Great Mother’s Day weekend getaway! The place was exactly as described-clean, peaceful, and very well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with Judy was easy, and she was such a sweet host. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway, and we would absolutely love to return!

Everything was great. Communication was wonderful and accommodations were lovely. Hot tub was good. We made everyone wash if they got in the water at all before they got in. It looked a little murky when we got there, but the boys didn't care. Thank you so much. This was a prom weekend our boys won't ever forget.

Perfect house on the main canal.

We had a fantastic weekend largely thanks to the amazing house. It is in a prime location for fishing right off the private dock. The house had everything you could need and was very clean and well furnished. I hope to return for another trip soon.

Amazing home!

My family and friends had a wonderful stay here! We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio, and the hot tub. We loved the access to the canal and watching the fish in the green light at night. The house was plenty spacious and had all the necessary amenities! Looking forward to coming back for our next beach vacation! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Family time made easy!

Our stay was wonderful, we absolutely loved this house and cannot wait to come back. The house is perfect for everything you need, the kitchen is well stocked along with so many things to do. The kids loved to fish all day and most of the night. When they were not fishing they were in the paddle boat or kayaks. We highly recommend renting this house for your next vacation!

Fantastic weekend

We had a great weekend at your house in Jamaica Beach. We noticed the great parking situation when we pulled up. Fantastic view of the water, plenty of space to gather and/or relax and watch the boats pass by. We had not stayed on the canal before and really enjoyed swimming and fishing off the dock. The house was very clean with comfortable furniture and mattresses. It was also close enough to go into Galveston for dinner and sightseeing. I would recommend this place as I will be rebooking in the future.

Pretty Perfect Place

Everything about this place was as close to perfect as possible. Wonderful home with many amenities. Great dock and sitting area. Great for boats or kayaks, with easy access to the bay and Galveston Island State Park. Easy fishing right from the dock, though. Lots of sand perch, a sand trout, couple of nice black drums, and piggy perch. This will be our Go-To Galveston area place to stay. Loved it.

We had an absolutely wonderful two-week stay at this canal home and couldn’t have asked for a better Galveston getaway. The house was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing long stay. The outdoor space was a standout—soaking in the hot tub, watching the fish gather under the fish light at night, and enjoying the peaceful canal views made every evening feel special.The kayaks and paddleboard were a huge bonus and made it easy to enjoy the water right from the property. The location was ideal: quiet and relaxing, yet just minutes from the beach and everything we wanted to do. It truly felt like a home away from home.The host was welcoming, responsive, and clearly takes pride in the property. Everything was well maintained and exactly as described. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-equipped, and memorable Galveston stay.

My family and I had an incredible time at this beautiful vacation rental! It honestly felt like home away from home. The house is fully stocked with basic household necessities, the beds were nice and cozy, and the amenities were top tier! We were wow’d from the time we arrived onto the property! The views are amazing! The jacuzzi was steaming hot and very relaxing!! The outdoor shower was a big hit as well! The hot water is actually on the left hand side but it was so amazing to experience! The laundry room has extra space accommodating up to 4 more people with the bunk beds. The puzzles and toys kept the little ones busy as we fished in the dock. The kayaks were an awesome addition as well! Our family was blown away at the entire experience ! From catching 28 fish including catfish, catching a stingray was the coolest! We also caught a few crabs & saw pools of fish under the fishing lights swimming in the water. Definitely recommend this property for a family getaway. The upstairs deck did not disappoint! A great place to enjoy your morning coffee while enjoying the viewWill absolutely book again! Thank you for an incredible stay at your lovely home.
