Canal front home w/ underwater green lights, pool,boat ramp, near the beach

Welcome to The Hammock House! Come enjoy the sun and the sea in this beautiful canal front home in picturesque Terramar Beach on Galveston Island! The neighborhood also features a boat ramp, making it easy for you to drop in your boat and be in West Galveston Bay in minutes. This canal home is the first canal off of the bay. Tie your boat at the dock (boat slip available, boat lift is not available), swim or sunbathe in the canal or fish from the deck featuring two underwater green lights. the neighborhood also features a pool. Plus the beach is only 1/2 mile away!

A canal front, two level home with a private dock with two kayaks and two stand up paddleboards for you to paddle out to watch the breathtaking sunsets. Located on the beautiful west end of Galveston Island, one canal from West Bay, fish right off your private dock with green lights!

This waterfront space sleeps 12 comfortably, sits on the beautiful Martes Canal in the desirable Terramar Beach Subdivision and offers easy proximity to both the Bay and to the Beach. Private boat ramp and neighborhood pool!

The sleeping space downstairs has private entry and includes a queen size bed and two sets of twin bunks beds, perfectly set up for a family to enjoy all that waterfront living has to offer! Also in the space is an open concept studio style living and dining area.

The upstairs portion of the home is a 3 bedroom, two bath home with bar seating, dining area, and living area with large TV with Roku to log into your streaming services. Large outdoors patios on both the front and back of home allow for enjoyment of the sunsets, or watching the family fishing downstairs.

The kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster, utensils. AC and ceiling fans with additional fans if needed. The living areas have a large, flat screen TV for you to link your Netflix, Hulu, etc.

The home has multiple nice sized decks directly on the canal. A propane grill is provided (propane not included, but many times there is propane from a previous guest). Jump in the canal steps from your door! A swim ladder is available for ease of getting into and out of the water. Two kayaks and two stand up paddleboards are available for you and your family to explore the canals of Terramar and paddle out to watch the sunset. Grill utensils are provided. Watch the family as they reel in their fresh catch, or enjoy your favorite beverage in our large adirondack chairs. Edison lights provide just the right lighting to enjoy those warm summer nights.

We have a private dock for fishing, swimming, kayaking, etc. It includes a fixed ladder to make it easy for you to get out of the canal after that refreshing swim or just sunning on your float. We have two kayaks and two stand up paddleboards for our guests to enjoy. Enjoy a cup of coffee from the deck while enjoying the beautiful bay views.

Great place!

We really appreciated having the kayaks and paddleboards available to use in the canal. And the beach was just a short drive away with great access! Awesome place. Master bathroom tub wouldnt fill up, so I didnt get to enjoy a jacuzzi soak like i had hoped. But overall the house was in good working condition and cery clean. Really enjoyed our stay with 3 families and kids.

We almost died!

Before arriving I had reached out to the owner directly to confirm the property was in great condition due to hurricane beryl that had recently hit Galveston on July 8th. I was reassured the property was in perfect condition, never flooded or had any water damage. To my surprise on arrival, during the middle of the night, when I opened the door to the property I was hit with an overwhelming smell of mold. There were humidifiers running with instructions taped to the humidifiers to not turn off or move the humidifiers. Due to my time of arrival I had no choice but to try and make it work with my family for the night. We sprayed Lysol and it did not phase the smell of mold. The property looked very clean however the smell was overwhelming to the point of causing headaches,coughing and nausea. After being there less than 5 hours I packed up my family and we left. I reached out to the owner directly and he was very defensive, called me a liar and said he wasn’t giving me back any money and then he offered to give me back 2 nights which did not account for the additional fees charged by vrbo; he should have done the right thing and refunded the entire amount due to his property not being held to normal living standards. Vrbo was not helpful as the owner had offered to correct the issue and they required pictures but it is impossible to take pictures of a smell of mold/mildew without spending time or tearing out walls to locate the problem. The mold/mildew was not an issue that

Excellent rental

Immaculately clean and listing is as advertised. Comfy beds, nice views and including partial views of bay even though it is on the canal. Covered porch is very nice this time of the year!
