I orchestrated a weekend stay for my extended family of 15.
The good: house had games so the kids never got bored, the canal was also a good source of entertainment for the children, we fished, caught crabs. The beds were comfortable, It was raining so we weren't able to take advantage of the kayak but the kids were ready!!! The owner was very responsive. The community pool was nice since the beach didn't look good during our stay.
The bad: First, there is a fee if there are more than 12 people (be aware) I was instructed to venmo (anything outside of VBRO makes me apprehensive) I paid the fee- this was first time for me to have such a large amount of people going. Three days before the planned trip I had a family member cancel. I reached out to the owner and and informed there was that the fee was non-refundable. Second, The house has a smell almost like mildew, the smell stuck to clothes after the weekend had to wash everything twice. There is a $200 fee for the pool key (to be paid by venmo)- you get $25 back.
Third, there were so many rules, if I get the oven dirty I would be charged. I understand the need for clean, but the home was not immaculate by any means. There was scuff marks on the walls, dirt in some of the corners. It would not be that much of a bother if the rental agreement I had to sign I was told to make sure I put everything back as pictured.
I would probably not stay here again which makes me sad because staying on the canal was a nice change

Loved the room in the house! Plenty of bedrooms and beds. Two areas to hang out plus a good deck. Lots of things for the kids to do including kayaks, paddle board, air hockey, fooseball, and shuffleboard. Kids were also able to fish in the canal. Good location, clean neighborhood, close to the beach. Would stay again!

My family stayed at Terramar Beach for a short spring break get-away. The house was great for our needs with plenty of space to spread out. The kayaks and paddle board were great and we loved the easy accress to the canal and the pleasant walk to the beach. Found everything we needed to make our stay comfortable there,

Not sure how all of this works, but VRBO does not have any flexibility on check in times and check out times.......even when there is no bookings before or after the weekend rentals. Next time, I will look at booking direct with renters and not go through a major company

We rented this property to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and brought our adult children and grandchildren. The communication with the manager was excellent, she was very quick to respond to emails, checking in was very simple, the home was very clean and well equipped dishes, towels, coffee pot, etc. all of us had a blast fishing and kayaking in the canal. It’s a very short walk to the beach which we also enjoyed! And the neighborhood is very quiet and enjoyable, I would definitely recommend this place for any family get together. You won’t be disappointed!!!!!!!

The location of this house makes up for other shortcomings. We loved the canal access and quick drive to the beach. Fishing, kayaking, and canoeing were really fun, as were the fooseball and shuffleboard downstairs. It was nice to have something other than just the beach as an activity. It’s definitely a fixer upper and the owners have done a decent job but with some of the other newer homes around, it seems like it could be updated a little more and the updates be done a little better (paint splatter on tile in downstairs bathroom, doors aren’t completely painted, etc) and the deck/porch/balcony is dilapidated. When we arrived the grass was very overgrown and the yard is full of stickers (our poor pup had them all in his hair); the landscapers came on Sunday morning and did not seem to care that were loading cars or getting the kayaks in the water, they just kept mowing and blowing the grass. Kitchen is missing some essentials (at least for us as we planned to stay in and cook). There weren’t any cookie sheets, no hand mixer or whisk, cheese grater (we left one), or corkscrew. There was only 1 dish towel and no cleaning supplies like Clorox wipes or cleaning spray. The description says sleeps 20 comfortably but that is a stretch, we ended up with 14, instead of our original 18, and we were glad as the 18 would have been difficult and tight. All in all it was just what we needed for a quick weekend getaway. Everyone had a good time and it really was a nice stay.

Let me start by sharing all the GREAT things. First, the house is located in a great subdivision. It was far away from the seawall that you don't get the traffic or the noise. Second, it was close to the front of the neighborhood. Third, it was located RIGHT next to the park, pavilion, and community pool. All within walking distance (like 1-2 minutes). Next, the house has the canal in the back so you can jump in the water AND they provide 2 kayaks (heavy duty), a paddleboard, and a canoe! That was a selling point for me!! You can't use the canoe while using kayaks or paddleboard (no extra paddles). The house is close to Seven Seas grocery store and another gas station. Go eat at Shrimp N Stuff food truck. Their food was yummy! Back to the house - the owner left trash bags and dishwasher pods. The house came with 2 rolls of TP in each bathroom along with towels. It was nice the house came with a W/D and detergent so you can wash towels. Bring extra detergent and softener if you plan to wash. The BBQ pit came in handy. Bring extra tailgate chairs if you want to hang out on the deck and fish.
Now, for the things that could have been better. For the size of people the house accommodates they need a MUCH BIGGER fridgerator. It is very small and there is space for a bigger fridge. Not all outlets appeared to work. The dishes in the house were not all clean and some restrooms could have been cleaner. There is no dustpan only a worn out broom. You have to pick up stuff with a makeshift scoop or a broken vacuum cleaner. The downstairs outdoor patio lights didn't all work. So, we all had to cram onto the one side to fish by the lights that were working. There could be more comfortable seating in the living room for everyone to watch a movie/tv. Lastly, there could be something installed to soak up moisture in the house. Each morning we woke up the kitchen (particularly) was extremely damp. We had to wipe off containers, boxes, floors, and some food items. That was a bit inconvenient. I understand our location to the water, but that has never been an issue at past beach houses where I've stayed.

Spring Break 2022
Our family and our friends family had a blast at the Terramar house. Plenty of room for all of us and our 2 dogs. We fished a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed being on the canal. The kids had a blast with the kayaks and we brought our golf cart to take around to the beach. The weather was cold and it did rain one of the days we were there but it didn’t stop the fun. We even had a big crawfish boil. We absolutely loved it and wished we could’ve stayed longer. Thank you Maria for such a wonderful getaway 💗

The overall condition of the property is dilapidated. This was by far the worse property I have ever stayed at. This beach house was located on a canal that was a breeding ground for flies, gnats, and TEXAS SIZED MOSQUITOS. However, the flies were the main problem due to both their aggressiveness and their overwhelming numbers. It was biblical. (a s@!t load of flies) Furthermore, the only things really new in the house where the electronics. The overall condition of the house was terrible. This VRBO platform doesn't allow me to upload pictures. A picture is worth a 1000 words; and words can't describe not only the safety hazards at this property, but the run down condition of it as well. The concrete foundation has cracked so bad in the back of the house, by the canal that the wall of the back of the house on the top floor is about 1.5-2 inches lower than the rest of the floor. If you can picture the back of the house sagging. I'm no structural engineer, but when the crown molding has cracks on the top of the wall that usually is an indicator of a foundation issue; I stayed here June 21-25, 2021 .The pictures of the property are misleading. but in hopes that the owner will make the much needed repairs to the property to make it safer, cleaner, and a more pleasant experince for future guests.: VRBO GALVESTON TX NIGHTMARE RUN !!!

I'm a hard working, tax paying, 49 year old, college graduate, married for 24 years and proud father of 3 beautiful daughters. I'm old school, conservative, Christian and God fearing. I have an unapologetic sheep dog mentality for ALL. If you do better than we do better. I'm not a fan of uploading my life to the internet This is the one exception to that rule. In order to truly understand the gravity of the poor condition of this property you need to see proof. I'll let you the VRBO community be the judge. You have been warned.
In short, I performed a whole house treatment with a commercial flying insect bait that I got from one of my church members. All the flies were dead the next day. I can't decribe the overwhelming swarms of "canal" flies. Also, The ac broke. Rather than the owner/host calling out a 24hr tech, I worked with the host. I ended up fixing it, Sheepdog. I also cut myself on the worn deck. VRBO agrees I should get a refund. The owner wont comply, she has ignored all their requests to refund my money. SAD SAD SAD

We had a wonderful stay at Maria's Terramar Beach property. The home is very clean with plenty of room to spread out. It is a lovely little community, the home sits right on the canal, and the beach is 2 minutes away by car. The beach is clean and we all had fun playing in the waves. It was a perfect place for my extended family - mom, five siblings, and a few adult kids. The kayaks and paddle board were so much fun that we didn't even get the canoe out. We drove into Galveston city and had dinner one night and take out pizza another. I definitely recommend staying here.

The house is full of details that makes a family gathering a very fun experience. The place is very spacious, allowing privacy for the different age groups and also allowing group activities as well.
The marina is beautiful, and is great for fishing, canoeing or kayaking (included in the house) or just enjoying the view.
The furniture is very comfortable and is very well equipped with all your needs during the stay.
When we arrived there was an insignificant incident beyond the owners control, however the communication was excellent and it was taken care of immediately.
I recommend this house and the administrators, they truly go out of their way to make sure your stay is a pleasant and very fun one.

I recommend this house and the administrators, they truly go out of their way to make sure your stay is a pleasant and very fun one.

VRBO GALVESTON TX NIGHTMARE RUN !!! hazards. electrical, hvac, covid 19
The overall condition of the property is dilapidated. This was by far the worse property I have ever stayed at. This beach house was located on a canal that was a breeding ground for flies, gnats, and TEXAS SIZED MOSQUITOS. However, the flies were the main problem due to both their aggressiveness and their overwhelming numbers. It was biblical. (a s@!t load of flies) Furthermore, the only things really new in the house where the electronics. The overall condition of the house was terrible. This VRBO platform doesn't allow me to upload pictures. A picture is worth a 1000 words; and words can't describe not only the safety hazards at this property, but the run down condition of it as well. The concrete foundation has cracked so bad in the back of the house, by the canal that the wall of the back of the house on the top floor is about 1.5-2 inches lower than the rest of the floor. If you can picture the back of the house sagging. I'm no structural engineer, but when the crown molding has cracks on the top of the wall that usually is an indicator of a foundation issue; I stayed here June 21-25, 2021 .The pictures of the property are misleading. but in hopes that the owner will make the much needed repairs to the property to make it safer, cleaner, and a more pleasant experince for future guests.: VRBO GALVESTON TX NIGHTMARE RUN !!! Casa Palmera-Terramar Canal Front home
I'm a hard working, tax paying, 49 year old, college graduate, married for 24 years and proud father of 3 beautiful daughters. I'm old school, conservative, Christian and God fearing. I have an unapologetic sheep dog mentality for ALL. If you do better than we do better. I'm not a fan of uploading my life to the internet This is the one exception to that rule. In order to truly understand the gravity of the poor condition of this property you need to see proof. I'll let you the VRBO community be the judge. You have been warned.
In short, I performed a whole house treatment with a commercial flying insect bait that I got from one of my church members. All the flies were dead the next day. I can't decribe the overwhelming swarms of "canal" flies. Also, The ac broke. Rather than the owner/host calling out a 24hr tech, I worked with the host. I ended up fixing it, Sheepdog. I also cut myself on the worn deck. VRBO agrees I should get a refund. The owner wont comply, she has ignored all their requests to refund my money. SAD SAD SAD
