Nice house with great canal location in Jamaica Beach. Outdoor shower and 2 kayaks were big hits with my kids. If you have small kids be aware that the master bedroom is downstairs in the converted garage, so no access inside, have to go outside through separate doors. Easy booking, communication and check in.
