About this property

Family Sized Home - Walking Distance to the Beach and Bay!!!!

Affordable 3Bd/2Ba beach house that is perfect for a romantic getaway or family fun vacation!!

This non-smoking (smoking allowed outside only), pet friendly home offers free WiFi, cable, outside entertainment area with flat screen television, fireplace, propane fire pit, outdoor grilling, internet and a fully stocked kitchen with many other amenities.

Bedroom 1 has a King-size bed, private bathroom, dresser and television. Bedroom 2 has a Queen size bed, dresser and television. Bedroom 3 is an upstairs loft that has two Queen beds plus one Twin bed making it a perfect kids room away from the main living area and capable of being completely closed off via doors and window shutters leaving the grown ups to enjoy their late night festivities. The living room has a large wrap around sectional sofa with four built in recliners overlooking a 70 inch television. The house can sleep up to 9 persons. There is a washer and dryer in the home along with a second bathroom and outdoor full shower. The kitchen and house has everything you need for a perfect stay.

We provide all linens and bath towels (you will need to bring your beach towels), toiletries, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and a fully stocked kitchen including coffee supplies, spices and condiments.

A prominent feature of the house is a very nice downstairs entertainment area and large built in 55" television with an outdoor shower. The sitting area has a porch swing, sofa and chair in which to relax while watching TV or enjoying the gas fire pit while you barbeque on the propane grill. The yard itself is fully fenced for your four legged family members and has the best grass they will ever have the pleasure of running around on.

The house is walking distance (three blocks or a quarter mile) to all community amenities such as a marina, two restaurants, kids' playground, tennis courts, store, bait shop, boat ramp, fishing and crabbing pier and of course, the BEACH and bay. The Sea Isle pool is open from Memorial Day weekend thru Labor Day weekend and during spring break, dependent upon the weather. If you choose to have access to the pool, a $100 pass may be purchased at the pool area. The pass covers up to 10 guests for one week.

You and your family and friends will feel right at home. All you need is your bathing suit, beach towels and sunscreen.

YOU MUST BE 25 YEARS OR OLDER TO RESERVE.

Great location, comfortable

We spent a relaxing winter month at Sol Vida. The house is very comfortable, and the fenced yard was enjoyed by our two dogs. The beach is a short walk and often we were the only ones on the beach. Galveston is a short drive, and there are wonderful restaurants to enjoy. If we plan another trip to the area, we will check on availability.

Weekend getaway

My family from England came for a short visit, the house was very comfortable and clean. We did find that the loft bedroom got very hot at night with four people sleeping up there and not convenient for the bathrooms , we managed, but would not recommend for a longer stay. Very well stocked with things you needed. We enjoyed our stay.

It's a great house to rent. Very welcoming and cozy. The house has everything you need plus more. I will rent this house again. It is one of just a few that allow large dogs and has a big fenced in yard. Susan

Fabulous Family Getaway!

We had a memorable and wonderful stay at Lee's property. The house was perfect. Plenty of room for 4 adults. Also the internet was fast as 3 of us were working and 1 was schooling during the weekdays. We went to the beach most afternoons to run our dog. Lee is a warm and responsive host. Highly recommend this property.

Absolutely beautiful home in a great neighborhood

If you’re looking for the perfect home to bring your family and fur family to the beach, this is it! The yard is large and completely fenced, the downstairs entertainment area is perfect to relax and grill a great meal with a game playing on the tv (just bring mosquito spray), the locals are great, and the house is very well stocked with almost everything you’ll need. We’ve stayed in several homes on the island and this one was perfect for our family trip. We’ll definitely be back!

Great family vacation

We had an excellent stay at this house. Very well equipped with everything you need. Location is great. Restaurant near by good food. Very comfortable house plenty of room for everyone. The two bedrooms downstairs came in handy for my parents who are older. My friends stayed up in the loft bedroom. Loved the outdoor entertaining area. Great for hanging out and watching the World Series games. Definitely would book again.

Family & Dog Beach Getaway

We chose this property because the host, Lee, allowed us to bring our dog. We are planning to relocate to the Galveston area and wanted to introduce our family pet to the beach. The house and yard were perfectly accommodating to do just that! The Sea Isle beach was clean and less populated than other Galveston beaches. We really enjoyed the house and community. This will be our go-to rental every trip that our dog accompanies us!

Vacation in Galveston

Ad states ocean view but you can barely see the ocean from 1 window upstairs. Construction noise early in the morning. Not enough towels. The house was very clean and very close to the beach. Very quiet other than early construction noise. Overall we had a wonderful time.

Nice retreat

The property is very nice although it is older inside. It is a great neighborhood with very friendly people. I will say If you want to be in the heart of Galveston this isn’t the property for you as it is a 30 minute drive each way. It wasn’t a big deal for us as we were looking to get away from the noise but something to consider. Other than that it is a really great place to stay and I will definitely be going back

About the host

Hosted by Lee Ludwick

Host profile image
I have enjoyed four homes in Sea Isle over the last thirty years and have many fond memories raising children, visiting with family and making friends here. I enjoy the relaxation of this subdivision's atmosphere and stay practically every weekend to relax and recharge.

Why they chose this property

Sea Isle by far is the best subdivision on the island due to its community amenities and spirit that fills the air when you visit. I purchased this home because of its open vaulted ceilings and east facing front porch for enjoying coffee in the morning and watching the sunrise. The downstairs is open to the prevailing southeast wind and usually has a nice breeze when other locations do not, making it the place we hang out the most. The downstairs bar-b-que area and sitting area with 55" TV is where we spend most of our time eating dinner and enjoying company or watching sports on the big screen.

What makes this property unique

This home is midway between the beach front and bay. You can actually hear the surf on clear nights. Any place you wish to visit is only three blocks away due to its central location. You can't beat the downstairs entertainment area that is open to the back yard so your pets can also enjoy it with you. The outdoor propane fire pit is a wonderfully relaxing feature anytime of the year; especially spring, fall and winter.
