The Sea Shack--Perfect For Mardi Gras, Rodeo, Blocks Away From Boat Ramp And Bay

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!

Cute Bungalow.

Very close to the things we were there for. Super cutely decorated. Very quaint. We really enjoyed watching movies, sorting on the porch. We had some highway traffic noise, buy mostly it was toleranle and quiet. We would've enjoyed being outside more if the grass had been cut, but no cimplaints otherwise. Would definitely stay again.

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 !

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.

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.

First, I must say that Stacy was very responsive and her hospitality was top notch. The Sea Shack was very clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home. It also came with an excellent assortment of complimentary snacks and drinks. The area was quiet and enjoyable; very close to good food and good entertainment. I will definitely recommend to friends and family. Should I ever come stay in the area again the Sea Shack will be my first choice.

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!
