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.

DURING YOUR STAY Start your mornings taking in beautiful ocean views from the master bedroom and main living area.

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.
