About this property

Beach/Fish Lovers Canal House Paradise-Casa De Frio

This updated canal property is located in the sought-after community of Sea Isle. Open concept living inside with a great deck for coffee in the morning and a downstairs bar and professional outdoor kitchen. Set towards the end of a sparkling canal in Sea Isle, this family-friendly home with two bedrooms is the perfect location for your next getaway to the Texas Gulf Coast. The fishing fans in your crew will love casting their lines from your private dock, and the beach lovers will enjoy the Sea Isle Beach access points, less than 5 minutes away, or tie your boat up to the dock, and you are right down the canal to West End Marina then West Bay. You can tie your boat to the dock or use our water mat and floats to soak in the canal.

Casa De Frio sleeps 6 comfortably in two bedrooms. Hi-Speed Wifi throughout the house with Flat Screen TVs and in the living room and downstairs bar. Google Chrome w/ remote and Xfinity Flex provide access to your TV subscriptions.

Community Amenities: Guests have access to the Sea Isle community pool for a fee (open Memorial Day thru Labor Day), as well as the community boat launch and lighted fishing pier with the provided keys.

Pet Policy: Up to 2 pets are welcome in our home with a $75 fee. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel.

Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

House Highlights:

This is not a corporate rental but our vacation home that we share with like minded beach water lovers. Sunny and open living room with light wood floors that easily sits 8 guests. Vaulted ceiling and large window facing the canal keep the room light and bright. There is seating for six at the table and an extra four bar stools. Updated kitchen with granite countertops and propane supplied gas stove. Most Sea Isle properties are electric only.

The Master bedroom has a comfy queen size bed and a beautifully appointed walk-in shower. The second bedroom sleeps 4 with two bunk beds. The upper deck has shade or a beautiful view of the canal to enjoy the morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

The downstairs patio is equipped with a professional six-burner gas grill for your steaks or fajitas, a two-burner cooktop to fry up some fish and shrimp, and a full-size griddle for breakfast omelets. Cooking options are endless with this professional setup! Equipped with two Bose speakers to play your favorite tunes while grilling and having a cold one. You can watch your favorite sports on the adjustable flat-screen TV at the bar.

Enjoy fishing right off the private dock under two lights, and an underwater green light or beach enthusiast can also clean up with the outdoor shower after the day at the beach.
Sea Isle subdivision offers a lighted fishing pier, swimming pool ($100wk. fee), children's playground, tennis court, boat launch and one of the island's finest restaurants.

And for a family dinner out, the West End Marina and Restaurants are right around the corner for a top-class, no clean-up Gulf Coast diner. For a casual, family-friendly trip to the Texas Gulf Coast, let this Sea Isle Beach destination be your family’s next vacation.

Best we ever stayed at

My wife and I stay in the Galveston area several times a year. This is without a doubt the most comfortable, clean, and just incredible place we have stayed in. We have been looking for a place that we would stay every time and I think we found it.

Fantastic Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Casa De Frio! Immaculate and comfortable, a short drive to the beach, and the upstairs deck catches shade and breeze in the afternoon and evening. If you like to cook, this place is great. Nice gas (!) stove in the kitchen and a large gas grill, gas stove burners, and a flat top in the outdoor kitchen downstairs. The house was such a delight -- we’ll be staying here again!

Cozy Canal Home

We had a terrific weekend stay at this home. It was the perfect set up for my daughter and her three friends, all could sleep in the same room. They listen to music on the downstairs patio and floated in the canal. Grill was great for cooking fajitas! Cute and cozy!

Great Place!

Nice and cozy house. Outdoor area is nice for relaxing, cooking or fishing. The restaurants/bars convenience store, community pool, fishing pier and bait shop and beach are a quick golf cart ride away. Neighborhood is quiet and full of friendly people. Only minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Galveston if that’s what you’re into. Highly recommended!

Great property!

My husband and two young daughters booked this property for a quick beach getaway. Steve was very communicative and when we arrived we were pleased with how clean and nice the property was. It is in a great spot on the canal with close access to the beach. The house itself was well stocked and very clean. Super cute too! It was a perfect spot for my family. We would definitely book it again!

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second time this year staying at Casa de Frio, and once again, we left knowing we'd be back. My husband and I celebrated the Christmas holiday at the beach, and Steve & Maritza's home provided us with the perfect spot for us to cook our holiday meals (love that outdoor kitchen, gas stove, and well-stocked kitchen!) and just simply relax. Steve and Maritza even put up a Christmas tree that added to our holiday spirit! Such a thoughtful touch. We hope to be back again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Maritza Botsford

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 and and a couple fur babies. We have always enjoyed the salt life fishing and going to the beach. Living in Houston, Sea Isle is only an hour and a half to our vacation paradise.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house after an exhaustive year long search just in the Sea Isle subdivision. We immediately fell in love with the open concept, new updated and the finer details the house offered. the house offers the best of beach fishing while being on the water. Of course we added our own touches to make it ours. We enjoy sharing the property with friends and family.

What makes this property unique

We love the tight knit community and all the amenities Sea Isle has to offer like the West End Marina & bait house, Sand Bar Restaurant & Bar, lighted fishing pier, swimming pool and tennis courts.
