About this house rental

3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 6

"Turtle Nest", is a great place for a quick family getaway, vacation, or just a place for family and friends to have fun. "Turtle Nest," is six years old, and is a canal home. This house is a family oriented house, not a party house. The home is beautifully furnished with all the amenities included. You can use the kayaks/paddle board in the canal (provided), and head to the bay, or fish in canal. For your pleasure we currently provide kayaks with different size life vests, 14 foot canoe, bicycles (some helmets), stand-up board, and have several games for family fun.

Jamaica Beach is a safe community where families can ride their bikes on protected side streets, launch your boat at the neighborhood boat dock, or walk the kids to the playground (newly built), and community pool, (5.00 per person per day). From our house you are only 1/2 mile from the beach. Jamaica Beach has its own Police Department and volunteer Fire Department that provide service 24 hours a day.

"Turtle Nest", has everything for the family to relax and forget about the hectic city life. We have a full entertaining area with beautiful bar and grill, outside stereo, where family and friends can share special moments. Pets under 25lbs are allowed. Exceptions can be made by the owner regarding your pet. There is an additional fee for your pet. No more than two pets, 150.00 for one or two pets. You must be at least 25 years of age to rent. Cashier checks and money orders will not be accepted because of scams. Golf cart is available to rent with agreement upon request, can be driven to the beach, or around the neighborhood, and price is listed below. Payment for golf cart will be paid with cash and/or venmo upon arrival. No unlicensed drivers and no driving at night. Two nights 200.00, Three 275.00, Four 300.00., just pay when you arrive.

We only allow up to six guest to stay overnight. Please do not try and sneak additional people in overnight. If you violate the six guest rule for overnight stay, you will be asked to leave, and you will not be refunded any money. I take pride in my house and want the very best accommodations for our guest. We allow no more than ten guest to socialize with you at our property during the day. The driveway can hold no more than four cars and the street is to narrow to park on.

I want to make it very clear that if at any time the police are called out because of fighting, drunkenness, or other behavior that is not appropriate, you will be escorted off the property. I have neighbors that make Jamaica Beach their permanent residence, and I do not want them subjected to guest that are unruly. We do have exterior cameras on our property. This is to provide additional protection for our guest as well as to protect our property.

I highly recommend that you purchase traveler insurance during the Hurricane season which runs from the end of August through November.

If you are looking at staying at least thirty days during the months from November through February, please contact the owner for pricing.

We pride ourselves on cleanness and provide our guest with the safest environment possible.

We stayed 5 nights, the home is beautiful, spotless clean, well stocked, we had the worst luck with the weather since it was raining most of time, even then the fishing was great if you walk to the main canal lots of sand trout and caught some black drum. Very lovely place!! Definitely recommend you to stay here!!

We enjoyed the peace and quite on the canal. Nice bikes for the 4 of us to ride around the neighborhood. We want to come back and try the kayaks. The water was too low at that time. Easy to get to the beach as well.

What a lovely property! It is beautifully, and tastefully decorated and provisioned inside and out. The owner didn't spare any detail. We found Band-Aids, toothpaste, floss, etc in the master bathroom. The garage was stocked with all sorts of useful things, life vests of all sizes, beach chairs, umbrellas, floaties, sand toys, bikes... you name it. We loved the Kayaks and canoe, we kayaked every morning, and one of the evenings. Mid day was still too hot. The Ocean water was warmer than most heated pools :) on this trip. Big beach's 3 min away, and the kids loved jumping in the waves. We enjoyed the outdoor shower, so convenient. Everyone washes before they head upstairs and drag sand onto the upper deck and into the room. Overall, we had a great time. Just about a perfect weekend getaway. Lei

We had a great time at this property and had everything we needed. The house is very well equipped and missing nothing you could want. The fun zone is fully equipped to with kayaks, floats, chairs, bikes and the golf cart. If you are looking for a simple, fun, and comfortable get away, this is the place for you. We did it all from this location and even kept 4 teenagers completely entertained!

It was nice, good location, it had all the utensils we needed. However, the dryer was broke and the fish light was not working which took away from it’s overall appeal.

The home is very cute. We enjoyed our stay but a big reason we took a canal home was so that my husband and son could fish outside all night. Turns out the underwater light was broken and the owner said she could not fix it, she would take it off her listing, but it is still on there. The listing says there is a washer and dryer, the dryer does not work. I texted the owner and she said she would look at it after we leave, there is a laundrymat nearby. I was very disappointed with both responses. The countertop ice maker- broken, and my son went to ride a bike- flat tires. I didnt even reach out about the second two items because I dont think anything would have changed. My husband truly felt that he deserved some compensation for not being able to fish. And I truly believe that dryer has been broken, the control panel is malfunctioning, if you get it to turn on it will beep nonstop and you will have much difficulty turning it off. It is a shame, because it is a super cute place, but we were a bit disappointed.

This was the absolute most clean property we have ever stayed in and we’ve rented plenty of times before. The owner was very accommodating and the neighbors were as well. The house had everything from cooking utensils, spices, games, outdoor equipment and a cleaned grill!! There was even a fishing spot right around the corner within a one minute walk that was great. We will definitely be staying here again!!!!

With the freezing temps over Christmas, my whole family couldn’t get together. So, we needed a last minute New Years getaway and this property was a perfect fit. Beautifully decorated, in a quiet neighborhood, and with an expansive view, the house was exactly what my family needed. Between yoga by the water and hiking at Galveston Island State Park, I was in outdoorsy heaven. But, I could also keep my teen daughters happy with shopping on the Strand and everyone was delighted with all the delicious eateries. We will definitely be back!

This house is in a fantastic location, especially for fishing and kayaking. We absolutely loved having access to the kayaks and canoe and the kids had endless fun. I loved the cooking area downstairs as well. Everything is exactly as described and this was a very easy, no hassle transition. Terry was very friendly from the jump and we really appreciate him opening his house to us. Definitely will be looking to stay here again! **My sons hauled in 2 oyster toadfish, 1, 15in seatrout, and a 23in drum in the canal here**

Lovely Stay at Turtle Nest!

We had a delightful stay at Turtle Nest! The house was wonderful and had everything we needed for a lovely long weekend getaway at Jamaica Beach. It was fantastic having so many activities and amenities right at our disposal - from paddling around the bay in the canoe, to grilling dinner in the outdoor kitchen - we enjoyed it all. Everything we needed was provided. And the location is excellent - just minutes to the ocean. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved it! My husband, myself and our 3 kiddos. Ages 4,7,9. We had so much fun fishing and kayaking. The house really had so much more than I expected so I totally over packed. Me and my 9 year old road the beach cruiser bikes around the neighborhood and on the beach. It really was a great time and we look forward to next time!!! Thanks so much!!!

Everything it claims to be!

Everything it claims to be!

We had such a relaxing time at this property! There are so many amenities making settling in a breeze! All the little and important things were there so you don't find yourself running out for toilet paper right away or buying a blender (like at my last rental). Terry was amazing and met us upon check in. It was nice being shown around and having things pointed out that were helpful. When we had a little hick up with an appliance or any concern at all, he was able to answer or come to assist quickly. The kayaks, canoe and paddle board are a super feature letting you truly take advantage of the canal and all it has to offer. We opted to rent the golf cart as well. Although it doesn't have much "get up and go"... it is helpful for cruising around and getting small trips done without hauling out the big cars. (And it's just fun.) The dog run was great for our dog and it was nice having dog friendly neighbors. Overall we could not have been happier and would not hesitate to rent this location again!

We rented for a week to escape the snow in Michigan. The home was very clean and tastefully decorated. It was Mardi Gras week and there was even some Mardi Gras decor! The kitchen is well stocked. The weather was cooler, so we didn't get to enjoy the water toys. Owners were very responsive on a few questions/issues we had during the week. Would definitely recommend staying here.
