About this property

Sea Isle Bay Watch Canal Home Sleeps 8 Pet Friendly Great fishing w kayak launch

Sea Isle Bay Watch is a Galveston vacation home located on a live water canal and is the second house from the open bay in the Sea Isle neighborhood. Fish all day and night from the yard and enjoy beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset! Seasonal guests have reported daytime and nighttime catches of trout, redfish, flounder, croaker, drum, ladyfish and an occasional gar. Weather permitting, there are water activities to enjoy including swimming or kayaking. The immediate areas around the bay in front of Sea Isle can produce some great catches.

The property includes a concrete ramp kayak launch (see overhead picture with red outline), 2 kayaks with paddles and life jackets, a lily pad, corn hole boards, outdoor seating and an indoor bar area with 50" Roku smart TV, hammock, and 2 individual hanging hammock chairs. There are 4 comfortable chairs around a table large enough for an outdoor lunch or a game of cards and 4 additional barstools for seating outside or inside around the bar top. There are also a few extra chairs stacked in the garage and two Adirondack chairs upstairs on the porch. If you live an active outdoor lifestyle or just want a quiet comfortable stay indoors, there is something here for everyone!

Launch your boat from the community boat ramp at the marina complex or go fishing (day or night) from the community lighted fishing pier. The pier requires a keycard for entry and that keycard is located in the house near the key required for the boat ramp. Sea Isle charges $150/each for keys lost or not returned so PLEASE make sure to leave the boat ramp and fishing pier keys in the house on check out.

This 3-bedroom / 2 bath canal front vacation home is owner managed. The "upstairs" or main house has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with shower, fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and living area.
The "ground" level includes a bar area with Smart TV, 4 bar stools, cooler for your iced beverages, table and chairs for 4, enclosed storage area, and full bathroom with shower. The full "downstairs" bathroom is not climate controlled but is fully plumbed with hot and cold water and the ample shower is perfect for after the beach or fishing. The enclosed storage area is where you will find a few of the items listed below and is also available for storing your fishing and beach items during your stay. There is a hose with nozzle available near the driveway to rinse your beach or fishing gear in the grass.

There are 2 life jackets, lily pad, hammock, 2 hammock chairs, corn hole, and a couple of other items. An Old Smoky BBQ grill is also provided along with charcoal, charcoal starter and matches.

Please check out the video of the entire house provided.

As your hosts, we live in the Sea Isle neighborhood and are perpetually updating this vacation home to provide you with what we hope is a great vacation experience.

Future improvements planned for the coming months include the addition of a new hot tub downstairs, additional concrete and seating area, additional outdoor lighting, a roll-up door for the bar opening and all new upper deck and stairway.

My husband's family had a place here when he was 10. He talked about having summers with no shoes! We started renting in Sea Isle in 1998, which eventually lead to buying a house here in 2004. We live in Sea Isle full time and owner manage 2 houses in the neighborhood. We love it here and hope that you will too!
