Home away from home

This property was absolutely adorable and in the perfect location. It has everything you need for the beach and to keep the kiddos entertained, so no need to pack a bunch of extra stuff. It's a very peaceful neighborhood and clean. The house is equipped with everything you need to cook meals and is very spacious. My only complaint is the shower in the master bath has zero pressure, so we had to use the other shower. Everything else was perfect.

Staying at "A Wave Away" was a fantastic experience. Our kids declared that if we go back to Galveston this is the only place to stay ( we have gone three times in the last 8 years). We even had inclement weather and our host made sure that we were where is safe while we were out on the Seawall. We'll definitely use this location again when we go back.

Galveston Vacation

We enjoyed our stay very much. House was wonderful. loved decor & all the extra little touches. The only thing is...didn't realize we had to pay to use the community pool. Wish we'd know ahead of time.

Everything I expected for a relaxing visit!

This was my 1st time ever booking a trip! I was really hesitant at 1st but the host answered all my questions and she was fabulous! The place was so cute! Next time we book here, we are planning to bring our golf cart. My sister in law booked on the beach however, I actually thought this place was much nicer!

A Wave Away Worth The Stay

We came to Jamaica Beach to get away for a while and not be so close to Galveston. A Wave Away provided everything we needed from beach towels, wagons, outdoor games, chairs, and even a cool canopy! The host thought of every nuance to make the stay enjoyable… so enjoyable we decided to stay an extra day! The host accommodated us and was great with communication. Thank you, and we will be back!

Totally Amazing

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The owners put a lot of thought into this home making it a home away from home. The house has just about anything you could think of. Everything was of great quality regardless of it being a rental. This house is very well decorated and cozy. The property is in walking distance of the beach. And last but not least, Trish was very communicative with details of the upcoming trip. We were all in awe and will definitely be back. Thank you Trish for a delightful mini vacation!

Beach time

We stay at “A wave away” house two years in a row and it has been awesome both time. The host is great and the house has everything you need for a day on the beach. The beds are very comfortable and we had 9 people and we never ran out of hot water for showers. The house is located close enough to the beach it’s an easy walk to the surf!! My grandbabies loving staying there, before we leave they have to tell the house bye bye we see you next summer. lol.

Perfect beach house and location!

A Wave Away is the perfect little beach house and is just a few minutes walk to the beach. It is exactly as stated in the description and has everything you could ask for. The beach accessories were put to good use as were the board games. Tisha was a pleasure to work with and was quick to respond to any questions we had about the house or the area. We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return next year!

Beach time

The home was wonderful, my family loved the home. My grandkids love the beach!!!! The short walk to the beach was good. You are just close enough to the beach but far enough away there isn’t a beach crowd around you. The home was great, nice, and clean and the ac worked great!!! The showers were awesome and plenty of room to relax. We will stay there again.
