My family had a great time in this house - quiet, lovely deck, comfortable. No complaints!
If you are looking for a high end rental with all the bells and whistles this is NOT it. But - if you are looking for a comfortable weekend stay with a great view this is a good bet. The house is dated and could use some TLC but in my opinion the price reflects that so I wasn't too surprised. The outdoor space was great although the small boat dock was not usable. Again, that was communicated ahead of time and not issue for us. We would definitely come back for another weekend in Jamaica Beach. Jamaica Beach realty was very easy to work with too.
Very nice home, great views, communication was amazing. This house apparently was an original build to the area according to a photo in the home. Which is cool Only bad I can really say is be careful on the boat deck, the step is rotting out and isn't sturdy, one side of part of the decking isn't connected so it's tilted and some of the railing on the top balcony is rusted off so it's loose. If you have small children just watch them, it could be hazardous. Other than that the home was great, fishing is easy and the neighborhood is gorgeous.
We loved every moment of our stay here. Beautiful deck that has the most amazing view of the canals. Lovely bay home, very spacious and had everything we needed. Can't wait for our next stay here!!!

My family and I had a great time staying at Sunswept Bay. The house was fantastic and the location was perfect.
We booked this house last minute not expecting too much, but was a real charmer. Very clean, great location and very friendly management. I will rent from them again. Really had a great time.
Nice bay house with Great crabbing! Very good design for 2 couples. We did not need or use the downstairs bedroom, but access to a downstairs bathroom was convenient.

Exactly what my family was looking for!
For our first vacation to take with our 3 kids, this vacation rental was just what we wanted. Very peaceful, clean, and kept the kids entertained the whole time. We fished, caught crabs, and swam right off the deck of the home and made some great memories, plus the beach is just .4 miles away and it was beautiful!
Overall this is a great vacation spot to enjoy some real peace and quiet and just enjoy life.

Reviewer Comments:
I have been staying here during the Lone Star Rally for the last 4 years. I absolutely love this property. Watching the sun rise on the water from the front patio, and then getting to see the sun set on the water from the back deck is simply amazing. I see that they have made some changes to the downstairs bedroom that really surprised me and it looks really good. The neighbors are very friendly also. Looking to make year number 5!!
This place was smaller than I thought. But it fit us well. We loved fishing off the deck and easy access to the beach. Property management were very friendly. I will book directly with them next time. Cons for this place. No washer or dryer. Downstairs room was very hot. Had to purchase my own portable ac. It also smelled very moldy so had to get air freshener as well. Also if you use the water hose make sure to do so in grass as the concrete patio holds water. Overall we had an amazing time here and will definitely be back but in another house with more accommodations to make our stay easier.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is in a great location. However it needs several updates and the bedroom on the ground floor isn’t usable space. Definitely mold there. The house was musty overall and we had to air it out for several hours. It rained and there was standing water downstairs which I am sure is the cause of the mold and musty smell. Finally there was no washer or dryer so we spent part of our time doing laundry at a laundry mat. This could be a great rental but lots of things need to be updated and fixed. Such a shame because the views are excellent not only in the front but the back as well.
Chose this location because it’s perfect for swimming and fishing and close to the beach. Check in was easy. Neighbors are great. The home needs updating. It did smell like pesticides and we opened the windows to air out. Especially downstairs. We took paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags. You’ll need them. My biggest issue, we checked out early and left the keys in the dropbox. I waited until the office was open and called to let them know that the garbage disposal was not working and when my son-in-law put his hand in there to see why it was stuck, he pulled a piece of glass. Later I received a call telling me that there was a lot of glass in the garbage disposal and asked me what I broke. I didn’t break anything. I was the one that reported it. I was accused of lying. Was told that he found it hard to believe that in 4 days, I didn’t use the sink. I am offended. We took paper plates, plastic cups and cutlery and we drank from either plastic or aluminum cans.We ate smoked brisket that we took, we grilled hamburgers and did not need the garbage disposal until the last day when we made spaghetti. Then he said that I should have reported to which I told him that I didn’t call the emergency number because it wasn’t an emergency and it was a holiday. It was back and forth and at the end he said he would have to talk to the “big boss” and let me know if I had to pay. I gave him permission to go to the house and go through my trash if he didn’t believe me. Ruined it.

We had an amazing time at this quaint and spot-on bayside home! The views are incredible and close to the quieter beaches but not too far away from Galveston. The house was clean and cozy and a perfect location. We will be back!

We enjoyed the house with the ship above the door and all the pictures of the flamingos in the bed room and the fruit wallpaper in the bathrooms. Plus the views on the decks was amazing.
The sunset views from the deck were amazing! We lucked out with great 80* plus weather! I will definitely be back! The only drawback was the water pressure was not strong!

Hi Liz,
Thank you for your kind review, and we are so glad you got to enjoy your stay! We believe the water pressure issue was due to maintenance on the main water lines here in the city of Jamaica Beach, but it is back to normal. We do hope you come back soon to see us.
