Beachfront Home Perfect For Family Vacations

Welcome to Leeward Retreat!

This beautiful beachfront home is nestled in cozy 'Sea Isle' which is approximately 25 minutes from Galveston. You will have easy access to the restaurants and attractions Galveston offers while enjoying a more private feel at the beach and incredible ocean views from the home.

The home is professionally managed and well-stocked so you can pack light, rest easy, and fully enjoy your vacation.


THE HOME

You are just steps away from the beach. From the backyard, take the private path through the dunes for a short walk to one of the best beaches that Galveston has to offer. Easily take breaks throughout the day to enjoy cooking and eating together around the large island that joins the kitchen with the family room. The open floor plan combines kitchen with the family room and the beautiful views of the ocean so that you never feel secluded from the action.


BEDROOMS

This home features five bedrooms to allow ample space for large families or reunions with extended families and friends. The master bedroom is located on the main level and has a king-size bed, en suite bathroom with dual vanity and walk-in shower as well as an ocean view and direct access to the upper deck. Bedroom #2, #3, and #4 have one queen-size bed each and are all located on the main level with the master bedroom. Bedroom #5 is located on the top level with stairs leading directly to the family room and features two bunkbeds with two single beds each and one additional single bed.


DURING YOUR STAY

Start your mornings taking in beautiful ocean views from the master bedroom and main living area. Indulge in endless days at the beach or head to town for one of the many attractions that nearby Galveston has to offer. Utilize the fully stocked kitchen or grill your favorite meats or veggies on the charcoal grill provided for guest use on the lower patio. Relax at night curled up on the couch together or take a dip in the hot tub with room for up to 8 people and additional seating for many more on the lighted lower patio to enjoy the evening sea breezes. This is a perfect house for friends and families to enjoy the beach and build memories together.


BEACH ACCESSORIES STOCKED AT THE PROPERTY

The home is stocked with beach items to enhance your experience and reduce the number of items you need to purchase and pack for your trip. These items typically include boogie boards, sandcastle toys, beach umbrellas, etc. Due to the nature of beach items, we are unable to guarantee all items are available or in pristine condition. Although we restock these items on an ongoing basis, they are used by guests and do incur wear.

Need beach chairs, a beach canopy, or a golf cart during your stay? We have a local company that rents these items. They can deliver these items and pick them up at a reasonable rate. Their contact information is listed under 'Local Rentals' in the Local Guide section of our guest app which is made available upon booking your reservation.


NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES

You will have access to the neighborhood fishing pier which is an excellent place for both fishing and crabbing. In addition, there is a community pool open 7 days a week in the summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day. You will need to purchase a pass from the HOA office which is open M - F from 9AM - 5PM and located next to the community pool. The pass typically costs $100 but may vary. Although we are unable to provide the phone number for the Sea Isle HOA office in this listing, their phone number and address are provided in our guest app.


STOCKED ITEMS

This home is well stocked starting with a kitchen that has just about everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals. Just bring your favorite ingredients! All beds are made prior to your arrival with clean sheets and freshly laundered hand, bath, and beach towels are provided. You will also find the home is stocked with a starter kit including necessities such as coffee, paper towels, and toilet paper. These items are intended to make your initial arrival comfortable before having the chance to go shopping. You may need to purchase additional supplies depending on the length of your stay and the size of your group.


CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT

Check-in time is 4PM on your arrival date. Please do not request an early check-in time. If you arrive to the island before 4PM, please utilize our guest app to find one of the many restaurants or attractions Galveston has to offer. These can serve as an excellent meeting place for members in your group and a fun way to start your trip.

Check-out time is 11AM on your departure date. Please adhere to this departure time so that our staff has adequate time to prepare the home for the next guest. Late guest departure from the home may result in additional fees.


HOUSE RULES

EARLY CHECK-INS: We are unable to accommodate early check-ins due to the complications this causes for our cleaning staff.

PETS: This is a pet-friendly property (1-2 dogs depending on size, cats are not permitted). There is a $50 non-refundable pet fee.

Great house in an awesome location! We stayed here with our family of four and some of our extended family, as well (10 people total). We had a great time at this house. The house being steps from the beach was awesome! The views from the deck, and even the living room, are amazing! We will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic kitchen
This is a fabulous home for families. The kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen EVER. The huge island that seats 12 is perfect for allowing multiple cooks at a given time. Great location. Great layout. We would love to stay here again.

Lovd it! Will stay here again!
Absolutely loved the property and all amenities. The owners were great and very polite. We typically rent a house in Galveston every year and will definitely come back to stay again! It is perfectly located on the West end of the island and has access to a community pool and fishing pier. Beach access is only two houses away for main access and a short walking trail away from the back yard.

Fantastic Beach house
We loved being beach front in this beautiful, well stocked home. The house is well cared for and had almost everything we needed. Stores were not too far away so it was easy to pick up supplies. The downstairs area with hot tub was a great place to relax out of the sun. VRBO made renting long distance a simple process.

Great House
Perfect house for families with kids and pets. Big plus was the fenced in backyard to contain the toddlers and dogs. Plenty of beach toys and chairs. Hot tub was great. Fishing equipment was not really useable so I would recommend to bring your own like we did.

Great House in Great Location!
We loved our stay here. It is the perfect size for a group who wants the flexibility to be at the house or on the beach without much coordination. Being just a short walk over the dunes to the beach meant that, as parents, we could trade off time between our beach going big kids and our napping baby with ease. Having beach toys provided also meant we saved space in our car on the drive down (just wish umbrellas or a tent were also provided). Overall, we had a great time and will definitely consider staying here again on our next Galveston trip!

Family Time
We stayed here for a long weekend with our adult children and grandchildren. We loved the proximity to the beach and the outside shower to rinse off before going back in the house. The downstairs area was great for us to play games once the kids were asleep to keep the noise separated from them. The only negative is the kitchen supplies really need updating. The kitchen pans, silverware, cooking utensils, etc. all were lacking. Everything else was great.

Perfect Getaway
The photos dont quite do this property justice. It's better in real life. The kitchen is beautiful and fully stocked. Bedrooms and bathrooms have everything you need. Everything is in good working order and quality. Management folks were super responsive to a small electrical issue we were having. House is right on the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was great.

Snake
Over all our stay was wonder. We did however, come across a 4 foot rattle snake. By the mercy of God no one was hurt but could have ended badly. The snake did try to Attack my daughter who ,at the time, carried her little girl in her arms. I will advice the owners of the property to build a walk way for the safety of the guest. Thank you!
