The Sea Isle community offers a small convenience store by the Marina, Sea Isle Supermarket, located on Termini-San Luis Pass at Nueces Drive. Heading back towards Galveston and just before Jamaica Beach is a Chevron convenience store, Seven Seas Grocery if you need extra items or forgot something while in town.

We stayed over New Year's and had a wonderful stay. Great fishing off the boat dock. My son caught a big red fish the first day. We rented a golf cart that was recommended by the owners and loved the ease of getting to the beach. Very comfortable beds and linens. Loved the views and the fun decor. The lower deck was a great place to hang out in the evenings. Highly recommended this place and we would definitely stay again.

Our 979 Crew would love to host you again, and we're thrilled you had a wonderful experience! Congratulations to your son on the big catch! Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments, and being such a great group!

The property was just as described. Pros and Cons: Pros: -Beautiful home on canal with wonderful outdoor space for spending time together. -Canal was great for paddling and kayaking which the kids loved. (one kayak and a paddleboat were included, we brought our others). -Home slept the 7 of us perfectly and an 8th would have been no problem. -Had a welcome basket with dish and washing detergent and extra trash bags as well as toiletry items -Canal location was perfect for easy access to the bay in our boat Cons: -Found quite a bit of dirty dishes in the cabinets, I'm assuming from previous renters who didn't rinse before loading and starting dishwasher upon departure. Perhaps housecleaning can check before putting a way to make sure. It wasnt really a big deal for us thought -We had a bit of trouble with getting into the home when we arrived. The keypad is for the downstairs outdoor bathroom but we were searching everywhere for it to get in upstairs. The key for the main house was hanging on a hook in that bathroom. Once we found it, we were all looking, it was all good. -We had an issue with the AC not working one day but the maintenance guy came and fixed it right away. -There is a wagon for use but the handle is rusted beyond being usable safely. Needs replaced. All in all a wonderful stay. All 7 of us enjoyed it thoroughly and we would definitely rent this property again. Thank you!

What an amazing place! This home was everything and more that we could have asked for. It was clean, very nicely decorated and so comfortable!! Each room felt large and airy with the beautiful whites and pops of color. The kitchen had everything we needed and we absolutely loved the deck. The downstairs area was perfect for our family to relax and enjoy the outdoors without too much sun. We got to use the boats, and paddle board and fished everyday. The home was very close to the beach, and had all things we needed. We would absolutely love to stay again. We actually met the owners and they were so welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend this place!

We had a great time kicking off summer at Anchors Down in Sea Isle, Galveston! The house was great inside and outside! Loved enjoying the beach and the bay and coming back to our comfortable beds! This home was clean and we enjoyed the outdoor space as much as the inside. Very comfortable and great set up for 2 families- 8 people total.

Very bright and clean. Well appointed and comfortable this property has it all. Beds are beyond comfortable, all the comforts of home plus some and a fabulous lower area that has everything you need for outdoor living, fishing and playing. VERY close to the beach but also private. Management was on top of everything and helpful. Could not be more pleased and will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Very much enjoyed being on the canal and yet still very close to the beach. House was well equipped with everything we needed. Only issue was the AC was a bit under rated for the home. It cooled down OK at night but couldn't keep up during the day even with door closed. Property management was very responsive and home was super clean. Loved how well the home was decorated in island theme. Beds were super comfortable. We made great use of the kayak and paddle boat. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
