My family and I have stayed here several times and absolutely LOVE it! Very clean, always well equipped, plenty of beds for our 4 kids so no one has to share and Trisha is lovely communicate with. Highly recommend!
Experienced a lovely stay at “A wave Away!” The house was very clean and organized. Tastefully decorated and the owner provided everything and more that me and my family needed for our Galveston beach stay. I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking to visit the Galveston area.

Great communication...beautiful house with lots of little details. Very comfortable stay for our family!
Such a great rental! Tisha's place is super cute, well thought out, and equipped with everything you could need or want for a beach vacay! Super close to everything and most importantly for us, the beach! We'll definitely be booking again! Don't think, just book it!
Our family was in for a family wedding and this was the perfect home for our stay! It was like Tisha had thought through every need we might have had and had it waiting. Beautiful home, clean and comfortable…perfect stay!
This house was amazing! The host was friendly and easy to work with, the property is right where we love to be and the fact all 4 of my kiddos had their own bed was awesome! Will definitely be back!

Staying at "A Wave Away" was a fantastic experience. Our kids declared that if we go back to Galveston this is the only place to stay ( we have gone three times in the last 8 years). We even had inclement weather and our host made sure that we were where is safe while we were out on the Seawall. We'll definitely use this location again when we go back.
The Location is great, easy to get to all the attractions of the island and walking distance to the beach. The house and property is large enough to accommodate 6- 8 adults The interior is beautiful, and the beds are FANTASTIC ! A great time was had by all!
We had an amazing time on our girls getaway! The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beach chairs, canopy & cooler! Thank you for an amazing experience!
We enjoyed our stay very much. House was wonderful. loved decor & all the extra little touches. The only thing is...didn't realize we had to pay to use the community pool. Wish we'd know ahead of time.
This was my 1st time ever booking a trip! I was really hesitant at 1st but the host answered all my questions and she was fabulous! The place was so cute! Next time we book here, we are planning to bring our golf cart. My sister in law booked on the beach however, I actually thought this place was much nicer!
This property was absolutely adorable and in the perfect location. It has everything you need for the beach and to keep the kiddos entertained, so no need to pack a bunch of extra stuff. It's a very peaceful neighborhood and clean. The house is equipped with everything you need to cook meals and is very spacious. My only complaint is the shower in the master bath has zero pressure, so we had to use the other shower. Everything else was perfect.
We came to Jamaica Beach to get away for a while and not be so close to Galveston. A Wave Away provided everything we needed from beach towels, wagons, outdoor games, chairs, and even a cool canopy! The host thought of every nuance to make the stay enjoyable… so enjoyable we decided to stay an extra day! The host accommodated us and was great with communication. Thank you, and we will be back!
We stayed here to celebrate Christmas, six adults and two babies. The house is charming with a kitchen equipped with beautiful dishes, high end pots and pans, crock pot, Ninja toaster oven, Kureg duo, things you don’t normally find in a short term rental. And oh the linens, also high end, plush towels, sheets, bed covers. Again such a nice surprise for a rental. The decor is charming and clearly very well thought out. We had to use both AC and heat as it was in the 80’s until it wasn’t and all of a sudden it was in the 40’s. The house stayed very comfortable. The house is just a short walk to the beach, but we did rent a golf cart that was delivered to the house and really enjoyed riding around the subdivision and on the beach. The house is equipped with virtually everything you need for outdoors as well. Beach canopy, chairs, toys, ice chests, etc. there were outdoor games like corn hole. There was a propane grill as well. And the hosts was so sweet and responsive, although I did not have to contact her at all during our stay as we encountered zero issues. We would definitely book again.
Loved our stay! I have so many good things to say! The host was amazing & so easy to work with. The house was very clean & the beds were comfy! Kitchen fully stocked & not to mention every item you need for a beach day! It made beaching with two toddlers as easy as you can make it LOL
We will be back!
We absolutely loved staying at A Wave Away. It is an extremely well appointed house. Plenty of places for everyone to sleep comfortably. Beautiful kitchen with everything you need. So close to the beach! Easy to find, check in, and check out. Loved all the beach supplies in the garage. Tisha is a dream to work with. It was all just so wonderful. Thank you!!
I wanted to get all four of my grown kids/spouses and a new grand baby together to enjoy the end of our summer. It was perfect! Everyone had plenty of space, the kitchen was well equipped, perfect beach supplies (wagon chairs canopy and toys!) and plenty of fresh towels. The grill worked great too! We would definitely stay again! Short drive to beach. Quick drive to area pool! ($5 ea was reasonable)
Highly recommend for a relaxing family getaway.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The owners put a lot of thought into this home making it a home away from home. The house has just about anything you could think of. Everything was of great quality regardless of it being a rental. This house is very well decorated and cozy. The property is in walking distance of the beach. And last but not least, Trish was very communicative with details of the upcoming trip. We were all in awe and will definitely be back. Thank you Trish for a delightful mini vacation!
We stay at “A wave away” house two years in a row and it has been awesome both time. The host is great and the house has everything you need for a day on the beach. The beds are very comfortable and we had 9 people and we never ran out of hot water for showers. The house is located close enough to the beach it’s an easy walk to the surf!! My grandbabies loving staying there, before we leave they have to tell the house bye bye we see you next summer. lol.
We stayed over Thanksgiving week and easily checked in- our host thoughtfully proved snacks, a note, and a fresh flower arrangement for our holiday weekend! The kitchen had everything one could need, enough coffee for our stay, and a combination koreg and drip coffeemaker.
Bedrooms were roomy with a nice towel and washcloth stack for each guest. The bunk bed room was a hit with the teenagers with their private deck access.
A plethora of games and puzzles were provided and used!
A very short walk to beach, a good convenience store with to-go cafe options… we had everything needed.
I would stay here again and again!!!!
If you can find a vacancy at this remarkable property, take it! We stayed an entire week and didn’t want to leave. Guests included Mimi and Bob-Bob, our daughter and son-in-law and three grandchildren ages 5, 8 and 11 and our son and daughter-in-law that flew in from San Francisco. The amenities offered were too many to list. The third day of our stay a tropical storm showed its power. We had fun playing the games provided and Tisha kept us updated with info on the storm. We even went to town and saw a movie at the combo theater/bowling alley. I can’t say enough about the great property and wonderful host. We will definitely be back!
Highly appreciated how well the ac worked. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, short walk to beach, had tons of amenities, ample parking for 5 cars, filled propane tanks to bbq, close to stores and coffee shop. Great communication with host, super easy check in. 10 out of 10. if they were any cons and im just nit picking, didnt have hdmi cable for nintendo system, and top bunkbed mattress was higher than railing, we didnt have anyone sleeping on there. Home away from home, could go on and on about how fabulous it was. Oh and my 13 yo son chose this beach because of the beautiful decor and i love how well the description of the place was written! with all that i didnt find any dust on them.will definitely stay again.
My family really enjoyed our stay! The property was in great condition, very clean, and had more amenities and conveniences than expected. The reviews are all accurate - this is an extremely well run property. The owner was very responsive and accessing the property was a breeze.
Being so close to the beach was awesome and I was impressed to see the owner provided all the beach gear we could’ve needed ( beach toys, chairs, coolers, wagon, yard games, boogie board). There were 4 adults and 2 kids in our group. Everyone had more than enough room, beds/linens were all comfortable, A/C worked very well, great showers, etc. In addition to taking advantage of the fully equipped kitchen, we all loved having Way West Grill & Pizzeria close by for dinner!
This iss the best experience I’ve had with a rental. We will definitely be staying here when we come back for our next Galveston visit. Thank you!!
Oh I have so much to say! Fabulous comes to mind. The owners were awesome. They met us there and we were able to pay them to unload all of our stuff upstairs for us. I had asked about a crock pot and Tisha supplied a brand new one for me! They have paid so much attention to every detail in the house. I am a chef so I was extra noticing of the little flamingos on the silver and the flamingo on the china and the cups match the color motif of the house. Very nice towels and super comfortable and beautiful beds and pillows. Although we brought everything we needed they did provide a ton of beach items to be used. Fun games, wagon, coolers, towels, chairs. Super nice washer and dryer! All the kitchen and bathroom necessities were provided as well. We had a huge storm roll through and the owners were texting me letting me know safety procedures just in case. The owners and the home were truly amazing.
