Disappointing

Had reserved for 12 people but only 10 showed up. House was accommodating. Had black mold and musty smelling. Only one shower worked for 10 people. Grill was filthy, did not get to use. House needs major cleaning and repairs.

Amazing

We took a 4th of July weekend trip to Galveston and loved our time at this home in Jamaica Beach. It is literally minutes from the beach and close to stores and local restaurants. Galveston is a short trip away if you need to make a grocery store run or explore the town. The home itself is nicely laid out and very accommodating with ample parking, multiple bathrooms, screened patio, bunk bed room for children, ceiling fans, Smart TVs, and much more. The host was excellent with communication before, during and after the stay to help ensure we had a good experience. Thank you!

Great location but roaches and dirty

The location is great. The bedding had not been washed, windows are filthy, large roaches in the home especially in the kitchen, the kitchen floor had not been mopped, wall panels are bulging, outside bathroom had not been cleaned in a long time. Dryer did not dry clothes. This property needs a little more TLC and cleanliness. I have stayed in quite a few Jamaica Beach homes and this home was by far the worse I have seen.

Great beach getaway

This was a large house with places for everyone! The house had all the necessities and was close to beach access. The owner was very helpful and responsive when we ran into a few snags during our stay. She over-compensated for issues very quickly! The 4th bedroom access through the 3rd bedroom was a little surprise upon arrival, but it all worked out ok. I would recommend this house for anyone’s vacation needs to Galveston/Jamaica Beach!

Disappointing stay but near the beach

The house was adequate but not very roomy for the 10 it reports to host. Rooms were cramped. Kitchen cabinets were in disarray, not well stocked for cooking for a large group. The floor of the house was dirty upon arrival. Dog food and a water bowl were left from previous person. There were large empty water bottles left next to a water dispenser but not usable. The countertop ice maker also did not work. The chairs in the storage were usable but the boogie boards were broken. Thought it was on the water since it documents a water slip for boat, no water can be seen from this location.

Casual Vacastay

The Great Room had plenty of space ... Kitchen adequate but cabinets in disarray unorganized. The screened porch was great to enjoy the Gulf Breezes and was pet friendly along with fenced dog area. New Outside shower worked well for sandy beach goers. I knew it was an older property but Sadly I had to clean on arrival to feel comfortable. I am not a germaphobe ... But I do like clean. I sprayed all bathrooms down with foaming disinfectant cleaner. I had to clean dirty surfaces and tables outside before use. I was disappointed and it made me wonder how well the house was cleaned. I would reccomend at least a deep cleaning at start of the season. Including powerwash of the house and porch. The sills were dirty ... Not just lite dust. Outside side tables too not even wiped. And the George Foreman Grill ... Nasty very disgusting. I had to just tell myself NOT to get a bucket & rags to clean and look past the dirt. I was there to enjoy time in Galveston ... Not to deep clean the property. Once past that it was time with friends and family that was enjoyed. The imperfections made it easier to relax and not worry with kids and pets running around having a good time . it was enjoyed overall. I know Melissa is making improvements ... A good scrubbing would be worth the investment. Thank you.

Location

Not as listed! Not close to the beach. The house is located at the last/furthest street in neighborhood. More than 15 minutes to walk to the beach. Too many mosquitoes. When we arrived, lot of trash was there in front of the house. We checked out on Tuesday, it all was still there even though manager told us that trash is always scheduled to be picked up on Monday morning. Terrible!

Family Vacation

We had an overall great experience. The house is close to the beach but not quit the 2 blocks away as listed. The house was clean and stocked. The only drawn back was the smell of smoke on our intial entry, one of the rooms beds was wabbly, and one of the room had to walkthrough another room to gain access. Other than that we liked the house and the area.

Enjoyable week, very pet friendly.

We enjoyed time with children and grandchildren. The small gated fenced in area was great for both dogs and toddlers. Very secure. We also enjoyed the porch. Neighborhood was quiet, even with spring break! House is 0.7 miles from the beaches, but that was ok — we could walk or drive there easily when we wanted. But we mainly enjoyed the house and getting back together at the end (hopefully) of the pandemic! Plenty of room in the house for our party of nine.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Mejia

Host profile image
I am a teacher who grew up on the beach in New York. It was my dream to be able to give my 2 boys the same wonderful memories I had growing up with my family spending time playing and having fun at the beach.
That dream came true in 2010. Our beach house is our favorite place to be and we would love nothing more than knowing others are making their own memories at our house.

Why they chose this property

We chose Jamaica Beach because of the wonderful sense of community, accessibility to the beach and the bay and the amenities the neighborhood has to offer! A neighborhood park with a pool, places to fish, alplayground and basketball courts, a fire department and a police station, plus shops and restaurants.
