Plenty of parking, there's a great amount of beds, privacy was perfect. There is plenty of areas to just chill. Few things to bring: can opener if you're cooking anything in can, an extension cord long-the TV downstairs outside at the picnic table was not plugged in nor near a plug. Be careful on the deck while fishing there are like 2 boards on the low side that I almost fell in because they go all the way down in the water. If you use k-pods bring your Keurig. OH and quite a few outlets upstairs are not working, so find the ones that do and use those. Host was very helpful and everything was good , I'll be staying again in November so I'm prepped on what to bring.

We had a good time but the home needs work. We had a lot of fun at this home on Jamaica Beach. We enjoyed the pool a lot, which is the main reason we chose this home. However the home was very dirty and in disrepair (many lights didn’t work, loose rotted boards on the deck were a hazard, dart board was unusable, and the bathrooms were not in good condition). Besides the pool, the amenities were not good. The positive things are that the house can sleep a lot of people and since it’s on the canal and has a boat slip, it works well for bringing a boat to take quick trips out to the bay. Overall we enjoyed our time there but next time we would probably choose a different house.

This Jamaica Beach house was great! There were 14 of us there and we had an amazing time fishing off the dock and enjoying time on the back porch overlooking the canal! The house was very clean! I had to communicate with the owner during our stay and he replied quickly!

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!!

Fishing and relaxing

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.

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!

Perfect!

This house was everything that we need and then some. The rooms were clean and had ample room for everyone in our group. I couldn’t have asked for a more trouble free and relaxing experience. We showed up with groceries fishing poles and kayaks and everything else was already at the house. Our favorite highlight of the house among many was the outdoor dining area under the covered porch. The table was huge and was the perfect meeting place after the days activities. We will be back!

Great for family getaway

This property had everything we were looking for. We wanted something quiet, on the water, and great for kids to explore and have fun in the sun. This checked all the boxes. The property is actually not located exactly where we thought it was so we were surprised to discover it was on the opposite side of the street than where we wanted (we wanted bay side rather than shallow canal), but it was great. It worked well for our needs. There are plenty of bunk beds so it can accommodate a large group (two rooms downstairs with two bunk beds each) and three rooms on the main level one of which also has a king size bed and side room with two more bunk beds). Worked out well for our group!

Good location!

Home was spacious and clean but in need of updating. It is a nice house that could accommodate 16 or 17 people. It was nice having 3 bathrooms. Coffee and pepper was provided, so you need to bring your salt and any other items for cooking. Even with its shortcoming, I would rent again if I had a large group with a boat attending. I was unable to communicate with our host, it was a Webb problem. I had to call the management office to get a key to the entrance, which was missing and had to use the janitor lock box. They were very helpful.

Our stay at the Canal House was perfect for our family of 10. The home was spacious and welcoming, easily accommodating both our family and our pets’ outdoor needs. The pool was amazing—clean, refreshing, and a favorite gathering spot.We loved the two covered porches—one in the front and one in the back—and the deck had plenty of seating for everyone to relax and enjoy the breeze.Communication with management was excellent. They responded promptly to all inquiries before and during our stay, which gave us peace of mind. I particularly appreciated their thoughtful response to my concerns about past reviews mentioning refrigerator issues. We brought extra coolers just in case, but there were zero problems. In fact, the additional small fridge was a great bonus—we used it for drinks.One important note for future guests: during our stay, a double high tide—combined with a strong north wind—caused the water to rise 8 to 10 inches over the lower deck. Thankfully, we had only left chairs and a few fishing rods out, none of which were swept away. It didn’t rain, so this was purely a tidal event. It would be helpful for guests to be made aware of the potential for rising water in the Jamaica Beach area, especially during certain weather conditions.The Canal House exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely return.

I wanted to take a moment to share our experience during our recent stay at your property. Overall, we enjoyed our time, especially the pool and the fishing on property.However, there were a few areas that we felt could use some improvement. We noticed that the cleanliness of the place did not meet our expectations upon arrival. Additionally, the refrigerator was not functioning properly, which resulted in us having to throw away some spoiled fruit. We believe it would be beneficial to have it replaced.Lastly, we encountered some raccoons that seemed to have taken up residence in the garage. They would venture upstairs looking for food during the night, which was quite concerning.We appreciate your attention to these matters and hope that our feedback is helpful for future guests. Thank you for your hospitality!

DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE!!!The fridge did not work when we arrived didn’t know and spoiled our food. It didn’t work for our trip so we had to eat out and coat a lot more money. Beach box refused to give us any money back it cost us over 400. I told them I was going to share my feedback they did nothing to help me.

The worst absolute worst rental ever.

Check in was 6/28-7/5/2025 this is the worst rental I have ever stayed at. I will continue to post this review on Beach Box, Yelp, and anywhere else I can warn people of this listing and those renting this property. The stairs going into property are not up to code the 2 year old grabbed a rail and it was lose and she almost fell. The dock is very unsafe. Refrigerator seal is busted we lost food and had to ice down everything and buy ice chest. The furniture was broke. House was not cleaned well at all. AC froze up and never got any cooler than 75 in house reaching 80 at peak of day. Being a holiday weekend we were at the mercy of Beach box and vbro. Do not rent this house! I repeat pass on this house unsafe stay. Very moldy vents are nasty. Dirty dishes in cabinets. Showers had no water pressure in all three showers. Upstairs Jack and Jill bathroom will not drain. No hot water in kitchen sink. Cabinets are old and drawers won’t open well. Mattresses are on the floor. Lock box is rusty and doesn’t open well or not at all. They know the AC is crap because almost all bedrooms have window units and the fans they supply are covered in dust and cleaner didn’t even clean them off. The gate has a busted wheel and you have to struggle to open and close the gate. I can go on and on. I post this to make sure no other families go through this heart break. The photographer needs a raise because we got scammed.

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.

We had an amazing weekend at this rental! The property manager was extremely communicative and responsive after booking, prior to check-in, during our stay, and after check-out. The home was absolutely beautiful and spaciously accommodated our big family! I loved that we were able to have everyone under one roof. The kids enjoyed the amenities.
