Lovely southern style waterfront home located in a cove/lagoon in Jamaica Beach, Galveston that is a few houses from the bay with an excellent view. Large 3,394 sq ft home with one master suite, and three additional master bedrooms. There are 6 bathrooms total on the main floor. An elevator and a handicap accessible bathroom have been installed to make everyone comfortable and welcome. There is an expansive covered porch and decking on the main floor with rocking chairs, a swing, and additional seating on the uncovered portion. The master suite has sliding doors that open to the porch and face the water. The sleeping situation is as follows:
Master Suite - Bedroom #1: King size bed, sleeps 2 officially.
Master Bedroom #2: Two Queen sized beds (this is also the bedroom with the handicap accessible bathroom). Sleeps 4.
Master Bedroom #3: King Sized bed. Sleeps 2.
Master Bedroom #4: Two twin beds.
The large master bedroom has two bathrooms both with showers, and a separate seating area.
Enjoy your morning coffee rocking on the porch right outside any of the bedrooms. The back deck off of the living area that is uncovered faces the East so it is shaded from the late afternoon sun. There is also a bathroom downstairs in the lower level of the house and an outdoor shower. There is a full size washer/dryer set downstairs and a stack-able washer/dryer on the main floor. There is a refrigerator/freezer upstairs and downstairs, as well as a separate chest freezer downstairs for bait or other things.
The double lot has a brand new large rectangular shaped pool with a table for seating and a tanning ledge. (In the photos you will see a hot tub, but it is not a part of the listing. If it happens to be working while you are there, we will turn it on, but it is usually not working. If you chose to rent our house, don't do it for the hot tub.) Please do not allow food in the pool or glass anywhere near it. Glass is very damaging to a pool and cause us to have to drain it.
There is grass on both sides for pets to use. There are several different games in the closet downstairs, a ping-pong table, and a foosball table. There also inflatable toys and toys for playing in sand for the younger children.
There are several life jackets of different sizes available to use with the 10 ft kayak and the paddle board. There is also a "Rave" inflatable water bouncer that is like having a floating trampoline in the water. In addition, there is a large floating pad for people to hang out on in the water.
You can bring your boat and dock it in the large covered boat slip with lifts for an extra fee of $25/day. Just let us know at least 3 weeks in advance so we can get our boat out of the boat house. I will also need to get a vehicle permit for you to use the Jamaica Beach marina area. They are $10/day and the owner has to turn in the information to Jamaica Beach to get the permit.
There is a gas grill outside and it is located very close to the boat dock and the fish cleaning station. There is also an outdoor burner with a large pot for crab boils. If you use the outdoor burner for a crab or shrimp boil, please do so on the concrete or in the grass, not on the wood decking. There is a crab trap to use which so far has caught blue crabs and stone crabs.
Enjoy having plenty of room to fish from the bulkhead in the back yard as well. Fishing poles are not provided.
The lower level of the house has room for multiple people to gather with its picnic tables and built in bar area. The kitchen comes well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/cutlery, a Keurig coffee machine as well as a normal coffee maker, and a Ninja blender for making frozen drinks.
Driveway is large enough to hold many cars, at least 10 if needed. There is no covered parking as the underneath part of the house is used for socializing and storage of the toys.
There are security cameras outside so that we can monitor the driveway, boat house and pool area. If you are in the downstairs boat house area, the driveway or the pool area; you will be in view of the cameras. VRBO allows use of security cameras outside, so please do not unplug them. Also, don't unplug the control boxes in the house. We need those to operate the pool equipment and for the outdoor security cameras.
