Nice location for summer getaway. Easy access to beach, convenience store and grocery store. The house was well equipped with anything you need. We enjoyed fishing and crabbing in the underneath.

House is old and musty, but it was clean and had plenty of room. I needed a house with a fenced in yard as I was bringing my dogs. The yard is fenced, however not completely if you have small dogs. There is no grass except for a very small patch in the front of the house, which is not fenced in. It was very inconvenient to have to put our dogs on leashes and take them out front to potty, especially in the middle of the night. This home is not dog friendly as advertised.

The inside of house was clean but beds were very uncomfortable!! And no extra blankets!! But other than that lots of room!

Loved the house. all the plants around the house made it feel tropical. Lots of seating in different areas so never bored sitting in the same place the whole time... especially important since shelter in place started the day after arrival. It was so quiet and neighbors on both sides very friendly. Only a couple of problems...one recliner was broken and the bed wasn't that comfortable....could use a new mattress. But overall it was great...would definitely stay again. Really loved it!!!

Run down old smelly house. Broken star rail, dangerous,No hot water or washer dryer 2 of the 4 days. Mold everywhere. Tried to get moved but Ryson did not care after prob phone calls among other issues! Waste of my money !!!!!

Hi , my stay here was great the view was very nice. It is a very quiet and clean neighborhood everbody is friendly. The office people are very nice and they answer every question you have.

Great experience at the Bent Rod, property was just as advertised, great location within close access to stores and pizza!! Family and friends had a great Labor Day weekend!!

Would have given five starts but the decking on the dock and porches had allot of loose screws sticking up and in several places there was fear of fallin threw other than that great place to stay

The property was a great place for our family, we all had a great time and we will be back next spring.

We learned how to crab, fish, and kayak! We ate the crab we caught and it was delicious! There’s so much seating space! No one was on top of each other! Fantastic family fun!

Rental offers a very relaxing atmosphere. Of course there were furnishings that need updating, but overall the place invokes a sense of relaxation and contentment! Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals and enjoy family time. Grandsons caught croaker, catfish and crabs while we watched and cooked on the grill. If you want perfection, this rental is not for you but you will really miss out on a great time! Comfortable with the necessities was just what our family needed this stay. We would most definitely stay again!

Our family loved fishing from the canal. Plenty of space to sleep and play

The owner was very nice. He called to make sure the water was not flooding the property. Place needs new mattresses. The kitchen was spacious and met our needs. Nice for outside entertaining.

We all loved this home in Jamaica Beach. This home was very sturdy, and wont sway in the wind like a lot of pier homes. The floorplan was perfect, the kitchen was nice and big. We love all the different options for sitting areas outside. The neighbors were friendly and quiet. The beds were comfy, and so was the living room furniture. The TV in the living was pretty big, and the wifi speeds were great. We loved the fishing opportunities the dock provided, we caught sting ray, croakers and catfish. We would stay here again and recomend it to anyone.

Exterior: Paint the exterior! Would also love to see the decks painted and fixed up more. There was too much loose wood. Also, hithe 1st floor was too cluttered and there was no light to enjoy the seating area. It was entirely too dark, which caused a bunch of issues especially when you are getting back and have to carry bags AND a baby up to the 2nd floor. Also, the screen door needs to have a separate lock (NOT a combination lock). Trees need to be trimmed so that patrons can actually enjoy outside. Interior: update bathrooms...remove outdated wallpaper and shower curtain liners must be replaced or cleaned more thoroughly. Update curtains in the bedrooms, have a TV for every room. Find a way to stop large bugs from entering home at night. (These would crawl from the wall, but only at night!) Kitchen and dining room were nice and clean, as well as spacious. Rooms were also nice sizes w plenty of closet space. Overall, I would not rent the Bent Rod Canal home again mainly due to the lack of porch lights, the upstairs decks, and the insects in the house. If Ryson fixed (attempted to remedy)these issues, then my family would give them another shot!

My family and I stayed at the ‘Bent Rod’ house for 3 nights to relax and do some bay fishing. The home itself was a bit older, but overall it was ‘as advertised’ as the pictures show the age. A few things I’d like to point out, as it would’ve changed my mind on booking this house, as I was there specifically to fish each day. First of all - The description mentions “a floating dock, which you can tie off at once you launch your boat at the marina”. In theory this sounds okay, in reality, not so much. During high tide, the dock is completely under water, so you can’t tie your boat off as your boat would float into the dock – scratching the boat. Further, there were screws sticking out from the dock, so even if tides were low, you wouldn’t want to tie a boat to it. At low tide, the dock was only an inch or 2 over the water line, still preventing you from tying off. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have stayed here. The mosquitos! The ground level of this property is covered with palm trees, bushes, etc. It felt like a greenhouse, and is not manicured. This is a prime breeding ground for mosquitos… and yes, they can fly up to the upstairs decks! There is a gas grill on the property. If you use the last of the propane, it’s your responsibility (in the middle of grilling) to go to the corner gas station and pay $35 to get the tank refilled… if you rent this property, best of luck to you with getting a tank with enough propane! At the end of the day, would I stay here again? NO! There are better places in Jamaica Beach, for less money. If you do stay here – leave the boat at home, bring mosquito repellant, and you may want to bring a propane tank too! To end on a positive note – I will say that when I brought up my issues & concerns to Ryson (the property management), they were helpful and did what they could to make things right. With the said issues, the owner was asked give an ‘after the fact’ discount – particularly for the dock issue that’s misleading in the description, but the owner was not willing to give anything back.
