Discover your ideal Galveston getaway at our charming waterfront home in Sea Isle. Nestled right on the canal, this split-level retreat offers a unique blend of relaxation and recreation, making it perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends looking to create lasting memories.
Waterfront Oasis: Enjoy the serenity of canal-front living with your very own private boat dock. Whether you're into fishing or relaxing, this waterfront paradise has you covered. The spacious top deck is an entertainer's dream, whether you're playing cards together or simply soaking in the picturesque views.
Beach Proximity: If you're a beach enthusiast, you're in luck! The pristine Galveston beach is less than a mile away, making it a breeze to spend your days sunbathing, building sandcastles, or taking leisurely walks by the shore. The home includes two outdoor chairs, a rainbow umbrella, a boogie board, and sand toys for you to enjoy.
Community Perks: Sea Isle has a lot to offer. Cool off in the community pool or take the kids to nearby parks for some outdoor fun. (Pool pass can be purchased at the POA Office next to the pool). Additionally, you'll find the West End Marina just a short walk away, providing access to a marina shop, restaurants, and bars, adding extra convenience and entertainment options to your stay. Friday is karaoke night!
The bottom floor can only be accessed from the front or back ground floor and is one large room equipped with 1 queen bed and 2 twin bunk beds. The bottom floor has a window AC unit and a few space heaters for use if need be. We try not to freeze out the window AC unit so please be patient with it and keep the temperature above 68degrees. There is a full bathroom on this bottom floor with an intimate standing shower. This bathroom is connected through to the laundry room and both have concrete flooring for any sandy toes that may go through. We have a dehumidifier running in this room to help with Galvestons humidity but please keep in mind that this space is often more hot/humid than the upstairs level. The bottom floor is ideal for a kids room but is also spacious enough if you are planning a trip with multiple families!
We provide a Tide pod for our guests but if you plan on doing multiple loads of laundry please plan accordingly. In the laundry room we have a complimentary pair of outdoor chairs, a beach umbrella, and a few beach toys for you to enjoy!
The bottom level walks directly out to the private boat dock, boat lift not available, and is ideal for those who enjoy fishing! Just a heads-up—the boat dock does not have any lighting installed. We recommend bringing a flashlight if you plan to be out on the boat dock after dark. If you plan to bring a boat, please let us know ahead of time so we can provide a boat launch key (if lost there is a $200 charge applied). We do not track tides or provide fenders, ropes, cleats, etc so please bring whatever you may need for your boat with you.
Access to the top deck and top floor is by a shallow-stepped staircase on the outside of the home. The top deck is AMAZING! So much space for the whole group to enjoy together and covered to avoid the elements. There is plenty of seating for the whole group to enjoy relaxing together out of the sun after a long day at the beach :)
Here you will find the lockbox where the guest keys are located. The living space is an open concept area where the dining, kitchen, and living room flow easily together. There is also a futon here for additional sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is well equipped with LOTS of utensils and appliances. Waffle maker, blender, crock pot, coffee machine, as well as plenty of serving dishes. We try our best to keep this kitchen stocked but please let us know if something needs replacement.
There is 1 queen bedroom and 1 king bedroom on the top floor connected by a full bathroom. The bathroom upstairs is a bit more spacious and gets great natural light through the windows. The top deck has Central AC & Heating. The top deck HVAC system was replaced in 2024.. Our home has plenty of character—and a few quirks that come with age. On hotter days, things can get a little toasty, so we appreciate your good humor and patience!
A few things to note: Provided items are... all bed linens, bath towels, starter set of shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, toilet paper, dish soap, dishwahser pod, coffee filters, and paper towels. We do not provide... cooking oil, pantry items such as salt&pepper, coffee grinds, and beach towels. Bathing towels for the bottom level are located in the laundry room. Bathing towels for the top level are located in the bathroom closet.
Both TVs can be connected to your streaming accounts. The Sea Isle community does have a pool for residents and guests (Memorial Day to Labor Day) and a pass can be purchased at the Sea Isle HOA office next to the pool.
Sea Isle is still dealing with the destruction after Hurricane Beryl hit. CenterPoint frequently shuts the power off to work on neighborhood power lines. We do our best to update our guests if there is a known power issue, however sometimes CenterPoint does not provide a notification. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our guests. Please give us grace.
Outdoor Fun: The spacious yard is an excellent space for outdoor games, making it the ideal spot for friendly competitions or just unwinding after a fun-filled day at the beach. Feeling like making smores and a campfire? We have a fire pit ready for you!

Please Note: In response to recent guest feedback, we want to be transparent about the unique conditions of our location. Galveston’s hot, humid climate—especially during hurricane season—can sometimes attract pests, particularly in canal-front homes with ground-level rooms. We maintain regular professional pest control and inspect the home frequently, but due to the natural environment, occasional sightings are possible. We do our absolute best to minimize this, and appreciate your understanding as you consider if this home is the right fit for your stay.
Book today and let us host you in this picturesque Sea Isle retreat – your gateway to Galveston's beauty and serenity!
