! Thank you for another great getaway!!!

Great little quiet place and beach!

Great stay. Fairly clean. Was missing a few things that we had to go buy: only had one dish towel, no dish rags only a sponge, only 1 extra garbage bag, no drying rack or mat for dishes. But the house was otherwise as listed. Wish we would have been warned about the mice/rats as not a big deal and I’m sure unavoidable but they got into all of our food. Plenty of towels and beach towels. Great view and access to the beach. Great layout for kids!

About the host

Hosted by Sabrina

Host profile image
My name is Sabrina. My husband Mike and I are parents, recent grandparents, and beach lovers.

I love visiting our beach house to relax, unwind, and have all of my worries washed away by the intoxicating sounds and aromas of the waves that are right off of our back deck.

I also enjoy decorating. And I wanted our beach house to be clean, bright, open, inviting, and family friendly.

Why they chose this property

We bought this beach house 5 yrs ago because we love being RightOnTheBeach! We fell in love with home's front row location as well as the open concept floor plan. And we think Jamaica Beach is the very best area in all of Galveston. It's close to downtown and yet is not overly crowded ... it's really the gem of Galveston. Most Galveston attractions are just 10 mins or so away.

We love walking right out the back and being on the beach in seconds. And we really enjoy talking long walks in the beach, barefoot, and walking in 6" or so of water for miles and miles. It's truly amazing

What makes this property unique

It's Right On The Water. The ocean is right in the backyard. Unobstructed Ocean/Gulf views are everywhere in this large open concept vacation rental called "RightOnTheBeachVR."

Plus this home is relatively large (about 2,100) and it's on ONE LEVEL. This means that you won't be climbing stairs continuously throughout your vacation (like you would in most other vacation rentals in Galveston).

There are some 14 steps to get up the main level. That's it ... there are no more stairs to climb (unless you're adventurous and want to go up to the "Captain's Deck," which is a secondary upper deck at the rear, or beach-side of the home). And there's plenty of shaded areas of the rear deck area.

Sitting on the massive decks and looking out at the unobstructed Gulf views is breath-taking! The sound of the waves is uniquely soothing and relaxing. Watching the kids and teens playing on the beach and in the water never gets old. Of course, we love going into the water and floating as the waves lift us up and over. On most days, you'll see lots of amazing pelicans.
