Great location
The location was great and the house was clean. Only issues I had were that there weren’t enough towels and I had to go buy some. When you have a house that’s supposed to accommodate that many people I feel there should be enough. If you plan on making food, which most do that stay there, then take your own bowls with lids because there are none( also had to go buy some). The pots and pans were kinda bad and everything was in a disarray. The futon bed needs a new mattress. We had a great time but I just wish those things would have been better.

Wonderful place!!
This beach house was the perfect place. It’s nice & has plenty of room. It is so close to the beach you can walk to it. The only issue we had was apparently whoever used the pans last just put them up without cleaning them. We had to clean all the pans we used because there was food on them. Other than that, we loved the place & we would definitely stay again.

Great House Close to Beach
Overall the property was just what we needed for our group. Three bedrooms upstairs with two full bathrooms. One bedroom and game room in separate downstairs area. No full bathroom downstairs, but still worked out. The property is a little older, but it is well cleaned inside, air works great and the owner was very helpful. Other reviews commented on being across from the fire station, but we only heard fire trucks one night for only a few times. It is right across the street from convenience store, liquor store and a few local restaurants. That was great for us! Easy to get ice for coolers in the morning. The lot had room for all of our vehicles. It was close enough to the beach for a 3 minute walk, but far enough away for some privacy. We rented beach gear to be delivered during our stay and that was the best decision!

The place had surprisingly plenty of room and beds. It is an older house, but very nice to stay in. It is across from the fire, EMS and police building. So there are a lot of sirens at different times. It was just a short walk to the beach without having to cross the main road we had a great time.

Jamaica Beach Vacation
The location is amazing. Very convenient. The house definitely sleeps the amount of people it says. But there are a few issues to be concerned with. There is clearly an electrical issue. The outlet in the closet in one of the bedrooms sparks when you plug something in. The lights and overall power dim if you have 2 or 3 things running at a time, we had a visitor (a rat) tear through our food in the kitchen and we are extremely clean and leave nothing out. Also, there is one bathroom where the toilet area is so small that really only a very small child fits in it. Finally, the sliding door in the laundry area that leads to the front porch does not lock and the beds and couches are not even remotely comfortable. The floors were disgustingly dirty when we got there with sand all over. Overall we had a great stay only because the location is great and amount of people it holds is fantastic. But I wouldn’t stay there again.

It was good, for the price.
Like a lot of the other reviews have stated, it is very dated. The downstairs room (game room and bedroom) has a very musky smell. My mom stayed down there and sprayed some air freshener periodically and it was fine afterwards. Some boards were loose on the stairs leading up to the deck and with us having young kids, it made us very nervous. The upstairs half bath has almost no water pressure in the shower while using the hot water, cool water ran fine. The AC in the single Queen Bedroom does not cool the room off much at all during the day, but it wasn’t a huge deal since we didn’t spend much time at the house during the day. The house overall was clean and as described on the website. Kitchen was a bit outdated, but that didn’t bother us. Our entire group throughly enjoyed our trip and the house. It needs a few small updates and repairs, but it was a nice house for the price and we loved our trip. Even without updates, we would still come and stay again!

Beach life!
We had a great stay at this beach house in Jamaica Beach. The owner was very responsive, we had an issue with the electricity and he got on it right away. The issue was from the electric company, they came within hours and fixed it. Donald got us a new microwave right away because the one there burned out when the electricity went away. The house is comfortable and it serves its purpose. The kitchen is small but is adequate to cook while you are there. My daughter amd son in law stayed in the downstairs room and they had no issues at all. Theres a bar across the street but it wasn't an issue. The firehouse is also across the street and you hear the sirens go off at any time but it didn't bother us, it wasn't all the time, maybe once or twice a day. The beach was super close, we walked there everyday and it took us 5 minutes. Walking up to the sound of the waves was amazing. I loved having my coffee on the deck while watching the ocean. Overall it was a great stay, I'd love to stay again!

The house is older (I think it was described as retro). I can't comment on how the AC worked since our first REAL COLD FRONT came in the 25th! The kitchen is rather cramped and awkward. There are boards that need to be repaired on the deck -- several of us tripped over a board that has come unnailed. The beds were okay, but we didn't realize that we were right across the street from fire/EMS/police department -- we only heard sirens a couple of times but the biggest problem for me was that there is also a bar across the street -- I could hear the music at night in the room with the 2 queen beds and the blinds did not close well enough to keep light out. Unfortunately, it rained about 4" on Friday the 25th, so the driveway was totally underwater, making it difficult to unload and load vehicles. There were no smells anywhere, so the improvements that were done as the result of a previous comment took care of the problem. There were no mattress pads on the beds in the room with the 2 queens. The mattress pad that was on the bed in the master was filthy. Of course, we didn't discover this until we were preparing to leave. The bunk bed is rickety -- I wouldn't put an adult in either one -- it moves when someone is getting into the top bunk and when the occupant is moving while sleeping. The shower floor in the biggest bathroom is apparently painted -- it is very slick when soapy -- be careful of falling. The water faucets in the small shower are apparently backwards (I did not use this shower, but family members told me they are set up backwards, so to get hot water, you have to turn on the "cold" faucet). It's a beachhouse -- an older one -- not the fanciest but serviceable. We had a family reunion and it was all about visiting together, so we were all happy.

Fabulous place to stay...
This a really cool house. I was a little worried about the place after reading some of the reviews. I thought the place was great! The downstairs was good, no smell. You could tell that he did just get through remodeling. There was sheets and extra blankets. We will be back at this Retro house ....also location was excellent - close enough to go to Galveston and Houston but far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle of Galveston!

We based our rental on past review complaints where the owner said he had immediately corrected the problems. That was false. Blinds still need replaced; the condo was dirty, the downstairs bedroom sheets were blood stained, mold on the walls, and really not even appropriate for sleeping. The upstairs Master shower looked like it was from 1965 and had not been updated in years, and you certainly wanted to wear your shoes in the upstairs bathrooms. The ac filter was filthy, and even after we personally changed it the air conditioner does not keep up. It was extrememly hot all day, cooled down sometime in the middle of the night, and resumed the heat the next day. This made it impossible to cook and enjoy a meal. There is mold everywhere. Above the ac trunk run in the Master, all over the downstairs. It appears that after Hurricane Harvey no repairs were made. The location is great, but the house needs some real work. The owner was responsive, and did throw out a sentence that made me aware the house may have problems. His comment was "I have not been there for awhile"...…. This house has not been updated or cared for in years. No updates, no repairs, every comment on prior reviews has not been handled as suggested by owner.
