About this property

Reel Fun in Sea Isle! Waterfront, Boatlift, Pet friendly, Canal, Arcade Game!

Your cozy getaway awaits in Galveston at this welcoming house with everything you need to relax, fish, enjoy the canal, head to the beach, and enjoy everything Sea Isle has to offer. Free use of Boat Lift so you can bring your own boat and drop right in under the house and hit the bay (only two canals from bay so minimum no wake zone exit), Or, fish right off the deck--we've caught black drum, red fish, trout, and even flounder. Sea Isle Marina is close by with a great bait shop (live shrimp, croakers, etc.), a wonderful restaurant and when in season, crawfish on weekends. Friday night karaoke many weekends as well with frequent live music!

Pet Friendly, Canal House, underwater fish lights, 5 kayaks and life jackets, fish cleaning station, 80s Style Arcade Game (Mortal Kombat, Defender and several others) in bunk room, brand new new cool upper deck (easy on feet in the heat), upstairs BBQ pit for convenience access to kitchen, and ample outdoor and downstairs furniture for lounging, dining, napping, etc.

With three bedrooms featuring two queen beds, a bunk bed, and a full trundle pull out bed, guests have plenty of space to relax. The three bathrooms include a shower, a jetted bathtub, and a classic bathtub/shower, and an outdoor shower and bathroom downstairs, offering options for a refreshing start or a soothing soak. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of adventure or gathering for a meal, this awesome home provides a perfect setting. You’re sure to make fantastic memories with a stay at our place.

Sea Isle also boasts the longest private dock on the island and you have a private access key card to that and access (for stay fee) to community pool, hot tub, and tennis courts. The beach is only minutes away and numerous golf cart rental firms delivery to the property.

We had such a good time! Great location! Our original house we booked somewhere else, had to cancel the night before we left. This was a very last minute reservation and it worked out great. Will be back!

Relaxing and fun!

We had a great time. Fishing and relaxing outside. It poured rain most of the weekend but the house has everything you could need. Restaurants are close and recommend West End Marina for good eats.

Little house on the canal!!!

We absolutely loved our little house on the canal!!! The rooms were cozy, scenery beautiful and the kids loved playing on the dock with the swing...we had 2 issues...one was resolved very quickly with the refrigerator...it was not cooling very well but Aimee was on it and we appreciated her urgency...also, the ladder going into the water off the dock has a jagged edge and all the kids got cut on and one of out kids ended up with 4 stitches...we did tell Aimee about it...thought you might have someone sand it down...things like that happen...we know...it didn't hinder the kids from having a blast and the parents a most relaxing 5 days in Galveston!!! The accomodations are great...comfy beds, stocked kitchen, plenty of room ...we loved it!!!
Response from VrboOwner on 23 July 2022
Thank you for the 5 stars and we are glad you loved it and had a great time. The compliment on our sense of urgency on the refrigerator also means a lot to us! Sears service confirmed the refrigerator is at 100% and recharged the freon just in case. We hate to hear about anyone cutting themselves while swimming near saltwater structures like the ladder into the water. We confirmed there are no jagged metal edges on the ladder itself but were some barnacles that had attached as they do in saltwater. We removed the barnacles that were present but cant absolutely prevent them. I wish we could but have found the best way to protect against barnacles is to wear swim shoes. We certainly wish no one would have been hurt and are so glad the trip was a great one overall. We always love when our guests have a great time

This property was great for family and kids! Being able to kayak right from the back porch to fishing off the dock was great. Location was perfect to have a very short drive to the beach. Absolutely loved all the space on top deck. It also was not smack dead in the middle of all the busy in Galveston so the noise was limited to just the ocean! So peaceful, if I had any questions the host was great at responding quickly. I would definitely book this spot again for a quick get away.

It makes us so happy that you enjoyed kayaking right from ground floor, fishing off the dock, the spacious top deck, and having the beach just a short drive away. We’re especially glad the location gave you that peaceful ocean sounds without the busy downtown noise. Thank you for mentioning how responsive we were — we always aim to make communication quick and helpful. It’s wonderful to hear you’d book this spot again for a quick getaway.
