About Kristen

Captain Jack's is named after 'Captain Jack', the youngest member of a 3-family brood. He is rough, tough, and loves hugs and his house. (He also loves, at age 3, to color on his face with a blue Sharpie marker.)

Kristen purchased this house in 2008
Why Kristen chose Galveston

We chose this property because it is perfect for a multi-family getaway and we wanted to be ON THE BEACH, with an unobstructed view of the ocean. The location of Jamaica Beach is perfect - close enough to Galveston to easily access the amenities of a city, but far enough to enjoy the tranquility of a family beach setting.

What makes this house unique

Captain Jack's offers an ideal place to congregate in open-concept living spaces, as well as the privacy of large, quiet, separate bedrooms.

Wonderful Place for a Family Reunion

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 28, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
Captain Jack's was more delightful than the listing promised. The photos gave a realistic description of the rooms, except that the for kitchen and casual eating area which were larger and more convenient than I expected from the photos. We were there for a family reunion with folks who were staying at a nearby house, and the kitchen and dining area was large enough (and adequately supplied with cookware and dinnerware) for the entire family to have dinner together there one night. The decks are larger than I imagined from the photos, and there is a nice picnic table and several deck chairs right outside the kitchen / living area. The owner was most prompt in answering my questions. I would certainly recommend this property for any family or group who wants a clean and comfortable place to stay.

THIS PLACE HAS IT ALL!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 10, 2012
  • Stayed: Sep 2012
This spacious, clean and comfortable beachhouse has it all! Plenty of room to sleep, we had family and relatives lodge for 5 days. Cook in the well-equipped kitchen, and step out on the deck to dine on a large picnic table overlooking the beautiful gulf. Afterwards, walk up to yet another deck and feed the seagulls. When you are ready to hit the beach, walk downstairs to cross the conveniently located "bridge" that connects you directly to the sand and surf! The proximity to the beach makes it easy to make trips to and from the beachhouse. Don't forget to bring your fishing gear...fish right in front, or pop up a chair and watch the gorgeoous sunset. If you are looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway, you are in the right spot here!

A Dream Family Vacation!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jul 5, 2012
  • Stayed: Jun 2012
Our first family reunion was a huge success at Capt. Jack's! Waking up every morning to the beachfront view was picture perfect, and the house provided great family gathering areas for our crew. We had such a wonderful, relaxing time at the house, we barely left to go into town for the entire week. Also, the owners were were great to work with. When we weren't lounging on the beach, we were absorbing the atmosphere from the shady, breezy deck. The kitchen was well appointed, the bedrooms were clean and quiet, and the zoned air conditioning rocked - giving us welcome relief from the heat. I would highly recommend this property!!
