Snarky Shark - beach home 3 blocks to the beach

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. Downstairs, you’ll find a full-size bed and a convertible twin chair, ideal for teens or young adults. 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.

The home accommodates up to six guests comfortably. A $25 per night charge applies for the sixth guest, and additional unregistered guests or exceeding the occupancy limit will result in fees or eviction without refund. Daytime visitors, including children, are limited to a total of eight on the property until 8 pm.

While the driveway can fit up to four vehicles, carpooling is recommended. The garage is not available for guest use, and parking on the street or grass is prohibited.

Guests must be at least 25 years old to book, provide a government-issued photo ID, and complete the verification process on Airbnb or VRBO—or have at least one five-star guest review. The person who books must stay at the home for all nights, as third-party bookings are not allowed.

Fully house-trained adult dogs are welcome, with a maximum of two dogs up to 60 pounds each and a non-refundable pet fee of $70 per dog per stay. Please keep pets off the furniture, clean up after them, and use the provided kennel if they’re left alone indoors. Only dogs are permitted, and undisclosed pets will incur an additional $100 fee per pet or possible eviction.

Guests should be aware that falsely representing a pet as a service animal is a misdemeanor under Texas House Bill 4164, punishable by fines and community service.

To make your beach days even more enjoyable, beach toys, boogie boards, chairs, a cooler, and a corn hole set are provided. Beach towels are also available—please wash them after use and return them to their proper place to avoid extra cleaning fees.

Smoking is not allowed inside the home; a $200 fee applies for violations. Smoking is permitted outdoors, but please dispose of cigarette butts properly.

The City of Jamaica Beach Regatta Basin, also known as the Marina, is located just six blocks away. It offers a single paved boat ramp providing access to the canals that lead to West Bay, along with a parking and seating area. A guest permit is required for use.
