Cozy island getaway

We really enjoyed our stay! This cozy little canal house was just the right size for our family’s spring break getaway. Perfect for hanging out on the spacious balcony, where you can cast a line right into the canal. It’s a great location with beach access a golf cart ride away.

Fun Family Getaway

This was a last minute weekend trip and we got lucky! The house was perfect for our family! The boys got to fish and crab off the back deck and loved the downstairs bedroom area with bunk beds. I was impressed with how well the humidifier worked downstairs because previous places have had humidity issues with downstairs bedrooms. This house was also right by the beach, bait shop,and restaurant. We always love seeing the ice cream man! It was great!

Would not recommend

This house says it sleeps 12, but it’s extremely small and not enough seating. The stairs are old and a few steps have come undone from the railing. The downstairs area smelled funny, the AC unit did not work well and is not nearly as nice as the pictures online present. The main AC unit quit working and the house was 82 degrees at the end of June….with children and It took the host 12 hours to respond and by that time the air had turned cold again. There was half a roll of toilet paper, no paper towels, no dish washing liquid and not enough towels or wash cloths. For the amount paid, I expected at least the bare necessities to be provided and the air conditioning to work.

About the host

Hosted by Baleigh Wood

Host profile image
Originally from New Jersey but now living in ATX with my family, travel has always been a passion of mine. I have traveled to over 40 countries and hope to continue on to many more! Beach towns have always held a special place in my heart, which is why I am so excited to share my beach home with others. I am a Realtor in Austin and have found that connecting with my clients is what makes me love my job so much. Being a host has allowed me to combine my passion for travel and love of meeting new people. I look forward to sharing that with others!

Why they chose this property

Sea Isle is such a unqiue spot. The beaches here are a bit calmer than downtown Galveston but just as convenient. You can drive on certain sections, park in lots outside others that do not allow vehicles, or walk over right from the community. From Memorial day to Labor day there is a pass required pool for guest access which is so great! The marina offers restauarnts and bars for easy dining in the neighborhood, a private fishing pier and boat ramp, playgrounds, parks, tennis/pickleball courts, and so much more!

What makes this property unique

Our top deck is amazing! Expansive and perfect for hanging out after a long day under the sun.
