About this property
Waterfront Home! Kids/Pet Friendly! Kayaks/Bikes!
* Our boat slip is not available for guests to bring their personal boat. * Garage is not available for guests to park their car inside the garage.
Welcome to Water’s Edge in Jamaica Beach where families can have fun in the sun and shade, in the water and on land! Water views are everywhere from this house that is just around the corner from the bay access. For the water, we have two kayaks, including a fast fishing kayak, and paddle board. For everyone’s safety, we also have life jackets of various sides including for kids. Want some waves? The beach on the Gulf side is a few minutes away by car, or you can rent a golf cart…either way you can park on the beach so it’s easy to bring your own beach chairs, toys and boogies boards.
Tired of the water? We have a HUGE dock and covered patio area that features two porch swings, a single swing, a picnic table that’s great for eating dinner together using the new Weber charcoal grill (charcoal provided by the guest), or playing games, and a great wet bar. Love fishing? We have fishing by the dock and an underwater light that regularly features redfish, trout and more at night. In the garage, challenge each other to games of foosball or darts! The yard is gated on three sides. The front of the house, left and right side of the house. The canal side is not fenced.
On the large, recently renovated upper deck, we have lounge chairs with new cushions and pillows, an outdoor eating table and Weber charcoal grill (charcoal provided by guest) and an umbrella for those sunny days. At night you can enjoy sitting together to watch the shades of sunset change over the bay. We also have a gate to keep kids and pets upstairs.
In the recently updated house, Water’s Edge has windows across the entire water side of the home for a bright open concept living, dining and kitchen area. The large kitchen includes stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and best of all, a wine (or beverage) fridge! The kitchen also has a pantry and lots of storage space, and is fully equipped with everything you need. Traveling with small kids? We also have plastic plates and cups so you don’t need to worry about broken dishes.
The dining table seats six and features a bar counter with an additional four bar stools to fit a larger group. The living room has very comfortable sectional sofas and two chairs so you can comfortably sit together to watch TV or play games. We have Hulu and have a DVD player with some throwback DVD movies.
Water’s Edge has three spacious bedrooms and two full baths all on the main floor so no additional stairs!
The large master features a queen size Tempur-pedic memory foam bed and en suite master bath with a jet tub. In these days where so many can work from anywhere - if you need to log on for a while, the master also has a desk and comfortable desk chair with extra plugs and phone chargers. And who wouldn’t love to work while looking out the windows to the water?
The second bedroom also has a comfortable full size bed with European pillow top and a desk, and the third bedroom has a full bed and a new bunk bed for kids or parents and kids to be together – also with water views. The third bedroom has books for kids of different ages so you can entice them away from the electronics! There’s also a full-sized air mattress if an additional sleeping space is needed. The second bathroom has a full bathtub with shower head.
Amenities include: Keyless entry, 55” Smart TV with Hulu streaming service in the living room, complimentary high speed Wi-Fi, central A/C and heat, all linens, towels, blankets, dishes and cookware including a new crockpot, a small crawfish boil pot/burner, washer/dryer, jet tub in master, a queen bed, 2 full beds and a bunk bed, board games, puzzles and books, wet bar, attached boat slip, deck ladder for swimming in the canal, 2 kayaks and paddle board with paddles and life vests, foosball and darts set, and much more is included with your stay! Beach towels are not included.

Our 3 day stay was wonderful - the home was beautiful and just as expected. Our host was fantastic (thanks Paras) - he made certain that we were comfortable and everything was to our expectations from the check-in to check-out process. Paras' communications and recommendations were on target everytime.We will definitely be back.
Absolutely beautiful home and wonderful area! So many amenities and perfect location. Home was clean, gorgeous, and offered everything we could want and more!
House was in a great location, clean, and had everything needed during our stay. The kids enjoyed the different activities available to them and the host was very responsive. We would definitely go back.
Would definitely stay again. We VRBO a lot and this was a really nice stay. House is nicely updated and was super clean. The water toys and ping pong were fun. Great owner!
Property was perfect for our family vacation. Home was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed fishing and just relaxing inside and outside. Great communication daily and could not have been happier with our stay. Will definitely be back!
Loved the location and the canal home was great for fishing. The owner had excellent communication with us throughout our stay. Any issues we had were quickly addressed. The kitchen needs some updating but other than that it was a great stay and would definitely book again!
We had a great stay! Our host checked in on us with arrival details, and to assure we had what we needed. The house was decorated for the holiday and it felt so cozy. There were ample supplies at the house where there was no need to run out shopping first day. The house felt homey but well laid out! The outside was great and my grandson loved the fishing, games and kayaks! Such a peaceful community too! Thanks for a great experience and look forward to being back!
LOVED the deck area for relaxing and soaking up the sun! Very clean--rooms were large; kitchen is very well stocked with supplies; lots of storage. In the evening, the green night light on the deck was amazing to watching the "ring of fish" along with other fish with the swings being an added bonus.
House was amazing with ample supplies. Host was very responsive and sent a detailed message about things to do, places to eat etc. That was very helpful during our stay. Very friendly neighbors, quiet community. Would definitely reconnend and stay again. Thank you!!!
The owner communicated very well and gave suggestions for eating out and shopping. The home was very clean and well-equipped. The outside area was amazing. I just wish we had more time to enjoy all of the amenities.
Great location. Canal was awesome. Lots of fishing, kayaking and relaxing. Grass and fence was perfect for dogs. House was beautiful and fully stocked with anything you need to make your stay feel like home. Lots of windows overlooking the canal. Highly recommend this place and cute little town.
We spent three nights here over Spring Break. The house was big enough for 5 teenage boys, 2 adults, and two dogs. Plenty of fun things to do (kayaks, ping pong, dart, foosball, fishing) to keep them entertained. It's in a quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac so we didn't have to worry about all night parties from neighbors or people driving by at all hours of the night. Overall, a great stay and would recommend.
Great stay, very responsive and accommodating host!!
We stayed in this home to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday. The kids had a great time fishing off the dock, playing foosball and ping-pong and darts! My husband and I enjoyed relaxing and watching them have the best time! The host was very responsive and eager to make sure we felt comfortable and accommodated. We really enjoyed Jamaica beach and staying on the canal was fantastic!
My family and I had a very relaxing stay at the property. It was clean and had everything necessary to enjoy time away from our busy life. Paras, was very personable and pleasant. She checked on us to ensure that we were comfortable. We definitely plan on returning!
Absolutely loved the stay, host was very prompt and informative. The property which is on a canal, water is about 7 feet deep off the dock. We brought our boat, my total boat length is 25 feet, had no issues docking at the house, very convenient if you love to fish the bay. It is a quiet neighborhood and was a great get away for my family.
We came with our kids and their friends and had a great time! We were able to cook all our meals, eat outside and just enjoy the outdoors. The kayaks, paddle board and games downstairs are great entertainment for friends. The house is clean and the host Paras is very responsive. Will definitely come again!
My family and I had such a great stay at Water's Edge. It was clean, it was comfortable, great location on the canal, and so many amenities and activities - ping pong, darts, kayaking, paddle board, etc. Water's Edge had everything we wanted for our stay and more! So fun! Stores and restaurants close by too! The host was extremely quick to respond to a few questions I had and very helpful. I would definitley recommend Water's Edge!
Paras really thought of everything on this property. Feel like laying out? The upper deck is perfect. Feel like sitting in the shade on a swing while the family kayaks and paddle boards? The lower lounge is perfect. We forgot our pack and play and found one in the master closet - in clean condition! Quiet and lovely neighborhood. The grocery store 5 min away has everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay.
My family and I booked this home for a week in July. We live in Houston and wanted an easy vacation on the water. When we arrived at the house, check in was super easy, the house was beautiful and clean, the kayaks and beach supplies were ready! However, our first morning there a hurricane in the gulf turned directly toward galveston and we had to evacuate back to our home in Houston. We were never able to return to the bay house but the property host was very kind and communicative. He helped us get a refund back, even though it meant staying on hold with vrbo for a very long time! Excelllent house and an excellent host!
