Great place to stay for our guys trip to Galveston. Plenty of outdoor seating and deck space. Enjoyed the fishing and just sitting on deck relaxing with a cold drink. Beds were comfortable and everything was provided. Our group will definitely be back again for a longer stay.

It was a great property! Little pool for the kids to play in, nice deck for us to talk hangout and fish, cool little game room and a fully fenced in yard so my dog could play and roam and I didn’t have to worry about him getting out. And we were right across the street from the beach where we parked in the sand and set up our spot just steps away. Everything was fantastic and we had a blast.

10/10 loved this bayfront home

The ultimate chill spot in Jamaica Beach!! The deck area here is awesome—sprawls out over the water like it’s beggin’ you to lounge, grill, or fish while you wait for dinner or whatever, lol! I love the outdoors so that was the highlight for me with the fire pit and all. Bunk room downstairs was nice for some separation too!

the crab shack was cute

we had a short stay here, but our time was well spent. the fact that this house is on the bay/water and has a cowboy pool was awesome. the spiral staircase off the living room is adorable. the deck has plenty of seating to relax outside and just look at the water. clean and easy to get in to. thanks again

Perfect stay in Jamaica beach

Spotless, well-equipped with everything needed for a cozy getaway. Near the beach & RV park, something for everyone. Our favorite part was the covered area below on the canal plus having small pool for staying cool! We WILL be back!

Crab Shack home is a great place to stay

I spent weekend at the Crab Shack home, and it was just as described. Home was clean, kitchen was well-stocked. Communication with the host was easy and she graciously answered any questions or concerns. The location was perfect. My teenagers enjoyed fishing off the back boat deck. We were blessed with great weather and able to enjoy the spacious deck (no mosquitos during our stay). I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a great place to stay at Jamaica Beach. I will definitely book again.

Easy check-in process. Property was clean, well kept, and equiped with essentials. Cowboy pool was small, but refreshing. Good access to wifi and streaming services. Fishing area on back deck. The only issue was the ladder/stairs to get to the 3rd floor bedrooms was a little difficult to navigate. Wouldn't recommend for people with mobility issues. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
