Beachfront Home Perfect For Family Vacations
Welcome to Leeward Retreat!
This beautiful beachfront home is nestled in cozy 'Sea Isle' which is approximately 25 minutes from Galveston. You will have easy access to the restaurants and attractions Galveston offers while enjoying a more private feel at the beach and incredible ocean views from the home.
THE HOME You are just steps away from the beach. From the backyard, take the private path through the dunes for a short walk to one of the best beaches that Galveston has to offer. Easily take breaks throughout the day to enjoy cooking and eating together around the large island that joins the kitchen with the family room. The open floor plan combines kitchen with the family room and the beautiful views of the ocean so that you never feel secluded from the action.
BEDROOMS This home features five bedrooms to allow ample space for large families or reunions with extended families and friends. The master bedroom is located on the main level and has a king-size bed, en suite bathroom with dual vanity and walk-in shower as well as an ocean view and direct access to the upper deck. Bedroom #2, #3, and #4 have one queen-size bed each and are all located on the main level with the master bedroom. Bedroom #5 is located on the top level with stairs leading directly to the family room and features two bunkbeds with two single beds each and one additional single bed.
DURING YOUR STAY Start your mornings taking in beautiful ocean views from the master bedroom and main living area. Indulge in endless days at the beach or head to town for one of the many attractions that nearby Galveston has to offer. Utilize the fully stocked kitchen or grill your favorite meats or veggies on the charcoal grill provided for guest use on the lower patio. Relax at night curled up on the couch together or take a dip in the hot tub with room for up to 4 people and additional seating for many more on the lighted lower patio to enjoy the evening sea breezes. This is a perfect house for friends and families to enjoy the beach and build memories together.
BEACH ACCESSORIES STOCKED AT THE PROPERTY The home is stocked with beach items to enhance your experience and reduce the number of items you need to purchase and pack for your trip. These items typically include boogie boards, sandcastle toys, beach umbrellas, etc. Due to the nature of beach items, we are unable to guarantee all items are available or in pristine condition. Although we restock these items on an ongoing basis, they are used by guests and do incur wear.
Need beach chairs, a beach canopy, or a golf cart during your stay? We have a local company that rents these items. They can deliver these items and pick them up at a reasonable rate. Their contact information is listed under 'Local Rentals' in the Local Guide section of our guest app which is made available upon booking your reservation.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Pros: enough room for everybody, great location and beach access, and nice yard for our dogCons: the interior of the home does need extensive repair (which I shared with the property manager) that include what I would consider potential tripping hazards for young/old visitors, mold repair, and extensive painting and resurfacing
The house was perfect for our stay. The host was great with communicating everything we needed to know about the property to make our stay seamless. This was a great get away for my family. Thank you!
Had an amazing stay. Pictures of house and views are accurate. House was clean, nice kitchen full of supplies and the AC was refreshingly cool after hours at the beach.
Love this place! Right on the beach, everything you need and plenty of room for everyone! And the host is the best! Very helpful and communicative. Hope to be back there soon!
The house was awesome! My 4 grandsons loved being upstairs in the bunk room! The Primary Bedroom is spacious and the ensuite bath/shower was fantastic! With kitchen open to family room, it was easy to prepare meals and still be a part of the family. Everything about the house was great and I would love to stay there again!
Loved the property and would stay again. Did have concerns about previous reviews in regards to mold but the property management quickly responded there was no issue and addressed all questions on the matter and was satisfied with their response.The space was perfect for 5 adults and 3 teens. The open area was great and the large kitchen island was great for family meals.We loved the fenced in yard for our pet.The location and access to the beach was ideal. It was quite and away from the crowds.
Communication was great, plenty of room for everyone, and 30 seconds from being in the water. Everything you need.Only thing I would say is they need to have someone come through and do a light bulb replacement everywhere inside , many lights aree needing replaced. But this did not take away from the experience at all, we will be back.
Our family ended the summer at this beautiful home located right on the beach, which was one of the highlights of our trip. The bonus--it was very quiet which made for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.
The home is very true to the listing information and is very spacious with the 5 bedrooms. The fully stocked kitchen and large island were delightful and suited all of our culinary needs.
Also, loved the big living room seating area, the hot tub and all of the games--both indoor and out. The beach umbrellas, toys, and tackle were also a plus.
I would absolutely do a repeat and book Leeward Retreat again!
We stayed here for a long weekend with our adult children and grandchildren. We loved the proximity to the beach and the outside shower to rinse off before going back in the house. The downstairs area was great for us to play games once the kids were asleep to keep the noise separated from them. The only negative is the kitchen supplies really need updating. The kitchen pans, silverware, cooking utensils, etc. all were lacking. Everything else was great.
House had great view and easy access to beach. Interior needs lots of work. Looks like baseboards were water damaged. Many broken exterior lights. Did not realize house only had parking behind garage doors. Did not have parking under the house like most of the beach homes built on stilts have. We had 5 cars and could barely park 3 at the house.
My husband and I planned this trip to celebrate our only child's 30th birthday. The weather didn't cooperate very well and the gulf experienced a sargassum outbreak, but we didn't care! It was fabulous to sit on the deck and watch the waves roll in.You can definitely tell the house is a rental and that some renters have treated it as such. We couldn't get the ice maker to work, there is some mold in the house, and a broken floor tile in the guest bathroom but the location is absolutely perfect! It was wonderful to have access to the pier where we went crabbing.There are tons of restaurants to choose from and I highly recommend Katie's Seafood House! Doc Holiday's was ok.Communication with the property management was excellent! All in all, I recommend staying here! The house is huge and easy to get to!
Our 3 generational family of 8, ranging in age from 21 to 78, had the pleasure of spending a 3-day weekend at Leeward Retreat.
Prior to check-in, we found NewCentury Vacation Homes most accommodating in planning our trip.
The location of the house is phenomenal-directly on the beach with a lighted path to the sand and beautiful 24-hour views of the Gulf. The fenced yard was ideal for our miniature Schnauzers. We all enjoyed the hot tub and hammocks on the lower level.
Great eating areas both inside and out. Inside, the open living/kitchen area worked well for family time.
Incredibly well-stocked kitchen for all cooking needs.
The 4 bedrooms on the main level were ideal for our family, but the upstairs bunk room would also be handy for those traveling with children.
When we plan another overnight trip to Galveston, we hope this house is available for us to make our home away from home!
The property was lovely and clean . It was right on the beach which made waking up in the morning a pleasure to sit on the veranda drinking coffee .The house had everything anyone would need. The kitchen had all the amities needed to cook and also to drink .My husband and I have rented houses in Galveston two to three times a year for the past 20 years.i have to say this one ranks on top of our list we will rent it again.The host was so nice and responded to us immediately with questions .
The location is great. We love this area of Galveston. It’s a bit slower paced and the beaches aren’t typically crowded. The views from the house are very nice! Plenty of space for two families. We had a little hiccup but it was taken care of immediately! Check out processed was the easiest we have ever had! Thank you for allowing us the use of the house. It was a Mother’s Day weekend for the books!!!
Property needs TLC, mostly inside, but outside as well. Pictures do not tell the story here, missing the finer details. Great place on the beach, but there is a month of Sundays worth of detail work neede to restore this place to what it once was. The devil is in the details.
This beach house has a great layout for family gatherings with the large island, furnishings, and outdoor space. It’s well equipped with beach chairs, fishing poles, games, towels. Kitchen is great.
