Family Sized Home - Walking Distance to the Beach and Bay!!!!

Affordable 3Bd/2Ba beach house that is perfect for a romantic getaway or family fun vacation!!

This non-smoking (smoking allowed outside only), pet friendly home offers free WiFi, cable, outside entertainment area with flat screen television, fireplace, propane fire pit, outdoor grilling, internet and a fully stocked kitchen with many other amenities.

Bedroom 1 has a King-size bed, private bathroom, dresser and television. Bedroom 2 has a Queen size bed, dresser and television. Bedroom 3 is an upstairs loft that has two Queen beds plus one Twin bed making it a perfect kids room away from the main living area and capable of being completely closed off via doors and window shutters leaving the grown ups to enjoy their late night festivities. The living room has a large wrap around sectional sofa with four built in recliners overlooking a 70 inch television. The house can sleep up to 9 persons. There is a washer and dryer in the home along with a second bathroom and outdoor full shower. The kitchen and house has everything you need for a perfect stay.

We provide all linens and bath towels (you will need to bring your beach towels), toiletries, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and a fully stocked kitchen including coffee supplies, spices and condiments.

A prominent feature of the house is a very nice downstairs entertainment area and large built in 55" television with an outdoor shower. The sitting area has a porch swing, sofa and chair in which to relax while watching TV or enjoying the gas fire pit while you barbeque on the propane grill. The yard itself is fully fenced for your four legged family members and has the best grass they will ever have the pleasure of running around on.

The house is walking distance (three blocks or a quarter mile) to all community amenities such as a marina, two restaurants, kids' playground, tennis courts, store, bait shop, boat ramp, fishing and crabbing pier and of course, the BEACH and bay. The Sea Isle pool is open from Memorial Day weekend thru Labor Day weekend and during spring break, dependent upon the weather. If you choose to have access to the pool, a $100 pass may be purchased at the pool area. The pass covers up to 10 guests for one week.

You and your family and friends will feel right at home. All you need is your bathing suit, beach towels and sunscreen.

YOU MUST BE 25 YEARS OR OLDER TO RESERVE.

Great location, comfortable

We spent a relaxing winter month at Sol Vida. The house is very comfortable, and the fenced yard was enjoyed by our two dogs. The beach is a short walk and often we were the only ones on the beach. Galveston is a short drive, and there are wonderful restaurants to enjoy. If we plan another trip to the area, we will check on availability.

IF YOU READ EVERY REVIEW BEFORE BOOKING LIKE ME JUST BOOK IT!!!!

The house was amazing and stocked with everything needed! When choosing a house I always go and look at every review looking for the perfect house. This one had amazing reviews! We stayed 3 days with 9 of us! The house was cozy, felt like home honestly! The community pool was great! It’s big and you pay 100 dollars and get to swim for a week and that covers 10 people in your family. The bed was comfy, the couch is super comfy to relax and have a movie night with the family! The house stays cool after being in the sun all day that’s a big plus for my family! We will definitely be back and we will be booking this house for sure!

Family Getaway

The house was a great place for a family gathering for me, my children, their spouses, and my grandchildren. It wasn’t in the main traffic area of Galveston so it was quiet but we were able to access everything we needed. The owner was nice and very cooperative. I would definitely recommend this house.

The property is amazing. It is a beautiful home-very spacious and a great open feel. The ambiance was wonderful-perfect for a beach house. The distance from the beach was excellent for walking. The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. The wrap around porch was very nice and very pet friendly. Definitely would stay again.

Beautiful House!

Property was exactly as pictured and described in the listing. It was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean! My granddaughter loved the puzzles as well as the sidewalk chalk that was available. We spent every night listening to music and hung out around the gas fire pit downstairs. During the day we walked the few blocks to the beach or went into town for other activities. I highly recommend this property and we will be sure to book again in the future!

Family spring break on the beach

Excellent beach house for our family of 5! Definitely could have fit more people in but we were able to spread out and never felt cramped. Lee was great to work with - very responsive. The house was clean and tidy, most of the kitchen equipment we could have asked for. Plenty of pots and pans, utensils, and spices in the spice cabinet. Only about half a mile to the beach, easily walked there every day. About 30 minute drive to the strand and the pleasure pier with rides and games for the kids. Rockers on the porch were a great place to drink coffee and welcome the sunrise. Fire pit, grill, and porch swing on the patio were excellent for hanging out at the end of the day. Restaurant was a few blocks away and served as a great date night. Wonderful stay, would highly recommend! Thank you Lee for your wonderful hospitality!

Snowbird Long Term Stay - 33 days

House & amenities as described/listed. Property manager/owner (Lee) provided prompt communication & even came to property to assist w/ TV setup. When we asked about a Keurig coffee machine, Lee said not to bring our own & he would purchase one - great showing of Lee's desire to satisfy us as long term tenants. Property manager/owner has two (2) rentals in the Sea Isle area of Galveston Island - would recommend either property for your next vacation.
