Beach Waves B - Steps Away from the Beach, Book Now!

We loved the house and the area.

We really enjoyed our stay, the house was close the beach. We will stay again. The kitchen was lacking many common kitchenware. (IE cookie sheets, knives, skillet, bowls), however, if people before rented both units, they may have moved them to the top. Other then that, everything was peaceful. A little gem.

The location of this property is perfect. A private neighborhood with a short walk to the beach. There is no public beach access near the property that would increase the traffic to the beach. This part was great. We were not expecting a 5 star resort experience but the property that we stayed in was not up to expectations. I get that recent storms had damaged properties and increased the amount of repair and maintenance involved with up keep but, there were issues that could have been easily remedied. The inside of the unit had a damp smell. Being close to the water a certain amount of dampness is expected but the filter in the through wall air conditioner had not been cleaned. The only AC in the unit is in the main room . The bedroom and bathroom are separated from the unit by a door. In order to cool the bedroom you needed to keep the bedroom door open. The furniture outside on the patio were rusted and needed to be replaced. There were scattered items outside, Empty flower pots, beach toys etc. The outside beach shower was in the backyard and there was an old folding chair and a piece of deck with rusty screws leaning up against the wall. I hate to be critical because the location was perfect and with just a small amount of clean up it would have been acceptable. Clean AC filter, cut the grass and remove overgrown landscaping, remove old chairs and lumber with screws, remove or replace the rusty chairs. Install an AC in the bedroom/ bathroom area.

Its perfect if you want to avoid the holiday crowds because the property itself is right on residential beach! Jamaica beach wasnt nearly as crowded as the state park or Seawell beach. As people who have travelled to Galveston several times, we loved the isolated part and didnt mind driving 20 mins to get to the popular amenities. But, that were ALOT of cons. The property downstairs is not made for families. That couch bed was literally on wires and poked my daughter a few times when she got bruised. The couch itself is much older and didnt appear too clean so I was the one who washed the couch cover before i would let my daughter on it. The freezer had very yellow ice. The TV in the bedroom was broken, we were told that the owner was aware of the broken TV but wasnt going to do anything about it. Which is misguided on the description of the property. My husband and I pride ourselves in being extremely clean guests, so it was appalling to stay in a semi clean property, which was inspected by another professional per card left on kitchen table. There was a fenced in backyard but the other person did not pick up their dogs poop so we did it, because we didnt want to get charged for someone's lack or responsibility. Another misguided info, it was stated we would access to the community pool. What was meant, was you would have to pay to access the pool for the area of Jamaica beach. A huge health concern was how infested of mosquitoes the property was.

Loved the house. Right by the beach. Super clean. Loved the outdoor shower. Definitely needs air conditioner in the bedroom. House was very clean. Really wnjoyed the communication and kindness from the property manager.
