About this property

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

    • Private canalfront dock for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, tubing, and floating
    • Bring your boat and tie up directly at the dock
    • Less than 5 minutes to Sea Isle beach access
    • Fully fenced and gated yard for kids and pets
    • Pet friendly
    • Sleeps up to 8 guests
    • Two spacious outdoor decks with canal and sunset views
    • Kayak, tubes & floats included
    • Outdoor TV and propane grill

    • Convenient outdoor rinse area

    🌊 Your Own Waterfront Playground

    The private canalfront dock is where vacation days begin.

    Fish in the morning, launch the provided kayak, or spend the afternoon floating and tubing in the canal. If you’re bringing a boat, you can tie up right at the house next to our boat.

    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.

    🏖️ Beach Days Are Just Minutes Away

    When it’s time for the beach, Sea Isle access is less than 5 minutes away. Spend the day swimming, building sandcastles, and soaking up the Galveston sun, then come home to your own private waterfront retreat.

    And because the property is fully fenced and gated, kids and four-legged family members have a safe space to enjoy the outdoors.

Great Weekend Getaway

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.

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.

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.

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.

Weekend on the Water

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!

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!

Fantastic property

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!

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.
