This is a great place to stay with family and friends close to beach access and far enough away from wild party life if that’s what you want but close enough you can join as well.

Jamaica Beach is one of our favorite places to be and this was, by far, our best experience thus far! The home was extremely clean and well equipped. The host was very communicative and courteous. We were so comfortable that we extended our stay for two additional nights, and we’re already planning or next stay!

Staying at "A Wave Away" was a fantastic experience. Our kids declared that if we go back to Galveston this is the only place to stay ( we have gone three times in the last 8 years). We even had inclement weather and our host made sure that we were where is safe while we were out on the Seawall. We'll definitely use this location again when we go back.
