Bahama Breeze Canal Retreat • Dock, Fishing & Water Access • 3 Min. to Beach
Welcome to Bahama Breeze Galveston! Our beautiful canal home in Galveston's west-end Sea Isle beach community is just one canal from West Bay. This 2000SF family-friendly home has four bedrooms, two baths and a loft and includes a washer & dryer. The iconic palapa bar includes a sink, fridge and ice maker and is a great entertainment area. For the fisher(wo)men in your family we have a covered 10,000 pound boat lift and fish filet station. Bring your gear and fish right from your private deck. Bring your boat and you’ll have a safe spot to dock and launch from. The beach is just a short walk or golf cart ride away.
Bahama Breeze’s ground level offers multiple spaces for relaxation and outdoor fun and with second level decks on both the front and rear of the home, there are numerous options for enjoying sunrises and sunsets.
The peaceful living space is filled with natural light from the sunny windows overlooking the canal and bay. The dramatic vaulted ceiling is highlighted with rustic wood finishes, and architectural touches offer interest throughout the home. There are TVs in every bedroom, and in the palapa for easy viewing on the canal deck. The home offers fast wifi for remote working, remote learning, and streaming your favorite show after a full day on the bay. Don't like screens? We offer a full game closet sure to delight adults and children. There are more than a half dozen seating areas inside the home - perfect to find a quiet nook to enjoy a book and a cup of coffee, or a large table to enjoy board games with the family.
The bay is at your backdoor when you stay at Bahama Breeze - you'll be boating in open water in moments! It's a pleasant 0.8 mile walk to the beach, or a two minute golf cart or car ride. Sea Isle beach is a vehicle free zone and there is a convenient parking area adjacent to the beach. The outdoor shower is wonderful for washing away a day's worth of sandy beaches. On Sea Isle's streets you will encounter lots of walkers, runners, bike riders, children and golf carts so please heed the posted speed limit of 20 MPH.
A starter supply of paper goods, coffee, soap, trash bags and detergents is included. Additional supplies may be purchased at the marina.

Thank you for this beautiful review of BAHAMA BREEZE GALVESTON! We are thrilled your family and friends had a wonderful time at the house and enjoyed the tiki bar and we would love to have you back again very soon!
We loved staying at this property. The house was very clean, tiki bar was so fun to sit at and listen to music, and it being right on the canal made it so much easier to take the boat out. The welcome snack also made for a sweet surprise. Will definitely be staying again!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We were so happy to have your group at BAHAMA BREEZE! You were so kind and wonderful to work with! We are glad you enjoyed the house on your first trip to Galveston and hope to welcome you back very soon!
We felt so safe staying here. It was nice that the house was at the end of the row/canal and the kids were easy to see from everywhere. The place was very clean and everything was in good working order. The hostess was very responsive and provided easy, detailed instructions.

Eric, it was a pleasure to host you and I will pass your compliment on to our hard-working cleaners! Please stay at Bahama Breeze again when your travels return you to Galveston!
We enjoyed this Sea Isle house and the host was very easy to communicate with. The house is roomy and open which makes it easy for a larger group. Plenty of nice furniture and seating indoors and out. Bring kayaks and fishing poles since this place is on the water! Will definitely rent again!

Thank you for choosing Bahama Breeze, Jennifer. Your group was fantastic and we would love to welcome you back again son!
I have rented from numerous properties at Sea Isle over 10 plus years and this property was the most clean I have ever stayed at. I could smell the cleanliness when we arrived. There were plenty of towels and also had great beach chairs to borrow. The layout was spacious and I loved the palapa bar underneath. Recommend this place.

Thank you Beth for reviewing Bahama Breeze! I'm so glad the home was large enough for your group and that you found everything you needed in the house for a good time to be had by everyone. Our Palapa Bar will ready and waiting for you the next time Galveston is in your vacation plans!
The house was perfect for our needs. It was well stocked and very comfortable. It was a short drive to the beach and easy to put our kayaks in right at the house. We had an issue with the smoke alarm but it was easy to contact Nicole and everything was resolved quickly. Thank you for a relaxing stay at Bahama Breeze. We loved it.
Great getaway to Sea Isle for Labor Day weekend. My family and I enjoyed a quick get away for the end of summer. The house was just the right size, well put together and very comfortable! Communicating with the owners was easy and friendly, and when we had a couple issues, they were prompt and willing to offer immediate solutions. I would highly recommend, and my teenage daughter is already asking to rent the house again!

Thank you! We loved having your group at BAHAMA BREEZE GALVESTON and are thrilled to know you enjoyed the house and had a wonderful time! Your review means so much to us and we would love to have you all back again anytime in the future!
Bahama Breeze checked all the boxes online and delivered when we arrived. The house is great, open concept with lots of character on a nice large canal front corner lot. Sea Isle is one of the best communities in Galveston, lots of amenities and direct access to the beach. The owner was attentive and easy to work with. No issues whatsoever during our stay. We will be back!

Thank you for your amazing review and kind words! It means so much to us. We were blessed to host you all at BAHAMA BREEZE and can’t wait to have you back again very soon!!
Great time! We have rented homes on the west end for 25+ years now. The property owner/manager (Nicole) is the best we have ever had. She was on top of everything from pre-check in through check out. We brought our boat and had a wonderful time. Perfect house for a family of 8. Upstair rooms are small, but worked great for teenagers. House would also be good for 2 families of four as the 1st floor bedrooms are huge. Looking forward to coming back next year.

We are so happy you loved BAHAMA BREEZE and we look forward to having you back again next year! Thank you so much for your kind review!
Really enjoyed the stay. Only 2 real disappointing points were that the gas for the grill was completely empty. It states if it runs out during stay to refill it. I wasn’t going to pay to refill something that was completely empty to begin with! Second, the fridge downstairs in bar area was warm and didn’t cool and smelled horrible like fish. Other than that, it was as advertised and we enjoyed our stay.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! Had you told me about the downstairs refrigerator not operating when I checked in with you the day after you checked in, I would have explained where to reset the breaker. As Bahama Breeze is located right on the water, the moist coastal air causes it to trip occasionally. Please always contact your host if you have an issue with your stay, we are eager to address anything that is needed to be certain that your vacation is spectacular!
House was clean and very nice, location was perfect, dock/tiki bar was a so much fun. Me and my family had a great time on a last minute trip. Nicole is a great host, very responsive. I’d stay here again for sure.
We had a wonderful time at Bahama Breeze! The area under the house was perfect for our group of grandparents, parent and 5 teenage boys. They set up under the house, listened to music, played games and grilled. The bedroom situation was ideal as well as all 5 boys fit perfectly upstairs. The two downstairs bedrooms were spacious and the beds absolutely the most comfortable of any VRBO house we’ve rented.
This is a beautiful well-maintained property and we loved every minute of our stay!
Thanks Nicole!

About the host
Hosted by Nicole Wylie
We are a family of 6 living in Houston who love visiting Galveston every chance we get. We enjoy hiking, biking and water sports. We fell in love with Sea Isle after renting a house in the neighborhood one summer and immediately began looking for a vacation home in the vicinity.
Why they chose this property
We love the soaring ceilings and all the gathering spots throughout the house. But we also love the neighborhood - it is so quiet and friendly, much different than our city neighborhood! The access to the canal provides our kids with hours of enjoyment every day - armed with nets, buckets and kayaks they will happily spend all day playing in and near the water.
What makes this property unique
Close to the beach, right on the water. A tiki bar with refreshing breezes to enjoy when you've had enough sun, and comfortable beds to collapse into when you've soaked up all the bliss you can handle for the day.
The marina and the playground are close enough for the kids to walk or ride their bikes to, and they usually do so several times a day. We love having the bar and grill in the neighborhood - the food is delicious and the vibe of the restaurant is perfect. It gets even better when live music is on the schedule!
The home's location in the West End of Galveston allows you to easily go "into the city" for any of the tourist attractions, but you'll be away from the hustle of the tourist-crowded beaches and restaurants. When you're in Sea Isle, every minute truly feels like Island Time.
