Welcome to The Snarky Shark, your perfect beach getaway in Jamaica Beach. Pull up and conveniently park up to four vehicles in the driveway, making it easy for your group to settle in and relax. This home offers plenty of space for everyone, with a fenced backyard where children or furbabies can safely play while guests unwind on the shaded downstairs patio. After a day at the beach, fire up the charcoal grill and enjoy an evening of great food and conversation with friends and family.
Inside, you’ll find all the comforts of home, including central air conditioning upstairs, split A/C downstairs, and ceiling fans throughout to keep you cool from the Texas heat. The living room features a plush sofa and loveseat, perfect for gathering together for movie night. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with everything you need to whip up breakfast or dinner, complete with cookware, utensils, and a convenient counter with bar stools. Enjoy meals at the dining table or step outside onto the deck to dine in the fresh coastal air.
When it’s time to rest, retreat to one of the two upstairs bedrooms or the cozy downstairs living area. The spacious primary bedroom includes a luxurious king-size bed, while the secondary bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed.
On the ground level with access from the patio, you’ll find a spacious air conditioned room to relax. Please note that the downstairs living space, including the half bath, is not connected internally to the upstairs and is accessible via the patio area, making it unsuitable for unattended young children.
For your peace of mind, weather event cancellations are eligible for refunds if a mandatory evacuation order or large-scale utility outage occurs. Keep in mind that June through November is high storm and hurricane season, and travel insurance is recommended.
