Fishing trip

This is a great property with your very own private pool. We felt like we were staying at Jimmy Buffett's house in Margaritaville with all the very nice ocean decor and signage. The family and friends thought it was a big hit and the sleeping accommodations were as described. The Strand and Galveston City center are about 17 miles away but there are stores in Jamaica beach that have what you need. I would highly recommend for those who want to be close to the public beaches and away from the hustle and bustle of the Seawall area. The public beaches are across the highway from the subdivision of this property.

Awesome

The house was very nice. I loved all the decorations. It was nicely furnished and well stocked. The grandsons loved the pool. They caught several fish. We all loved sitting outside on the deck. The bedroom downstairs was a perfect addition. The house had plenty of room for everyone and not be crowded. Anna was a great help on any questions I had. I will definitely be booking the house again.

Best hosts ever

I can't even begin to tell you how awesome our hosts were! We misplaced the keys and without hesitation they drove all the way from Houston to let us in! They were very nice about it! We found the keys, which was a huge sigh of relief all around! The property is amazing, so amazing we didn't have to leave! We just stayed there all weekend and fished on the dock! The cleanliness was bar none. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and was spotless! I can't even begin to say what a great experience this was, especially for the teens. No tablets needed on this trip, they fished and enjoyed the pool! I highly recommend this property!!! Hopefully we can rent it again before summer is up!

Amazing House!!!!

This was a beautiful bay house with an excellent pool, kid landing heading into the pool (for the little ones) and hot tub. The pool stayed cool all day long even when we were in direct sunlight. There was enough umbrellas and furniture throughout the property so that everyone was comfortable to relax and enjoy. The house was decorated so nicely. Every detail was very well thought out and made you feel right at home. There were plenty of beds with nice bedding and comfortable mattress. The roll out canopy on the top level patio was a huge asset especially in the morning when you wanted to drink your coffee outside but not be blinded by the morning sun. The fishing area was setup for easy fishing and cleaning right next to the bay for all of our guys! I would DEFINITELY recommend this house. Tony and Anna were very nice and quickly responsive when we had questions. We will be staying here in the future without a doubt! It was nice for the whole family from the almost 2 year baby all the way up to the adults.

Beautiful fun Bay and Beach house.

The nicest house with pool right on the bay. Plus beach access right across the street. We came for the beach, but most just wanted to stay at the house and pool. Some swam while others fished. This house was above our expectations. We plan on renting it again next year.

Pool Heaven

Overall the stay was good. We had a good time, the pool definitely makes the rental. We had a problem with mice. We had to clean up mouse poop multiple times a day. We had an infant so we were bothered by the cleanliness of having a rodent. Sent pictures to owner with no response.

A little piece of paradise

My family and I had a great time at this property. The host were responsive and ensured that we had everything we needed. The pool was such a perfect addition and the neighborhood was nice. My mother enjoyed the quiet mornings outside on the spacious balcony. The kitchen was smaller than we are used to, but it was perfect for the house size!

We stayed at this house this weekend and found it to be clean, comfortable and spacious for the size. The house is really well done and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could imagine needing. The owners were quick to respond to any questions I had. We would definitely rent this house again.

Beautiful, comfortable home on the west end of Galveston

Our family rented this home in Terramar on the west end of Galveston. It was very clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortable with plenty of elbow room for 4 adults and 3 teens. The owners were very helpful and prompt with responses. I would absolutely recommend this house for any family.

We had a great weekend getaway!!

We enjoyed our stay there very much. The house was extremely clean and well kept. Plenty of room for the five couples we had staying there. Nice, friendly neighborhood. You could walk to the beach easily and within minutes. We enjoyed the house so much we really didn’t leave that often, we spent a lot of time just relaxing outside on the deck. The owner responded to any questions we had very quickly. Great place to stay!

Fantastic! We didn’t want to leave.

This house is beautifully decorated and is so clean. There is a lift to bring your bags and cooler up without dragging up the stairs. That was a Hugh bonus. We have rented beach houses in Galveston once or twice a year for about six years and this was the best yet. The fishing was great. Short drive to pool and marina for bait. Drive across the Main Street and there is a beach you can drive your car right up to the water. Everything was first class and they have everything you could possibly need. Tv in every room. Highly recommend! We will be booking this one again. Thank you Anna for your hospitality.

We had a lot of fun!

This property was just what we were looking for - quiet, near the beach, lots of room and good kid fishing. (The kids caught lots of fish and some would have been keepers!) It is not close to town, but there are some shops for supplies nearby. The pizza is very good. A real bonus was that the subdivision has it's own beach with parking. Grand parents, moms and kids from 14 to 8 had a wonderful time.

About the host

Hosted by Anna Lee Garza

Host profile image
My husband and I have rented vacation homes in Galveston for the past 15 years, it is such a wonderful atmosphere, that we decided to purchase one of our own. We hope to have many make fond memories as we have by sharing our beautiful home with others.
We are "Living the Dream"

Why they chose this property

We decided in Terramar Beach because it is a beautiful subdivision and the friendly atmosphere it has, It is a great getaway.

What makes this property unique

We have always dreamed of having a canal home, since my husband enjoys fishing and boating, and I enjoy the views from the front deck, it is very relaxing to watch the sunset in the afternoons and this beautiful home offers that and many more.
