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), but not too far away from most of the island attractions (10 miles from 61st Street). Jamaica Beach also has its own community pool and private marina and boat ramp, Regatta Basin, a community pavilion, and a 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.

Stayed for a week. House has potential with the amenities offered if they can fix all the issues. Door locks gave problems. Bedrooms they say have tv’s don’t, pool tv doesn’t work, internet never works or when they finally did come out and look at it it went in and out, in-law suit always has a smell. Maintenance & Ryson say they are fixing the problem or will have some one out but they never show up or follow through with what they said. A lot of stuff at the house is older and showing a lot of wear and use.

The location of the home was excellent and the accommodations were very spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed the pool! Unfortunately, the listing said pet friendly when we booked it, but then we learned dogs weren’t allowed. We didn’t appreciate the false advertising. Also, we were told to bring a lot of items (beach towels, for example) that were actually supplied. It would’ve been nice to know specifically what we needed. Overall, it was a beautiful vacation. We enjoyed Livin’ the Dream!!

The house is wonderful with lots to do on the channels with paddle boards and kayaks. The pool and hot tub are nice as well as the downstairs indoor/outdoor area. We had tiny issues (running toilet, decor falling off walls, bugs) that we wished management had taken care of, but no significant complaints.

The property was exactly as described in photos and videos. We had plenty of space for two families with 7 teenagers. Lots of amenities. The hot tub was awesome and the kayaks were so fun!! Wished we would have had another week at Livin' the Dream!!

Great property with updated appliances, aesthetics. Bring a space heater for the upstairs outside room, as the control is located in the house and it took us several days to find the “sweet spot.” Otherwise perfect VRBO!! Great family stay!!
