Coastal A-Frame home on 100 ft main channel in Jamaica Beach. One of the homes many features is a large lot with fenced-in grassy areas surrounding the home. PET FRIENDLY! On the ground level there is a bedroom, bathroom, dining area/ living room and kitchen Downstairs is great for those who find it hard to navigate stairs, for teens needing their own space or for all night fishing! The upper 2 levels each have another bedroom and bathroom. The large deck over the boat house faces East capturing peaks of the bay and the wetlands as well as the southerly breezes coming off the Gulf of Mexico. The large lower dock area in front of the boat lift is a great place where you can fish, swim or just enjoy the water views.

Bring your family and fishing poles and enjoy life on the water!

JAMAICA BEACH
Jamaica Beach Texas is one of the most popular beaches and sought-after neighborhoods when it comes to vacation rentals – what it lacks in size, it makes up for action during the summer months, holidays and event weekends! Jamaica Beach is far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle of Seawall (8 miles), and but not too far away from most of the island attractions (10 miles from 61st Street). Jamaica Beach also has it’s own community pool and private marina and boat ramp, Regatta Basin, a community pavilion and playground.

GULF COAST CONCIERGE
Ryson partners exclusively with Gulf Coast Concierge to make your time on the island unforgettable! Gulf Coast Concierge understands it's the little things that count. Create your own adventures with beach gear and golf cart rentals, a sunset cruise or a bonfire and smores on the beach. Gulf Coast Concierge also offers fishing charters, photo sessions, and a variety of in-home services. If you can dream it, we will do our best to make it happen!

We have booked a lot & stay at many places each year, this one was a bit disappointing. We made the best of it & enjoyed family time, but I wouldn’t book again, sorry. Jamaica beach is wonderful. This property is more like a “rustic canal cabin.” The outside needs a lot of clean up, work, care & love. Downstairs outside has much to be desired. Upon arrival downstairs we noticed trash, cigarette butt & poop in the small grassy area. Runny poop on the DS patio furniture & bird poop everywhere. DS outdoor are- unleveled (caution for kids & elderly), large holes where the bulkhead is washing out (caution). Broken picnic table & broken umbrella; one picnic table usable & two plastic chairs but all had to be cleaned. The grill & bbq pit need replacement; the bbq pit is literally falling apart. The grill was extremely dirty & falling apart but we spent time to clean it & use it the best we could to cook our one meal. Only one light worked DS by the unit, none of the lights by the water worked at all; we bought bulbs even & they shorted out right away so after three we gave up. Thankful we brought several citronella candles & several flashings. There is a broken piece on the gate & some shingles coming off the house on the staircase, just be careful. The DS unit is nice once we sprayed & let it air out; the musty smell went away. The units are not inside. The DS TV does not work so we had to buy a Roku to make it usable. The oven is wobbly & is unsafe. One coffee pot did work. Everything else DS was as expected; the DS unit is very convenient if you spend a lot of time outside like we did & have elderly guests w/you. Upstairs in the main home is pretty nice & a good space. The sliding glass isn’t clear to see out, but the light coming in all the windows/blinds was nice. The ice maker doesn’t work so buy ice before you leave. The outside has broken & warped picnic tables, two nice foldable lounge chairs & some tall chairs (didn’t use)- everything had to be cleaned including the railing as there was bird poop literally everywhere. It’s clear the cleaning fee & cleaning crew is purely inside & nothing is done outside. The inside was very clean, the linens, towels & toiletries were all great! We only cooked one time but there was more than ample pots, pans, dishes, cups, bowls, utensils, etc. & I saw starter seasonings. The frig/freezer is large & spotless clean & everything worked as normal. Hope this helps the next person with expectations & packing.
