About this property

The Sea Shack--Perfect For Mardi Gras, Rodeo, Blocks Away From Boat Ramp And Bay

Welcome to the "Sea Shack"! This beautifully decorated, one-of-a-kind bungalow is perfect for anyone looking to relax, visit Houston and/or Galveston, fish, go to Mardi Gras and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and more. Enjoy your stay with high end amenities including a propane grill, firepit, deck, two flatscreen TVs, and WiFi.

The Sea Shack is ideally located with easy access to Galveston (a short 20 minute drive gets you to the island), Kemah (where you can find live music, drinks, and merriment most every night), and downtown Houston.
San Leon itself is also a gem--visit local eateries such as Gilhooleys (the best oyster bar in the area!) and Pier 6 Seafood.
After you finish your busy day having fun, you'll enjoy the Sea Shack's serene and quiet surroundings. Wake up to the sunrise lighting the pasture with horses grazing in the distance outside your bedroom window. Sit on the deck and sip a cup of coffee as you warm up next to the firepit.

Enjoy cooking at home instead of going out? Granite countertops and high end range await your use.


A pet is welcome at the Sea Shack as long as it weighs less than 50 lbs AND a pet deposit is paid. If a pet deposit is not paid, and/or your pet weighs more than 50 lbs, and/or you have more than one animal you will be charged an additional $150 fee per animal and could face immediate eviction. All pets must be leashed when outside the home. Please message us with any questions about animals!

Great location

Had a lovely stay at the Sea Shack. Stacy is easy to contact and responds time. She is committed to ensuring I had an enjoyable stay. It is a little over a mile to the Bayshore Park to enjoy the water and sunsets. Thank you Stacy for the snacks and having a yoga mat!

So Welcoming

Beautifully quiet but only a stone's throw away from everything! I've never been greeted with such hospitality and am so glad to have made the switch to VRBO. We are a couple of introverts, and the Sea Shack was absolutely amazing. 11/10, Definitely Recommend, y'all! Thank you for making our honeymoon special.

Weekend get away

Everything was good. Communication was very good. Do wish the windows in the bedroom had darker coverings to block the morning sun and a covering on the kitchen window (but thats personal preference). Otherwise everything was what we needed.

More than we expected

First, I must say that Stacy was very responsive and her hospitality was top notch. The Sea Shack was very clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home. It also came with an excellent assortment of complimentary snacks and drinks. The area was quiet and enjoyable; very close to good food and good entertainment. I will definitely recommend to friends and family. Should I ever come stay in the area again the Sea Shack will be my first choice.

Absolutely Perfect

We were looking for somewhere to rest after a busy day on vacation and we found just that. Fantastic outdoor space with a grill and firepit(which we didn't need but it was cute). Washer and dryer to take care of laundry so you don't take home a bunch of dirty clothes. All around fantastic!

Great little getaway

The location is a pretty quaint little beach town really close to the bay that has most stores you'd want within 15-20 minute drive, and some small small convenience stores right down the road. The property itself has an awesome view of the sunrise behind a horse pasture where the 2 horses can normally be seen from the bedroom window. When my wife and I first got to the place, we couldn't believe how nice it was inside for how small it was. The design and space use was well thought out. Overall we would definitely stay there again and would recommend friends and family to the location if they wanted to visit us and not have to stay in a hotel.

A Great Deal

Stacy was friendly and very helpful, she would respond almost immediately to text messages. Neighborhood was safe and very friendly. Location was ideal. Nasa Space Center, Kemah Boardwalk, and Galveston, nicknamed the Island, were all within easy driving distances. Great restaurants within miles, especially Tapwater, known for fresh seafood. Live jazz music at Katie's Bar at Bayclif, three miles away, plus Barge 295 in Seabrook, both had top-notch musicians playing for tips. We loved the area and discovered plenty of wonderful places and people. We were invited to a neighbor crayfish boil. The cozy Seashack was well thought out, with a full kitchen complete with a number of fun gadgets, including a tiny stovetop espresso machine which we loved, great cupboard and closet spaces, and a neat outside covered porch ideal for drinking morning coffee, and horse, bird, or rabbit watching. We are planning to come back next year, hoping to spend several weeks there.

Perfect couple getaway weekend!!!

My husband and I wanted a weekend away from kids for just ourselves and this place was perfect!! It was only 35 minutes from our home so still close enough if there was an emergency. We didn’t need anything big but we wanted more privacy than a hotel could offer. It had everything we needed so we only had to bring ourselves, suitcases and some food as the description was spot on. House was very clean and everything inside was new and well kept. The host reached out to me way before check in and sent the code so there was no worry about getting inside. When we got there they even had 3 bottles of wine, a bottle of champagne, about 4 different single beers, and a basket of snacks so we could immediately kick up our feet and relax! Truly made the experience extra special! It says it sleeps 4 people but that would have been really tight. I would recommend this place to any couple wanting to get away and have some alone time!! My husband and I will definitely be back again!! Very soon!! I can’t put into words how much we loved our stay here this weekend!! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home !! ☺️

Adorable

The bungalow provided us with everything we were looking for. Better than a hotel stay. There were drinks, coffee, & snacks provided which were sufficient until we were able to get to the grocery store. Quiet neighborhood. The AC worked very quickly to get to cooler temperatures during a hot weather weekend. Host was very helpful & responsive.

Cute Bungalow.

Very close to the things we were there for. Super cutely decorated. Very quaint. We really enjoyed watching movies, sorting on the porch. We had some highway traffic noise, buy mostly it was toleranle and quiet. We would've enjoyed being outside more if the grass had been cut, but no cimplaints otherwise. Would definitely stay again.

Meet the baby

I have stayed here before. It has been my favorite and will continue to be. It snowed while I was there. Stacy was very accommodating. I had to stay 2 extra days. It was not a problem and I was welcomed. This VRBO is the best in the area. Only concern is stay away from neighbors garden. He is very accusatory about how close you get to it. Other than that I love this VRBO. I recommend it to anyone.

Quiet anc Cozy!

My stay was unique in that it was not for pleasure but rather for school. I stayed 4 months and was extremely impressed. This is a very comfortable little house and would be perfect for a couple's getaway. I found plenty to do in the area during my off time. Lots of fishing and great restaurants including the very popular Gilhooleys. It's very nice and quiet and I would probably say my favorite part is the porch with the fire pit. I would highly recommend this little get-away.

Super cozy and quiet. Everything worked as it should. Great A/C considering summer heat. Would’ve liked a lil more signage (reflectors?), towards prop as iphone maps shows neighbors driveway a bit hard at night. Nice pier nearby and small town, overall GREAT !

Secret Getaway

For a discreet getaway, this was an ideal location. A little off the beaten path but not lacking amenities or views. The property was nicely maintained and the host was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed the coziness of the space and seclusion of the location. I even got in some unexpected bird watching and got in some equine talk with my host (horses on the adjacent property). Cleanliness wasn't an issue, grocery stores are near enough, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I have no notes.
