Relax, Play, Fish, Crab - Birds, Beach and incredible Sunsets - Sleeps 10 to 11

Come experience a relaxing getaway at our beautiful blue Bella! Sitting on the canal on Sunset Point in Terramar Beach, the location is the perfect place for fishing, bird watching, kayaking and paddle boarding. An unobstructed view of Galveston Bay makes for gorgeous sunset viewing each night, and the beach is an easy 3 minute car ride (or 15 minute walk) away. If a break from the beach is desired, the community pool is only 1 or 2 minutes away with car and 7 to 8 minutes if walking.

Bella comfortably sleeps between 10 to 11. There are 3 full bedrooms (a Queen, a King and a Queen with an attached top bunk), and an airy loft in the living area that doubles as a playroom and sleeping area (it includes a futon, a daybed and a pullout loveseat). All three bedrooms complete with a smart TV, cable and internet for catching up on the news or relaxing with a movie or TV show after a day in the sun or fishing. The house has 2 1/2 bathrooms, plus an outdoor shower with cold and hot water for rinsing off after kayaking or a swim. Bella has a big open kitchen with dining table and island- perfect for post-beach family meals. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and baking and has a range/oven, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator/freezer. There’s a spacious living room (complete with 60 inch smart TV with cable and internet) for lounging or playing games. A washer and a dryer are conveniently located in the hallway between the kitchen and two of the bedrooms. The house has full Wifi coverage for connecting your devices to catch up on social media, emails, news and similar in between enjoying the outdoors.

The property has 3 outdoor lounging areas: A spacious top level deck with two big dining tables, padded lounge chairs and a gas grill; a bayside deck with cocktail table and chairs for relaxing with a glass of wine at sunset; and a shaded dockside lounging area with a stone picnic table, couch and chairs, coal fired grill and bar for mixing cold Margaritas and Piña Coladas. There are even two jet ski docks convenient for kayak launching, and a fish cleaning table. Use of the kayaks (2), paddle boards (2) and bicycles (2) is included with the rental.

Two exercise mats and dumbbells from 5 to 25 pounds are available for staying in shape while relaxing and enjoying vacation meals and beverages, for last minute efforts to achieve the desired beach body or for building strength to reel in the big fish!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

A beautiful house in a good location. Very nice kitchen and nice furniture. The upper deck is awesome. We only caught a few small fish but we still had a good time. We also used the paddle boat. Only couple minor things. 1. the remote control of TV doesn't work. 2. the gas grill does not get hot at all. Overall, we had a good experience. I would recommend this place. Thank you.

Second time at Bella and we loved it just as much as the first time. It was super clean, the downstairs dock area had plenty of space, the kitchen had everything I needed to cook with and the beach was easy to get to. The paddle boards are always an extra treat to use after a morning at the beach. It’s the perfect family house as everyone has a space to sleep and plenty of spaces to spread out.

Overall everything was wonderful - clean, well-supplied, kayaks provided, crab traps for the kids to check, fantastic sunsets! Only one thing was a problem: a bed downstairs wasn't up to par. The owner tried to fix the problem and I imagine it will be completely resolved quickly.It's a great place in a wonderful location!

We had a great stay at Bella! The deck space is amazing. The weather didn’t cooperate and let us use it as much as we’d hoped. The home was well stocked with almost anything we needed. Had some fun fishing and crabbing off the dock, however the lights didn’t work.

Great

We came down to the West End for a quick birthday weekend for our 12 year old daughter and the house was perfect. The communication prior to our stay was excellent and all check-in instructions were simple and easy. The house was clean and we enjoyed the open floor plan. The upstairs and downstairs outdoor areas are very spacious and the kids enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaks, and other outdoor toys. We brought our boat down and there was plenty of room in the driveway and access to the Teramar boat ramp was very convenient. All in all, we truly enjoyed our stay at Bella and will likely stay again in the future. Thanks Jan for the great experience and allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home for a weekend.

Relaxing stay with everything you might want

The extended family enjoyed a long weekend before embarking on a cruise - relaxing way to start a holiday. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and packed with everything you might want. Everyone agreed the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with gadgets and dishes for home cooking. Swimming from the back door was amazing, and we enjoyed the grill, the kayaks and the paddle boards. All around fabulous - highly recommend.

Fantastic family getaway

The hosts were fantastic communicators leading up to our stay and during our stay. This was one of the cleanest houses we have stayed in(we’ve been renting for over 20 years). The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and pots/pans for all our cooking needs. The sunset views from the house were directly looking at the bay every night. The stand up paddle boards for our teens were a huge hit and they took advantage of them every day. The fishing off the dock was great (caught trout every night) and there was plenty of space for those not wanting to fish. Beach access right across from the subdivision entrance was also less crowded than other beaches. We can’t wait to go back!

Amazing Time!

My family of four and five close friends had the most wonderful time staying in Bella. Words cannot describe the enjoyment we experienced as a family fishing and crabbing, literally at Bella's back door. The home was spacious and comfortable both indoors and out. We do a lot of family style cooking while on vacation and the kitchen was fully prepared and lacked nothing we needed for an enjoyable home-cooked meal. The local stores had everything for all our needs without having to leave the area which allowed us more time to unwind under Bella's roof, while at the same time downtown Galveston was just a short drive away. The community's pool was never crowded and just a little longer walk brought you to the Gulf where the local beach always had plenty of space. Access to the bikes, paddle boards, and kayaks were a huge plus, with all the safety equipment onsite as well. Plenty of outdoor games were also included from can-jam to corn-hole, and connect-four to horse-shoes. A wide variety of board games were also "at the ready" when the mood hit. One of the reasons we chose Bella for our vacation were the reviews about cleanliness. We were very pleased to find that they were correct. Upon entering Bella we found a home that was clean, neat and tidy. Kudo's to the housekeeping staff! She had the feel of your own home away from home. To sum it up, if you are looking for an enjoyable place to stay, I would call Bella "all inclusive"!

A wonderful place to stay

We experienced a true escape from hectic city schedules, and felt transported to a far away place. The place itself is gorgeous and comfortable. It's close to Terramar Beach, and we loved kayaking on the canals. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to entertain and enjoy. Communication with our host was easy and quick, but only because I'm chatty and ask lots of questions, not because we were lacking anything. The younger couples found it romantic and wanted to stay longer. We were thrilled to see out family gather there and enjoy each other. I have to mention the comfy beds. Finally, we loved the magical sunsets, lounging on the patio.

We fished, played with the kayaks and SUPs, went to the beach, played board games, everything was perfect!! Loved, loved, loved our stay. Kids were happy as were the adults. Large group, 3 sets of adults and 5 kids 6-15. Everyone was comfortable and Bella was more than accommodating. Can't wait to plan next year's annual trip to Galveston and hopefully we can book Bella again!
