Neighborhood

Sea Isle is a beautiful community, located about 12 miles from Galveston's seawall, often referenced as the West End. It has that laid back beach flavor perfect for your getaway. One of the popular neighborhood hot spots is the West End Restaurant & Marina which frequently offers live music, plenty of tvs airing different sporting events/games, good food, and tasty cold beverages. There is also access to the public beaches (3), boat ramp, marina, park, basketball courts, seasonal swimming pool (Sea Isle POA charges $100/week for amenity pass, available from the office during normal business hours, with advanced notice by 979's staff, Memorial Day through Labor Day, subject to change) and tennis courts, so guests get an opportunity to experience the benefits of both the Gulf and Bay sides of the island.

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. Also, you'll find in Jamaica Beach, West Grill & Pizzeria, Buck’s West, Shrimp & Stuff Food Truck then Dollar General, Waterman’s Restaurant, Hummel’s Convenience Store & Deli, Mario’s Pizza, Woody’s Bar, Lucky Way Food, Gas & Liquor Store, Seahorse Grill and Jack’s Pub before you get to Galveston's seawall.

Tho the house is small, it is well equipped and has plenty of space for two friends. Not sure I would want to be there with as many people as can sleep in all those beds, but it was good for us. Great location, actually has a peek a boo view of the bay. The yard is lovely and we enjoyed hanging out in the shade. The skeeters were vicious, but we were prepared. The dogs loved it.

Thanks for the paws-itively wonderful review! This little coastal cottage may be petite, but she’s proof that good things come in small packages. We’re so glad it was the perfect fit for your crew of two (and the furry family members who clearly approved of the yard!). The bay peek, shady spots, and cozy charm are some of our favorite features too. As for the skeeters… they’re just the unofficial island welcome committee (although we don't welcome them), and we’re glad you came prepared! Thanks again for allowing us to host you!

Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid Manor. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. We brought a golf cart with us and drove it down the road to the beach. The beach is very close and you can drive your vehicle right on it. There is also a wonderful restaurant located in the back of the neighborhood for those nights when you don't feel like cooking or driving far to eat.

Perfect location!
This is our second time to stay in the sea isle community, the location of Christi’s house is perfect. You’re 1 block from the bay and 2 blocks from the restaurant and store. The kitchen was a nice open floor plan, and the blue details on the quartz counter tops was so pretty! The only thing I’d suggest is a more comfortable bed in the master. The bunk beds and full bed in the second room were very comfortable, my boys loved their beds! The home has a nice open floor plan, and it was the perfect set up for my family of 4. Christi has equipped the home with everything you would need for a beach trip, and more!

Just wanted a get away
My wife and I are retired. We love Galveston and it’s an annual getaway. Really loved this property. First time we’ve stayed farther away from the main areas…such as Pleasure Pier and The Strand and it was a welcome change. Have considered an investment/rental property and I have to say, this is exactly what I would do.
