Margaritaville on the Bay | Private Pool & Views!

Soak up the Texas sun and spend your entire getaway by the water at Margaritaville on the Bay, a 3-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom canal-front oasis in Galveston’s Sea Isle community. With its private pool, unbeatable bay views, and outdoor kitchen made for entertaining, this home is a dream for anglers, families, and anyone looking to live the laid-back coastal lifestyle.

Start your mornings with coffee on the upper deck, watch the sunset light up the bay, and enjoy poolside afternoons with a drink in hand at the outdoor bar. Fire up the charcoal grill for a seafood feast and clean your fresh catch at the dedicated fish station right on the bulkhead. There’s even a smaller splash pool perfect for little ones to cool off in.

Inside, the open-concept main floor features a spacious living area, a fully stocked kitchen, and two bedrooms—one with a queen bed and Roku TV, and another with a pyramid bunk and trundle, ideal for kids. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a king bed, full bathroom, smart TV, and its own balcony with showstopping bay views.

Smart TVs throughout the home allow you to stream your favorite shows, and Bluetooth capabilities make it easy to enjoy music indoors or out.

The Sea Isle community offers even more ways to enjoy the outdoors, with a public park, tennis courts, picnic pavilion, bait shop, convenience store, restaurant, and a community pool available with a $100 pass.

Book your stay at Margaritaville on the Bay today and get ready to fish, float, and unwind in one of Galveston’s most relaxing waterfront settings.

Lovely beach house

Our weeklong stay was great— the home and property are very clean and generally well maintained. There is close proximity to local beaches and some cute restaurants and a surprisingly good small grocery store. Check in and out were easy, instructions were thorough and when I did need help from property management they were responsive and respectful (I discovered the washer door was broken from prior travelers).Kids loved the pool and boat dock, sunsets were rather beautiful. The only recommendation I have is to provide more bath towels. Would stay again if the opportunity arises.

Our favorite house of MANY!

We loved this house so much last year, we didn’t even look at any new ones for this years trip. This house checks all the boxes. It’s clean, homey, great pool & outdoor space, great fishing right off the dock, & unbeatable sunsets! We rent a golf cart every year (which I highly suggest doing) and it’s a quick little drive to the bait shop, little store, the park, & the restaurant which we visit often. The AC is amazing, beds are comfy, and the many docks are perfect for drinking coffee & watching all the boats go by. It’s just an all around great rental for a family vacation. Highly recommend this house. We will absolutely be returning to this home for our annual trip again next year!

Beautiful property. Had a fun time. Pool is shaded in the morning hours. Full sun in the later afternoon. Shower outside was nice to rinse sand off. Be sure to bring any kitchen cleaner stuff you may want. There is a keurig and blender for those wondering. Bring any tuppperware you may need to store leftovers etc. There is a bulkhead and beach house under construction right across the canal. Was a tad noisy with a jackhammer most of the day. Washing machine latch was broken. So check on those things if it matters to you. But we loved the property. Had hard time finding pool light switch, its by the pool equipment.

House was as advertised, very clean and all the basics were provided. Fishing, and views are great, pool and outside amenities can’t be beat. Had storms which caused the pool to get dirty a couple of days, property managers had someone there asap to clean it, will definitely book our next vacation here absolutely no complaints.

Margarita On The Bay

I've been coming down to Galveston and rented many homes for 5 years now and I can tell you this is by far the place I've booked. The place was extremely clean and. great layout. I'll be renting out the place for now on...
