A Reel Good Spot! Spacious 5 bdrm/ king beds/bunk
Welcome to your beautiful home away from home set in the upscale neighborhood of Isla Del Sol! You will absolutely love the laid-back luxury of this beautiful beach community and this recently updated amazing beach house. This is where you need to go to feel the cozy warmth that a real beach house has to offer.
There are three wonderful outdoor entertaining areas and neighborhood features.
The main deck has a lovely covered seating area that offers serene canal views where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun goes down. The deck extends over the boathouse where the views of the canal are spectacular.
The lower deck has 6 Polywood Adirondack chairs from where you can cast a line, throw burgers on the provided charcoal grill and enjoy catching up with friends.
There is also an upstairs balcony off of the main bedroom with seating for two. The privacy is perfect for winding down in the evening and this deck is accessible from the master bedroom and the upstairs queen bedroom.
The house is a short walk to the nearby estuary and fishing dock where there are spectacular views of the bay, and you may even catch that evening's meal. The nearby boat ramp is accessible only to Isla Del Sol residents and its guests. The key is provided with the rental. We have one kayak available for cruising the canals. We also have an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a great day at the beach.
The beautiful neighborhood beach is vehicle accessible with a marked parking area for your car. It does not allow vehicles to drive down the beachfront. This makes it easy for you to bring your beach items in the vehicle, unload, and set up for a great day at the beach!

FISHING AMENITIES
Our rental property is located directly on the canal in Isla del Sol. The canal is circular and communicates with the large bay allowing tidal water, fish and bait movement. Fishing and crabbing from our dock is very good: All species of fish that are caught in the Galveston West Bay can be found in the canal.
You will enjoy the fishing amenities provided. There is a fish-cleaning table with running water on the dock as well as a 55-gallon perforated drum that can be used as a live bait receptacle that lowers into the water. There are underwater green lights that attract fish and bait at night. The dock is designed to allow your boat to be tied up alongside. A private boat launch is only 100 feet away with parking space for trailers and vehicles. There is good crabbing off the dock. Two kayaks are provided.
Located in the Isla del Sol addition, there is access to a private fishing pier that extends into the West Bay and an adjacent estuary that offers fishing and crabbing.
While fishing results are never guaranteed, this location has proven very productive year-round. Fall fishing is exceptional for speckled trout, red fish and flounder.
Galveston Island has so much to offer. Enjoy spending time at the historic Strand District for shopping, great restaurants, and more. Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Waterpark are a must as well. Enjoy wonderful dining at the local hot spots including Rudy and Paco's, Katies, The Fisherman's Wharf, and so many more. You will enjoy making magical memories in this wonderful location. We look forward to having you as our guest.

Relaxing Family Fun
We took our two adult children, their spouses and four grandkids (ages 6 & 8) to Galveston and stayed at "A Reel Good Spot". The home was beautiful with comfortable rooms for all adults and a fun bunkroom for the cousins to share. We fished off the canal, ran across the street and played in the sand & water and had a wonderful family trip! Any questions we had were promptly answered. We would love to return and stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect for family overflow
This property is located steps away from my own home so it's perfect for those times I can't fit everyone in my own home. It has a great layout with large comfortable beds. The bunk room is perfect for children of all ages. We will be using it for future family gatherings.

Galveston Vacation 2024
The trip was a success. Even though it rained everyday all day it was a good time. The kids fished all day everyday even in the rain. One disappointment was the fishing lights were not working. It was the only bummer of the trip.
We would definitely rent it again.

Great place to stay
The host was quick to respond - even during hurricane clean-up and power outages. The house had plenty of room for all 11 of us and one of the best-equipped kitchens we have had. This is our preferred neighborhood - everything is easily accessible, including the marina & neighborhood supermarket, restaurants, and a park. Beach is less than a 2 min drive and fish from the dock at the house was excellent

Enjoyed my 60th birthday with my family.
We had plenty room for everyone. My grandson loved his huge room with the bunk beds and tv. All the room were so spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved sitting out in the decks and being able to be walking distance from a beach. It was very peaceful and relaxing there also. We also enjoyed kayaking also. I would definitely recommend this beautiful spot.

The house was perfect for our family getaway. The neighborhood was very peaceful. The house had more than enough room for everyone, including two toddlers! The bunk room was the perfect place for quiet play & naps. Beds were super comfy, bathrooms clean and spacious. The upstairs deck was great for relaxing & watching the sunrise/sunset. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. The property manager was prompt to answer all questions, before & during our stay.

Perfect for a family!
We had two families and the space was perfect.The description nailed it. Short walk to the beach, we used the BBQ grill, did some fishing, kayaking, and sat on the deck to just take in the view of the canal and enjoy time together. It was chilly in the evening but comfortable. Not a bad drive to any store you might need or to go downtown, or pleasure pier. Would highly recommend. Kathy, the host was very pleasant to work with and answered any questions I had.

Great Place fur Family Time
We had a great time at a Reel Good Place with our Family and grandsons at Spring Break this year, We had in our party a total of 6 adults and our 3 grandsons ages 4, 5, and 6 years. This place had plenty of bedrooms and kitchen/dining space for everyone. Lucky for us, the cable TV worked well with access to the cartoon network :). The house was very well equipped including the outdoor shower and outside grill which we used to grill hamburgers one evening.
The beach is a short 3-minute drive or 10-minute walk away.
We will be back!
