I love sea isle
I love this neighborhood, we have stayed in sea isle several times. This property was nice, but the management company is seems only leaves amenities for a short weekend stay. We were there seven days and given 1 roll of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towels, I had to hunt for extra trash bags after the two that were set out, 2 tabs for the dishwasher. It just simply wasn’t enough for 4 people for 7 days. There is no outside shower downstairs so it was virtually impossible to keep from tracking sand. The air conditioner had an extremely hard time keeping up in the afternoons. We ended up having to close all the curtains all day instead of enjoying the beautiful views. The property was nice, and I would recommend it but with some side notes like above.

Great family Spring Break getaway
This was a great place for our family of 6, we really enjoyed it! It was a little small but worked just fine for a short stay, and still more room than a hotel would allow. The kitchen was decently stocked for cooking in, and the beds were really comfy, everyone slept great, even on the roll away beds! We didn’t discover the second toilet down in the laundry area until later in our stay, but no big deal. The hose was perfectly placed at the base of the stairs to rinse feet after walking to the beach! It would have been better with the golf cart, but we made it to the beach twice walking with littles and it was fine. There is also a park in the neighborhood within an easy walk, and a pool that was closed for us but would have been fun too I bet once open! We walked to the marina too, and took home a half gallon of delicious margaritas for the hubs and me to enjoy. We’ll look at staying here again if we are ever back in Galveston!

Good for Small Families
We had 2 adults and 2 kids and this was nice for a short beach getaway. There were some minor issues like a shower leak and weak a/c in the master bedroom, but no deal-breakers. Easy beach access directly in front of the neighborhood.

Cozy by the sea
Small and cozy bay house, perfect for two. We rented a golf cart for beach trips just up the street. Also, restaurant/bar, pool, tennis courts and playground in the neighborhood as well. My friends that came to visit will rent this gem in the future. Lovely holiday.
