Sea Isle Bay Watch Canal Home Sleeps 8 Dog 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. The house also has a green under water fishing light and a fish cleaning table.

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.

Please check out the video of the entire house provided.

Perfect! Everything was literally perfect. The home is gorgeous! Beds are extremely comfortable! Views of the water from almost every window. Our absolute favorite part was the fishing! We caught multiple spices from the bulkhead in the yard, (trout, flounder, black drum, pin fish, and a huge gar) Having access to the private fishing pier was epic! Lastly, Liz is amazing, quick to respond and super easy to work with. This house is the biggest bang for your buck on VRBO!

Perfect getaway for fishing, relaxing, and bringing the pups!We had such a wonderful stay! The location was perfect—just a short drive to the beach and marina for bait and food. Most of our days were spent fishing, and we were thrilled to reel in blue crab, stone crab, flounder, and speckled trout. Evenings in the hot tub were the perfect way to unwind, and the stunning sunrises and sunsets made each day feel magical.Our dogs absolutely loved it here—sniffing the salty breeze, exploring the canal, and keeping a close eye on our fishing adventures. This home truly had something for everyone, and we felt completely at home from the moment we arrived.Beautiful property, wonderful location, and a perfect spot for both people and pets. We’re already planning our next trip back!

July 4th Fun

We had a family of 6 stay at sea isle bay along with our lab. The house was immaculate and the check in process was very easy due to the great communication with the owners! We fished the day and night away while enjoying the outside amenities. The house has several fans outside that made the outdoors very comfortable. The house was stocked with all the bare essentials needed and beyond. We will definitely book again in the future! Great rental house!

Best VRBO Rental Ever

This house is very well appointed, furniture and bedding is comfortable, decor is perfect and house and outdoor area are extremely functional. We lived on a canal in Galveston previously and we had huge expectations. All of our expectations were exceeded. This was the first time we met our VRBO owner/host. Such a pleasant, fun experience. We were notified early that the house was ready for us. So many small extras (nightlights, lighted closets, labels on all light switches, plenty of towels, plenty of paper goods). Outdoor furniture was exceptional. We look forward to going back.
