Ocean's Gem, 3 Bedroom 2 Bath, Sleeps 10, Dog Friendly

There's plenty of room for the entire family (including the family dogs) in this beachfront home. Two-story with ocean view, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a very large deck that offers an expansive view of the beach make this the perfect summertime vacation spot. The kitchen is very well-stocked to prepare most any meal...and the dining area seats 10. Beach level beneath the home is shaded and a perfect place for that summer cook-out. There's even a picnic table for your outside dining, or a fun game of dominoes! This GEM also has Cable, WiFi, Washer/Dryer and a TV in each bedroom. "Ocean's Gem" is full of charm and is extremely clean. Sea Isle subdivision is full of amenities including, tennis court, marina, boat launch, general store, restaurant, fishing pier, pool, picnic area & park.

Good place for a family celebration

Beryl blew enough sand up to the house that we had to park on the roadway and walk a bit with our things. Debris on the beach was likely due to Beryl as well. House was nicely laid out w a bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. Fans,and conditioning worked well. Great location!! No idea what the port key was for.

Spring break at the beach

We loved this house that was directly on the beach. The grandkids could freely run to the beach. The deck gave a view of the whole coastline. This was wonderful for a morning break. The house had three bedrooms which worked perfectly for our group. The kitchen was large and we made most of our meals there. We definitely would like to go back.

Right on the beach

We really loved this house! Being right on the beach was exactly what we wanted. The living room was comfy for the times we just wanted to chill in front of the TV. Our younger daughters loved the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen was the perfect size and functionality. The only drawback for us was the master bedroom upstairs didn't cool as we would have liked. If the king and queen rooms were switched that would be more preferable for us. We would still consider staying in this house again.

Retired group of friends from highschool

I did not rate a 5 on the check in as we weren’t given the correct code on the door for check in but a phone call quickly rectified the situation. Had a sink that didn’t drain and someone was sent promptly to fix. Adequate towels for 6 women, beds were comfy but a little short on the toilet paper for 6 women staying 5 days ( we bought more and paper towels as well). Great location and view, house was clean, and pictures were accurate. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly!

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!

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!!
