About this property

Beachfront Home Perfect For Family Vacations

Welcome to Leeward Retreat!

This beautiful beachfront home is nestled in cozy 'Sea Isle' which is approximately 25 minutes from Galveston. You will have easy access to the restaurants and attractions Galveston offers while enjoying a more private feel at the beach and incredible ocean views from the home.

The home is professionally managed and well-stocked so you can pack light, rest easy, and fully enjoy your vacation.


THE HOME
You are just steps away from the beach. From the backyard, take the private path through the dunes for a short walk to one of the best beaches that Galveston has to offer. Easily take breaks throughout the day to enjoy cooking and eating together around the large island that joins the kitchen with the family room. The open floor plan combines kitchen with the family room and the beautiful views of the ocean so that you never feel secluded from the action.


BEDROOMS
This home features five bedrooms to allow ample space for large families or reunions with extended families and friends. The master bedroom is located on the main level and has a king-size bed, en suite bathroom with dual vanity and walk-in shower as well as an ocean view and direct access to the upper deck. Bedroom #2, #3, and #4 have one queen-size bed each and are all located on the main level with the master bedroom. Bedroom #5 is located on the top level with stairs leading directly to the family room and features two bunkbeds with two single beds each and one additional single bed.


DURING YOUR STAY
Start your mornings taking in beautiful ocean views from the master bedroom and main living area. Indulge in endless days at the beach or head to town for one of the many attractions that nearby Galveston has to offer. Utilize the fully stocked kitchen or grill your favorite meats or veggies on the charcoal grill provided for guest use on the lower patio. Relax at night curled up on the couch together or take a dip in the hot tub with room for up to 8 people and additional seating for many more on the lighted lower patio to enjoy the evening sea breezes. This is a perfect house for friends and families to enjoy the beach and build memories together.


BEACH ACCESSORIES STOCKED AT THE PROPERTY
The home is stocked with beach items to enhance your experience and reduce the number of items you need to purchase and pack for your trip. These items typically include boogie boards, sandcastle toys, beach umbrellas, etc. Due to the nature of beach items, we are unable to guarantee all items are available or in pristine condition. Although we restock these items on an ongoing basis, they are used by guests and do incur wear.

Need beach chairs, a beach canopy, or a golf cart during your stay? We have a local company that rents these items. They can deliver these items and pick them up at a reasonable rate. Their contact information is listed under 'Local Rentals' in the Local Guide section of our guest app which is made available upon booking your reservation.

GUEST APP
Each guest receives access to our user-friendly guest app which is tailored to the specific details of this home. Our guest app will help you easily prepare for your trip and get the most out of your stay.

These items are intended to make your first day comfortable so you will need to plan on purchasing supplies on your way to the home or after your arrival.

Great Layout Needs Lots of Repaira

The location and layout of the house was Great. The house needs lots of repairs and a good paint job inside and out. The house was very musty until we got it cooled off but could still smell the musty odor. Laundry room was so musty and moldy we had to leave the door open to go into it.

Galveston Wedding

House had great view and easy access to beach. Interior needs lots of work. Looks like baseboards were water damaged. Many broken exterior lights. Did not realize house only had parking behind garage doors. Did not have parking under the house like most of the beach homes built on stilts have. We had 5 cars and could barely park 3 at the house.

A Location and Space For Everyone

Communication was great, plenty of room for everyone, and 30 seconds from being in the water. Everything you need.Only thing I would say is they need to have someone come through and do a light bulb replacement everywhere inside , many lights aree needing replaced. But this did not take away from the experience at all, we will be back.

Great Family Time!

My husband and I planned this trip to celebrate our only child's 30th birthday. The weather didn't cooperate very well and the gulf experienced a sargassum outbreak, but we didn't care! It was fabulous to sit on the deck and watch the waves roll in.You can definitely tell the house is a rental and that some renters have treated it as such. We couldn't get the ice maker to work, there is some mold in the house, and a broken floor tile in the guest bathroom but the location is absolutely perfect! It was wonderful to have access to the pier where we went crabbing.There are tons of restaurants to choose from and I highly recommend Katie's Seafood House! Doc Holiday's was ok.Communication with the property management was excellent! All in all, I recommend staying here! The house is huge and easy to get to!

This is a fabulous home for families. The kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen EVER. The huge island that seats 12 is perfect for allowing multiple cooks at a given time. Great location. Great layout. We would love to stay here again.

Lovd it! Will stay here again!

Absolutely loved the property and all amenities. The owners were great and very polite. We typically rent a house in Galveston every year and will definitely come back to stay again! It is perfectly located on the West end of the island and has access to a community pool and fishing pier. Beach access is only two houses away for main access and a short walking trail away from the back yard.

Fantastic Beach house

We loved being beach front in this beautiful, well stocked home. The house is well cared for and had almost everything we needed. Stores were not too far away so it was easy to pick up supplies. The downstairs area with hot tub was a great place to relax out of the sun. VRBO made renting long distance a simple process.

Perfect house for families with kids and pets. Big plus was the fenced in backyard to contain the toddlers and dogs. Plenty of beach toys and chairs. Hot tub was great. Fishing equipment was not really useable so I would recommend to bring your own like we did.

Fun at Leeward Retreat!

Our 3 generational family of 8, ranging in age from 21 to 78, had the pleasure of spending a 3-day weekend at Leeward Retreat. Prior to check-in, we found NewCentury Vacation Homes most accommodating in planning our trip. The location of the house is phenomenal-directly on the beach with a lighted path to the sand and beautiful 24-hour views of the Gulf. The fenced yard was ideal for our miniature Schnauzers. We all enjoyed the hot tub and hammocks on the lower level. Great eating areas both inside and out. Inside, the open living/kitchen area worked well for family time. Incredibly well-stocked kitchen for all cooking needs. The 4 bedrooms on the main level were ideal for our family, but the upstairs bunk room would also be handy for those traveling with children. When we plan another overnight trip to Galveston, we hope this house is available for us to make our home away from home!

Great House in Great Location!

We loved our stay here. It is the perfect size for a group who wants the flexibility to be at the house or on the beach without much coordination. Being just a short walk over the dunes to the beach meant that, as parents, we could trade off time between our beach going big kids and our napping baby with ease. Having beach toys provided also meant we saved space in our car on the drive down (just wish umbrellas or a tent were also provided). Overall, we had a great time and will definitely consider staying here again on our next Galveston trip!

The photos dont quite do this property justice. It's better in real life. The kitchen is beautiful and fully stocked. Bedrooms and bathrooms have everything you need. Everything is in good working order and quality. Management folks were super responsive to a small electrical issue we were having. House is right on the beach in a quiet neighborhood.

Family Time

We stayed here for a long weekend with our adult children and grandchildren. We loved the proximity to the beach and the outside shower to rinse off before going back in the house. The downstairs area was great for us to play games once the kids were asleep to keep the noise separated from them. The only negative is the kitchen supplies really need updating. The kitchen pans, silverware, cooking utensils, etc. all were lacking. Everything else was great.
