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.

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.

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.

Rodent infestation in attic
The house itself was spacious and beautiful inside. Lots of room inside and out and a great set up. Unfirtunately, the house is not well maintained. Carpets are stained and look dirty. Floors were sticky. There was a broken chair in the master that my husband almost fell out of. The worst was we had a hard time sleeping due to rodent activity in the attic. It was nonstop at night running around and making scratching noises. It was very nerve racking and a nasty feeling. The only reason we did not leave was we had several teens celebrating my son's birthday and we did not want to ruin their time. Management never even sent anyone to check the attic. There were no bathtub stoppers for either jacuzzi tub in the house and we were told to stuff a wash rag in the drain. There was mold on the cool deck around the pool. There are no pool lights in the pool. We only had dim patio lights so had to be careful. Management told us there were automatic lights that come on to light up the pool area when it gets dark. They finally came on at 930 pm after we were done swimming and went off after 30 minutes. Not the fault of homeowners or management but the first night when it was warm we could hardly stay outside due to the amount of mosquitos. The pool table felt and pool sticks need to be replaced. We do not recommend you wating your money. Very dissapointing.

This has to be the place
From the time we got there until the time we left everything was perfect. There was enough space to accomodate our annual family reunion with people ranging from 0 - 71 years of age. We enjoyed the pool, the fire pits, the back porch, the front porch, the pond and everything around it. We only had an issue with the mosquitoes that are extremely bad and big but after we treated the yard and lit some citronella candles we were good to go. There was enough space to cook eat socialize and so much more. I can not begin to explain how perfect this space is. Russell is very responsive and answered all of my questions within minutes. I will definitely be back for another stay really soon.

Book with caution
This property is in fact large but the description is misleading. Is not 7 bedrooms. It is 3 bedrooms with other rooms like closets turned to bedrooms. The “bedroom” that connects to the master has a door behind the tv that can be opened and can see straight into the master. Lack of privacy. The carpet, the carpet, the carpet… stained! Everywhere. No one walked around without shoes as the floor was that dirty. There were dead bugs along the baseboards throughout the house. Mosquitoes are TERRIBLE. I recommend a lot of off. We could not enjoy the outdoors at all even by the pool. While there a ceiling fan fell and landed on the couch, luckily no one was hit. We notified the property manager and they promptly respond however this was my wedding weekend and we asked for maintenance not to enter as we were out and had guests coming. They sent maintenance anyway. There was someone there that every day for the 3 days we were there. It was so inconvenient. The fridge was also broken. This is a nice house and a nice property but I would never book again or recommend. As much as we paid you would think the property manager would put forth a little more effort such as having the curtains on the rod and not hanging off. If you book do it with caution.
