Pre-cruise

I had a large group of 10 staying the night prior to a cruise out of Galveston the following morning. The house was PERFECT!! It was clean, comfortable, and so cute! We just wish the rainy, cold weather weren’t a factor as we would have loved to spend time out by the pool or the beautiful decks. The house was wonderful and our host was very quick to answer my questions. A wonderful experience!!

Would stay again

There were certain details of the property that we didn’t like (fridge not working properly, mold in the building and in the washer, some furniture being damaged), but we overlooked those details and made it work. We still very much enjoyed our stay and given the opportunity we probably would stay there again.

Overall Great Stay

The house was great for our readers retreat, With many beds to accommodate everyone in our group to have their own bed. It was a group of 10 and not all beds were used. One room on the lower level was hot, it had an AC window unit. It did not bother us because no one slept in there but I went in there several times and it was hot in there each time. Two rooms were on the lower level separate fromThe house with its own entrance. That was sort of a downer for us because we wanted to be together, but it was OK. I must’ve missed that part in the description of the house, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker besides that the house is perfect for any questions and concerns I had I got a quick response from host. I would love to stay here again in the summer if they fix the AC unit in that hot room because I loved the amount of vets it has. I would recommend for big families and groups.

I recently stayed at this home on a canal in Jamaica Beach. It was an incredible experience. The fishing was amazing. In the evening, we enjoyed drinks and cooked up a delicious fish dinner. The house was clean and comfortable, and had a great outdoor area for relaxing.

Beautiful property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house! Love Jamaica Beach and loved this house. Plenty of room for everyone to be together but still have privacy. The house was clean and updated with seemingly brand new appliances and cookware. LOTS of beautiful outdoor seating spaces where you can choose to be under a cover or in the sun. Russell answered all of our questions and was very helpful. We will be staying here again!

Definitely Recommend! Would Stay Again.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! We're already talking about a return visit! The house was very clean, spacious, and comfy for our family! The fire pit and picnic tables provided the perfect gathering and eating space, and the outdoor TV and bar area were great as well! We rented kayaks and enjoyed fishing the canals, and the kids caught a few trout from the dock. I really can't say enough about how great this house is, and how much fun we had!! Thank you for opening your home and allowing us to stay here, we couldn’t have picked a better house!

Very impressed with the home. Loved the way the home was organized to allow for separation of our youth. The only thing missing was an outside shower to reduce the amount of sand on the floors, as well as there was not an available broom to sweep the floors.

Family trip Summer 2021

This was an end of summer trip for my family. With one having just graduated high school and another going into his junior year, we wanted to take advantage of the time we have left with them at home, and the family decided to spend some time in Galveston. The home was beautiful, above and beyond our expectations and the Beachbox team were incredible. They worked with us on an early checkin and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves! The beach was quiet for a summer weekend, and the neighborhood is great! We are hoping to return next Summer!
