Waterfront luxury! Free bikes & kayaks! Great fishing! Bike to the beach!
Borrowing from Walt Disney's mission for Disneyland, our mission for 'Jamaica Cay' is simple...'to be a place where friends & family can have fun together.'
Located on one of the largest canals in Jamaica Beach w/ direct access to Galveston Bay & State Park, you can't ask for a better location... - 5 minute bike ride to the beach, Jamaica Beach Swimming Pool (open Memorial Day to the first of August), playground & city park - 20 minute drive to the Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, the Strand & Sea Wall
'Jamaica Cay' is a place where families can bike to the beach on our complimentary 'beach cruiser' bicycles. A place where children can fish from our pier or kayak through the protected canals of Jamaica Beach (we provide kayaks & life vests at no cost). This is a place where parents can relax on the deck, knowing the kids & pets are playing safely in our fully-fenced yard, and it's a place where friends can enjoy a day of boating right from our boat slip or simply spend the afternoon grilling by the water or relaxing on the deck.
Whether you're looking to soak up some sun in the Jamaica Beach pool or spend the day hiking the nature trails of Galveston State Park, it's all within a mile of our home. Above all else, 'Jamaica Cay' is a place to get away for awhile, relax, and enjoy life with each other! (The Jamaica Beach pool is typically open 6 days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and charges $5/person for a day pass.)
Our private dock is equipped with an underwater fishing light to help draw in the 'big ones' after dark! Trout, red fish, drum, and several other varieties are frequently caught from our deck!
5★ AMENITIES: We've paid particular attention to "the little things" that make a stay more comfortable: - large king beds w/ high-quality, tempurpedic mattresses - 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets - premium resort-grade towels - complimentary beach cruiser bikes and kayaks w/ an assortment of helmets, life jackets and paddles - charging ports on bedside tables - high speed wireless internet - HD Roku TV's in the living room & all bedrooms - Complimentary pack & play, high chair seat, children's dishware and utensils to make your little one's stay as restful as yours!
Fishing Guide & Boat Rental Service: If you're looking to hit the water for a guided fishing excursion or a dolphin watching sunset cruise, our professional guide service is available to pick you up right at our pier for a full day or half day bay fishing trip... it doesn't get more convenient than that! Also, if you are interested in renting a boat during your stay, we can help you arrange a full or half-day boat rental at a special discounted rate for our guests!
A note from the owners for parents traveling with small children... we have young children ourselves and have taken great care to ensure our home allows children to play safely AND allows parents to enjoy their vacation without constant worry. Lockable safety gates on both the upstairs deck and the fully-fenced yard help keep your children & pets safely away from the water and street. We also have a high chair and pack-n-play available for your use (just make sure to bring crib sheets).
Wheelchair Accessible... "Jamaica Cay" is wheelchair accessible with a full length ramp extending from the ground level to the main level (including the living and dining rooms, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, deck and patio dining area).

Jamaica Cove is fantastic! We booked this house for our birthday celebration with another couple. We took the kayaks out on the one day it was warmer and sunny, rode the bicycles around the Island while looking at all the other homes on the canals. We loved the layout and space to relax and enjoy breakfast at the table. There was plenty of parking even though we only used two spaces. There was great communication by Robin. Any concerns we had, were addressed, like trying to locate the bicycle tire pump, which was dropped off on the front porch while we were out. We should have made use of the firepit. If I could give this 4 and 3/4 stars I would. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because there were minor things that we would have liked for there to be more. For example, there is only one towel per person, my friend wanted an extra towel for her hair. (We ended up grabbing one from the basement bathroom, but if we had 8 people staying there as originally planned, we wouldn't have been able to do that). Since we stayed in mid January it would have been nice to have some throw blankets for the evening while sitting around the firepit (perhaps that's why it went unused) or relaxing in front of the TV after exploring all day. We did noticed some things that might need inspection/fixing and alerted Robin, but nothing that wouldn't be covered by the renovation that Robin had blocked off. Overall, we loved Jamaica Cove and would stay again! You won't be disappointed!

This was our third time staying at this property. It never disappoints!! The proximity to the beach is perfect. The time spent kayaking in the canal was so relaxing. The deck is large enough for everyone to spread out. The house and rooms are spacious enough so you dont feel cramped. I cant wait to come back!!

Have stayed at several places owned/hosted by Robin, and we have yet to be disappointed. This home was perfect for our family of 8, and with the kayaks and great fishing from dock, we rarely had to leave the house for anything other than makinh the 2 min drive to the beach!
Highly recommend this property, along with the other properties that are hosted by Robin in Jamaica Beach area. Much like our families experience, your family will have a great stay and will not be disappointed. .
