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
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.

Loved the property and would stay again. Did have concerns about previous reviews in regards to mold but the property management quickly responded there was no issue and addressed all questions on the matter and was satisfied with their response.The space was perfect for 5 adults and 3 teens. The open area was great and the large kitchen island was great for family meals.We loved the fenced in yard for our pet.The location and access to the beach was ideal. It was quite and away from the crowds.

The house was very nice house however, I did not care for the ring camera at the stairs. A better location would have been on the laundry door facing the stairs. I understand the need for one, but the location seemed a little intrusive. The kitchen and living room was awesome, it was set up nicely for large gatherings. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. There was a lot of things provided like chairs and beach equipment. Overall, it was well stocked with beach equipment.

Location was great complete with fabulous views of the ocean. The master bedroom shower was used by all—it was wonderful. House was clean and well-stocked for our multi family group. The upstairs deck was nice and when it got too hot, we used the covered downstairs area which was great. Still had an ocean view. The fenced in yard was perfect for the toddler and dog—it allowed us to relax more. A couple of small issues were addressed immediately, and much appreciated! Would have given 5 Stars but there is a mold problem primarily in the downstairs laundry room that needs to be addressed. Super easy check in and checkout!
Taken on upstairs deck. The pelicans flew over everyday.
Short pretty path to the beach.
Great fenced in yard.

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.

We've rented various houses 14 previous times. This was the best supplied house as far as kitchen needs. Plenty of silverware, dishes, bowls.. and steak knives for everyone! Now that the grands are adults with partners, the house had plenty of options, even for the odd one night extra guest. The large fenced yard is an added bonus traveling with dogs. I can't recommend this house enough.

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.

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!

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.

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!
