We definitely understand normal wear and tear and that accidents happen. Part of what you pay is for when you book with us is an Accidental Damage Policy. It covers accidental minor damages. It does not cover intentional damage, excessive damage, pet damages or other breaches of our House Agreement.

 

You can access the beach by car, however, the City of Jamaica Beach may restrict vehicular traffic during peak summer days. You would need to park your car just at the access road and walk onto the beach (If you're staying at Lazy Daze, it’s actually closer to walk from the house).

 

    • Aquatic Sol - It's an easy walk of 4 blocks, straight down 35th Street or 37th Street, to Seawall Beach. We provide a beach wagon for taking the beach chairs we provide or your cooler and toys to the beach.
    • Driftwood Dreams and Pelican Pad - The beach is right across Seawall Blvd from the condominiums. We do recommend walking to the crosswalk at 69th street.
    • Flip Flop Flamingo - It is approximately 6 blocks, straight down 18th Street, to Seawall Beach. It's an easy walk, or simply use the bicycles we provide.
    • Bayside Breeze and Reel Palms - It is almost exactly 1 mile. You can easily drive to the beach straight down Buccaneer Drive. You can also use the bicycles we provide at Reel Palms to get there quickly and easily. Or better yet, ask us about renting our golf cart at Bayside Breeze. It's priced better than the rental agncies on the island.
    • Lazy Daze - Lazy Daze is 124 steps to Jamaica Beach as measured by a Fitbit (yes, we really did). It took us one minute to get to the sand, and no, we were not hurrying. There are two wood step bridges over the dunes (please do not walk on the dunes, they are important to the local wildlife) directly in front of the house.
