Excellent property, very accommodating ocean front beach house. Owners were very accommodating to our family and especially my beautiful golden retriever puppy, what great time and wonderful memories for her first time in the surf. Definitely would recommend this house with very tasteful upgrades. We will be back!

Wonderful weekend!

Our stay was perfect, in location, right on the beach and we had all that we needed for our family weekend. Sea Isle is great because it’s so quiet and away from the business of Galveston, yet close enough to go in for shops or a restaurant. We’ll definitely look to go back to this property!

Ocean’s Gem was a gem indeed.

Ocean’s Gem lived up to its name.  And is just steps from the private beach with no cars driving on it.  We rent a beach house in Galveston every other year. Our kids and grand kids have decided this is our house from now on.  The layout is great, the kitchen is roomy to cook, the beds are comfy.  Ocean’s Gem was clean and comfortable, and we were not ready for our week to end. The only thing that would’ve made it better would be if the deck had a cover to allow more time sitting, reading, and watching the waves and the children playing in the water.  We plan to be back in 2027!!
