Great Oceanside House

The house was exactly as advertised. The host had very thoughtful supplies, so we had most everything we needed. Easy walk to the beach, and the downstairs is really nice and covered. We hope to be back in the future!

Great time!

We had a great time at the tiki house! The house was great for what we needed. The downstairs porch is amazing and we stayed down there the majority of the time. The beach was very easy to get to with the whole family. The only things we did not enjoy were the mosquitoes, they were horrible. Also, there is a house directly in front of the tiki house that blocks a lot of the view of the beach but you can still see it from the side. All around it’s a great house and the host is amazing as well.

Great house & location!

Loved how close the house was to the beach and the ground level entertainment area! Although the landscaping was dead & just not upkept, probably due to the cold weather, we still enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend this house to persons with kiddos that want their own space. Great deck to watch sunrise. Would definitely book again.

Family getaway

Beachside family retreat was amazing! Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful accommodations. We had 3 elementary aged children, grandparents and the house was great for everyone. The private beach is about 25 steps away and you can watch the family from either balcony’s. The house was very clean, spacious, well stocked with all your cooking needs, the AC worked great and the board games were perfect for rainy days. All the rooms were super clean with comfy beds! The tiki bar was such a nice touch to a beach house!

Great get away!

This property is amazing and has everything you need. It is about a 1 minute walk to the beach and the views are amazing from the balconys, even being on the second row. We had 5 adults and 6 kids and all had a blast with bunk rooms for the kids, and all sets of adults got their own room. Kitchen had more than most rentals we are used to, something we will know for next time...we can pack much lighter! Plenty of beach items available for use. The Tiki bar/outside area was a blast! Outside tv, dart board, and cornhole made for fun evenings after relaxing on the beach all day. Close to store for cooking ingredients we forgot. We will definitely be back!

Quick getaway

Our family decided to have a quick 3 night getaway to Galveston. We stayed at Tiki Time for the first time. Nicole was very helpful with the booking process. Great location! The kids enjoyed walking to the beach in the early morning and evening to look for shells. We did have an issue when we checked in with the kitchen faucet that was quickly taken care of by Nicole. Great communication! Thank you!

Great family stay

We enjoyed the convenient location to the beach. With little kids and old people, being close to the beach is worth the extra price. I’ve rented houses in this neighborhood but across the street and this is much better as far as running back to the house and not having to pack for the beach. I don’t know what the recent reviewer was referring to when they said this house “needs updating.” House was nicely decorated and very clean. Even the front loading washing machine didn’t smell. The adult beds were very comfortable- mattresses were firm and comfortable, bedding was nice (I have rented many beach houses where the beds are terrible and the linens are scratchy and uncomfortable and was glad this house had the kind of beds I expect at home.) Kitchen was very well stocked with basic spices and every pot, pan, bowl, etc that we needed and we cooked every meal at home on this trip. Downstairs area was perfect for kids and pups as it was totally fenced. Tiki bar was nice. There were many outdoor places to sit and visit. Lots of beach toys for the kids. The kids (teens) did report the bunks were uncomfortable. That is the only problem anyone in our group reported to me. Overall a fun time. Would highly recommend. Price is a bit high for Texas (it’s the same that I pay in the Virgin Islands), but house was great. Don’t leave anything on the beach though because someone did steal our brand new shelter. Not the house/ owner’s fault.

Needs work.

The location of the property and how close to the beach was great. The pictures do not show the house directly in front of it so the pictures are a little deciving. The tiki bar was very cool and we used it a lot, very nice addition. The remodel of the inside of the home was average due to the floor is very unlevel and coming apart so you have to watch where you step. The ceiling in the great room had a hole in it which I immediately called the owner about. Also we a small A/C issue that (me) the renter had to fix with the help of a technition over the phone. Also the deck is very dangerous as it was falling apart (I will try and attach pictures) but we didn't notice this until our teenager leaned against it the night before we left. We did ask for an hour extension and the owner gladly allowed us to do so, that was very nice. Lastly the owners have multiple cameras placed all over the property. I think I counted 4 cameras total (outside). Which gave my family the impression that we were being watched. I mean why do you need those many cameras? Overall 3 out of 5 stars !!

Nicole is extremely helpful, very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. Our house was very clean and had all of the necessities for our stay (rainy day games, TV's, and a cool, Tiki bar for relaxing). The Tiki Hut bar area is fenced in so we could keep an eye on our little ones, while the teens enjoyed the bikes and the adults relaxed in this secluded community beach area. We loved this beach house!

Excellent Time

We had the best time at Tiki Time, despite the weather. The house was the cleanest house i have ever checked into. The view was perfect and beach access was right there. The beds were so comfortable and the house had plenty of room for two families of 4 (there was even one bedroom that went unused). The kitchen had all we needed to cook all meals at home, but we did enjoy the West End Marina for dinner one night. The owner was kind and responsive; and the check in/out process was SO easy. We will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Wylie

Host profile image
We are a family of 6 living in Houston who love visiting Galveston every chance we get. We enjoy hiking, biking and water sports. We fell in love with Sea Isle after renting a house in the neighborhood one summer and immediately began looking for a vacation home in the vicinity.

Why they chose this property

We love the open gathering area in the kitchen/dining/living room, and the beach views from the windows and decks. The downstairs is a wonderful area to hang out with family and friends and the proximity to the beach can't be beat! But we also love the neighborhood - it is so quiet and friendly, much different than our city neighborhood!

What makes this property unique

Steps from the beach, expansive views of the water. A tiki bar with refreshing breezes to enjoy when you've had enough sun, and comfortable beds to collapse into when you've soaked up all the bliss you can handle for the day.

The marina and the playground are close by. We love having the bar and grill in the neighborhood - the food is delicious and the vibe of the restaurant is perfect. It gets even better when live music is on the schedule!

The home's location in the West End of Galveston allows you to easily go "into the city" for any of the tourist attractions, but you'll be away from the hustle of the tourist-crowded beaches and restaurants. When you're in Sea Isle, every minute truly feels like Island Time.
