Jamaica Beach Stay
Great property located a stone’s throw from the beach. This place was perfect for us. We spent most of the time on the beach. It was great to be able to walk back and forth with the little ones for nap times. The deck was awesome to enjoy both early morning and in the evening. Great communication with the host. We would book here again.

Water Damage
Firstly, the location of the house is spot on. walking distance to the beach and quick drive to the store. Couldnt ask for a better location. The kids loved the bunk beds upstairs. The main issue I had was that the floors were damaged at some point by water as they were peeling up in the kitchen and living room. This caused my older parents to trip a few times and letting the toddlers walk around the house was stressful because of the sharp flooring. Water damage on the walls aswell from the skylight it seems. I felt this should have been relayed to us beforehand. Also, the wifi did not work for the 3 days we were there which made getting the kids to settle down before bed a struggle. Someone should have checked that the wifi was working before we checked in. Other than that, the house was awesome and a great location. But for the amount of money we spent to rent it, the floors is just unacceptable for me.

Unfortunate Experience, with no happy resolution except we did finally get a/c
Dirty dishes in the sink when we arrived, & flooring was coming up although an attempt had been made to reattach it with painters tape. The a/c went out the first day, so we had (very nice) maintenance folks there working on it until we finally got some relief halfway into our 4-night stay - until then it was 92 degrees inside (we had our 80-yr-old mothers with us). When I called about a refund for part of the trip, nobody ever got back to me. Rent at your own risk!

Great location, house needs TLC
The location and the outdoor patio is the biggest pro. The house has wood flooring that are broken and coming up, sealed with peeling blue painters tape. There are cracks in the walls and dirty skylights. There is no storage for food or places to hang wet towels in the bathroom. The beach is easily accessible and a short walk.

Perfect house and perfect getaway.
We were a small group that came in for a couple of days and picked the perfect house. Loved that there was 3 bedrooms on the first floor for my elderly mom and her friend so that they only had to tackle one set of stairs. The bedrooms were spacious with big comfy beds. We didn't think the upstairs would feel spacious but plenty of room for us. Walk to the beach was perfect.

Overpriced Moldy Dome
The ceiling was collapsing and 1/2 of our family (all of the 5 kids) could not stay up there due to the moldy cracked ceiling. My children literally had to sleep in our beds. Ruined the whole vacation. We better be getting money back

Loved our weekend getaway! House was great and so close to the beach. We rented a golfcart and it made the trip even more awesome! There is a convenient store, little restaurant, liquor store and margarita to go place all within golf cart distance. We loved corn hole on the deck and there was plenty of seating for all of us. I think the only negative was no rinse off shower downstairs. It would have been so helpful with all our sandy kids.

Nice unique looking house with small cosmetic update needs. Close to beach. Don’t forget anything important behind like us because you won’t hear back about it from owner. June weather has the water feeling great. Beach was clean and not too crowded. Had some jellyfish and baby sharks in the area. Enjoyed parking on the beach!

Great location to beach
We enjoyed our stay - close to beach . Interesting shaped home but it worked for our purposes. Do wish they had a little table inside to sit at for card games and meals. They do have an outside table but there is no shade and it is always windy. House was in good shape and there were nice big beds in all three downstairs bedrooms. Just a quick recommendation- the palm tree by the stairway could use a trim - hard to get up the stairway without being tickled by them and hard to see the beach when sitting in the great deck chairs in the shade. Thanks for responding to our every question .

Great location; great beach house
We stayed mid-week in February at this property on Jamaica Beach. The house was as advertised: really close to the beach and the beds were good. The view from the deck was really great and the wood deck chairs really comfortable. The kitchen was really well supplied with cooking equipment. Suggestion for the owners: Put up some hooks and/or shelves in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Overall, this is a great beach house that sleeps a lot of people at a reasonable price.
