The gigantic deck wraps around the house and provides three separate seating areas to dine, visit, lay in a hammock, or sit in a beach chair to watch the turtles below. Downstairs is an entertainer’s playground for hosting a delightful outdoor gathering. You can enjoy grilling on the charcoal covered grill, after prepping at the outdoor sink and prep area, or unwind at the large tiki bar.

This beach house is gorgeous! It looks just like the pictures and is beautifully decorated. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their stay and we felt right at home here. The host was prompt answering. Any questions I had and her instructions were very thorough prior to check in as well as at the Home itself. We enjoyed our stay here and I would definitely rent this home again.

We take a trip once a year to the beach, this has been our favorite house and host so far! The house is absolutely beautiful and huge. The walk to the beach is 2-3 minutes. Plus so close to the store! Angel responded right away, and was very nice with her thank you baskets with goodies ☺️ The canal next to the house has so many turtles 🐢 we loved standing on the balcony watching the turtles.

This location was a great place for a family vacation. Very close to the beach where you can walk or drive a golf cart. On the island we were able to rent jet skis, golf cart, find a custom birthday cake business, Margaritaville RV park has a great pool for a day away from the sand, and the ferry ride to Galveston was quick and easy. Angel was very helpful whenever we have a question or something came up. The house was great, and a perfect place to relax from the sun. WiFi was great and I was able to do video calls there as well. I would recommend this place to other families!

My family and I rented Angel’s house for a week-long vacation. The house was phenomenally kept and our host was outstanding! She provided clear instructions, recommendations to local hotspots, and was responsive throughout the duration of our stay. We will most certainly be back and recommend this house for anyone looking to stay on the Bolivar Peninsula. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The home was beautifully decorated. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. The host provided excellent tips on local eateries and attractions. Located very close to beach, this place was perfect for our weekend getaway. Watching the turtles play, was an unexpected delight. I would highly recommend Angel's home!

Needless to say, this was probably one of the best beach houses I’ve been to. Angel , our host, was super communicative and straight forward with the instructions and everything. She made things very easy and clear, check in to check out was a breeze. Will definitely be back in the future , and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful peaceful beach house , only a few steps away from the beach.

We had a 6 night stay at Casa Bella and are very impressed! The house was very homey feeling. Beautiful decor and so spacious! Very clean! Master bath has a deep tub and impressive shower. The mattress in the master offers a massage! Plenty to do for the whole family. Quick walk to the beach. Being fall we were able to use the fire pit to stay warm outdoors while the kids had more than enough outdoor space to run around and play. Fully fenced backyard was very nice to keep our fur ball happy. The neighborhood had very little traffic and we felt very safe there. Just minutes away from stores and restaurants. Angel was amazing! She responded quickly and with detail. We can’t wait to come back in the summer!

This beach house has ample parking. Most visitors rent golf carts to get around. Golf carts and private vehicles can be driven on the beach, but if parked, you must have a beach tag. Beach tags are sold at the Big Sore for $10. If traveling to Galveston, the ferry boat is about 10 minutes down Hwy. 87.
