5★ Waterfront home w/ bikes & kayaks, fire pit! Amazing underwater fishing light

Borrowing from Walt Disney's mission for Disneyland, our mission for 'Jamaica Cove' is simple...'to be a place where friends & family can have fun together.' You won't find a more beautiful, more relaxing or more FUN house on the island... with plush, high-end amenities and complimentary perks like beach cruiser bicycles, kayaks, beach toys and an amazing underwater fishing light, "Jamaica Cove" has something for everyone.

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 Cove' 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 jackets at no cost). This is a place where parents can relax on the deck and pets can play safely in our fully-fenced side 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 Cove' 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 Labour 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!

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!

My little family really enjoyed our stay at Robin’s canal house. Although we did not have the best weather, we were able to enjoy time fishing from the dock, watching the beautiful sunsets on the spacious decks, cooking in the beautiful kitchen, and kayaking down the canal. The house is very spacious, decorated & stocked well, the beds are super comfortable, and there’s so many modern touches. Check-in was a breeze, and communication with Robin was excellent, he was incredibly responsive & made sure to check in to ensure we had what we needed.
