About this property

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 is professionally managed and well-stocked so you can pack light, rest easy, and fully enjoy your vacation.


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 8 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.


NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES

You will have access to the neighborhood fishing pier which is an excellent place for both fishing and crabbing. In addition, there is a community pool open 7 days a week in the summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day. You will need to purchase a pass from the HOA office which is open M - F from 9AM - 5PM and located next to the community pool. The pass typically costs $100 but may vary. Although we are unable to provide the phone number for the Sea Isle HOA office in this listing, their phone number and address are provided in our guest app.


STOCKED ITEMS

This home is well stocked starting with a kitchen that has just about everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals. Just bring your favorite ingredients! All beds are made prior to your arrival with clean sheets and freshly laundered hand, bath, and beach towels are provided. You will also find the home is stocked with a starter kit including necessities such as coffee, paper towels, and toilet paper. These items are intended to make your initial arrival comfortable before having the chance to go shopping. You may need to purchase additional supplies depending on the length of your stay and the size of your group.


CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT

Check-in time is 4PM on your arrival date. Please do not request an early check-in time. If you arrive to the island before 4PM, please utilize our guest app to find one of the many restaurants or attractions Galveston has to offer. These can serve as an excellent meeting place for members in your group and a fun way to start your trip.

Check-out time is 11AM on your departure date. Please adhere to this departure time so that our staff has adequate time to prepare the home for the next guest. Late guest departure from the home may result in additional fees.

A Location and Space For Everyone

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.

Leeward Retreat Was A Treat!

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!

Fun at Leeward Retreat!

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!

Great house in an awesome location! We stayed here with our family of four and some of our extended family, as well (10 people total). We had a great time at this house.

Fantastic kitchen

This is a fabulous home for families. The kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen EVER. The huge island that seats 12 is perfect for allowing multiple cooks at a given time. Great location. Great layout. We would love to stay here again.

Lovd it! Will stay here again!

Absolutely loved the property and all amenities. The owners were great and very polite. We typically rent a house in Galveston every year and will definitely come back to stay again! It is perfectly located on the West end of the island and has access to a community pool and fishing pier. Beach access is only two houses away for main access and a short walking trail away from the back yard.

Fantastic Beach house

We loved being beach front in this beautiful, well stocked home. The house is well cared for and had almost everything we needed. Stores were not too far away so it was easy to pick up supplies. The downstairs area with hot tub was a great place to relax out of the sun. VRBO made renting long distance a simple process.

Great House

Perfect house for families with kids and pets. Big plus was the fenced in backyard to contain the toddlers and dogs. Plenty of beach toys and chairs. Hot tub was great. Fishing equipment was not really useable so I would recommend to bring your own like we did.
