Set against panoramic wetland views and offering direct water access, this peaceful escape is ideal for families or groups looking for a tranquil island experience.

Take in the serenity of the Texas Gulf Coast from the expansive deck overlooking the water.

The lushly landscaped yard with ambient lighting adds to the magical setting. While there's no pool or hot tub, the natural beauty and water access offer a unique kind of luxury all their own.

Inside, the home is warm and welcoming with farmhouse shiplap walls, wood floors, and an open-concept layout perfect for socializing. Upstairs, you'll find the main living area, a stylishly remodeled kitchen with modern appliances, and a cozy dining area—all with views of the surrounding wetlands.

Unique features include the private boat dock, expansive views of protected wetlands, and a downstairs bunk room that provides flexible sleeping arrangements for larger families or friend groups. The calm waters of the canal are perfect for kayaking, fishing, or simply watching the wildlife.

When it’s time to explore, you're just a 3-minute drive from the beach and within easy reach of Galveston’s top attractions.
