About this property

Relax In your Private Lagoon Pool, Galveston's Best Backyard!

The Blue Lagoon is the last historic island home with 20 inch dropped down tin ceilings. This 1 story 4/2 sleeps 10 on upscale mattresses with luxurious linens. (Rental included a 1/1 guest apt total you can sleep 12) Keep all your guest on the main floor without additional stairs. Entertain your guest in a chefs kitchen with nautical den and dining area. The location is in the heart of everything yet you can sleep quietly at night. Walk to the beach or dinner or hit a play or concert at "The Opera House". You can even have a horse and carriage pick you up. Perfect for wedding or a girls night out.
Walk to the beach in 5 blocks, walk to restaurants, the guys can hop a fishing boat and the girls shop all day. Why add 30 more minutes and miles out on west end when you can be in the city...Enjoy our island then finish the day with the best back yard second only to moody gardens. Don't miss the big game from the hot tub that seats 12. The pool is heated for those cold winter days! Plan on having coffee on the front porch and enjoy the coastal breeze. Before you leave walk down and attend some of the most beautiful architectural designed church's in Texas!
Your rentals gets the main home sleeping 10 and our garage apt sleeps 2 more friends. We do have stairs to get in main house. We do have exterior cameras for safety and insurance purposes. No prom parties please. 100% refund on deposits when 30 days notice on cancellations.

Perfect from beginning to end. Loved every moment and such a close walk to beach. House was perfect for 12. And while we did not use the pool we did sit by it and enjoyed the sound of the waterfall, Ramona could not been a better host for us and was always quick to respond if we had questions.

The pool was the best. The bedrooms were big and comfortable and the living room had plenty of room for all of us. We had a problem with the front door, but it didn’t affect our stay. You are close to all of the places you’ll want to visit. It’s a great place to stay!!

Blue Lagoon Paradise

This is our second stay at this property for our family vacation. We love this house for it's beauty and history, convenience and the outdoor oasis. Even the grandkids (6 & 10) ask me to book "our house". The host is very responsive. We highly recommend this property!

This is a lovely house but getting inside was challenging. A hint for future renters is to bring your luggage in through the garage. You will need to ask the host for the key code in advance. It is NOT the same code to enter through the front door with the high steps. Hint #2 - if you are staying in the garage apartment, you can only enter it through the storeroom. The host was very accomodating with all of my questions and the property is perfectly located for activities.

Great getaway

The house is beautiful and as that old world charm to its structure. The backyard area is what sold us on this spot and it was perfect. The atmosphere was nice and quiet place to relax with family. It is only a few blocks from the beach. So we spent the morning there and retreated back to the private pool in the afternoon. The pool/hot tub area is a nice place to relax.Ms. Ramona was quick to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend this Galveston hideaway.

Stay in pool vacay

Great place for a getaway, yet staycation! Family in town for son’s graduation. Home is very big and not crowded even with all the adults. We loved spending all our time in the pool and hot tub while watching NBA playoffs from the hot tub. Grilled and enjoyed a family celebration all together. Owner was always available and very prompt with responses.

Great Location for Convenient Access to Restaurants and Bars

This was a perfect location for hosting a group of good friends (mostly attorneys and engineers in our late 30s/early 40s) for a weekend of enjoying the best restaurants and bars Galveston Island has to offer. Plenty of space for everyone, and we were walking distance to both The Strand and the beach. The outdoor space was a perfect place to hang out as well. Nice, quiet neighborhood. The host, Ramona, was very responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Host profile image
Galveston is my happy place! I want everyone to take a day off and enjoy it!

Why they chose this property

I have seen many historical homes here but when I walked in here my jaw dropped. The ceilings are fabulous and layout is convenient for everybody. Everything in here was updated and the location was great on the island. The previous owner was son of the founder of Thunderbird Wine and he said he spent a 100K on the backyard alone. I basically only had to add a TV so guest can watch collage football while able to lounge in the hot tub.. Lets face it after a day at the beach its good to swim in clean water.
You can stay on the west end but the beaches are cleaner in front of the hotels on the east end so why not get the best of both worlds. Loads of resturants and entertainment just blocks away! So all the action is right outside your door.

What makes this property unique

Very few rentals here have 1 story with all bedrooms on the same floor. The apartment below is just icing on your cake as this could host a few teenagers if they like their own living space. It's a one bedroom with sleeping for 4 . The adults could all be upstairs and have the quietness they want. If you are here for motorcylce rally the garage below could store 10 or more bikes in a secure area at night.
