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.
