Poco Bueno House, Canalfront Family Getaway in Sea Isle
Bring the whole family, bring the boat, and make yourself at home. Welcome to Poco Bueno House, a spacious canalfront retreat in Galveston’s popular Sea Isle community, where beach days, waterfront adventures, and quality family time come together.
Located between West Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and offers something for everyone—from fishing and kayaking right off the private dock to relaxing on the decks while watching the sunset.
With a fully fenced yard, pet-friendly accommodations, easy beach access, and room for the whole family, Poco Bueno House is the kind of place you’ll want to return to year after year.
⭐ Why Guests Love Poco Bueno House

🌊 Your Own Waterfront Playground
The private canalfront dock is where vacation days begin.

Anglers will appreciate the above ground fishing lights and fish-cleaning station, making it easy to enjoy the water from sunrise through the evening.
Afterward, rinse off sandy feet and beach gear at the outdoor rinse area before heading upstairs for dinner and sunset views.

What a wonderful, peaceful place to stay! Hosts were fantastic with communication, everything was laid out well, just the right size for a vacation with the grandkids. Close to a great beach spot and not a bad drive into Galveston for museums and Moody Gardens. Canal swimming was more fun for the kids than the beach! Clean and calming. Thank You!
Such a perfect little getaway! The kids had an amazing time, the house was super clean and cozy, and it worked out great for both our family and our dogs. We’ll definitely be back!
We've taken a number of weekend getaways, this far exceeded our expectations.
Our host (Liz) was excellent, the property was very well taken care of, just getting a chance to relax was what my wife and I needed the most.
Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay and relax, fish a little or just read a book.
Liz was such an excellent host. The place was cozy. Had everything we could think of and then some more. A big fan of the Margaritaville machine! Our family had alot of fun, the place is very relaxing and lots of fishing. Would definitely stay here again.
House was the perfect size for our family of seven (3 college kids, a high schooler and seven year old). We enjoyed the fishing off the dock at the house and in the bay. The kayak was fun too!!
We were in town for a golf tournament and for visiting friends in the neighborhood. The place was incredibly clean and well appointed. The hosts were extremely helpful and communicative. We’d definitely rent again!
We had the best time the property is located in a great location! The house is decorated very tastefully and the amenities are amazing. Fishing off the deck and watching the sunsets were some of our favorites. Liz was very accommodating and even allowed for a late check-out. Highly recommend this vacation rental!
Wonderful and relaxing trip. Great location. The house was a gem and in the best spot! Great community fishing pier and loved zipping around in golf cart (rental). Across the street from the beach!! Highly recommend.
This was our second time to stay here. Love the downstairs outdoor tv and bar area. Great location. Very quick ( could walk) golf cart ride to the sea isle marina/pool and restaurant and close enough to walk to the beach if needed we chose to rent a golf cart to get the beach which we enjoyed.
The house is clean and thoughtfully equipped with what you need and more. Enjoyed staying here!
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.
One of the best places I've ever stayed. It was absolutely spotless and the décor matched everything well. The pictures matched exactly and honestly doesn't give enough credit. If you want someplace secluded to relax with friends or family I've yet to see or experience anywhere better.
The house was super clean - spotless and as pictured. Check in was easy and the house had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. My grandkids enjoyed swimming at the house and there were toys and yard games for them as well. There was easy access to the beach as well as to the neighborhood pool. We had a relaxing trip and would definitely stay here again. The Hinojosa's were wonderful host.
The Poco Bueno is an amazing home. It was very clean and well equipped. We loved the upper and lower decks. It’s very family and kid friendly. Close to the beach and not far from Galveston. It’s a peaceful home!
We highly recommend it. The amenities were great!
We needed a place to stay for our friend's 60th Birthday who lives in Galveston. What a gem we found! Perfect location, serene water views, fenced yard for our pup and everything you can think of you would need in a rental. Would definitely rent again!
The owners of this property take great care of their home. It's very evident that it is owned by individuals and not an investor. The beds are great! The sheets were so soft. Everything worked great! Its lovingly maintained. The vibe is great. Its better than the photos!
I booked a quick weekend stay at Casa Poco Bueno for our group of 5. The home was adorable with a nautical/ beachy decor that really added to the relaxing vibe. The accomdations were wonderful! The property owners are excellent communicators and very gracious. We enjoyed taking our boat out for evening sunsets and fishing excursions, swimming, dining local and simply spending time with family! As an added bonus, having our fur-family members with us was great! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!
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!
Omg! It was decorated so pretty!! It was very relaxing! There was nothing you needed , that they didn’t already have there for you! We have stayed in many VRBO rentals , but this was the Best!! Location was great for us!! Oh an my husband uses a scooter, an walker an the house was open enough for him to move around with his walker an the restroom also!! I just loved my stay!! Thank you so much for sharing your home♥️
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!
