Perfect vacation spot

We have stayed in many homes in the area and this one is our favorite by far! Everything is exquisitely decorated inside and out. The layout of the home has the guest bedrooms separate from the master, providing some privacy for the master. Large balcony upstairs for relaxing or eating outdoors- covered and uncovered. Large space downstairs outdoors for grillin, chillin, water activities in the canal. Plenty of space for the dogs to run. Gated securely- even gated to the water- so you feel safe with kids or dogs. You can open the large gates to the water when you want access to the dock. Beach is a 3 minute drive. Everything worked great, air conditioner was nice and cold, inside and out are very clean, and the host was very responsive.

My family and I had the best time staying in Sea Isle at Mr. and Mrs. Hinojosa’s home. Their home was warm and inviting and in immaculate condition. The beds were comfortable, pillows were plush, nice bathrooms, great living room with very comfortable couches, a great kitchen, THE DECK! The deck and patio space were top notch! My boys fished their hearts out. I loved that we could park our vehicles in the secured driveway that was literally steps away from the house/downstairs patio. We will definitely be back to stay.

Our stay at Poco Bueno was fantastic! It had everything our family of 5 plus two dogs needed. Fishing off the deck out back, the delicious food at the marina restaurant, and the beach nearby made for a relaxing tranquil stay away from the congestion of Galveston proper. The property owners were easy to get ahold of with any questions. When we were worn out from the day we really appreciated the smart tv upstairs and downstairs while enjoying the shade and breeze below on ground level in the heat of the late afternoon sun. The decor is fun and inviting and the AC worked really well. Comfortable beds for all! We will be back to Poco Bueno!

Rest & Relaxation!

We had a cery enjoyable time here! We sat outside every night enjoying the vreeze and the kids kayaked (one provided and we brought a few of our own) and they found baby jellyfish (that didnt sting) in the canal. The house was supee cute, very clean and the beds were comfy! The only thing we wish we had brought with us was the corn hole game.

Awesome Memorial weekend

Ill start with saying thatLiz was a great host. She communicated with us as needed. The place was awesome. My nieces and nephew loved fishing out the back. My mother enjoyed the views. The location is close to the marina so that allowed us to get fishing tackle and any last minute groceries that we needed. We just had a great time. We would love to stay again.

Annual fishing trip

We booked this property for an annual fishing trip. Our party consisted of me and my wife, our kids and their significant others. The house was a perfect location on the canal and we were able to dock our boat right at the house. We loved that it was fenced in since my son brought his puppy. The house had ample space for all 8 adults. It was nice and clean and was just as advertised. My son even commented that it is probably his favorite house we have ever rented in Sea Isle. Owner was easy to communicate with as well. We would definitely rent this house again!

Definitely booking this Again!

We are VERY new to the Galveston area! We are super familiar with Padre and Rockport, but now that my son goes to Texas A&M Galveston, we have been going more and this house was PERFECT for our group! So glad we chose this property. The location/neighborhood with the marina and restaurants was a bonus! The house was super clean and decorated to a tee. Great for entertaining with lots of seating areas upstairs and downstairs! The fenced in yard made relaxing even easier, not worrying about the dog getting out! We will for sure be booking this house again! The owners/manager were great and very responsive (even sending me a baby blanket that i left there :))

Perfect Family Getaway Home

This was a great location close to the beach and bay. Enjoyed the canal views and fishing off the rear deck. The house was very clean and comfortable and wonderfully decorated with a beach feeling. The lower and upper decks were great for spending time with family and enjoying the view and the upper deck was enjoyable in the morning an evenings to experience the gulf air and breeze. The house was completely furnished and had everything that we needed to spend a week at the beach. Location was great and could walk to marina and beach area or use a golf cart for super quick access. Amazing sunsets at the community pier in the evening. Everyone enjoyed the stay so much that we are already planning our next trip. The kayak was fun and floating in the canal was great in the afternoons after spending time at the beach earlier in the day.

This was a great house for our family vacation! The layout for the house worked really well. There was plenty of space indoors and out. We took advantage of all of it! We enjoyed being on the canal and fished off of the dock. Both the upstairs deck and the downstairs area had plenty of spaces to gather. We rented a golf cart which made trips to the beach very easy. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, etc. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Communication was excellent! Everyone agreed that we would definitely come back!

Wonder home

During my family's recent visit, we had the pleasure of staying at this home that exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the cleanliness and beauty of the property. The house was immaculately maintained and every room was spotless and well-appointed. The peaceful setting of the house was the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful landscaping, we felt like we were in our own private paradise. We enjoyed spending time outdoors on the spacious deck, taking in the serene surroundings and enjoying the fresh air. Inside, the house was tastefully decorated and thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. The open-concept layout made it easy for our family to spend quality time together, whether we were cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, lounging in the cozy living room, or playing games at the dining table. Overall, our experience at the vacation house was nothing short of amazing. We had a fun and memorable time together as a family, and we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing retreat.
