The view alone is priceless. This was an incredible house in an amazing location. Everything about our stay was excellent. The sound of the waves outside on the terrific deck was the most soothing sound that I have heard in a long time.

This house is SPECTACULAR! I have rented many beach houses and this is by far our favorite. It VERY comfortably fit 8 people (could do more), with a large open dining/living area. The large deck on the top was incredible to sit on and enjoy being right on the beach! Also it is very dog friendly, and the patio upstairs is closed in so the dogs could enjoy being outside, yet contained. The hot tub was a MUST since it was a little chilly, and such a nice touch with the fire pit. The house came stocked with so many cooking utensils, towels, shampoo/conditoner, ect. I was very impressed. The stairs to get into the home were also indoors, which was great because it rained and we were able to come and go from the downstairs without any issues. The management was VERY responsive, and very kind. I cannot WAIT to rent this place again!!!

This house was amazing! We frequently visit Jamaica Beach, but this was our first time staying at this home. It won’t be our last! This was a wonderful, clean property. It was well stocked, the owners seem to have thought of everything you might need for a visit here. The view was amazing, the hot tub was a great to relax in at night, the view was amazing! Very quiet property, which is important when you have a little one in bed early. This property was great and we will be staying here again!
