About this property

Gone coastal! Jamaica Beach Open Bay!

*We do not rent for prom groups, weddings or events

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.
Upstairs has 2 central AC units and
Ground level has a wall AC unit as well as a portable AC unit. Please note: **The ground level is not accessible from within the top floor. It has a separate entry downstairs.


If you choose to bring a boat you can enjoy the private dock with a sling boat lift (easily lifts my 24 foot center console), a fish cleaning station with sink, a propane grill and oversized picnic table for 12 to enjoy those fish you catch. 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.

There are 2 adult bicycles, a cornhole game, 1 tandem and one single kayak, multiple crab traps and sand toys all for your enjoyment.

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.

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!

Vacation

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.

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!

Great family get away

This is the 4th time we have visited this property and it never fails to amaze. the owner has continued to make small subtle upgrade over time but the charm and overall attractiveness of the property remains. It has a great location on the canal with very easy access to Galveston State park for those who enjoy kayaking, and the sunrise is spectacular for those included to get up tht early.

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!

Fantastic house for our Family!

The house was great for our family. At first I wasn’t sure about the 1st floor being separate from the main floor. But it worked out great for our 6 grandsons. It was like a dormitory! The kitchen was extremely functional….has a huge island. We love being on the canal….keeps our grandsons busy fishing until everyone is ready to go to the beach. I’m booking this house again for next year!

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.
