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 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

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.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our stay at Tiny Bubbles was just what our family needed. The only bad thing is that we didn't want to leave! The hot-tub and game room provide entertainment for all ages; there was always something to do. The beach was also very clean, we did not have ANY seaweed when we were there. We can not wait to stay here again!

Wonderful place!

Clean place supplied with all of the necessities and more. It was great to have the hot tubs and downstairs activities on the cooler days when the beach was a 'no go'. The hosts were accommodating and friendly. Great location that suited the needs of both children and adults. We hope to be back soon.

Thank you for sharing your home with our family! The moment that we walked in through the front door we felt at home. The personal touches that you’ve put into your home made us all feel welcome and right at home. We will always try to stay there more often as we are frequent visitors of Crystal beach.

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.

A great place to stay.

This is our second time staying here and it is close to the beach and if any problems a small text or call and it is taken care of. We do recommend looking online at a map with roadway conditions. Not for down there but your route as we had three ways and took the only one there and home that did not come to a standstill. The place is great for all ages.
