This place was amazing! All that we wanted and more. The place had nicely stocked essentials and that was greatly appreciated. Owner was responsive. Tiki bar was fun and such a nice place to sit and relax.
The home was very well appointed with everything we could ever need and access to the beach was just a short walk. We also could sit on the patio and listen to the beach. The tiki bar below was a dream for my husband to watch football and enjoy Sunday afternoon.
The house was in great shape, the beach a short walk, and the tiki space downstairs was a wonderful place to relax or recover from the sun. Definitely lived up to its listing!

We had an amazing stay at the Summer Beachside Retreat! The house is in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood and just a short walk from the beach. The views were beautiful and the home itself had everything we needed for a comfortable family trip, from a well-stocked kitchen to beach towels and boogie boards. My kids used them every single day and had the time of their lives riding the waves.Nicole was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, making check-in and any questions a breeze. Highly recommend this rental for families looking for a relaxing, fun-filled beach vacation. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Wonderful place to have a family vacation. Tiki house beautiful! The family loved the closeness to the beach. Many sunrises and sunsets were viewed from the deck. Will definitely recommend this beautiful beach house.

My family stayed here over spring break. The house was perfect! I was so impressed with the comforts that it provided: all beds were super comfortable, large TVs in each room, great internet connection, open concept, FANTASTIC OUTDOOR SPACE AND ACCESS TO THE BEACH! The host was so quick to respond to any questions and was very kind! I definitely recommend and our family looks forward to going back soon!

Loved how close the house was to the beach and the ground level entertainment area! Although the landscaping was dead & just not upkept, probably due to the cold weather, we still enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend this house to persons with kiddos that want their own space. Great deck to watch sunrise. Would definitely book again.

Great location and amazing outdoor area! The ground floor Tiki Hut area is amazing. Ground floor Private bathroom, refrigerator, ice maker and TV. You don’t even have to go upstairs. Upstairs was great as well. Will rent again soon.

Thank you for your kind words and wonderful review! It was truly a joy to work with you and have your family at TIKI TIME GALVESTON! We would love to have you back again anytime! Thanks again!
Nicole is extremely helpful, very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. Our house was very clean and had all of the necessities for our stay (rainy day games, TV's, and a cool, Tiki bar for relaxing). The Tiki Hut bar area is fenced in so we could keep an eye on our little ones, while the teens enjoyed the bikes and the adults relaxed in this secluded community beach area. We loved this beach house!

Beachside family retreat was amazing! Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful accommodations. We had 3 elementary aged children, grandparents and the house was great for everyone. The private beach is about 25 steps away and you can watch the family from either balcony’s. The house was very clean, spacious, well stocked with all your cooking needs, the AC worked great and the board games were perfect for rainy days. All the rooms were super clean with comfy beds! The tiki bar was such a nice touch to a beach house!

Thank you! We loved having your group at TIKI TIME and are thrilled to know you enjoyed the house and had a wonderful time with your family! Your review means so much to us and we would love to have you all back again anytime in the future!
We had a great time at the tiki house! The house was great for what we needed. The downstairs porch is amazing and we stayed down there the majority of the time. The beach was very easy to get to with the whole family. The only things we did not enjoy were the mosquitoes, they were horrible. Also, there is a house directly in front of the tiki house that blocks a lot of the view of the beach but you can still see it from the side. All around it’s a great house and the host is amazing as well.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! I'm so happy to hear that the Tiki House worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the downstairs porch — it really is a great space to relax and spend time together. I'm glad the beach access was convenient, and I truly appreciate your feedback about the mosquitoes and the view. While I wish I could control those things, I completely understand how they can affect the experience. Thank you again for staying with us, and I’d be honored to host you all again in the future!
My family and I rented Tiki Time and the best week! The property was very well maintained and accommodated our group nicely. The owner Nicole was the icing on the cake and was very friendly and pleasant to work with. The check was simple and there were great views of the beach and easy walking distance to the ocean! Less than 30 seconds! Definitely would stay again!
Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Nicole Wylie
We are a family of 6 living in Houston who love visiting Galveston every chance we get. We enjoy hiking, biking and water sports. We fell in love with Sea Isle after renting a house in the neighborhood one summer and immediately began looking for a vacation home in the vicinity.
Why they chose this property
We love the open gathering area in the kitchen/dining/living room, and the beach views from the windows and decks. The downstairs is a wonderful area to hang out with family and friends and the proximity to the beach can't be beat! But we also love the neighborhood - it is so quiet and friendly, much different than our city neighborhood!
What makes this property unique
Steps from the beach, expansive views of the water. A tiki bar with refreshing breezes to enjoy when you've had enough sun, and comfortable beds to collapse into when you've soaked up all the bliss you can handle for the day.
The marina and the playground are close by. We love having the bar and grill in the neighborhood - the food is delicious and the vibe of the restaurant is perfect. It gets even better when live music is on the schedule!
The home's location in the West End of Galveston allows you to easily go "into the city" for any of the tourist attractions, but you'll be away from the hustle of the tourist-crowded beaches and restaurants. When you're in Sea Isle, every minute truly feels like Island Time.
