Texan Waterfront Retreat with Boat Slip, Fire Pit, Game Room & Outdoor Shower

Welcome to Canal Quarters, a beautiful waterfront retreat in the heart of Sea Isle. With sleeping space for 15 people, a spacious game room with a full-size pool table, a private boat slip and outdoor shower, covered bbq area, outdoor fire pit overlooking the canal and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, your family will feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Relax, reconnect, and recharge at this spacious coastal bungalow with easy, breezy Texas vibes. Don’t forget your fishing gear!

Location: Sea Isle beach community of Galveston, Texas

Beach Access: Just a 3 minute drive from the Sea Isle beach access parking lot.

Community Amenities: Guests have access to the Sea Isle community pool for a fee — open Memorial Day thru Labor Day — and the community boat launch and fishing pier with the provided keys.

Rent BeachBox: Looking for beach gear for your Galveston getaway? We have you covered! Beach chairs and tents can be ready at the house upon your arrival. Message us for details and rates.

Pet Policy: Up to 2 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if you’re planning on bringing your furry friend!

The peaceful living space is filled with natural light from the sunny windows. Interesting architectural details create a unique and dramatic vaulted ceiling that’s highlighted with rustic wood finishes. The whole family will love to kick back here in the evenings for your favorite TV show.

The open-concept kitchen allows for plenty of socializing. Natural wood cabinets are topped with gleaming granite countertops. A convenient peninsula bar has bar seating for two, while a glass-topped table makes a cozy breakfast nook. As always, everyone ends up in the kitchen— and your whole crew will love gathering here over blueberry muffins and fresh-squeezed OJ in the mornings or snacks and cocktails before dinner.

A pass-through bar has even more seating and leads into the spacious and bright game room. With a full-size pool table, a comfy futon, and sweeping views of the canal below, this is a family-favorite spot to unwind with a game or two— and maybe a friendly wager. A washer and dryer are located nearby.

The first of three bedrooms is located just off the living area, allowing for sparkling views of the canal. This bedroom has a queen-size bed and a twin-over-twin size bunk. Lots of windows flood the room with bright, shimmering Texas sunshine.

The second bedroom is a camp-like bunk room and is located off a short hallway. With two twin-over-twin bunks, plus another built-in twin-over-twin space, there’s room for six people in this room. Across the hallway, the master bedroom has a king-size bed and a full ensuite bathroom. Another full bathroom with a tiled step-in shower and a beautiful soaking tub is accessible from the hall.

Nestled into the quiet community of Sea Isle, this home boasts tons of outdoor space to soak up the sun or relax in the shade. The second-level deck wraps around the entire home and provides plenty of unobstructed views of the shimmering canal and the peaceful neighborhood.

On the ground level, the covered barbeque area has a charcoal grill and outdoor shower. The covered boat slip is ideal for parking your boat or simply casting your fishing line off the dock. An additional fridge, sink and half bath are also conveniently located here. And when your crew is ready to explore, the dining, shopping, and entertainment of the Galveston Strand are a short drive away. The Sea Isle Beach access point and West End Marina and Restaurants are also close by. Gather up your whole group and let them know you’ve found your new home-away-from-home on the Texas coast.

Items in the house not working properly
We checked in at 4pm no problem. When entering the home the A/C was warm not cooling the house . The sink was having a hard time draining any water down. The fridge door did not stay sealed shut causing the food to stay warm and the dish washer would not shut all the way and had a smell coming from it .cooking was a challenge due to the stove Having a error code so the oven didn’t work

Never again
This property looked great online, however when we got to this property it was not what we expected. From walking into the property it smelt horrible. The refrigerator did not work properly unless we tied it shut, and smelt horrible. The left side of the sink would never drain. The dishwasher was leaking the whole time. Our kids could not play pool because the balls kept falling out is the pockets because they were broken. The trash cans were full when we got there and smelt horrible. The experience was not what we expected and we were very disappointed.

Disappointed is an Understatement
This house should not even be able to be rented. Plumbing is horrible, rugs in the house were so nasty and full of pee I assume because the dirty dog smell was awful. Whole house smelled musty and the railing around the house is not safe. Loose leaning boards. Pool table had holes in several pockets and it was nasty and stained as well. We were very dissatisfied and disappointed.

Location was great and very close to the beach and outside of the main Galveston strip. So, if you like having beach space or not being ontop of other beach goers, the west side of the island is a beautiful place to stay.

Needs some major upgrades.
Rooms were small, layout of house was very odd. The price was outrageous compared to the houses we normally stay at which are much bigger and a lot nicer. Lights outside to fish did not work, the fridge smelled really bad, the rooms are way smaller then they appear in the pictures. I will not rent this place again at that price. I am extremely glad that one couple did not show up.

Funeral memorial getaway
I spent time with friends and family at this property. The property was in a nice neighborhood and away from the hotspots in Galveston. I've rented plenty of homes in Galveston and on the bolivar, this rental is currently at the bottom of my list of places to book in and around Galveston. Only two full bathrooms, nothing else. An outdoor shower downstairs doesn't count as a half bath (Half bath = sink and toilet but no bath or shower). Where is the third toilet? The bathrooms had large gaps between the wall and the actually knobs, water can clearly drain into the walls and cause mold. Internet and TV did not work the entire weekend. We have three IT people present that believe it was either hardware or an ISP issue. I tried to communicate to the host but it was just to much trouble to get signal to send a message or even a call. Most of us have T-Mobile so there was no reception at all. I personally didn't mind this as we were all there to spend time and reminisce a recent death in the family. However, a few were upset they couldn't connect to watch the Astros on Oct 15 and 16th. One of my friends had an assignment due Saturday for her masters program. Luckily she had one bar in the middle of the street to submit. The Game room looks to have been the upstairs outdoor patio area that they closed the walls in on. The floors and pool tables were unlevel. All but one of the cues had a tip, however, that tip was barely 1 mm thick. If anyone is sitting at the "bar'" you can't play, not to mention the wall is already in the way, also a huge second fridge in front of the washer and dryer. The stove does not have have a vent even though it's backside is to an exterior wall. Anything you cook will just roll up to the microwave, onto the ceiling, and into the living room. Luckily we brought two skillets and extension cables. We were able to cook bacon and other things outside so we wouldn't stink up the house/ rooms. The floors were raising in some parts of the house that made it easy to trip on. In the living room and the game room. The front entry barely locked, you had to life up and lock the door. My rating is generous because the location of the property. The house is in bad shape and I would not rent here again. I wouldn't be surprised if this house fails all pieces of a home inspection.

10 of us stayed and there was plenty of room for our whole group. The pool table was nice for the boys and everything was very clean. We loved being able to swim and kayak in the canal especially on red flag days. Great house and quiet neighborhood, close to nice sandy beach.
