Tiny Bubbles -Hot Tub-Screened Game Room-Spacious Decks-EV Charger

Tiny Bubbles - whether in the hot tub or your champagne glass - a perfect escape from the daily routine.

Summer time is the best time at Tiny Bubbles with sun, sand, waves and other activities at Tiny Bubbles and along Hwy 87.

Our wifi-enabled beach retreat in the Emerald Beach I subdivision has 3 bedrooms- the master has a king bed with twin futon and twin daybed in closet, 2nd bedroom has a queen bed and queen futon, and 'the kids room' has a double/twin bunk bed and queen bed.. One of the bean bags in the living room opens to a double mattress.

The large covered deck overlooking the canal is enjoyed by all either for relaxing, reading, or conversation. Nap on the ample chairs on the decks! Glide yourself to sleep! Continue on the deck to sit at the table for cards or a meal under the umbrella. Finally there is the hot tub seating 6 with a sun bathing deck over it. If the hot tub is left clean, the property fee of $100 will be refunded.

Watch the sunset or drink your morning coffee on the north side deck. Enjoy the overhead view of the kids playing on the basketball court down below.

The downstairs screened-in party room was the addition after the hurricane to replace the garages lost. It features a bar area including sink and full shareable refrigerator with icemaker. Custom benches encircle the room and there are 2 tables with chairs and games such as foosball, darts, ping pong and washers. There are bar height chairs for sitting at the bar area or around post tables. A DirectTV satellite TV sits on the bar for the sports enthusiasts to watch their games or for some music. Just outside the door is a custom Pitts & Spitts smoker/grill perfect for smoking all those delicious Texas meats and grilling 'shrimps on the barbie. It uses propane or charcoal or wood for smoking meats. Also there is a separate flat top grill for burgers, hot dogs, pancakes, etc. There are 2 picnic tables by the grill.

There is also a fishing table on the side of house with a deep sink to wash the fish you catch. Also, the outdoor shower is good to rinse off that sand and salt water from the beach before you get in the hot tub or go upstairs.

If you enjoy lying around after a long walk on the beach, the living room and master bedroom have Roku streaming TV for you to view your favorite channels with your accounts. There are couches with 2 recliners each and one separate reclining chair making the den the ultimate relaxing spot.

The spacious primary bedroom has a very comfy king size bed and twin futon with a a flat screen Roku TV. The primary bedroom also has it own private bathroom, closet(twin daybed) and locking door from the rest of the house.

We have provided all the linens and bath towels you will need. Beds are already made. Just please bring your own beach towels for use on the deck when using the hot tub or the beach!

Every morning, beach combing is fun to see what the waves have brought in overnight! The beach is full of beautiful shells, sea beans, sharks teeth and sea glass to take home or to make arts and crafts with. The sand is ideal for that great sand castle you've been wanting to build.

There is an electric vehicle (EV) charging station in the car port.

There is plenty of bird watching if you like that, some of the birds we still have not identified! Watch as they fly over the canal or visit nearby High Island Bird Sanctuary.

We want you to enjoy Tiny Bubbles as much as we do.

Come and enjoy lots of fun in the sun. Our home is great for family vacations or private get-a-ways. The renter must be at least 25 years old. If hosting a reunion, party, or reception, an extra event fee of $100 is needed.

You will find mobile device charging stations with multiple USB ports in each of the bedrooms and the den to keep all your electronic devices charged. Just bring your own charging cords!
We are so excited to share our beach home to families that will respect and appreciate it like we do.

Thank you for visiting our website!

Great house, plenty of space, perfect getaway

We went for a family getaway and had a fantastic time! The house was wonderful with so many things to do. Plenty of deck space for relaxing and morning coffee, game/party room downstairs with lots to do, and the hot tubs were perfect after a long day at the beach! We were always entertained even though it rained 2 days we were there. Our family will definitely be going back.

Magical Birthday Getaway

Me and my friends had a wonderful stay for my birthday weekend. The home is spacious and was accommodating for all the different people in my group. We loved all the patio options and the game room is amazing! Also, 2 hot tubs! I feel like we have to stay again to make the most of all the home has to offer. The hosts are really sweet and responsive. The home was in amazing condition upon arrival. I would for sure love to stay here again :)

Such a beautiful home and amazing experience!

This house was everything we were expecting plus some! It's a great location with the beach right down the street and tons of local restaurants. The house itself was immaculate; from the ground floor up! The rooms had tons of avaliable sleeping areas. The game room was definitely a blast. And the hot tubs were perfect! Not to mention all of the unique plant and animal life all around! If you get the chance to book the house do so, it's worth it!(its also booked ALLLLL the time so take the chance!)

FAMILY VACATION

This was our second family vacation at Tiny Bubbles. We just love this place, and feel so at home. One of my favorite things here is being serenaded by the birds in the morning as my husband and I enjoy our coffee while the children sleep! My little boy's favorite thing is "his" little closet room, as he calls it! LOL! Joy is such a sweet lady and easy to communicate with. The house was clean, and had everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The beds are so comfortable, were made up with fresh linens when we arrived. You can tell that Joy puts a lot of thought into making sure your stay is pleasant, and comfortable, such as a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge, and chocolates on the bedside tables. There is just too much to list! By the way, love the new floors!

Tiny Bubbles Get away

The house and property was beautiful. We, of course, enjoyed the hot tub and the quite porches. Having coffee in the morning on the balcony was also very enjoyable. Should we return to the area, I would definitely check the availability of Tiny Bubbles.

Nice beach getaway

The property was conveniently located to the beach. The property owner provided great communication. We were disappointed that only 1 of the 2 hot tubs was operational but appreciate being informed of that before checking in. The the property is listed as being able to sleep 12 however we only had 10 adults and think it wouldve been difficult to comfortably sleep 12. Also having a small bed in the master bathroom closet seemed quite odd. It worked for sleeping 1 more person but was not the most convenient when needing to go to the bathroom if someone was in the room or if you needed to go to the room and someone was in the bathroom. The check out instructions on the fridge were fairly extensive compared to other rentals i have been to but the check out instructions the owner messaged me were very simple and short so that led to not being sure if we go by the fridge instructions or the ones i was sent. All in all we would go back

Family vacation

Everyone loved this place. We had everything we needed plus more. Kids enjoyed the game room. I enjoyed the hot tub and deck. I loved waking up and just walking to the beach. I could hear the ocean from the deck, which was relaxing. The grill had an issue but the host came out with a new grill and was very friendly! I highly recommend this place. If I plan to visit Galveston in the future I'm definitely staying here again.

Great family get away!

Our stay at Tiny Bubbles was fantastic! We loved the comfortable home and all of the decks to enjoy the sunsets, fireworks and amazing weather. The two hot tubs were great for the adults and teens to all have their own space. Going during the “low” season was wonderful! Hardly anyone on the peninsula and the beach was like it was our own.

Family Vacation Made Wonderful

Every year we take an end of summer mini vacation to Crystal Beach. We have stayed in many different houses and Tiny Bubbles has by far been our favorite. The game room made the hot part of the day enjoyable, my five kids really enjoyed the basketball goal, bicycles & extra toys. I really enjoyed the option of the upstairs or downstairs hot tubs, the bedside pillow mints, all the extras in the kitchen, and the responsiveness from the hosts. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach or to the snow cone shack which was a huge plus! We loved the flowers and vegetation surrounding the whole house as well. I could not say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Next time we hope to stay longer !
