2 Bedroom House in Dickinson, San Leon
Sunny San Leon is a peninsula that juts out into Galveston Bay located 14 miles North of Galveston Island, 10 miles South of Kemal Waterfront and 33 miles South of Houston. This small bayside community is home to several stellar restaurants; Top water Grill – known for its fresh fish, lively bar and indoor/outdoor waterfront seating, Gilhooley’s Restaurant – repeatedly voted “best smoked oysters in the Bay Area,“ and Pier 6 Seafood and Oyster House, a chef – driven waterfront seafood and oyster bar located directly on Galveston Bay.
Other neighborhood points of interest within close proximity to this waterfront home include; Railean’s-a locally owned and operated distillery which hosts a colorful bar and tasting tours complete with a souvenir shot glass, Eagle point fishing camp for fishing supplies and fresh and frozen bait, Sunset lounge fishing pier, and an oyster shelled sandy cove known as Mariners Beach.
This vintage bay house rental built in 1962 has survived every hurricane since being built. Featuring original hard wood floors, stained glass windows, and 20ft long wooden ceiling beams, this one of a kind rental includes the second and third levels of the home. Located smack dab on Galveston Bay on a dead-end corner spot, it affords spectacular uninterrupted waterfront views from every window, porch and deck.
The 2nd/main level features a large bedroom suite with French doors that open onto a covered deck that includes a water view barstool seating area and the view of the below outside electric fireplace and sectional. It features a four poster queen size bed, flatscreen TV, overstuffed comfortable chair with ottoman and a unique cozy loft area accessible via a custom built ladder. Also included on the second level is a bathroom with a tiled shower featuring custom made doors, a copper sink and plenty of fluffy towels.
A dining room table and original Mexican school art desk/table with six chairs offers ample gathering space in front of a large window overlooking the water. A well-stocked kitchen includes a gas stove, microwave, Keurig coffee pot and stainless-steel refrigerator with ice/water in the door. Utensils, vintage casserole dishes, glasses, mugs and pots and pans are included for meal preparation. A utility room with washer and dryer and office supplies is located right off the kitchen. The living room featuring another large flatscreen TV, comfy sectional sofa and hammered copper coffee table completes the 2nd/main level. Double doors open onto a covered waterfront deck that wraps its way around this level, providing two chaise lounges, additional bar-stool seating and includes unbeatable views of Galveston Bay from every vantage point.
A tiled, reclaimed wooden staircase in the living room area ascends past multiple stained glass windows to the third level master bedroom with an en suite bathroom with double copper sinks and a tiled shower with a bench. It includes a comfy foam top king size mattress, two unique armoires, a chest coffee table and a twin-size daybed. A covered third level deck off the bedroom offers unparalleled views of the water, the ship channel, the water front fire pit below and the soaring brown pelicans, blue herons and coastal birds. Barstool seating and two cushioned lounge chairs with a side table provides comfortable seating on the sky high deck.
The entire home and grounds are filled with collectibles, architectural salvage pieces, folk art and hand-crafted art pieces. There are two central AC/heat units located on each level. All the exterior doors were designed and made by the owners as are the stained glass windows.
The ground level of this home is a separate studio rental and is capped at two adults.
