    Our extended family enjoyed our Galveston beach trip at the Palmera House. The beds were comfortable. The big island in the kitchen was great for prepping food, eating and keeping needed items on hand. The neighborhood pool was clean, close and refreshing. Beach access was a convenient drive. The owner was very accommodating and let us add our dogs after they were left off of the original booking. She does ask that you show proof of flea prevention before approving the dogs. Many items needed updating and attention. Some were safety concerns like the weathered decking and railings and the large foundation crack off the back by the canal. Some were more functional like the lack of space to keep toiletries in the bathrooms. And some were more comfort related like the unusable outdoor cushions. Owner was notified and appreciated the feedback. If your group is used to super clean updated spaces you might want to consider another vacation home. If you are ok with an older home that needs some TLC this might be a good option for you.

    The house is in a great location but is in need of some much needed repairs and is a little bit expensive for what you are actually getting

    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
