About this property

Barnacle Lodge | Canal Access, Fishing, Swimming

Fish, swim, and kayak off the private dock at Barnacle Lodge, a dreamy three-bedroom, two-bath canal front home in Galveston’s desirable Sea Isle neighborhood.

Nestled between the bay and the sugar sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, the golf cart-friendly community of Sea Isle boasts amazing community amenities such as its own private marina and fishing pier, a sparkling pool, a covered pavilion, tennis courts and a playground. There’s even a convenience store and bait shop! Savor a seafood dinner at the marina’s Palapa Restaurant. Weekends call for live music and tropical drinks at the Sandbar.

Sea Isle, a residential neighborhood with mandated quiet hours between 10 PM and 8AM, is one of the most sought-after family-friendly beach destinations in the area. Sea Isle pool passes must be purchased directly from the Sea Isle HOA Monday – Friday until 5 pm. Pool passes are not sold after hours or weekends. Please call the Sea Isle HOA to reserve your pool pass in advance.

This nautical-inspired Galveston vacation home is sure to delight your party of six with a wraparound porch, guest-use kayaks and an electric fireplace.

Barnacle Lodge’s open floor plan lets everyone relax and visit with each other whether unwinding on the sumptuous leather sofa or loveseat while enjoying a favorite movie on the TV or prepping a delicious dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen with a rolling island. Gather together at the dining table for great conversation and laughter over a shared meal

Savor the salty air and coastal breeze from your seat on the wraparound porch. Or head down to the covered patio and dock where you’ll find a table and chairs for outdoor dining. Grab one of the provided kayaks and paddle down the canal or fish off the dock. Please note that the boat slip is not available for guest use. In the evening, toast to an amazing vacation while you watch the sunset light up the sky in vibrant colors.

The spacious primary and second bedrooms at Barnacle Lodge feature wall-to-wall windows overlooking the canal, private doors to the outside and plush king-size beds. The cozy third bedroom is outfitted with a full-size bed. Stocked with plenty of fresh towels, two full bathrooms make it easy for everyone to get ready for the day’s adventures. Enjoy a spa-like experience with a deep, jetted tub. Have clean clothes every day of your vacation with a full-size washer and dryer.

Fishing and fun

The good: my kids loved fishing on the canal. It was clean. It's got everything you need fishing supplies kayaks etc. we brought a kayak not realized there are 4 at the property!! The neighbors were really nice and friendly. There were games books galore in the house which helped while the weather didn't cooperate. There was a jacuzzi tub in one bath we enjoyed. My kids loved the house! It's a little out from Galveston beach about 20 min but there's a public beach across the highway from the neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay thank you!!
