About this property

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!

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.

Cozy Sea Shack

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.

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.

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!

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!

Exactly what we needed

This cute little sea shack was perfect for me and my husband during our visit to Kemah for a wedding. Everything was exactly as listed, we especially enjoyed the cozy fire pit on the porch. Stacy had a welcome basket with wine and goodies for us when we arrived. Overall a great place for a couple, would definitely come back!

Perfect location

This was the perfect location for our Memorial day weekend in Galveston and the surrounding areas for me, my husband and 5 yo. The area was peaceful and serene, close to the main roads to get us down to Kemah boardwalk, the Galveston Seawall, the Strand, Moody Gardens, and NASA. The home itself was charming,comfortable, and very clean. It was equipped with everything we needed to make us feel at home.
