The peaceful living space is filled with natural light from the sunny windows. Interesting architectural details create a unique and dramatic vaulted ceiling that’s highlighted with rustic wood finishes. The whole family will love to kick back here in the evenings for your favorite TV show.
The open-concept kitchen allows for plenty of socializing. Natural wood cabinets are topped with gleaming granite countertops. A convenient peninsula bar has bar seating for two, while a glass-topped table makes a cozy breakfast nook. As always, everyone ends up in the kitchen— and your whole crew will love gathering here over blueberry muffins and fresh-squeezed OJ in the mornings or snacks and cocktails before dinner.
A pass-through bar has even more seating and leads into the spacious and bright game room. With a full-size pool table, a comfy futon, and sweeping views of the canal below, this is a family-favorite spot to unwind with a game or two— and maybe a friendly wager. A washer and dryer are located nearby.
The first of three bedrooms is located just off the living area, allowing for sparkling views of the canal. This bedroom has a queen-size bed and a twin-over-twin size bunk. Lots of windows flood the room with bright, shimmering Texas sunshine.
The second bedroom is a camp-like bunk room and is located off a short hallway. With two twin-over-twin bunks, plus another built-in twin-over-twin space, there’s room for six people in this room. Across the hallway, the master bedroom has a king-size bed and a full ensuite bathroom. Another full bathroom with a tiled step-in shower and a beautiful soaking tub is accessible from the hall.
Nestled into the quiet community of Sea Isle, this home boasts tons of outdoor space to soak up the sun or relax in the shade. The second-level deck wraps around the entire home and provides plenty of unobstructed views of the shimmering canal and the peaceful neighborhood.
On the ground level, the covered barbeque area has a charcoal grill and outdoor shower. The covered boat slip is ideal for parking your boat or simply casting your fishing line off the dock. An additional fridge, sink and half bath are also conveniently located here. And when your crew is ready to explore, the dining, shopping, and entertainment of the Galveston Strand are a short drive away. The Sea Isle Beach access point and West End Marina and Restaurants are also close by. Gather up your whole group and let them know you’ve found your new home-away-from-home on the Texas coast.

We had a great time at the property. The location was nice and quiet and close to the beach. We enjoyed fishing, we caught a lot by the dock. The property can use a bit of an upgrade but overall we had a wonderful family time and the house was big enough to accommodate our group. The host was very responsive.
It was an enjoyable stay. Plenty of sleeping space for large families. We enjoyed seating outside in the evenings and fishing but everything we caught was fairly small. We would stay here again!
Location was great and very close to the beach and outside of the main Galveston strip. So, if you like having beach space or not being ontop of other beach goers, the west side of the island is a beautiful place to stay.
So nice to have my family in the same spot. They fished played pool and we all went to the beach and found some awesome sea shells. Host was great. Would do it again

Overrated
The location an boat slip were good . The beds were not good a the lights downstairs were not much help . The pictures were deceiving but for the price we paid it was ok but as far as summer rates way over priced
My husband and I took our kids and a few of their friends (14-17) for a couple nights during Spring Break. The house was small but we did not feel cramped at all. Loved the amount of beds. The pool table was a hit. The only things that bothered us was the wall a/c unit in pool room smelled of eggs/sulphur, the kitchen isn’t stocked with important tools such as measuring cups/spoons, wine opener, and tongs, and the real kicker was the grill was rusted completed out and we were to be cooking burgers for 12 people when we checked in. I did report it right away kind of expecting them to send a replacement but just got a response of “thanks for letting us know”. These were minor things but would’ve been nice to know so hopefully this helps the next guests.
We checked in at 4pm no problem. When entering the home the A/C was warm not cooling the house . The sink was having a hard time draining any water down. The fridge door did not stay sealed shut causing the food to stay warm and the dish washer would not shut all the way and had a smell coming from it .cooking was a challenge due to the stove Having a error code so the oven didn’t work
