On The Bay In Sea Isle: Fishing, Family, Fun!

4 bedroom, 4 bath house located right on the bay in Sea Isle. Bring your fishing gear and step right out into a fisherman's dream. Fish from the dock, kayak or wade. When you've caught your limit, prepare your catch at the convenient fish cleaning station. Then wash up in the outdoor shower. If fishing is not your thing, relax in our shaded hammocks or get some sun on the upper deck. Visit family friendly Sea Isle Beach just 6 blocks away, easily accessed by car or a golf cart rented nearby. Catch up with the locals at nearby Jamaica beach, just a short drive down the road. You can also rent kayaks or Stand Up Paddle Boards. Both of which are great ways to enjoy the gentle waters of the bay in our back yard. And when you are all worn out from the multitude of activities available here, sit back and relax in the peaceful comfort of our nicely appointed home.

This was our second stay at this property. We had a wonderful stay both times, and the fishing was great. The house was exactly as described, and the kitchen was well-equipped with cooking amenities for us to cook for a large family. Communication with the host was excellent as he was very responsive and made the entire process easy from check-in to check-out. This great place to stay on Galveston, and we would absolutely stay here again!

Review of Our Thanksgiving Stay in Galveston

We spent Thanksgiving at this property and had a mix of experiences. On the positive side, the location is ideal for fishing, with a fantastic patio featuring lights for nighttime use, making evenings very enjoyable. The scenic views were stunning, and the beds were comfortable, with two bedrooms offering full-size beds and two with single beds, which perfectly accommodated our group of two families (4 adults and 4 kids). However, cleanliness was a significant concern. The kitchen drawers, where utensils were stored, were dirty and had to be cleaned, as were the pots. The closet was filled with trash, requiring cleaning before we could hang our clothes. Additionally, the house only provided 14 plastic plates and bowls, which was disappointing for serving a Thanksgiving dinner, as real plates would have been much more suitable. For future travelers, we recommend bringing extra toilet paper, kitchen towels, laundry detergent, and your own coffee, as these items were either insufficient or not provided. Overall, despite some inconveniences, the location, views, and amenities for fishing made our stay enjoyable. This house is a good choice for families looking to enjoy a fishing getaway, but cleanliness and kitchen supplies could use improvement.

Great Experience!

If you’re looking for a great place to stay for a large group, THIS IS IT! 🎉 This home is open concept with high ceilings. We had a big group and we never felt crowded. The bedrooms are a great size for a family. This was the perfect place for my group! The home is beautiful and was very clean upon arrival! The large upstairs deck was ideal for the kids to hang out and the fishing was GREAT! Joellyn and Clay are wonderful hosts! They were very easy to get a hold of when I had a question and were very accommodating! We will definitely be booking this house again for our future Galveston trips! 🏝️

Family vacation

We had a ton of fun at this location! The only thing that I would ask is they provide more toilet paper and towels. And I would like to say that if you’re going to swim, please make sure you have swimming shoes on and not to go barefoot, there are some barnacles and other sharp objects. We enjoyed the kayaks as well as the grill. The host was wonderful to work with, and I highly recommend.

Men's Fellowship Fishing Trip

Perfect location. Patio is literally on the bay. If you like fishing, kayaking and wade fishing. Caught several nice speckled trout. All the amenities were on point. Property Manager and Owner were both Rockstars. Will definitely be making it a tradition with my family as well...

Wonderful!

The property is right on Galveston West Bay. We fished from the dock and caught many speckled trout. The home was very accommodating for a large family group. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, bowls, silverware, knifes, and pots and pans. The house maintained a cool temperature in the middle of the extreme heatwave. Always a good experience. Been coming here for years.

Could not have asked for a better view!

The view was absolutely gorgeous!!! The lot & home very nice size. We enjoyed & used all the space. Communication was great and timely. Cons: the downstairs and stairs could use a good power washing, the storage room needs a clean out. Cushions for downstairs would have been great. Towels and wash cloths were few & dingy. Pots & pans not desirable. Front door needs fresh coat of paint. BUT the view and upstairs sitting area made up for all the negatives.

Great location and great amenities

We stayed here over Mother’s Day for a quick get away from Houston. The house is much bigger than I thought and came stocked with just about everything you need, including two different kinds of coffee machines. The upper level porch was massive and the covered portion allowed us to enjoy the storms and lightning roll in. Fishing was great right off the back dock (there is a live bait shop in the community, which was really nice). We’ll definitely be back and enjoy it with a larger group at some point.

Thanksgiving Holiday

We rented the house for a 5 night stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house is large, 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, furnishings looked new and the house was very comfortable. Plenty of cookware and utensils for cooking. The large deck was nice for fishing into the bay. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We love it here!

We've stayed at this property several times now, and really enjoy it. We love that it's right on the bay, but since it's in Sea Isle the beach is just a short drive or walk away. The fishing is often really great, and when it's not, there's a nice swing and a hammock for enjoying the amazing sunsets. The house itself is warm and welcoming, and we always feel right at home. The couches are comfy, and the bedrooms and bathrooms plentiful. And honestly, this is the reason we keep coming back. And honestly this is the reason we keep coming back. There are other bigger and fancier houses a plenty, but none of them are as relaxing and friendly. Thanks for the lovely stay.

Fishing was great, could use some upgrades

Property is on a prime location on the bay, perfect for those wanting to fish and crab. The rooms were nicely laid out with three bedrooms having their own bathrooms. Unfortunately, the downstairs area ‘s furniture was torn and had holes in most of the seats, so really unusable. We had to bring our own foldable chairs . It would have been a nice gathering area to socialize and even eat, but no table to eat at either. Additional amenities downstairs would have been nice like a fridge, and more seating. The upstairs deck needed repairs, and some 2x4’s were placed over a hole as a temporary fix. It looked extremely unsafe. There was no outdoor furniture on the upper deck uncovered area to enjoy the nice weather or sunsets, such a shame for a beautiful location. Overall, it was a great place ti fish, but lacked some of the amenities that would have made it a 5 star rating.
