Waterfront Texas Retreat w/ Boat Slip & Game Room

Welcome to Canal Quarters, a beautiful waterfront retreat in the heart of Sea Isle. With sleeping space for 15 people, a spacious game room with a full-size pool table, a private boat slip and outdoor shower, covered bbq area, outdoor fire pit overlooking the canal and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, your family will feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Relax, reconnect, and recharge at this spacious coastal bungalow with easy, breezy Texas vibes. Don’t forget your fishing gear!

● WINTER TEXAN RATE: Escape to the Texas Gulf Coast this winter! Ask about our reduced monthly rates October 1 - March 1.

● Location: Sea Isle beach community of Galveston, Texas

● Beach Access: Just a 3 minute drive from the Sea Isle beach access parking lot.

● Community Amenities: Guests have access to the Sea Isle community pool for a fee — open Memorial Day thru Labor Day — and the community boat launch and fishing pier with the provided keys.

The peaceful living space is filled with natural light from the sunny windows. Interesting architectural details create a unique and dramatic vaulted ceiling that’s highlighted with rustic wood finishes. The whole family will love to kick back here in the evenings for your favorite TV show.

The open-concept kitchen allows for plenty of socializing. Natural wood cabinets are topped with gleaming granite countertops. A convenient peninsula bar has bar seating for two, while a glass-topped table makes a cozy breakfast nook. As always, everyone ends up in the kitchen— and your whole crew will love gathering here over blueberry muffins and fresh-squeezed OJ in the mornings or snacks and cocktails before dinner.

A pass-through bar has even more seating and leads into the spacious and bright game room. With a full-size pool table, a comfy futon, and sweeping views of the canal below, this is a family-favorite spot to unwind with a game or two— and maybe a friendly wager. A washer and dryer are located nearby.

The first of three bedrooms is located just off the living area, allowing for sparkling views of the canal. This bedroom has a queen-size bed and a twin-over-twin size bunk. Lots of windows flood the room with bright, shimmering Texas sunshine.

The second bedroom is a camp-like bunk room and is located off a short hallway. With two twin-over-twin bunks, plus another built-in twin-over-twin space, there’s room for six people in this room. Across the hallway, the master bedroom has a king-size bed and a full ensuite bathroom. Another full bathroom with a tiled step-in shower and a beautiful soaking tub is accessible from the hall.

Nestled into the quiet community of Sea Isle, this home boasts tons of outdoor space to soak up the sun or relax in the shade. The second-level deck wraps around the entire home and provides plenty of unobstructed views of the shimmering canal and the peaceful neighborhood.

On the ground level, the covered barbeque area has a charcoal grill and outdoor shower. The covered boat slip is ideal for parking your boat or simply casting your fishing line off the dock. An additional fridge, sink and half bath are also conveniently located here. And when your crew is ready to explore, the dining, shopping, and entertainment of the Galveston Strand are a short drive away. The Sea Isle Beach access point and West End Marina and Restaurants are also close by. Gather up your whole group and let them know you’ve found your new home-away-from-home on the Texas coast.

It was an enjoyable stay. Plenty of sleeping space for large families. We enjoyed seating outside in the evenings and fishing but everything we caught was fairly small. We would stay here again!

Wonderful vacation

We had a great time at the property. The location was nice and quiet and close to the beach. We enjoyed fishing, we caught a lot by the dock. The property can use a bit of an upgrade but overall we had a wonderful family time and the house was big enough to accommodate our group. The host was very responsive.

Great Beach Access

Location was great and very close to the beach and outside of the main Galveston strip. So, if you like having beach space or not being ontop of other beach goers, the west side of the island is a beautiful place to stay.
