About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
WATERFRONT! Pool! Nature's Oasis on the Island
This is Tree Frog Harbour House - a gem tucked away in the heart of Galveston. TEN MINUTES from everything in town; it is nestled between a private marina and wetland nature preserves. With three bedrooms, a spacious living room and dining room. Laguna de Oro - Golden Laguna - is truly one of Galveston’s best kept secrets. Enjoy nature and gorgeous sunsets while being conveniently located!
The backyard has a refreshing swimming pool and a spacious fishing deck over a beautiful neighborhood marina. The front yard overlooks a nature preserve where pelicans dive and flamingos wade through waters rich with shrimp and crabs. Watch the sunrise over the water on one side, and set over a golden lagoon on the other.
Large families will feel right at home in this spacious, two-story, three-bedroom home on the water. Whether you are wanting to visit local restaurants or to take advantage of Galveston's fabulous fishing opportunities, this home makes all these things available while still offering a bit of privacy from the bustling tourist population in town!
Fish from the large dock, enjoy the beautiful wetland marsh providing stunning sunset views and a perfect spot for bird watching. Bring a boat and tie up right at the dock. The Laguna is great for fishing. Cool off in the private pool overlooking the water. You can access the Strand area, East End or the Beach in less than 10 minutes by car.
Unwind and fall in love with this peaceful, comfortable living space, beautifully decorated and fully furnished for your comfort.
Other things to note
You do have to climb stairs to get to the upper level where all the bedrooms are.
There are people who maintain the property that you might run into during your stay! The landscaping crew comes every week and pest services come regularly. The pool is serviced generally on Tuesday mornings.
We live adjacent to a nature preserve. It is great for bird and wildlife watching and unplugging from the hustle and bustle. We take every precaution to keep pests and animals off the property, but if the occasional bug venturing indoors, or the possibility of encountering raccoons, possums, or snakes in the neighborhood is unacceptable to you, Laguna D’Oro may not be the best vacation spot for you. Otherwise please come enjoy the small-town charm and beauty of Mother Nature, tucked next to these beautiful wetlands.
**For the safety of you and local wildlife, please make sure all trash is fully in trash receptacles and that they are fully closed.
POOL
Pool hours are 8am-9pm. This neighborhood has many working folks and retirees, so we ask that you respect and honor their neighborhood while you are visiting.
We love that the pool feels like an extension of nature. We have placed it right on the water and under a batch of beautiful bamboo that give you privacy while not loosing the natural beauty around you.
We do have the pool professionally serviced, but because of its proximity to nature, leaves, bugs and other natural things find their way into the pool regularly.
Please read and adhere to all Pool Rules before using.
DOCK
We love our large brand new dock and know you will too. 18 ft x 30 ft is plenty of space for everyone to cast a line. This is our favorite spot to drink coffee in the morning while the sunrise bounces off the water. We do not generally use it for boating, but you are welcome to tie off if that suits you!
Please read and adhere to all Pool Rules before using. Additional rules - No parties or events allowed. - Please respect the noise curfew. Jamaica Beach is a vacation community with many families. Following city ordinances, a strict 10pm-7am quiet hours are enforced. - One dog allowed. Must be under 40 lbs. Dog must be house broken and crate trained.

Also, please rinse and allow any beach toys or equipment before replacing them in the house. - Please leave the heating or air system running even when you are out to help with moisture control. - Suitable for toddlers and children under 12.

Hand towels would have been nice, in the bathrooms, the small space between the commode and wall in master bath, should have been noted, if we were to have been larger people, there is no way we could have used it. It would have been nice if the Light switches were labeled, and some light bulbs were out. Very old house

Had a very enjoyable stay. On the dock Fishing was great. Could use some pole holders. Also Took a pop up canopy and worked perfect on the dock. The bottom level is great. Open area, we set up a fold up table down there and played cards and dominos. Would def recommend for a family that likes to fish and swim.

Very peaceful and comfortable atmosphere! Short drive to the Sea Wall and beaches, the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in, excellent water pressure, very homey feeling! The dolphin sightings right from the back yard, and sea turtle feeding from the dock was a major highlight. The pool was a bit chilly as our trip was in October, BUT we still thoroughly enjoyed it with the kiddos. Painting on the balcony during down time was a mental reset that was much needed and enjoyed as well, and the sun rise view is gorgeous! We will definitely book again, our short amount of time was NOT long enough!

Perfect escape
Lovely little gem. Perfect for a quiet escape to relax. Private fishing and swimming were ideal, and the vegetation lining both sides of the back of the property adds to the sense of peace and seclusion/privacy. Beds were SO comfy. Observing wildlife in the preserve across the street from the property was lovely also. Very convenient location to order in or go into town for food and fun. We sent a few messages to the hosts along the way, who replied promptly and were most helpful. We greatly enjoyed our stay and hope to book again.

The best feature of this vacation home is easily the backyard. Part of our group preferred fishing, and the other half preferred the pool. It worked out perfectly that we could all do what we wanted and still feel like we were together.The pool is perfect for adults and children as it slopes from 2-5 feet deep. My 4-year-old niece could easily stand in the shallow end. Our group caught many fish off the pier. Each side of the backyard is bordered by thick vegetation, so it feels very private. One of the full bathrooms is downstairs, making it easily accessible from the backyard. The upstairs living area was comfortable, there was plenty of room for everyone in the living room. Two couples did shared one of the full baths, but everything worked out great. Everyone had a great time, and we would definitely stay here again!

Family Easter Get Away
Our family has been going to Galveston for 3 years now for Easter. The property was in a great spot. We did a lot of fishing from the dock, great space for our dog to run and be outside, and our child loved the pool. Will look at renting again in the future.
