You can't beat the view, the photos don't do the view justice. It was a perfect home for my mom's birthday, where we spent time with family. There were a few kinks but the host was very responsive and helpful. For example, the porch lights weren't working, and 30 minutes after I called them about the issue, someone came to fix it! The washer worked fine but the dryer wasn't drying the clothes. Overall, the home was a fun getaway and the hosts were very quick to respond and accommodating. They even allowed us to have a Mariachi play for my Mom!!!!!!!!
Casandra G - Posted: 9/24/2024

The house itself was great, with a great setup for traveling with kids. All 6 kids slept by themselves in the bunk beds which was awesome for them (and the parents). Everything was very clean, specially considering it’s a beach house. We had zero complaints. The location is right on the beach which made getting on and off the beach super convenient. The hosts were responsive and everything went according to plan. It would be great if you could check in sooner or check out later, but it was not unreasonable. We’d go back there again for sure
Andrei C - Posted: 9/3/2024

The view, beach access, and floor plan of the house w/ 3 full baths are ideal. Unfortunately, our stay was plagued with multiple issues and what should have been our time for relaxation was consumed by calls, text, and maintenance visits in attempts to correct issues. The two main problems were (1) septic water gushing from ground at lower level decking making that area unsafe for our dogs to roam and unaccesible for our guests to use shaded space, and (2) air conditioner only cooling main floor. The upstairs area that slept 10 guests ranged in temps from 87-94 F(even with fans going and 2 portable units added by maintenance) making it very uncomfortable to sleep and utilize upstairs bathroom. The last day a portable unit was added to main floor as a\c could not keep it cool. Saturday evening, we were offered to move to another beachhouse but decided that was too much trouble and lost time with many guests leaving Sunday morning. A refund for one night’s stay was offered and accepted
Melissa L - Posted: 8/20/2024

Melissa's stay was challenging, as she reported several issues that made it appear our home was not up to standard. She mentioned the AC was not working and the upstairs area was 90 degrees. We responded immediately by installing three portable air systems to ensure comfort. Melissa also reported an issue with the septic system, which was not a safety concern. However, after reviewing footage from our Ring Doorbell, we discovered significant over-occupancy, with nine vehicles and around 20 additional guests on the patio who should not have been there. This far exceeded the home’s occupancy limit of four vehicles and a much smaller maximum guest count. The overuse of the property, including frequent door openings, likely contributed to the comfort and system issues, rather than any neglect on our part or by the homeowner. Despite offering to move her to another home for her safety, Melissa declined and demanded a monetary refund. We believe guests should be held accountable for adhering to occupancy limits and respecting our properties. Given this experience, we recommend that Melissa seek accommodation with a different management company in the future, as we take great pride in maintaining our homes and expect our guests to do the same.

We stayed 6 days in this home and it was great. Had plenty of room for all 8 of us and everything we needed to get started. 3 bathrooms, beach towels, boogie boards. It was all great! Literally right on the beach and perfect for the kids to run out and swim. The beach wasn’t crowded at all as it was private. They had a spot upstairs and downstairs to sit outside and enjoy our evenings. We utilized these areas everyday while we were there. The only thing I advise is bringing your own beach chairs and bring bug spray. The bugs were horrible but of course that’s just nature! The house, location and amenities were perfect for our family vacation. Would recommend to bigger families that want some privacy right on the beach.
Kelsi S - Posted: 8/10/2024

Pros: Management company is very responsive and took customer service seriously. We had issues getting into the house because the code was wrong, one of the bed frames was broken and unusable and we had no wifi for a day (which we were compensated for). All of these issues got fixed quickly. Location was beautiful and steps to a very clean and quiet beach. Also loved the outdoor showers to rinse off. The bathrooms and kitchen were well equipped with clean towels and lots of kitchenwares. Cons: the house overall is an old house so it has its issues like loose tiles in the bathroom, warped wood on the stairs, the laminate flooring is curling, the central AC doesn’t work well so there are 2 portable units in the house to help cool the house down. The dryer doesn’t dry clothes/towels well - we had to run the dryer 3x on a regular sized load and it did an ok job. The convenience of being right on the beach was so nice but it was still too expensive in my opinion to be worthwhile.
Nina K - Posted: 8/2/2024

I wish I could give a 3.5 star review. Our stay overall was enjoyable, the location of the house was beautiful, we loved the kitchen and balcony areas especially! That being said, there are some negatives we couldn’t look past... Firstly, the first level of the home was cool while the second floor was very warm and intolerable for my parents (there was only one a/c unit in one bedroom). Fortunately, my parents had brought their own big fans and were able to move that cool air over to their room. Secondly, the first floor shower, had only a hand held shower head that was zip tied to the wall and hanging close to the floor. In order to shower you’d have to hold the shower head the whole time. Lastly, the queen bedroom on the first floor had a broken bed frame. My husband and I could not sleep comfortably as the bed was VERY slanted and I was constantly falling off. I wish I could give a perfect review, the house is truly beautiful and could be worthy of 5 stars with some changes.

location was beautiful, peaceful and host was super responsive. they were very accommodating with my guests on an earlier check in time for my birthday decorations to be put up before my arrival. Vacay time made my birthday weekend very special. thank you all!!
Bonnie M - Posted: 7/19/2024

We enjoyed our stay at Catch a Wave to Paradise. It is a wonderful home very close to the beach! We did have some issues with the A/C, and the management company did an excellent job communicating to us their plan to resolve the issues to the best of their abilities during the tropical storm.
Jill B - Posted: 6/28/2024

This house could be great. One shower was broken. The other showers were installed backward so we took a cold shower before figuring out it was backward.The house only has 2 portable a/c units, one was leaking into the floor. We were uncomfortable with the temp the entire time. Chairs on outside were broken and one broken chair in the kitchen. Host was very responsive and friendly, even allowing us to checkin early but I feel like for what we paid the house should be kept up better or be transparent about the condition of the house.

Day one we had a guy show up (didn't know who he was) saying he was the owner and needed to get inside in order to grab some things from the closet. By day two, we noticed water leaking from the 1st floor ceiling directly underneath the upstairs bathroom. A constant drip which required us to keep a pot and towels on the floor to catch the water. The Airbnb "hosts" are a management company, and they were very responsive and apologetic. Nothing at all wrong with the management company or experience with them. The location can't be beat - literally right on the beach. The place has beautiful views. But for the price paid vs the experience... I've stayed at places just as nice, if not nicer, but without any issues for half the price.

Amazing location literally right on the beach…just a few short, convenient steps away. The house was perfect for families with lots of kids that loved the triple decker bunk bed. Peaceful and quiet location with beach access only for the neighborhood. Beautiful views!

This is true beachfront. The house is very comfortable. Go to the beach or sit on the deck and watch the waves. Very relaxing. Great little grocer about 1/4 mile away. Evett is a great host.

Beautiful ocean views, steps away from the beach. Great place to stay with a family

Perfect Vacay!!

Beginning with the initial reservations, the Vacay Time group was amazing! All interactions were wonderful and they were so above and beyond with accommodatiing our every need. We stayed at this home last year which is why we returned. Under this new management, our visit went flawlessly and better than last year! The home itself is beyond words. It is perfect for our group of 7, but has so many perks to offer any group. First, the home is On The Beach...literally steps from the front door, with amazing views. We enjoyed all day lounging on the deck when we were not down on the beach. The home has plenty of seating for movie watching when raining and mealtime in the beautiful dining area which is open concept with the kitchen made it perfect for every meal. This location is minutes from Galveston entertainment and historical offerings, but don't overlook the local restaurants near this location. Food, drinks and wonderful local customer service is top notch. We will be booking again for this annual family/friend vacay again next year at our favorite beach house!

I had the most amazing time at the Galveston Island Jamaica Beach! The location was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning sunrise and ocean views from every room. The cleanliness of the home was top-notch, and the host's warm hospitality truly made it feel like a home away from home. They were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. I can't wait to come back and experience this incredible getaway again!

You can't beat the view, the photos don't do the view justice. It was a perfect home for my mom's birthday, where we spent time with family. There were a few kinks but the host was very responsive and helpful. For example, the porch lights weren't working, and 30 minutes after I called them about the issue, someone came to fix it! The washer worked fine but the dryer wasn't drying the clothes. Overall, the home was a fun getaway and the hosts were very quick to respond and accommodating. They even allowed us to have a Mariachi play for my Mom!!!!!!!!

The house itself was great, with a great setup for traveling with kids. All 6 kids slept by themselves in the bunk beds which was awesome for them (and the parents). Everything was very clean, specially considering it’s a beach house. We had zero complaints. The location is right on the beach which made getting on and off the beach super convenient. The hosts were responsive and everything went according to plan. It would be great if you could check in sooner or check out later, but it was not unreasonable. We’d go back there again for sure

The view, beach access, and floor plan of the house w/ 3 full baths are ideal. Unfortunately, our stay was plagued with multiple issues and what should have been our time for relaxation was consumed by calls, text, and maintenance visits in attempts to correct issues. The two main problems were (1) septic water gushing from ground at lower level decking making that area unsafe for our dogs to roam and unaccesible for our guests to use shaded space, and (2) air conditioner only cooling main floor. The upstairs area that slept 10 guests ranged in temps from 87-94 F(even with fans going and 2 portable units added by maintenance) making it very uncomfortable to sleep and utilize upstairs bathroom. The last day a portable unit was added to main floor as a\c could not keep it cool. Saturday evening, we were offered to move to another beachhouse but decided that was too much trouble and lost time with many guests leaving Sunday morning. A refund for one night’s stay was offered and accepted

We stayed 6 days in this home and it was great. Had plenty of room for all 8 of us and everything we needed to get started. 3 bathrooms, beach towels, boogie boards. It was all great! Literally right on the beach and perfect for the kids to run out and swim. The beach wasn’t crowded at all as it was private. They had a spot upstairs and downstairs to sit outside and enjoy our evenings. We utilized these areas everyday while we were there. The only thing I advise is bringing your own beach chairs and bring bug spray. The bugs were horrible but of course that’s just nature! The house, location and amenities were perfect for our family vacation. Would recommend to bigger families that want some privacy right on the beach.

Pros: Management company is very responsive and took customer service seriously. We had issues getting into the house because the code was wrong, one of the bed frames was broken and unusable and we had no wifi for a day (which we were compensated for). All of these issues got fixed quickly. Location was beautiful and steps to a very clean and quiet beach. Also loved the outdoor showers to rinse off. The bathrooms and kitchen were well equipped with clean towels and lots of kitchenwares. Cons: the house overall is an old house so it has its issues like loose tiles in the bathroom, warped wood on the stairs, the laminate flooring is curling, the central AC doesn’t work well so there are 2 portable units in the house to help cool the house down. The dryer doesn’t dry clothes/towels well - we had to run the dryer 3x on a regular sized load and it did an ok job. The convenience of being right on the beach was so nice but it was still too expensive in my opinion to be worthwhile.

I wish I could give a 3.5 star review. Our stay overall was enjoyable, the location of the house was beautiful, we loved the kitchen and balcony areas especially! That being said, there are some negatives we couldn’t look past... Firstly, the first level of the home was cool while the second floor was very warm and intolerable for my parents (there was only one a/c unit in one bedroom). Fortunately, my parents had brought their own big fans and were able to move that cool air over to their room. Secondly, the first floor shower, had only a hand held shower head that was zip tied to the wall and hanging close to the floor. In order to shower you’d have to hold the shower head the whole time. Lastly, the queen bedroom on the first floor had a broken bed frame. My husband and I could not sleep comfortably as the bed was VERY slanted and I was constantly falling off. I wish I could give a perfect review, the house is truly beautiful and could be worthy of 5 stars with some changes.

We enjoyed our stay at Catch a Wave to Paradise. It is a wonderful home very close to the beach! We did have some issues with the A/C, and the management company did an excellent job communicating to us their plan to resolve the issues to the best of their abilities during the tropical storm.

This house could be great. One shower was broken. The other showers were installed backward so we took a cold shower before figuring out it was backward.The house only has 2 portable a/c units, one was leaking into the floor. We were uncomfortable with the temp the entire time. Chairs on outside were broken and one broken chair in the kitchen. Host was very responsive and friendly, even allowing us to checkin early but I feel like for what we paid the house should be kept up better or be transparent about the condition of the house.

Day one we had a guy show up (didn't know who he was) saying he was the owner and needed to get inside in order to grab some things from the closet. By day two, we noticed water leaking from the 1st floor ceiling directly underneath the upstairs bathroom. A constant drip which required us to keep a pot and towels on the floor to catch the water. The Airbnb "hosts" are a management company, and they were very responsive and apologetic. Nothing at all wrong with the management company or experience with them. The location can't be beat - literally right on the beach. The place has beautiful views. But for the price paid vs the experience... I've stayed at places just as nice, if not nicer, but without any issues for half the price.

Amazing location literally right on the beach…just a few short, convenient steps away. The house was perfect for families with lots of kids that loved the triple decker bunk bed. Peaceful and quiet location with beach access only for the neighborhood. Beautiful views!

This is true beachfront. The house is very comfortable. Go to the beach or sit on the deck and watch the waves. Very relaxing. Great little grocer about 1/4 mile away. Evett is a great host.

We booked a last minute day-of trip on a beautiful Saturday and couldn’t have been happier. The host was so responsive and flexible, allowing us to check-in early and check-out a little late. The proximity to the beach can’t be beat. All bedrooms were great and exactly as described in the listing. Would definitely stay here again!
