About this property

Huge, luxurious and secluded estate with private pool, pond, and large yard

You won't find anything like this anywhere else in Galveston. Massive 7,400 sq ft home named Las Palomas by the original owners, sitting on a 13 acre estate. Private pool and lounge area will keep your family entertained for days, as well as a large fire-pit directly behind it. With 6 / 7 bedrooms, there is room for the whole family.

The majority of the house has 14 foot ceilings, making the home feel palatial, and the master suite has an entire wing of the house, with direct views to the pool and backyard. The bunk room will be a hit with the kids, with 4 built in twin / full bunk beds, 2 super sized bean bag chairs, a couch, 65 inch TV, ping pong table, foosball table, and arcade. When not enjoying the beach or private outdoor oasis, this is where the kids will want to be.

The kitchen is truly a chefs kitchen. The island is one of a kind and the appliances are all top notch. The kitchen also has its own seating area and big screen TV, perfect for keeping the cooks in the family entertained.

The living room, pool room, and bar area have more than enough space for all of the adults and also overlooks the swimming pool and backyard. You won’t be able to find a larger sectional anywhere, great for bringing the family together to watch a movie or your teams big game.

Pool - The pool is a saltwater pool. It is not heated. The pool depth varies from 3 ft - 7 ft.

Pet Policy: All pets must be approved prior to booking. We allow up to 3 pets if approved. We do charge a Pet Fee of $35 per pet.  As well, we ask that you keep them off of furniture, clean up after them inside and outside, and crate them when not at the home. 

Note - Quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am.

Must be 24+ to book.

Galveston Getaway

Pictures do not show back of property that has broken down wooden fence and huge piles of dead brush. Brush is full of fire ants that carry over into yard. Also snakes in brush! Hot tub and waterfall not working. Carpets are filthy. Minimal amount of amenities. Half of kitchen appliances did not work. Disappointed for the amount of money spent.

Great house by lacking hospitality

This house is beautiful and big. It’s an amazing property. The property managers are easy to communicate with and we’re quick to respond to messages. The house was lacking in hospitality amenities none of the bathrooms had the TP holder not a big deal but odd, we had a large group and they knew we’d be using all of the beds, including the fold out beds, but they did not provide any extra bedding for the fold out beds, nor were there any extra blankets and the comforters were basically like decorative sheets, and it was very cold. They did not have pool towels, so there were not enough towels to be in the pool and shower without having to do laundry each time. The pool was very warm and heated, but the hot tub was ice cold. It did not supply basic amenities that we are used to being provided in most properties. If you’re looking for a large property for a large amount of people, especially teams with teenagers this house is great just expect to have to bring your own things for your stay.

Fabulous, Spacious Home

Perfect getaway for our family and friends. Huge home with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Great kid room with ping pong, foozball and a video game. Amazing master suite and bathroom. We had a few problems with a toilet and dishwasher when we arrived but the VRBO representative sent a team out immediately and even installed a new dishwasher. Great place. Highly recommend!

Deferred Maintenance Queen

On the positives: Our family had a great time here despite the many shortcomings of this property. Plenty of room to gather in the different places on site.Negatives: The place is missing a bedroom! There are not 7 rooms, only 6. One room is shown twice but from a different angle (the master). The pull out couch in the library has a leaky air mattress under the couch but not no way to inflate it.Kitchen: One oven doesn't close and is functionally non operative. Dishwasher doesn't work.Hot tub doesn't work and judging by other reviews, repairs have not been made for a long time.Game room wasn't used as most of the stuff was missing pieces or not working. Kitchen supplies are minuscule as are bathroom supplies.And as stated in other reviews, the place is dirty, especially the carpets. If you are a clean freak, you might want to keep looking.The aggravating thing, other than the missing bedroom (which was a real negative) is that this place has so much potential to be a fantastic listing for VRBO. But as it stands, I may look at other platforms when booking my next rental.

Beautiful site but needs updates

This property is very private and the house is amazingly spacious. The house is in need of updates. Carpets were dirty/stained. Door locks are antiquated (not in a good way). We had major trouble unlocking and locking the front door (but the manager was quick to help us). The pool was cloudy and the hot tub didn't heat up (ok since in Oct). We found less individual sleeping areas than we had expected, it is mostly bunking/ group set ups. There is 2 masters with kings & 4 other bdrms with multiple beds (one upstairs w/out proper AC). Also, less bathrooms than we understood (3.5). The main master bath needs a door for privacy while showering. We could tell the house was definitely majestic in it's time and agree that it could be again. Bunking and sharing would definitely be different if this was for my family. As can be with B&Bs, it was a little challenging for a work group /conference, but thankfully we made it work with a group of like minded women.

Its a shame

Its a shame this house could be so so beautiful. We rented this house for the 3 days before our wedding on a cruise. It was supposed to be a nice place to relax, cook and hang out in the pool. We had all of our friends and family coming. The floors were so disgusting, stains all over the carpets, there was trash left in all of the trashcans, dust left everywhere, dead bugs all over the floors. The pools pump does not work so.it was more like a pond than a pool. The hot tub does not get hot and the water in it was only about a foot high. The door handles were falling off the back doors outside and non of the back doors actually locked. I was told maintenance would be out to fix this, and they never came. I contacted management and they had someone come out and reclean but they only wiped up the tile floors and took the trash out. The pool company came the next day to clean it but there wasnt much they could do because the owner apparently does not want to replace the broken pump in the pool. The landscaping was not at all what was pictured and there are vines growing over the front door and into the crqcks of the front door. We were extremely disappointed and scammed for what we paid for this house. I absolutely would not recommend staying here. I was so embarrassed to have my friends and family come stay. This house is a health issue. I COULD GO ON AND ON.

Property not as described

The house was a nice house but the pool was in poor condition. It was cloudy green and you could not see the bottom of the pool. It was full of algae and the owner did nothing about it. I would not book this house if you want to use the pool.

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience

We booked this house for my 40th birthday celebration with a few close friends, my elderly parents and my infant nephew in tow. We chose this house because of the pool and size of the home and kitchen. The goal was to spend most of our time there relaxing since we has family with us that couldn’t be in the heat for long stretches. The size of the house was perfect and we got in easily. However …. The pool was murky with bugs in there feeding on algae- we did not feel comfortable swimming in it or bringing a baby in the pool. Though we contacted the management to get it cleaned, it took half of the trip to get it cleaned and able to actually use - we were only able to use it for one day. This was a big reason we booked the house so to have the pool unusable for that long was very frustrating. There were stains on all of the carpets- not just one or two, but a LOT , including the primary bedroom and the massive walk in closet that I didn’t walk in barefoot once. That is how dirty the carpet was. Filthy. There was next to zero cookware. We had to go buy a cheap set of pots and pans at the target nearby to actually cook a meal. For a “luxury” home, this felt ridiculous and very disappointing. There weren’t even salt and pepper shakers. We had to use linens to cover the outdoor patio furniture- it was stained and too dirty to sit on. For the very high amount we paid this was far from what we expected. Someone needs to deep clean and update this property asap.

Pool Covered in Algae and Mosquitos Everywhere

We decided to stay here because of the great pics of the pool, however the pool was completely green from algae. We complained and after making a bunch of excuses they finally said they’d clean it. They threw in a bunch of chemicals that took too long to work. It only started turning clear after our stay was over. The owner refuses to even acknowledge this now. Then there are the mosquitos. I know they’re natural to this area but I’ve never seen anything like it. You can’t step on the grass without getting swarmed by a cloud of them. We had to wear long sleeves the whole time. All around terrible experience and we should have been compensated but the owners don’t respond to anything. I would advise a better option.

Very spacious & Gorgeous home

This gorgeous home was even more spacious than we ever imagined. Plenty of room & beds for everyone with room for more if needed. Lots of open living areas for entertaining all of the guests. Our only complaints were not enough pots for cooking and the back bathroom on the left wing was very dirty. The shower & tub need a deep cleaning to remove the mildew. The carpet was also stained but we were not too concerned about that. Overall, the home is amazing! We would definitely stay here again if we ever need something for a large group. Amazing place & property!!

Read all the reviews thoroughly

I had reservations about this house but it fit the needs for our family. The biggest plus about staying here is it is very large & perfect for everyone to have their space. Here's what needs attention: It seems as if the house hadn't been cleaned shortly before our visit. Nothing smelled fresh. There was a pile up of old leaves in several places on the back porch.The patio furniture looked dirty & not at all inviting. A place as large as this should have a very nice grill. Instead, it was a charcoal grill that was small & filthy. The pool table was a nice addition, however, it's surface was worn & dirty. The kitchen isn't stocked so be prepared to bring your own seasonings, foil, storage bags, etc. Despite being on overnight, the pool never was warm enough to swim in. The jacuzzi is not heated at all. I read a few comments about the dirty carpet from a couple of years ago but it seems no attention was given to it. The master bedroom carpet is disgusting with stains & not something you will want to walk on without shoes. We had an issue with the master shower backing up & did get the management company to send someone out. However, I found it odd they would not give us a phone number to speak with them (about the shower & pool) instead only communicating through email. Lighting in the backyard is sparse so we didn't use the firepit because it was extremely dark.There aren't many houses that provide this much room but given the money you will spend, go in with eyes wide open.
