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.

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!

Stunning house. Most responsive host I’ve ever experienced. Never waited longer than 5 minutes for an answer or instruction. Short walk to the beach through a wonderful Old Galveston neighborhood. Beds and linens were very comfortable. Bring extra towels if you plan to swim/hot tub. Great outside seating & eating areas.

Amazing house

We came to Galveston to attend the Dickens on the Strand and celebrate my sister’s 50th birthday. We had an amazing time. We normally rent a beach house but I was happy to find a historic home with room for our family. We had a wonderful time. The home is historic and so charming. We will definitely stay again.

The host is fantastic! this antique home is fantastic and very well supplied. plenty of room for a large group. We went for the Lone Star Motorcycle rally and the location is very well suited to both sides of the rally (walking distance). The pool is beautiful and the neighbors are very friendly.

Perfect UTMB reunion get together

Four of my old study group were able to stay together, along with one whole tag-along family (mine). We all had our own rooms and plenty of space in the kitchen and living room and porch to talk over the good old days. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had the necessities. The basement « apartment » was perfect for louder pre-teens who also made good use of the pool. It was fantastic to maximize the time we spent together. We used the hot tub. The garden was lovely to hang out together in during the day. Really was perfect!

Family getaway

My husband and I, adult children and two young grandchildren stayed for 5 nights. We enjoyed the pool which is the only way to tolerate the August heat. The flies and mosquitoes were bothersome, so be sure to take your repellent. We grilled steaks and shrimp on the home grill and ate gumbo from a local restaurant. We had everything we needed. The downstairs has an extra living area which we didn’t utilize.(It was kinda spooky down there. LOL! Yes, we would stay here again.

Perfect Girls Trip

We had a girls trip to Galveston. We have been friends for 60+ years. It was a perfectly designed home for use. It had 4 bedrooms in main house and a garage apartment meant with bedroom at ground level. The main level is one flight of stairs above ground level. I’ve stayed in several VRBOs and this was my favorite, the kitchen was well appointed with everything you would need & the bedroom and common areas were comfortable and clean. The Lagoon swimming pool was the absolute BEST! Just exactly as shown! The hot tub over flowed into the pool creating the perfect water temperature. Be sure to read information the host left so the pool with remain perfect.. would definitely recommend this property and we all look forward to returning here. Thank you to a great host!! B

1st all we wasn't able to get in when we arrived not happy about that. For the amount we paid i expect way better then what it showed the kitchen had roaches the refrigerator smelled bad the shower curtain need to be replaced also the bathtub drains was stopped up and random people showed up that we had no way know who they was to fix stuff and clean the pool which we should of been told about in advance he was just there when we return we have kids and the random man could of been hurt for doing a job we knew nothing about. I feel like we should be given compensation for all are inconvenient.
