Vacation is all about location and this renovated home is right on Galveston bay. A fisherman's dream with a sling boat lift, submerged and overhead fishing green lights. Bring a float or use our kayaks and enjoy a protected cove or paddle out to Galveston Island National State Park. Unwind upstairs with seating for 8 on the balcony that looks upon the bay & wetlands. Head over to Jamaica Beach Coast side and enjoy building sandcastles, fishing or just sit and relax.

The renovated home features upstairs all new cabinets, floors, bathrooms with carrera marble and subway tiles plus new TV's through out. The kitchen is oversized and allows for many to congregate with out feeling confined. The dining area can comfortably seat 14.

There is a submerged and overhead green light that attracts all varieties of gamefish. If you prefer to charter a boat you can get picked up right from our dock. You may put your boat in at the Jamaica Beach Marina - there is a $10 launch fee. please visit www.ci.jamaicabeach.tx.us to get helpful info about the beach rules, closures, parking, the swimming pool etc.

Jamaica Beach is 10 minutes from the heart of Galveston and has it's own Fire and Police department. There is a public pool you can enjoy seasonally for a small fee, a public park with playground and basketball goal. There is a private boat ramp, a liquor store, hardware store & washateria.

Another wonderful stay in Jamaica Beach

The house was immaculate and spacious enough for 8 adults and 2 little ones. We’ve rented the home previously and it hasn’t disappointed. We look forward to staying here again in the near future.

Gone Coastal is definitely for us!

This year was our third stay at Gone Coastal and we enjoyed it as much as in the prior years. The weather was nice enough to allow us to fish, crab, kayak and even go swimming in the gulf. It was a lot of fun for everyone. We definitely plan to come again.

Jamaica Beach Weekend Fishing Getaway

Weekend fishing with friends and family. House was great, nice, clean and spacious. Location is absolutely wonderful. Fishing was so-so, but overall -- great experience with this rental. Would definitely stay here again. Son-in-law made note of the address to book a stay with his fishing buddies.

Very enjoyable family gathering

The house is large and comfortable enough to accommodate our whole family. The kids "dormitory" downstairs adds to the camping experience for the little ones. We fished, canoed, went to the beach near by and had a great time. We plan to be back next year.

Feels like home!

The property is so beautiful just like the pictures . Being on the water was so much fun and we caught several fish. The neighborhood is beautiful and the neighbors are friendly. The beach is just a few minutes away which is very convenient. In about a 20 minute drive we were able to get to all of the energy that was in town. Overall this is an amazing property!

Location of property was perfect. House was on the located right on bay as stated. Able to fish right off the dock. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of space and seating for everyone. Beach about a mile / 2 miles away. Able to park car on beach. We had a great time. Would stay at house again.

Recharge

Great place to stay! We had family and friends on a "take it easy" vacation and were highly satisfied with our stay. Multiple downstairs beds made it the younger adults territory while the upstairs was taken by the "slightly " older adults. Days at the beach were followed by nights on the dock catching sand/speckled trout. 3 full meals were cooked during our stay and the kitchen had all of the essentials needed. House was nice and clean and neighborhood was quiet. Overall great stay!

Great location

We loved our stay, the location is great. We left a note for the cleaning crew, we realize that doesn’t all fall on the homeowner don’t get us wrong, we LOVED the stay, but they could have been a little more thorough. We would highly recommend this location, if you’re bringing a bigger party the rooms are split between the levels with access via outdoor stairs (that’s in the description and we didn’t read through that well enough to catch that before booking but it wasn’t a problem, just something to keep in mind for larger parties!). We caught some fish and enjoyed every sunrise and sunset, the patio is spacious and this is truly an amazing location!

Great family weekend

After a short issue with the lock on the property the rest of the weekend went without incident. As the pictures show the view of the water and adjacent state preserve are spectacular. Kitchen is nicely outfitted and plenty of seating space for our family of 8 including the girlfriends. Downstairs sleeping arrangements are also nicely done. We didn’t use the grill this trip but it is there for your use and the kayaks make a great morning and evening fishing opportunity. All around we will certainly return in the spring!

Right at the mouth of the Bay

Location, house and neighborhood were top notch. The house was decorated so nice. The 1st thing I look at when booking are the bedrooms. No one wants to rent a house with uncomfortable beds. The beds had very pretty and neat linen's and were super comfortable, good pillows and big. Kitchen had everything we needed. The living room was very comfortable and spacious. The bottom level was perfect when you have kids who love their own room/space away from parents. It had small kitchen and fridge which was a plus and a small restroom/shower also perfect. Driveway nice and roomy. Fishing and boatlift great and awesome greenlight for night fishing. Will stay again.

Wonderful for family fun!

Our daughter was getting her white coat from UTMB and we were able to come together for the ceremony and stay for a vacation. We had 12 adults and a 5 year old. Everyone had a bed! The upstairs is truly luxurious and comfortable. Downstairs is functional. We sent the youngest daughter and her friends down there. They could stay up a little later so that was nice. The location is perfect. Some of us easily went to the beach and some stayed at the house with kayaks and a float and some fished and set crab traps. There are games, beach toys, and life jackets. The kitchen is very well stocked. There is a lot of room for family games inside and out. We had a very nice stay!

Great Upper Level of Home

We chose this house because it had 5-bedrooms and could accommodate our extended family which included grandparents and kids. The main level of the home is beautiful and updated with an amazing deck with views of the water. The lower level felt like a completely different home, housing two of the five bedrooms, one small stand-up shower, and separated toilet and sink. The lower level is more like a large college dorm with basic amenities. It is fine for sleeping, albeit warm and humid, guests will not want to spend extended time in the lower level. There are window units and dehumidifiers, but they struggle to keep up.

Great, not great

For some of us, the stay was great, but for others, not so great. The up stairs contains a living area with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathroom, kitchen and living area. It was great! The downstairs had 2 bedrooms and a bathroom along with a small kitchen counter, washer and dryer and fridge. The downstairs had a window unit and a portable air conditioner, which leaked huge amounts of water on the floor the entire time. The fridge reaked of shrimp wich permeated the whole room. There were also 2 dehumidifiers that had to be emptied about 4 times a day. But what was really wrong with this room was that it had a very, very strong Raid smell. So much that if you spent any amount of time down there, your lips would burn from the chemicals. They must have set off a bomb right before we got there. Even the comforters smelt of Raid. If you used the washer, it made such a loud sound that you honestly couldn't have a conversation with it running. The bottom foor was a miserable mess. This house should not be listed as a 5 bedroom home. More like a three bedroom home with a basement to store fishing equipment. We were told that the bottom floor would have a musky smell and that we needed to open the door and let the air conditioner run for about 20 minutes. Never smelt a musky smell, just Raid. So if you were fortunate to get the upstairs, you were comfortable! However, not so comfy for those downstairs.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy

Host profile image
We are a family that enjoys both surfside and bayside fishing. Having spent many years traveling to the coast, when we had to opportunity to have a home right on the open bay we jumped on it. This home allows us to have a full morning of fishing, followed by an afternoon at the beach. Often we end our day eating the catch of the day or heading into town to enjoy the many different restaurants that Galveston boasts. This is our ideal vacation day!

Why they chose this property

The location is on a quiet end of the street that has views of the water from every window.

What makes this property unique

For a fisherman every extra minute of sleep counts. Not being in the canals that are no wake zones allow for a few extra z's. There is a protected jetty out the bay and it serves for a perfect place to kayak out and set crab traps.
