“Great spot in Jamaica beach. 4 bedrooms upstairs, 2 downstairs. New pool. Could use some touchups on paint, exposed wood, bathrooms. But gets the job done.”

“My family had a wonderful time. It was very convenient to have access to the canal and a pool. We had plenty of space and the property was clean. We will definitely be staying again.”

“We stayed for a night for Father’s Day weekend and everything was pretty clean. There was A/C in every bedroom. Plenty of parking for a big family like mine. We enjoyed our stay”

“Everything worked properly, parking was easy, check in and out was easy and property was perfect for our group even caught a Flounder off the deck!!Really appreciated the communication asking how our stay was and how we were doing.Thank you!”

“Very nice house . Asked questions and I was helped quickly Loved staying her and so did my kids”

“we loved it and had so much fun !”

“Great stay!”

“The beach house was great. We enjoyed our stay!”

“This stay was memorable. The place was just how we remembered it from last year. All that’s left to say is that we’ll see you next year on Easter. Oh and I wish the pool was heated lol”

“Nice place.”

“Overall, we had a good stay. The property matched the listing and served its purpose well. Check-in was easy and communication was solid. Everything was comfortable and straightforward experience.”

“Great place to stay nice clean tidy. Would love to stay there again thanks for having me.”

“We enjoyed our stay. It was clean and peaceful.”

“was a very great solid place we loved staying there bed rooms were very nice lots of space can fish right off the back end of the porch it was so amazing”

“Positive: Everything was clean and comfortable Negative: Nothing”

“We loved the house definitely coming back for summer!”

“overall nice place to stay at a good price. clean but definitely some fixes can be done throughout that made it seem a little different than pictured(ripped couch, stained mattress, broken picture frames, doors, and a few other minor things) the only major issue we had with the place was the dock. top deck moved around when walking on it, has a few rotted out boards, didn't feel safe out there which was a bummer because that was the major appeal of the house”

“Great stay!”

“Very nice place. Lots of beds. ”

“Great communication! Home was clean and delightful. Host was very responsive.”

“We had a great time, the house was perfect.”

“This is very nice place to get away. The view of the canal from the deck is relaxing.. The 5 bed areas made it easy for everyone to get a place to sleep. The parking is good and with the gate closed very private. I would recommend this place for a stay. The weather was too cool for us to check out the pool but it was sparkling clean.”

“Nice place to stay. Hopefully it’s available when we come back next year.”

“Our stay at the Canal House was perfect for our family of 10. The home was spacious and welcoming, easily accommodating both our family and our pets’ outdoor needs. The pool was amazing—clean, refreshing, and a favorite gathering spot.We loved the two covered porches—one in the front and one in the back—and the deck had plenty of seating for everyone to relax and enjoy the breeze.Communication with management was excellent. They responded promptly to all inquiries before and during our stay, which gave us peace of mind. I particularly appreciated their thoughtful response to my concerns about past reviews mentioning refrigerator issues. We brought extra coolers just in case, but there were zero problems. In fact, the additional small fridge was a great bonus—we used it for drinks.One important note for future guests: during our stay, a double high tide—combined with a strong north wind—caused the water to rise 8 to 10 inches over the lower deck. Thankfully, we had only left chairs and a few fishing rods out, none of which were swept away. It didn’t rain, so this was purely a tidal event. It would be helpful for guests to be made aware of the potential for rising water in the Jamaica Beach area, especially during certain weather conditions.The Canal House exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely return. ”

“The house needs some maintenance especially on the top deck. The WI-FI is very intermittent (this might just be the area). The primary bedroom has great water pressure. The rest of the house not so much. Many guests had to shower in primary restroom. The water in the kitchen was very low and never got really hot. Chris is very responsive and helpful! He checked on us via text after our arrival and made sure we knew how to get in touch with him. Would definitely rent from Chris again!”

“Perfect property for our beach/fishing getaway! We loved fishing on the canal, and the short drive to Jamaica beach was perfect! The house had great ourdoor space for hanging out, and nice cool AC after a hot day at the beach!”

“Great!”

“Loved the house. My kids and I enjoyed fishing and relaxing outside. Great place would stay again.”

“Great place! Very nice surroundings we loved sitting outside on the tall chairs! So peaceful.”

“Very nice quiet neighborhood fun lil fishing spot and a great pool to cool off in ”

“The house was great for our readers retreat, With many beds to accommodate everyone in our group to have their own bed. It was a group of 10 and not all beds were used. One room on the lower level was hot, it had an AC window unit. It did not bother us because no one slept in there but I went in there several times and it was hot in there each time. Two rooms were on the lower level separate fromThe house with its own entrance. That was sort of a downer for us because we wanted to be together, but it was OK. I must’ve missed that part in the description of the house, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker besides that the house is perfect for any questions and concerns I had I got a quick response from host. I would love to stay here again in the summer if they fix the AC unit in that hot room because I loved the amount of vets it has. I would recommend for big families and groups.”

“The only problem was, this mini family getaway wasn’t long enough. Chris the house was amazing. Very clean and lived up to all our expectations. So close to the beach as well! We had a fantastic time. Thank you We will see you again soon!”

“We had an amazing weekend at this rental! The property manager was extremely communicative and responsive after booking, prior to check-in, during our stay, and after check-out. The home was absolutely beautiful and spaciously accommodated our big family! I loved that we were able to have everyone under one roof. The kids enjoyed the amenities. The multiple decks and swimming pool were a huge bonus! Plenty for the family to do. The neighborhood was nice, clean and safe! Perfect location for families. We loved our stay at this home and definitely plan to return!”

“I had a large group of 10 staying the night prior to a cruise out of Galveston the following morning. The house was PERFECT!! It was clean, comfortable, and so cute! We just wish the rainy, cold weather weren’t a factor as we would have loved to spend time out by the pool or the beautiful decks. The house was wonderful and our host was very quick to answer my questions. A wonderful experience!!”

“Chris was attentive nice helpful, the house was beautiful, and roomy.”

“Chris had excellent communication as a host. A couple of miscommunications only happened from the listing offering a firepit and there wasn't one and one part of the listing saying the max amount of people was 9 and another saying 14. Beautiful space, nice decor and our favorite was the back deck with the tall chairs. Wish there was 2 dining room tables in the same space so we could all eat together, but we made it work.”

“Great access to the bay”

“Awesome place. Chris is a great host with fast responses. Great location, one of the best in Jamaica beach.”

“The accommodations were great! There was plenty of room for everyone. There was plenty of things to do at the house, swimming in the pool and fishing from the pier. ”

“Great place, perfect location.”

“Was good house to stay with the family ”

“We had a girls weekend and we enjoyed ourselves! We had the best time hanging by the pool and it was so relaxing! There was plenty of room to accommodate our group of 14 and the place was clean. It’s the perfect distance away from the city life but just a short distance to Galveston!”

“We had a great time, as always. Just a few tips I have: need about 5 umbrellas to have around the pool for some shade. The kids didn’t want to even get in it because it felt like a hot tub.”

“We had a great time staying at Sam's place in Jamaica Cove. It was a good venue for our retreat with ample space. Highly recommended!”

“Loved the pool, the privacy and access to the beach.”

“Absolutely loved everything about this house! My family and I go to Galveston/ Jamaica beach every year multiple times a year and I have never stayed at a house that my whole family has loved so much. This house will ALWAYS, be our go to house to book during vacation. The host was absolutely an amazing host ! The kids loved the pool the house was big and beautiful! Just an amazing stay!”

“Great host , amazing place to stay . wish I could've stayed a little bit longer , really enjoyed the night . Definitely would recommend it”

“The place was amazing! Beautiful and peaceful place. I would definitely be back again!”

“Beautiful place we went right before the freeze and we still had fun next time we will be going in the summer time. We got in late Friday night and Uber delivered food at almost 2 am”

“great house . but guest shower backs up and has some mold around the shower. also my 5 year old found a opened glass beer bottle under the sofa that didn't belong to us. some of the outside lights were not working. other than that the house is great . now for fishing it is NOT a great location. we tried to fish behind the water behind the houe NOT 1 bite did we get for the 4 nights that we were there for.”
