JAMAICA BEACH
Jamaica Beach Texas is one of the most popular beaches and sought-after neighborhoods when it comes to vacation rentals – what it lacks in size, it makes up for action during the summer months, holidays and event weekends! Jamaica Beach is far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle of Seawall (8 miles), and but not too far away from most of the island attractions (10 miles from 61st Street). Jamaica Beach also has it’s own community pool and private marina and boat ramp, Regatta Basin, a community pavilion and playground.

GULF COAST CONCIERGE
Ryson partners exclusively with Gulf Coast Concierge to make your time on the island unforgettable! Gulf Coast Concierge understands it's the little things that count. Create your own adventures with beach gear and golf cart rentals, a sunset cruise or a bonfire and smores on the beach. Gulf Coast Concierge also offers fishing charters, photo sessions, and a variety of in-home services. If you can dream it, we will do our best to make it happen!

The overall stay was good at the house. The location was great and it was nice being able to fish and paddle board right outside the back. It was also nice being able to dock the boat there. The kitchen had everything we needed. The downstairs room had a musty/moldy smell and found several spiders. The main AC did not cool down the main house. The bedrooms were very warm and stayed at about 80 degrees during the day.

The stay was wonderful, the place was immaculate, my only concern was since it had rain a lot the only way in and out looked flooded. I\'m glad it was not that deep,but the good thing that one day before we left, somehow streets clear and they weren\'t flooded anymore.

I was attracted to this particular listing because it said "Boat slip\"" in the title of the ad and we were planning to bring our boat. Unfortunately
