Inside, Jamaica Me Happy offers a comfortable layout with a dedicated lounging area perfect for entertaining the kids.

In the kitchen, a unique island features a rustic, reclaimed-wood workspace and a tiered bar with seating for three. This kitchen is the perfect space to brew your morning coffee, pack up snacks for the beach, or serve up happy hour cocktails before dinner.

The primary suite sits off the living space and has a king-size bed and a spa-like bathroom with a gigantic, custom-built, step-in shower with a built-in bench. Relax here at the end of a long day at the beach while the water cools your sun-kissed skin.

Not what was pictured
I’m sad to have to write this review. I’ve used VRBO many times, especially in Galveston. I have pictures to support everything below -the downstairs unit was unusable, mold growing on the ceiling, large cobwebs in the corners with spiders on them, and smelled of mold. -the stairs going up are in dire need of repairs, main support was rotted -the pool was filthy. My son in law fished out a dead crab, bandaids and dog bones. The pool guy showed up the next day to clean it. It was not clean on our arrival. He cleaned and shocked it but told us to wait 5 hours before getting in -the door has massive gaps in it. -the floor inside the door has water damage and is rotted, most likely from hurricane Beryl, but needs to be repaired as it sinks in when walked on -the grass hadn’t been mowed, yard was not appealing -the electrical, where to begin. So many extension cords outside that was running the electricity. When you turned on the garbage disposal the kitchen light would go out, I couldn’t use my hairdryer with the bathroom lights on. All electrical outlets were loose -no toilet paper holders, no towel holders or hooks -the master bath had French doors with handles on the outside only. If you shut the doors while in the bathroom you weren’t able to get out -Ants, roaches and spiders everywhere. Ants were on the sofa, on the living room rug. We found a spider on my granddaughters pack in play -refrigerator has broken shelves in the door, all our stuff fell when we opened it

Pool was perfect, house has plenty of rooms and beds. Loved the open concept of the layout. Seafood is a mile away, convince store is very close and beach is just across from the neighborhood. Canal for fishing is close and neighbors who were home were very pleasant. Will be booking again, host answered every text quickly.

Bachelorette Cruise first stop
My mom booked a cruise for my friends and I. This was where we stayed the night before, we thought it was a little bit closer to the beach but still not too far. The downstairs had an off smell like it was mildew or something but we just aired it out a little bit. We had so much fun in the pool it has little barstools that were so cute! Definitely needed bug spray!

I Wanted To Love This Place
I really wanted to live this place, but unfortunately I just can’t. It doesn’t live up to the pictures and we had quite a few concerns: Gate entrance - the only way into the property is through a gate that is latched from the inside. We had to pull a metal wire from the outside to unleash the handle. Really unappealing and it got caught several times. Bathroom handles on master - the master bathroom has French doors. Once closed, there are no handles on the inside to reopen the doors. Master air conditioning - significantly warmer than the rest of the house, regardless of settings. Toilet paper holders - there are no fixed toilet paper holders in either bathroom. The toilet paper either sits in a basket on the floor or has to sit on the counter next to the toilet. For what we paid for this house, it should have proper toilet paper holders. Bugs (cricket/roaches) - we had crickets and roaches come into the house. The home was not sealed well. Downstairs space with exterior entrance - The listing states that One room is ground level. With the listing does not state is that this room has an exterior entrance and is not a part of the rest of the house. This can be really deceiving as we were planning on using this room for children and could not use it at all due to location. -Grill ashes on ground upon arrival -More run down than pictures show -Fridge has shelf that consistently fell out -Hose in the pool with running water -Cable lines close to the yard

Well, the day was good. I love the pool. The house was nice. The only thing was just checking in was a little difficult, but the management was great. They were fair. The only downfall was there was a lot of mosquitoes, but that was due to the rain wasn’t too crazy about the view, but that’s OK Would recommend it. Maintenance was wonderful. The communication was great. They’re making things right when things were wrong.

Cozy beach house with pool, fire pit area. Beach across street.
This house has a nice little fenced in yard for your pets, good size pool, cute fire pit area with chairs to relax and an outdoor shower (Area was dirty so we didn't use it.) If you're needing last minute things there is a Dollar General within 5 min and a gas station right around the corner. Also, I highly recommend visiting Way West Grill & Pizzeria, which is also right around the corner. Their food was delicious and they deliver! Overall, this house could use a little more attention to detail but it was a good stay. Pros: -Beach nearby (across street) -Gas station/Pizzeria within walking distance -Nice pool (not heated) -Cute Fire Pit Area (wood was provided) -Outdoor lighting -Outdoor shower -1/2 bath where the laundry is located downstairs (extra living/arcade/bunks) -Washer/Dryer available -Plenty of outdoor seating Cons: -Shower in master bedroom was slow to drain -No dinner sitting area inside (apart from the bar) -No seasonings in pantry (not even salt & pepper) -Pool needed a little cleaning -Stairs/ Entry gate/ back fence need some TLC -Pigeons everywhere! -Roku in master bedroom didn't work (reached out for help with no resolution) -Blinds need to be replaced -2nd bedroom upstairs doesn't have a TV

Cute place, safety issues need to be addressed. No lights that work by doors. Deck is not safe, poles are loose some were swaying in the wind. Had to call to get check in code. Beds were good. Only two baths with a toilet in laundry room, not four baths. Outside grounds were dirty, pool was too cold to swim. We paid for a week stayed three nights. Neighborhood a bit sketchy.

Don't Rent - Not worth the money
Our family came in from Arkansas, and Dayton to spend the weekend together. I rented the home based on the reviews and stars. Not sure if the reviews were trying to be nice or what, but this home needs major work and is worth maybe 1/2 of what they charge if that. Our stay started out with the home not being ready at 4 PM checkin so we had to wait pass when we were supposed to be checked in. The bottom of the home is full of mold and has a bad oder. Part of our family slept pool side due to the mold and horrible order coming from the room downstairs that also does not have a bathroom so you have to leave the door unlocked for your family to be able to use the bathroom at night. The pictures on the website are very good compared to the actual condition of the home we rented. The home needs a lot of work. especially for the price they are asking. Also be careful as the pigeons will poop on your items under the porch. DO NOT eat under the porch. Overall this one of our worst experiences at a vrbo rental. The home will sleep 6 conformability in the current status. I also tried to contact the owner, however we did not get a response back as I hate giving bad reviews but this one is well deserved. STAY AWAY....
