We had a wonderful stay at Reel Salty. It was perfect setup for a multiple family stay. The house was clean and everything we needed. We were able to enjoy the kayaks and paddle-boards which were a nice bonus. Having a marina close by with restaurant/bar was very convenient. We would definitely book again.

Beautifully updated canal house

Such a cute, cozy home! Perfect space for our family of 7, with a whole bedroom to spare. We have been to many Galveston rentals, and this was definitely one of the more nicely updated we have stayed at. The owner was super friendly, and offered us an early check-in and a late check-out. The beach was an easy golf cart ride away. Our kids really enjoyed crab hunting in the canal.

We had our first full family vacation since 2014 and the house was absolutely fantastic!! The house was clean and comfortable.

Great getaway

Place was very clean and looked as described. Great decorations and plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Very close proximity to beach. The bathrooms could use some more ways to hang things such as in the shower or hand towels as currently the only way to hang stuff is on the back of the door. Would definitely rent again if we go to Galveston again.

Little getaway

Great place to stay for our trip. My crew loves fishing and this location was great. We caught crab and catfish off the deck at the house and all sorts of fish from the pier within the community. Plus the beach is a short trip across the street. There is a marina and restaurant/bar within the community. Everybody loved it!

About the host

Host profile image
After many year of renting houses in Sea Isle, we are blessed to be able to own 2 houses in the neighborhood. Reel Salty is our rental, and the other we enjoy with our family and friends. We know you will enjoy Sea Isle just as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Reel Salty is newly renovated. It is pretty much a brand new home. It sits on the canal where renters can enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning, or fishing at night.
