The Boardwalk - Oceanfront, Elevator, BIG Beach Views!
Summary:
Stunning beach and oceanfront location, this seaside home offers a bonus lot right on the water's edge and classy boardwalk access to the long stretch of sand and surf! Enjoy this majestic home's Gulf sunrise AND Bay sunset views from the windows and balconies galore.
The Space:
From the carefully selected whimsical beach decor to the comfortable luxury bedding, this home has been designed for you just to relax and unwind. Listen to those surf sounds and feel that breeze only the coast can create. The Boardwalk by the Beach is waiting for you! (Exterior and aerials photos shown taken Feb 2025)
Originally the developer's own home, no expense was spared in building this unique shaped modern home located in one of the few private gated communities in the area. From the gun-barreled copper roof to the curved walls and archways throughout, to the wide open views of the beach and the bay, this is a one-of-a-kind property.

The Neighborhood:
This home is located in a gated high-end neighborhood, The Boardwalk, with beachfront and 2nd row homes right in the heart of Jamaica Beach. It is walking distance to a few local restaurants, hardware store, gas station and coffee shop.
JAMAICA BEACH:
Jamaica Beach is a 979 Crew well-loved community located about 10 minutes from the heart of Galveston and is part of the island's desirable West End offering restaurants, grocery, and beach-worthy activities. Jamaica Beach has access to the Gulf side as well as the Bay side (house dependent) and also has its own fire and police department plus city park with pool. Jamaica Beach's boat launch is restricted. If you plan on bringing a boat, the closest public launch is at Waterman's off Stewart Road about 3 miles east of Jamaica Beach.
Getting Around:
WEST END AREA:
It's always Island "Vacation" Time on Galveston's West End!
Come visit and enjoy ALL the outdoor adventures you could want! Watch dolphins, fish from the pier (or from one of our canal, bay or beachside rental homes), surf the waves, kayak, beach comb and soak up the sun and sea air. And after a day of activities, stop by one of the nearby popular hangouts - The West End Marina & Restaurants, The Waterman Seafood Grill and/or Nate's West End for a fun atmosphere to enjoy snacks, cocktails or meal!
Other Things to Note:
HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:
The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!
WIFI/TV SERVICE:
Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches!
