Family getaway

Perfect place to stay, especially now during COVID! The place has a washer and drier for you to wash sheets if you would like to and you don’t have to worry about bumping into people passing by while staying at a hotel. It was very clean and a great location on the bayside, with just a walk away for any fisherman leaving boats at Jim’s Pier.

Great Place To Stay

Love staying at this house. It is centrally located, easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and things to do Can launch kayaks into the lagoon just half a block away. About 5 blocks away to the public beach. Or straight down the main road to the bigger area of the beach. The owners were great to talk to, great with communication I would have to say, “ A must stay.”

Our stay was fantastic, the home was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of room for our guest and great parking. The location on SPI was the absolute best. Jibber, the owner/host was a superb host. He answered text immediately and addressed any questions we had even faster and was very accommodating. Definitely will be back next year!

Third Time & Still Charming!

We love Jibberville! Our third visit was wonderful! We love this property and the hosts that prepare it perfectly for each stay! This trip included sand castle building with Jose from Sandy Feet, the Original Dolphin Watch and Eco Tour, a trip to Port Isabel Lighthouse, and a paper cutting art class with Eva Ryan. But the highlight was the Sea Turtle, Inc… five visits this time…AND finally… TWO sea turtle hatchling releases. Jibberville is the perfect spot to enjoy all the Island vibes and have a spot to unwind and relax on the deck at the end of a busy beach day. Looking forward to our future visits! Thank you, Paul and Laura!
