We absolutely loved this property, the location was amazing with the canal outside your door and minutes to the beach. The house itself couldn’t have been better, the cozy beach cottage vibe is exactly what I love. The place was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you to the owners for sharing their amazing place!
What a wonderful, peaceful place to stay! Hosts were fantastic with communication, everything was laid out well, just the right size for a vacation with the grandkids. Close to a great beach spot and not a bad drive into Galveston for museums and Moody Gardens. Canal swimming was more fun for the kids than the beach! Clean and calming. Thank You!
The house is beautiful, well-stocked, and decorated. Our family enjoyed our time at the home, and we will definitely stay again. The neighborhood is quiet with many amenities. We want to thank Liz and Mike for allowing us to stay at their home!
We loved this house! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The enclosed yard was perfect for our pup. The house is nicely decorated. My husband and son and his friend had a great time fishing on the dock. The decks were so nice and the furniture out there was wonderful. We seriously enjoyed every minute of staying in this home.
This was our second time to rent this house, so we knew what to expect. House is exactly as advertised. Had plenty of room for us and our guests. We love that it is fenced so we can bring our dog. The AC is nice and cold. We love the canal since we bring our boat. We enjoyed watching Aggie baseball downstairs. The host is super quick to respond to any questions we had.
Such a perfect little getaway! The kids had an amazing time, the house was super clean and cozy, and it worked out great for both our family and our dogs. We’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely Perfect! We rent in Sea Isle quite often and this was the pick of the litter for us! Extremely clean, well stocked, perfect location and a great layout. Plenty of space inside and out. The Hinojosa's were amazing hosts with quick responses to questions. We will, without a doubt, be renting here again!
We had a great time swimming in the canal and its not far from the beach access had a good beach day and when to pleasure pier and in joyed renting and driving a golf cart around the neighborhood
We've taken a number of weekend getaways, this far exceeded our expectations.
Our host (Liz) was excellent, the property was very well taken care of, just getting a chance to relax was what my wife and I needed the most.
Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay and relax, fish a little or just read a book.
Liz was such an excellent host. The place was cozy. Had everything we could think of and then some more. A big fan of the Margaritaville machine! Our family had alot of fun, the place is very relaxing and lots of fishing. Would definitely stay here again.
Awesome house that is even better in person than in pictures (as we learned from other friends staying in area at same time). Lots of space on upstairs and downstairs porches/patio for relaxing.
We enjoyed our stay. The owners were quick to answer any questions and were very accommodating. Despite the rain we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

About the host
Hosted by Mike and Liz Hinojosa
My husband, Michael and I, would like to welcome you to our first vacation, dream home. It’s been a lifelong dream of ours to own a house in Sea Isle. Our passion for this neighborhood started 20+ years ago when we started renting vacation canal homes in this particular subdivision. Our families and our children don’t know anything else but Sea Isle and we have so many memories in this neighborhood. We bought our home in January 2020, remodeled and upgraded it. Lots of tears, sweat, pain, headaches, happiness and joy were experienced through the whole remodeling process. It took 4 long months to finish it, but it was all worth the wait and we are ready to share it with you. It's perfect for families and anyone who enjoys the bay views, the sunsets and the beach.
Why they chose this property
Our house has so much to offer. You can fish from the back yard or the neighborhood fishing pier, dine at the local restaurants, take advantage of the outdoor seating (tables on both decks), enjoy the evening breeze, take a ride to the beach and look the stars at night or just sit back and relax. We have two convenience stores within a few minutes and the beach is less than a half mile away. It's a place you can enjoy all the amenities, relax, go swimming, get a tan, eat and enjoy the sunrise and sunset.
What makes this property unique
Fully gated, propane grill, community pool, community playground, safe community, new installed outdoor fishing lights, great views from the bay. Our home and the Sea Isle Community is a place where you always see people walking their dogs, exercising, riding their golf carts throughout the neighborhood waving hello to all that pass them and enjoying the vibe. Sea Isle is tranquil, safe and feels like time stood still.
