Borrowing from Walt Disney's mission for Disneyland, our mission for 'Kachina Cay' is simple...'to be a place where friends & family can have fun together.'

Located on one of the largest canals in Jamaica Beach w/ direct access to Galveston Bay & State Park, you can't ask for a better location...
- 10 minute bike ride to the beach, Jamaica Beach Swimming Pool (open Memorial Day to the first of August), playground & city park
- 20 minute drive to the Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, the Strand & Sea Wall

'Kachina Cay' is a place where families can bike to the beach on our complimentary 'beach cruiser' bicycles. A place where children can fish from our pier or kayak from our dock right into the wildlife preserve at Galveston State Park (we provide kayaks & life vests at no cost). This is a place where parents can relax in the hammock, knowing the kids & pets are playing safely in our fully-fenced yard; & a place where friends can enjoy a day of boating right from our slip, enjoy a game of pickleball on our private driveway court or simply spend the afternoon grilling by the water or relaxing around our fire pit.

Above all else, 'Kachina Cay' is a place to get away for awhile, relax, and enjoy life with each other!

Our private dock is equipped with an underwater fishing light to help draw in the 'big ones' after dark! Trout, red fish, drum, and several other varieties are frequently caught from our deck!

5★ AMENITIES:
We've paid particular attention to the little things that make a stay more comfortable:
- large king beds w/ high-quality, tempurpedic mattresses
- 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets
- premium resort-grade towels
- complimentary beach cruiser bikes and kayaks w/ an assortment of helmets, life jackets and paddles
- charging ports on bedside tables
- high speed wireless internet
- HD Roku TV's in the living room & king bedrooms
- Complimentary pack & play, high chair seat, children's dishware and utensils to make your little one's stay as restful as yours!

Fishing Guide & Boat Rental Service: If you're looking to hit the water for a guided fishing excursion or a dolphin watching sunset cruise, our professional guide service is available to pick you up right at our pier for a full day or half day bay fishing trip. Just walk right downstairs and hop on the boat... it doesn't get more convenient than that! Also, if you are interested in renting a boat during your stay, we can help you arrange a full or half-day boat rental at a special discounted rate for our guests!

Our amenities...: Following an extensive renovation, 'Kachina Cay' now features beautiful granite countertops, glass tile back-splashes, stainless appliances, two full decks overlooking the water and Galveston State Park and much, much more. With two decks & an expansive open floor plan, the home is designed to allow large groups to comfortably relax together.

A note from the owners for parents traveling with small children... we have a 4-year old, 3-year old and 6-month old, so we know what it's like to travel with kids and have designed this home with them in mind. We've taken great care to ensure our home allows children to play safely AND allows parents to enjoy their vacation without constant worry. Lockable safety gates on both the upstairs deck and the fully-fenced yard help keep your children & pets safely away from the water and street. We also have a high chair and pack-n-play available for your use (just make sure to bring crib sheets).

Amenities include: HD Roku TV's (in living room AND bedrooms) and complimentary high-speed wifi, washer/dryer, Moen adjustable shower heads with massage setting, Tempurpedic king mattresses, attached boat slip, deck ladder for swimming in the canal, 2 single kayaks and a tandem kayak w/ paddles & life vests, 3 beach-cruiser bicycles and a tandem two-person bike w/ helmets, covered hammock & swing, 8 person picnic table, beach toys, boogie-boards, all linens, towels, blankets, cookware, etc... all of this and more is included with your stay!

    Host Robin, was welcoming and was very responsive to answer our questions. The location was great, enjoyed fishing from the dock and the amenities were great. Very nicely equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Very clean house with nice firepit and outside seating area. One item of note is that in the house there are 2 full bathrooms. Only one is ensuite, the other is jack 'n jill for two rooms to share. The 3rd bathroom is in the basement area and not accessible from inside the house. Only accessible from the garage area.

    The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated 2 kings. Having a fenced yard gave us peace of mind. The kids enjoyed the bikes and fishing right from the dock. Caught and ate catfish. The neighbor was even helpful with turning on the outdoor party lights. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. That was nice as we ate our meals at home. I would definitely stay here again!

    This house was awesome for us. The bedrooms and baths were good but the living/dining/kitchen is an open area with a high ceiling and lots of room. We fished off the back porch and pulled in a 16 1/2 flounder, some trout and a redfish. Great time, great place.

    This was, by far, the cleanest home we have ever stayed in. It was just as beautiful as represented in the photos. The beds were super comfortable and the linens and towels were very nice. Now my husband wants to book a stay. You won’t be disappointed.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. Check in was as easy as you can get. The property was very clean, and the layout is just perfect. The large family room is just what we needed for our family gathering. And the outside sitting areas are spacious and beautiful.The neighborhood has a great community feel, and everyone we met in Jamaica Beach was very nice and polite.We enjoyed fishing off the back dock, especially at night when the lights were on. Other good fishing spots are very close by.I was the hero of the trip for booking this property. We highly recommend it and I can’t wait to return.

    We spent our anniversary weekend here and could not have been happier. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and open. The beds were extremely comfortable too! The location is great and for the fisherman out there, there is plenty of opportunity for that. This was the first time we stayed here, but it won't be our last.

    It was a wonderful stay. Thank you for providing such a great experience for the entire family. Close to beach and nice view on deck. Pleasant surrounding on the canal. The granddaughters didn't want to go back home!! Once again thank you. Nice to get away from the city.
