About this property

Reelview | Canal Front Retreat

  • Welcome to Reelview, a charming canal-front retreat nestled in the sought-after Sea Isle subdivision of Galveston, Texas. This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sleeps up to 12 guests and is thoughtfully designed for families, boaters, and groups looking to relax and reconnect by the coast. With stunning sunset views over the bay, multiple outdoor living spaces, and direct canal access, Reelview offers the perfect balance of comfort and adventure.

    Step out onto the expansive wrap-around deck where you’ll find ample seating, a dining table, and lounge chairs—perfect for soaking in breathtaking sunsets and waterfront views. Downstairs, the shaded ground-level patio features Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, ceiling fans, and an outdoor shower—ideal for rinsing off after a day on the water. A fenced yard adds privacy and a safe place for children to play. Please note: the homeowner’s boat is in the lift and not for guest use.

    Inside, the main level is warm and welcoming with an open-concept layout bathed in natural light. Vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, a cozy sectional sofa, and a large flat-screen TV create the perfect gathering space. The fully equipped kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and bar-top seating for four, while the dining area—with seating for six—overlooks serene canal views. The stone fireplace adds charm, though it is not available for guest use.

    Reelview features five well-appointed bedrooms, offering flexible accommodations for families and groups. Two primary king suites have direct access to the deck, with the main suite featuring a private en-suite bath and walk-in shower. A third bedroom includes a queen bed, and the fourth is a playful bunk room with two sets of twin-over-twin bunks—perfect for kids. The fifth bedroom offers a king bed with bay views and a spacious layout. Two additional full bathrooms, including one with a shower/tub combo, provide extra convenience.

    A standout feature of Reelview is the lighthouse-style viewing room, accessed via a spiral staircase. This cozy, elevated space offers stunning 360-degree views of the bay and canal—ideal for morning coffee, quiet reflection, or evening sunset watching.

    Whether you’re fishing off the dock, enjoying the view with a glass of wine, or exploring the Gulf Coast by boat, Reelview has everything you need to make your Galveston vacation unforgettable.

Great place to stay!

Everything was great from the beginning! The house is adorable and looks exactly as pictured. It was very clean and the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The upper deck is a beautiful place for morning coffee or an evening cocktail, and the dock is perfect for fishing. Great proximity to the beach and The West End Marina without it being in the middle of the crowds. Dustin was a great host and is extremely responsive. We cannot wait to come back to Sea Isle and rent this house again!

Loved the two decks. The house had everything we needed. When we were having trouble locking the front door and called to find out what we were doing wrong and they immediately called us back.

The home and property overall was great. Just disappointed that we were not able to arrange to get to use the boat slip for our boat we brought and also the fishing lights were not operable. Those items weren’t committed in the description so I can understand how they’re not responsible for it. Everything else was awesome. Well stocked, clean, great home layout.
