Fisherman's Paradise-Closest Canal Rental to Bait,Gas,Restaurant& Bar by Boat

BYOB (bring your own boat) to fish or just come to relax in this charming 4 bedroom 2 bath with great downstairs party area. Granite bars upstairs and downstairs. TV's both upstairs and downstairs with cable. 2 minutes to bait shop, marina, gas, store, restaurant and bar by boat; 200 yards from house ..5 minutes you are in the bay..Great fishing from our dock with underwater and overhead lights for nighttime fishing. There is a cleaning area on the dock for cleaning your catch of the day. Also - the longest fishing pier on the island is available to you; a 4-minute drive.

Our canal house is the best of both worlds. We know it will be a choice for fishermen, but 'beach bums' will love it too. A great beach is only 1/2 mile away -- a couple of minutes by car. Then when you return home after a day at the beach and are relaxing by the canal, you still have that beach feeling. You will love it!!

The house has a screened-in deck extending the living/kitchen area overlooking the canal. There is also a small deck for sunning. There is a recently updated, fully functional kitchen with granite counters, microwave, oven and stove, fridge, dishwasher, dishes and utensils for your use.

Downstairs is a great place to party or just relax; there are party lights, a bar, TV, gas grill, swing, and lots of seating.

WiF and Cable.

There is a hot and cold outside shower with privacy.

Sea Isle offers a lighted fishing pier, swimming pool ($100wk. fee), children's playground, tennis court, boat launch and one of the island's finest restaurants. All of these are only a few minutes from the canal house.

Central air and heat.

It was just what we were looking for. We were able to take our fishing boat down and tie it off right behind the house. Fishing off the back deck was great. Grandchildren loved it. It was close to beach to drive over. love the property,

Perfect stay at great location on canals

The property was exactly as described, with a welcoming host who made our stay memorable. We enjoyed the comfortable, well-equipped kitchen and bedrooms, ample shaded outdoor seating, and convenient laundry facilities. Dock fishing and using the crab pots provided were family favorites. The quiet location near the harbor marina was excellent. We enjoyed using the grill and propane fry pot for outdoor cooking and would gladly stay here again. Thank you Barry!

Perfect Quick Getaway

It was a nice home right on the canal water. We had fun fishing all day and night, swimming at the community pool and just a short drive to the beach. Barry was very attentive, and we enjoyed his home which was in a great location. Will definitely be back in the future!

Family fishing vacation

This was the best fishing vacation ever. The Grandson fished ever day and way until the night. The house was clean and very roomy for 8 people. Easy to get to and away from all the people in town so you could just relax. Would go back in a heart beat. Also, the Owner was so nice to work with and very Welcoming.

Great Property

I have been traveling to Galveston for 20 years and have stayed at many properties mostly in Sea Isle and Jamaica beach. This property is an absolute bargain! It was extremely clean and has everything you could possibly want. We caught a ton of fish and crab right off the dock too. We will be back!!

Great family gathering place!

The house was perfect for family. The screened in porch was great for meal time and the covered area under the house was awesome! There was a constant breeze, plenty of seating and the party lights at night were festive and fun. The fishing was great too. Our kids and grandkids loved the crab traps and had so much fun fishing. The underwater lights made it fun to watch the fish at night. And the live bait/fish barrels were awesome! We had a great week!

Did not want to leave !

We had such a blast and the house was GREAT! Great location in a cute and friendly neighborhood. The owner was excellent and all communication was a breeze! We went for my sons senior trip as a graduation gift, my husband and myself plus my parents and my son and his two best friends (18year old boys), they had so much fun fishing the canal that they never even used electronics (except to take pictures of their catches). We will be back for sure!

Great Canal Home

Seemed way larger than 1000 sq ft! Soooo much seating and tables to eat/play games on. Definitely will contact Barry to stay again! Had a great weekend and caught plenty of crabs and fish! LOVED the screened in porch in the deck/balcony! Could sit outside and enjoy the breeze without bugs/mosquitoes taking you away!; Not many rentals have this! Again, we had a great time and the house was perfect for our family!

50th Birthday Trip was GREAT!

The house was super comfy and clean. The ability to fish right off the back deck was the main reason we booked and it did not disappoint except the fish didn't cooperate. But, that was not the homes fault. The screened in upper patio was wonderful in the evenings and at sunrise. Had my morning coffee out there every day. Only issue with the house was that the green fishing lights advertised in the post for the home were not operational. But, that didn't cause any big problems. Barry the owner was quick to respond and always friendly to deal with. If you are looking for a comfy and relaxing getaway, definitely book this home!

Beautiful place

The house was clean and very pretty. I love the screened in upstairs back patio. It sits over the water. Great place to sit in the morning and drink coffee without worrying about bugs. If I had to give a couple of critiques, it would be that the bathrooms are very small with stand up showers. However, that was clearly stated in the description. Otherwise, the place is beautifully decorated and comfortable. I would stay there again.

Cute House & lotsa Trout!

House was nice (4 bedrooms were great for our big group!) and had everything we needed. Plenty of downstairs areas to sit and relax. Keeper trout swimming in the green fishing light at night! Barry was a great host, good communication- even when we had a couple hiccups that were our fault. Nice and understanding. House is close to the marina and the restaurant food is great. Subdivision pool looks to be recently re-done and all new chairs and loungers. Kids loved that it was 9ft deep at one end.

All around amazing!!

First off, there are just too many things that we loved about this house - the outdoor shower, the location on the canal, the bedrooms, the lower party area, the grill area, all of it was great! The kids especially loved being able to shower outside. All the unexpected extras were amazing as well...crab pots! I mean seriously?!?! That was super fun... careful, those crabbies can pack a mean punch, LOL. We loved discovering so many cool things about the place. Only thing I would add would be a couple of large mixing bowls but that's just because it's what I am used to. Barry was super responsive to all our questions. 5 of 5 stars. I would recommend this place to anyone! Thank you!

End of Summer Trip

This was our third trip to stay in the area, first time in this house and neighborhood. The house was great! Plenty of space to move around and with a busy toddler that is a must. Big detail to me as a parent is the house is decorated but not filled with breakable nicknacks. The screened in deck was AWESOME! We ate breakfast on it and hung out every night safe from mosquitoes. Beds are on the smaller side (no king) but sleeps two adults comfortably. We didn't have much luck fishing but there are underwater lights provided for those who really commit. Plenty of seating downstairs to hangout and always had a breeze. Trips to the beach are quick and easy. The boat ramp was easier to access than some other neighborhoods and the baitshop is right there next to it. Also we checked out the restaurant in the neighborhood. Great food and 1/2 gallon margaritas to go! All in all this stay was comfortable and relaxing which is all we needed. The owner was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. We will definitely be coming back to the location and hopefully this house.

Fabulous Downstairs Area

We stayed here for my fiance's 40th birthday/staycation with the kiddos before school started back. It is an older beach house so you can see the wood damage on the walls in areas from Hurricane Season but the house overall was as cute as could be. Clean and the Horseshoe shaped kitchen with granite counters was my absolute fav part of the house. The kids enjoyed playing our ring toss game we brought with us on the upstairs screened patio off the kitchen and living area. We had one hiccup with our bed in our bedroom, the guests before us broke the box spring, but Barry came to help remedy the situation so that we were more comfortable. The Swing downstairs with the hidden tv above the kitchen area was my favorite. Enjoyed having a downstairs toilet as well. The lights above the seating area downstairs are so cute, we enjoyed playing cards while the guys fished off the canal. My only true complaint would be that the showers upstairs are very tiny, feel like you can barely move around easy, however there is a downstairs shower with hot and cold water and it does have a door to close. I enjoyed a few showers downstairs looking up at the stars and having plenty of room to not bang into the wall down there. Wish I had an outdoor shower like that at home lol It is about a 25 minute back to the main part of the seawall for grocery stores and activities but that didn't bother us as we were there to just chill and hang out. We brought groceries with us and only ate out a few times during out week in Galveston. Great Host, cute 4 bedroom casa Would stay again if in the area.
