For those Galveston cruise ship passengers looking for a unique beginning or end to their cruise, I’ve just completed a complete rebuild of our short term vacation rental property “Sunset Bungalow.”

This property is completely new inside and out with deluxe resort style accommodations.  Located on the fringe of Jubilee Bay on Galveston’s West End, you’ll enjoy an unparalleled view of prime Galveston Bay wetlands with magnificent Sunsets 337 day a year…  the kind you see in Key West.  With room for 8-10 guests, Sunset Bungalow includes amenities you can’t find in a local hotel.  Things like fishing from a private boat dock, plenty of room for everyone to stretch out, completely stocked video and reading library and kayaks to name just a few.   We’ve also included two huge front and rear decks to enjoy those awesome one of a kind sunsets.

A major benefit to renting a vacation home like ours is you are able to save a lot of money by not eating out.  Prepare all your meals in our fully equipped gourmet kitchen  or fire up the barbie and create your own delicacy.

Sunset Bungalow is located in Jamaica Beach, a quick drive to or from the Galveston Cruise terminal.  Seven Seas grocery is less than a five minute drive for easy shopping.  The Village of Jamaica Beach has it’s own restaurants, convenience stores, post office, and police - fire departments for any type of emergency.

But, lets don’t forget the beach.  Jamaica Beach has it’s own stretch of beautiful sandy beach. And one of the best things about it is that it’s away from all the crowds of Galveston beaches.  Enjoy a nice nice walk or take a quick 3 minute drive. Note: Jamaica beach is known to be a prime sharks teeth hunting ground.

Galveston cruise ship passengers now have a fantastic option to begin or end their cruise.  Sunset Bungalow can accommodate 8 easily.  The lower unit (the bunkhouse) has a full trundle bed and will sleep an additional 2 people.  4 BR/ 3 Bath in all.

  • Costa Rica can be enjoyed most anytime of the year, but beware… there is a rainy season.   I suggest the Oso Peninsula region in Southern Costa Rica, as there is a wide variety of eco adventure to be found.  Drake Bay, Cano Island and Corcovado National Park are all great must see destinations.  Go to VacationCity.com for more info.
