Coastal bungalow with huge yard, comfy deck and close to 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.

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: Looking for beach gear for your Galveston getaway? We have you covered! Beach chairs and tents can be ready at the house upon your arrival. Message us for details and rates.

WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.

Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.

Pet Policy: Up to 2 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if you’re planning on bringing your furry friend!

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

Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.

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.

Needs updating
Very disappointed! Let’s start with the bed in the main bedroom, very uncomfortably and sits just inches off the ground. No TVs in bedrooms, no light switch in master bedroom. There are holes in the walls in several areas of the home. The property is in a very good location with easy access to the beach. This property would make a great vacation rental if the owner would invest in upgrades!! No ones wants to sleep on an uncomfortable bed on vacation!

could have been better
It's a cute house but definitely needs some updates. One of the chairs at the fire pit you couldn't sit in cause it was broken, the lights on the roof balcony most of them didn't work, the dishwasher wasn't working, the handle in the shower was broken. The washer broke with our clothes and water in it couldn't get it to drain made the downstairs room stink like dirty laundry had to wring out my clothes and hang them outside. Reached out about it at least 5 times through this app and their phone number they kept telling me someone was coming to fix it for two days no one came.

Super cute beach house in the perfect location to walk to the beach and to enjoy the bay! The neighborhood has so much to do for kids! We enjoyed walking to the gulf side as well as the marina and bay side. Russell was very responsive and made communication easy. We hope to stay again!

Great House for small group
My husband and I had a nice stay at the little tuna with our pup. Very close to the beach and a great nearby restaurant at the marina in the neighborhood. The beds were comfy but for being 6 months pregnant it was a little tough getting out of the very low bed. Would not recommend to anyone who is past 7 months. Another addition that would be nice would be some sort of towel rack to hang your bath towels on. Although needs a few updates, we would stay here again.

Quaint retreat close to beach
Had a fun stay at this property. Brought our dogs and they had a blast in the spacious yard. Lots of seating areas outside. Property is close to beach, just a short walk away. Good views. The one bath has a single sink and small shower, which worked fine for us. Kitchen was pretty well stocked... no toaster, but we travel with our electric griddle so that wasn't an issue. As other guests have mentioned, the main bedroom bed, is pretty low to the ground, and the air conditioner/cooler which is in that room can get noisy. Advice: it's Galveston and coastal. Mosquitoes are a thing. Bring your bug spray, and use it Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our stay at the Little Tuna.

Great Getaway
Great stay at Little Tuna! Russell was a great host and very easy to communicate with. The home was clean and perfect for our group of 4. I know it says it sleeps 11, but that would probably be a little tight. Loved all the outdoor seating! Was bummed we didn't get to use the firepit, but it is a great touch. The location to the beach is perfect. Less than a five minute walk. I would definitely recommend this home!

My family and I had a great time. The communication with our host was top notch from the beginning. He even checked on us during our stay to make sure we’ve settled in nicely. The home accommodation for my big family was perfect. My kids enjoyed the big backyard and the playground. We took advantage of the bbq grill that was there. Sadly we didn’t get the chance to use the fire pit due to a thunderstorm but it’s there if guests want to roast some marshmallows during their stay. We especially loved that we were so close to the beach. The home was fully stocked. We had everything we needed. We will definitely be back, for sure!

Cute beach house in a sleepy neighborhood
We have been to Galveston quite a bit in the past, and we have found that we prefer to stay on the west side of the island as it is generally less crowded. This time we stayed at this cute house and we were not disappointed! We really liked the beachy feel to the house and the décor inside added to the overall vibe of the place. Another huge plus was that the neighborhood it's located in was very quiet and calm. We were able to fully relax and unwind which was a huge plus. And being so close to the beach was also great. We were able to load up the car with all our stuff and be unloading everything within a few minutes. We had a great time and hope to come back!
