The extended family enjoyed a long weekend before embarking on a cruise - relaxing way to start a holiday. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and packed with everything you might want. Everyone agreed the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with gadgets and dishes for home cooking. Swimming from the back door was amazing, and we enjoyed the grill, the kayaks and the paddle boards. All around fabulous - highly recommend.

My family of four and five close friends had the most wonderful time staying in Bella. Words cannot describe the enjoyment we experienced as a family fishing and crabbing, literally at Bella's back door. The home was spacious and comfortable both indoors and out. We do a lot of family style cooking while on vacation and the kitchen was fully prepared and lacked nothing we needed for an enjoyable home-cooked meal. The local stores had everything for all our needs without having to leave the area which allowed us more time to unwind under Bella's roof, while at the same time downtown Galveston was just a short drive away. The community's pool was never crowded and just a little longer walk brought you to the Gulf where the local beach always had plenty of space. Access to the bikes, paddle boards, and kayaks were a huge plus, with all the safety equipment onsite as well. Plenty of outdoor games were also included from can-jam to corn-hole, and connect-four to horse-shoes. A wide variety of board games were also "at the ready" when the mood hit. One of the reasons we chose Bella for our vacation were the reviews about cleanliness. We were very pleased to find that they were correct. Upon entering Bella we found a home that was clean, neat and tidy. Kudo's to the housekeeping staff! She had the feel of your own home away from home. To sum it up, if you are looking for an enjoyable place to stay, I would call Bella "all inclusive"!

The hosts were fantastic communicators leading up to our stay and during our stay. This was one of the cleanest houses we have stayed in(we’ve been renting for over 20 years). The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and pots/pans for all our cooking needs. The sunset views from the house were directly looking at the bay every night. The stand up paddle boards for our teens were a huge hit and they took advantage of them every day. The fishing off the dock was great (caught trout every night) and there was plenty of space for those not wanting to fish. Beach access right across from the subdivision entrance was also less crowded than other beaches. We can’t wait to go back!

Bella is beautiful & in an ideal location for fishing, kayaking, beach time & family time.

The property was nice and clean, check in process was simple. Enjoyed our stay. Was thinking of a future stay at this property but was just informed of two items that were damaged that we were unaware of. Glad we bought accident insurance.

Very nice home! One of our favorites so far! I think we’ll be back to this location. Loved the layout and location!

The beach vibe at Bella is AMAZING! You feel in “vacation mode” the second you drive up. We loved that Bella song as down the strip from Galveston as it was extremely quiet and relaxing. The canal and beach were awesome!! Regarding the listing… spot on! The kitchen items, bathroom items, pictures were all extremely accurate/spot on. We loved our stay and WILL be back!! Thanks Bella for a great family/friend weekend!!

We experienced a true escape from hectic city schedules, and felt transported to a far away place. The place itself is gorgeous and comfortable. It's close to Terramar Beach, and we loved kayaking on the canals. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to entertain and enjoy. Communication with our host was easy and quick, but only because I'm chatty and ask lots of questions, not because we were lacking anything. The younger couples found it romantic and wanted to stay longer. We were thrilled to see out family gather there and enjoy each other. I have to mention the comfy beds. Finally, we loved the magical sunsets, lounging on the patio.
