About this house rental
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 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!

We really enjoyed our time here. It was nice and cozy and perfect for the two of us. I really loved all the little things that made it feel like a home . . . coffee service, snack bowl, beverages in the fridge. Would definitely stay here again.

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 !

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.

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.

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!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Seashack! Super clean and comfy, just what we needed during our 2 day trip. Stacy was super communicative throughout our stay. Great host! My husband and I have agreed that the next time we visit Kemah, we will look to stay here again! 5 stars!

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!

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!

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.

The "Sea Shack" was the perfect getaway! The location was the perfect distance to everything we wanted to do, including Galveston Island and parts of Seabrook and Kemah! Would recommend if you're looking for a quiet getaway within driving distance to the beach!

Property is locateed in a residental area about a quarter mile from Galveston Bay and a San Leon waterfront park. Area is very quiet; parking is limited on site, and shares an access road with 2 other properties. Close to Kemah Boardwalk and stores (HEB, Kroger, Wal-Mart all witin 5-6 miles). House is well stocked with kitchen items and full-sized appliances, plus a dishwasher. Very nicely decorated; ample storage in the bedroom and small walk-in closet. Bed was VERY comfortable. About 390 square feet inside, with a nice sized covered porch, gas grill, and gas fire pit (we did not use the fire pit). Only item it did not have was a hair dryer. Stacy was VERY easy to contact, responded promptly, and very accommodating. Overall, very nice! Would recommend!

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.

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 !! ☺️

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.

Totally Relaxing
It was so nice after being in the hustle and bustle of Galveston, to come back to this relaxing place. The neighborhood was so quiet. But you could go 4 blocks and be at the water,We would definetely stay again.

My writing retreat...
I booked this property as a writing retreat for myself. I needed a quiet place away from home and within my budget! The Sea Shack was EVERYTHING I needed! I was extremely comfortable and able to get a lot of work done! It was very conveniently located and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! The host was truly helpful and kind! I would definitely return!

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.

Getaway
I really didn’t have a chance to enjoy the property, I was gone all day every day doing medical stuff with family. I did like the location, it was very quiet and I needed that after the long days I endured while there. I would stay here again in the future if it isn’t booked. The host was very kind and patient with me and my minor problems. The house is cute and cozy.
