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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

Little Tuna

Our stay at Little Tuna was fantastic! The communication prior to our arrival was great and this continued throughout our stay. When we needed forks for a dinner party I contacted them and they were delivered within hours. My husband and I were very comfortable and felt right at home. We would definitely book this getaway again!

Spring Break

The house was clean when we arrived. Our check in instructions were sent on time. Property was just as described, no surprises. We had one issue with hot water and received a quick response and maintenance came the same day. We had six people in our party - two families. We had plenty of room for all. We would stay here again.

Wonderful stay

Property was very peaceful and clean. The yard was a very large and will maintained. Communication was the best with the property managers. So quick to respond to my messages and quickly addressed any issues I had. Beach was so easy to get to and the fishing pier on the community was a nice experience. I would recommend you bring some groceries ahead of time so you don’t have to drive around looking for items. Everything you needed in that house was available to use and was a very nice convenience.

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.

Disappointing

Disapointing, the bed in the main bedroom is only 18" off the floor and uncomfortable, the toilet does not flush properly, the light and fan in the bedroom is controlled by the switch in the living room. The floor in front of the refrigerator is getting soft, the toaster does not work on half, there was no can opener or frying pan in the kitchen, hard to make breakfast without a frying pan or toaster, the garbage disposal does not work. The ceiling on the first level deck is falling in, the steps to the upper deck are very dangerous, repairs made to the deck have not used the proper materials and have never been painted. The lower level bedroom has a very bad odor. The whole property just looked like the management did not care about the quality the the house!

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.

Sad trip, bad people

We booked this trip to visit family and be with our grandparents for some of our grandmothers final days. She passed while we were there dealing with this mess. None of the description is accurate, I swear it has to be a mistake from a completely different property. We had to pay for our dogs to go to a kennel because it is NOT pet friendly. The whole fence was down between the gate and neighbor side of the fence. Couldn’t even be temporarily fixed while we got in contact with someone who could fix it because the metal had bent AND rusted so it had been like that for a long time. It looked like someone cleaned up in a hurry but there was a fire still smoldering in the fire pit and we got there after 5 pm. Getting in contact with someone about fixing the fence was a complete joke. It was a person sending automated messages acting like they weren’t available. It was obvious though because they made the same misspellings every other word. It was so frustrating. So we had no choice but to make our dogs suffer that 20 hour drive and then pay for a kennel for the remainder of our stay. When asked to fix that and the washing machine because it was broken too, they said they couldn’t get to the house for 4 days because they had issues at other houses. Well I only booked 5 nights so you may as well not come at all. They told us that someone needed to be there when they got there, we needed to stay out of the house but not to talk to the third party repairman.

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.
