Double-Decker is a great place to getaway. The location is perfect…walking distance to an almost private beach but close enough to town for restaurants and exploring. They are so easy to work with. Thanks for a great birthday weekend.
A quick walk to the beach.

We go to Galveston fairly often and usually stay on the West End away from all the activity. We loved this townhome. It desperately needs to be updated but it is clean, the view is wonderful and the neighborhood is quiet. My only tiny complaint is that the info. said there was a hair dryer on the property so I didn't bring one, but there was not a hair dryer in any of the bathrooms.

Perfect

The place was amazing. Easy walk to the beach. Location is about 15 minutes from all the good stuff. The beach was great, mostly families. Quiet area with none of the drama you get by the Seawall. Bait shop across the street, and a block away a great little store that even sells fresh shrimp. The place was well appointed, has everything you’ll need. Highly recommended.

Overall stay was good, however the cleanliness was not up to par. There were random hairs around the house, in one of the towels on the primary bed, on the counter in one of the bathrooms and in the kitchen. Location was great but the cleanliness took it down a notch for sure.

Liked: Communication
First- you can hear and see the ocean from the property which makes the property location amazing. Communication was clear and helpful throughout the stay which was so helpful. The house has cosmetic issues like broken drawers, old king size bed that makes for a rough night of sleep, bathroom drains that don’t work, and kitchen countertop and drawer issues. Honestly if the bed was replaced - the location would be enough for me to stay again.

Great location

We truly enjoyed our stay at Jamaica beach. The neighborhood is quiet, but you are still close enough, about 15 minutes drive, to Galveston. You see the beach from all the balconies, dining room and bedrooms. The house is very spacious, just make sure you are ok with climbing stairs. The walk to the beach is only 1 minute, which makes it helpful if you forgot something or want to take a quick break from the sun. We felt comfortable and safe leaving our chairs and beach toys when going back to the house for lunch or breaks.

Comfortable Stay

The townhouse was very clean and comfortable and close to the beach. We picked this location because cars can’t drive on that portion of the beach and we were traveling with our 1 year old. We did bring a baby gate to contain him on the top floor, but other than that it was a good space for a little one.

We recently celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday with a weekend getaway, and it was an experience to remember! We chose a lovely place that welcomed our dog, making it a truly family affair.From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and at home. The views of the Gulf from our balconies were breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop for our stay. The atmosphere was peaceful, allowing us to unwind and enjoy each other’s company fully.One of the highlights was the hospitality of our hosts. They were incredibly friendly and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. It’s always nice to feel welcomed, and they certainly made us feel that way.However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. Upon our arrival, we noticed that a couple of towels were dirty, but thankfully, we had brought our own. Additionally, the kitchen chairs hadn’t been cleaned properly, as there were crumbs left from previous guests. While these issues were a bit disappointing, they were not enough to overshadow the overall enjoyment of our stay.In conclusion, despite the minor cleanliness hiccups, we had a fantastic time. The combination of stunning views, a relaxing atmosphere, and attentive hosts made it a perfect getaway for my husband’s milestone birthday. We’d definitely recommend this place to others looking for a peaceful retreat!

Don't search any further~

This is the perfect spot for a get-away! Plenty of room for cooking and family time. You can see the beach between the houses and when you load up your beach gear into the large wagon in the storage closet, you will be on the sand in a few minutes! The beach is just for residents so every time we went, we had a big section of the beach all to ourselves! The outdoor shower even has hot water, so it was easy to keep the sand outside. We can't wait to go back!

Beachy, relaxing retreat

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Double Decker. We love the location, close to a quieter beach, and conveniently close to a beach access: only a two-minute walk to the sand. We love the beachy decor as well as the ocean view and relaxing sound you can enjoy from any of the three decks. The kitchen would benefit from some upgrading, but it does have everything we need to cook nice meals plus a few extras (both Keurig-type and drip coffee makers, blender, potato masher, grater…). The administrators were very quick to respond and very helpful when we needed.
