About this property

Charming Coastal Bungalow Close to the Beach

Serenely set in the Sea Isle neighborhood, this cheerful, coral-pink bungalow was built for the beach. With multiple outdoor spaces— including a rooftop deck and a huge fenced-in yard— you’ll have plenty of space to soak up the Texas Gulf Coast sunshine and feel the ocean breezes. There’s also an outdoor shower, a barbeque area, and the Sea Isle Beach access point is a hop-and-a-skip down the lane. There’s space for ten, so bring the family for a carefree coastal getaway.

● WINTER TEXAN RATE: Escape to the Texas Gulf Coast this winter! Ask about our reduced monthly rates October 1 - March 1.

● Location: Sea Isle beach community of Galveston, Texas

● Beach Access: Just a 30 second drive or 3-4 minute walk from the Sea Isle beach access point.

● Community Amenities: Guests have access to the Sea Isle community pool for a fee — open Memorial Day thru Labor Day — and the community boat launch and fishing pier with the provided keys.

● Rent BeachBox: Beach gear rentals are available! Ask us for details and rates.

● WIFI/Cable: We provide free high-speed WIFI and Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own streaming service apps.

● Parking: There is room for 4 cars in the driveway.

Little Tuna has a fun, relaxed beach style. The living area is open to the kitchen and has a sectional sofa with soft throw pillows. A large, flatscreen television is mounted over a console table. Slip off your flip-flops and relax here in the evenings with your favorite TV show or a family film festival. A wall of windows behind the sofa floods the whole room with bright, natural light.

The clean and efficient kitchen has a tiered peninsula bar with seating for six people. White cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a subway tile backsplash are accented with pops of bright teal. It’s a perfect, sunny spot to linger over the morning coffee while flipping fresh blueberry pancakes, or packing the cooler with some snacks for the beach. A laundry nook with a stacked washer and dryer is next to the refrigerator.

There are two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main floor. The first bedroom has a queen-size bed with glass doors that provide tons of natural sunlight and lead out to the deck. The second bedroom has a full-over-full-size bunk bed. A full bathroom with a step-in shower can be accessed from the hallway. On the ground level, a third bedroom has a full-over-full-size bunk and flatscreen television. This bedroom is not connected to the main house, guests must use exterior stairs to access the main home and bathroom.

The outdoor spaces of this home were built to take full advantage of the gorgeous Texas Gulf Coast. On the main level, there’s a spacious deck with an outdoor dining table and plenty of lounging space. You can choose to kick back in the shade with a cool drink or soak up the sun and work on your tan. A rooftop deck has plenty of privacy and a birds-eye view of the Sea Isle Beach neighborhood. The rooftop space is ideal for relaxing with a glass of wine while watching the sunset, or working on your Texas tan in the afternoons.

The crown jewel of this home is the gigantic, emerald green lawn that’s fully fenced in. Play volleyball or badminton while your four-legged family members frolic safely nearby. When your crew is ready for the beach, the access point for Sea Isle is a quick walk down the road. A barbeque area with a charcoal grill and an outdoor shower complete the Texas beach house must-haves. You won’t find another home quite like this one anywhere on the west end of Galveston.

My family and I loved this place. It was good that the downstairs bedroom had its own bathroom. We cooked multiple meals in the kitchen and charcoal grill outside. The fire pit was great for roasting marshmallows. I hope to stay here again

There were dried food stains on the counter, the shower stall was full of sand where it hadn't been cleaned. The master bedroom had no box spring and only a mattress on the bed. The nice sitting area outside the bedroom on the patio was nonexistent. There was only worn-out rug in its place. It was not as advertised, and the photos are very outdated. Reached out to the rental company and nothing came of it.

Nice place to stay for a Galveston vacation

This beach house has a huge fenced yard for children or pets, it's located west of Jamaica beach so it is a little bit of a drive to the seawall and other attractions, it is very roomy and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay and would keep it in mind for our next Galveston trip.

Amazing stay

We stay in Sea Isle every year and this house did not disappoint! Great location close to the beach and bar. Dogs loved the huge yard. The layout was perfect for us. Had everything we needed. The 3rd floor patio was great for sun sets. Would absolutely recommend this place Ava look forward to coming back!

Great Experience - Short Stay

We spent one day and night at this property and very much enjoyed it. The fenced in yard for the dogs was perfect. The master bed was smaller than advertized (barely a full) but everything else was great. The property management and cleaning crew were also super helpful. We would stay there again!

Dirty, misleading, and unhelpful. Nothing like the photos—dirty sheets in bottom room, bad smell, roach, awful bed, every dish had to be washed. “We’ll talk to the team” was the only reply. Note on fridge to contact before bad review—did, got no help. The Beach Box (property manager) has F BBB rating.

Perfect location

The house is fantastic, there is plenty of room, the multi story decks are amazing. The house is just off the main road so walking to the beach only takes a couple minutes. I also appreciate the kitchen being stocked with everything needed to make breakfast. I especially enjoyed the coffee maker, it was very new and made a great cup of coffee. BUT the beds are so unbelievably uncomfortable! They were so bad it affected our trip. The last night my wife and I slept on the couch, which was a big improvement.

Great stay! Great location!

Great stay & great communication from host. Washer/dryer made it very practical to wash clothes before leaving. The space is great and the new addition of fire pit and playground made the yard even more fun! Bring bathroom toiletries (shampoo, etc) bc that’s not something provided. Latches on doors are a little tricky, so locking bathroom and master bedroom was not easy, but we made it work. Overall a great stay!!
