The Texas sun shines effortlessly on this multi-story Galveston home! As part of the Sea Isle community, enjoy indulging in a variety of shared amenities such as; an outdoor pool, children's pool, and year-round tennis courts. Less than 13 miles away from your stay, explore Jamaica Beach City Park, Kelly Hamby Nature Trail Park, and Galveston Island State Park.
Inside your home away from home, beach chic meets modern comfort. The sunlit living room comes adorned with ample seating, a large TV, and effortless deck access. When mealtime rolls around, head for the bright full kitchen equipped with a cheerful, turquoise backsplash, updated appliances, and a breakfast bar.
The charming bedrooms are places of pure peace with their inviting color palettes, carefully curated furnishings, and cool temperatures - thanks to the home's central air-conditioning.
Downstairs, the family room provides a great additional spot for the kids to tune into their weekend morning cartoons. The separate laundry room is another perk to the home's interior, ensuring chore time is the least of your concerns.
Outside, gather on the covered patio and fire up the gas grill to host a sweet summer barbecue. Your island dreams await, book now!
