Jamaica Beach is a unique community located on Galveston's West End. It is a small-town community with full-time residents as well as visitors who appreciate the scenic sunsets, the quiet streets for walking/bicycling, and the friendliness of everyone. Our beach house is located conveniently near the bird sanctuary, Galveston St. Park, and the beach. Jamaica Beach has its own new public pool with a huge shallow area for the kids. Admission fee is $5/day per person with children under the age of six being admitted free with parents. The boat launch is only blocks away with the convenience of a sandwich shop, grill, hardware store, Red Box, and a small grocery store nearby. The Cozy Cottage is a free-standing studio-plan (open, no interior walls). The cottage is surrounded by palm trees. There is one queen-sized bed. There are living/dining areas, and a convenient sized kitchen. Ideally, the cottage would be a quiet getaway for a couple of friends or that significant other. If needed, there is a sofa bed. Towels/linens are provided along with paper towels and toilet tissue. The kitchen is adequately supplied with a coffee pot, microwave, and dishwasher. For cooking, dishes and cookware are also available. The electric stove and the refrigerator are new.

The owners were very accommodating on ways to see every guest including our 3 year old was thought of.
We were looking for somewhere affordable where we could enjoy the beach without breaking the bank on lodging. It was close to everything. This cabin had just enough room for a small family, and plenty to do between family games, grill and sitting areas, and any supplies and beverage variety you could think of to feel like you were home away from home.

Cozy and comfortable
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is clean, comfortable and fully equipped and as described in the listing. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and close to beaches and parks, which was great for birding and just relaxing. The host responded promptly to our questions and was friendly and helpful. We would recommend it and would stay there again when visiting the area.
This was a great beach house at Jamaica Beach. It is close to the beach. Could walk or ride a bike if did not want to take vehicle to beach. There could be a few updates such a air conditioner. It ran most the time we were at the beach house and the house was still a little warm. Pricing was faboulous and very fair.

Clean and simple home surrounded by beautiful palms close to beach and bay in quiet neighborhood
This small bungalow sleeps 2-4 comfortably with one bedroom and a sofa sleeper in the living area. Great for a couple or small family. The property was very clean even though it is an older home. With lots of windows to open, you can enjoy the gulf breeze and sound of the palm trees inside or out. There is a covered deck up top and private area at ground level where you can enjoy the outdoors and a graasy yard for playing. It is just a 6 block walk to the beach and a 4 block walk to a nice playground in Jamaica Beach. Jamaica Beach has great sidewalks to enjoy a walk or bike ride along the bay or to the beach or just for exercising. Within a mile, there are several restaurants a grocery/meat market, golf cart rental, etc that make the stay more convenient.
Cute little place but please realize their are only window units and they don’t cool as well in this Texas heat during the day - night time was okay. Great location.
We always love coming down to Jamaica Beach for the summer and this visit did not disappoint. Richard promptly answered any question I had regarding our stay. The cottage was perfect for my family of 3. It was close to the beach and was very peaceful at night. We will definitely be returning to the Cozy Cottage.
Our first time visiting Jamaica Beach and we weren’t disappointed. The home had everything we needed. It is a no frills place but we felt as if we were visiting a family home for the week. Very comfortable and a welcoming feel . And for that price we have no complaints!
We enjoyed our stay, me and my husband stayed for four nights and it was quite and super cozy. The house was super clean and I would definitely recommend staying here!
It was a lovely little place for a quick trip to visit relatives!!! The owners were very responsive and had so many helpful tips ready to guests staying in the area!
Clean, comfortable, well maintained . Owner friendly and easy to work with.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location
Good but in need of repair. 10 blocks from beach.
The property was nice but in need of some simple repairs and maintenance. The beach was farther than the impression given. If your young 10 blocks is not far but we had to drive. Permanent neighbors had dogs that barked constantly. There was lots of lawn chairs locked in the garage that we had no access to and none outside, Laundry area and machines were usable but needed cleaned bad. Property manager indicated that paper products was provided, but being in that business it was obvious that what was there was left by previous guest. Be prepared to purchase what you need if staying longer. The listing indicated housekeeping but we saw no one. If extra charge it was unclear.
The house was exactly as stated in the description. Nothing fancy, but very clean and comfortable. It is basically one large room with a half wall separating the bedroom from the living room. The kitchen was well stocked and efficient. We had a minor issue with the DVD player, but the owners took care of it immediately. Since it rained most of the time we were there, we really looked forward to watching some movies in the evening.
I would definitely stay again. Just a short walk or drive to the beach or to the bay. Quiet and cozy unit
Great little spot for me and my partner. Has everything you need and was immaculately cleaned. Richard was great about answering any questions quickly.
Cozy little cottage walking distance from the beach
This is a great little beach hose for a couple or small family. The hosts have it well stocked with everything you may need during your stay. It is clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again!
