We had an amazing time. The Sea Isle Vibe is the reason you go to the beach. Fishing the canal behind the house at night was awesome, caught tons of speckled trout on Marker 54 Shrimplettes.Overall a perfect stay. I will 100% re-book this property in the future.

Thanks for your review! We love hearing from our guests. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
The house had everything we needed. It was a great place for our group of friends to hang out for the week. The decks were both awesome! Coffee and breakfast on the top deck and fishing off the bottom deck.

We stayed for the month of February, communication with hosts was great during our stay. House was clean, with comfy beds and well stocked kitchen. Quiet neighborhood, close to the beach, and 20 minutes to Galveston. This home exceeded or expectations. Galveston has so much history. We made great memories and highly recommend.

Thanks for the 5-star review Melanie! So glad you had a great time staying with us.
The canal was super fun to fish from and catch crab and other fish. The hosts were easy to communicate with and the house had updated kitchen appliances that were very nice. We enjoyed our time there and would certainly re-book this property again in the future.

Great property. Beach is within 5 min driving distance, spacious outdoor deck, great for fishing. We have a large family and do several extended family trips together. Loved that the rooms had several bunk beds allowing for the kids to all hang out and stay together in a room.
