Waterfront bungalow with screened-in patio, kayaks and canal access

With sleeping space for 10 people, a spacious, screened-in, indoor/outdoor living space, and a charcoal grill, Bluewater Bungalow will quickly become your family’s favorite place to vacay. Hop in a kayak and explore the canals or take a quick drive to the beach— this home has everything your crew needs to relax, recharge, and reconnect on the Texas coastline.

Location: Sea Isle beach community of Galveston, Texas

When you arrive at Bluewater Bungalow, the cheerful, sapphire-blue exterior and swaying palm trees will instantly transport you into vacation mode. The main level great room is bright and beachy, with a soaring cathedral ceiling with painted shiplap detail. The kitchen has a peninsula bar with seating for four people, while a flexible passthrough space opens to allow access to the back porch living area. Through the sliding glass doors, a spacious, screened-in living space will be a popular spot for your whole crew. Overlooking the sparkling canal below, your family will love to spend time out here— dining, snacking, playing games, or watching tv.

Three bedrooms provide plenty of sleeping space for your family. The first bedroom has a queen-size bed with a custom built-in twin-size bunk bed, creating super-cozy sleeping spots for the kids. A second bedroom has two queen-size beds and the third bedroom has a sumptuous king-size bed. A full bathroom is accessed from the hallway and has a tub/shower combo.

Outside, the sun-drenched wrap-around deck space is the perfect spot to soak up the Texas sunshine. On the ground level, kayaks are available to paddle around the canals. The canal is also great for fishing— and there’s a charcoal grill to cook up your fresh catch of the day. Sip a glass of wine while you sway gently on the porch swing and gaze out at the sparkling canal.

When your family is ready to go exploring— the Galveston Strand and Pleasure Pier are quick drives away. And the Sea Isle beach access point, community pool, and parks are right around the corner, too. Bluewater Bungalow will quickly become your family’s new home-away-from-home base on the Texas coast.

Peaceful place
We enjoyed the space and wish we had booked an extra day on the front end. The accommodations were as listed so we comfortably slept a group of ten adults. The place was peaceful, clean, and just right for a getaway or (like for us) a night before our cruise departure. I highly recommend.

Dirty ( Feces on bedsheets) & poorly maintained causing safety issues and management who don’t care!
DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY! We stayed at this property for our wedding anniversary. On arriving my kids ( 7 & 9 ) remarked on how beat up the place was paint peeling, stair and deck boards rotten, door to screened porch was missing and the flooring had holes in. Despite all this we were determined to have a great time so tried look past all this as we were just there for 2 nights. After sweeping and wiping all the surfaces we had dinner and put our kids to bed. Just as my husband and I were going to bed we pulled back to cover to find lumps and smears of “HUMAN FECES”all over the sheet. Not exactly the wedding anniversary gift we were expecting. Thankfully there was another bedroom so we slept in that one. Things got worse the following morning when my daughter, age 7 was looking out through a section of the screen porch on the 2nd floor that was broken. Not only is screen almost none existent so posing risk of a possible fall but as we called her away she caught her nightgown on the exposed1inch screws remaining. Luckily she did not hurt herself, just damaged her nightgown. We immediately reported this and the feces we’d found to the management company and the response from Russell was less than satisfactory, asking me to send photos and they’d look in to it. Eventually after hearing nothing we contacted VRBO directly who said they’d get home to contact me. Eventually a cleaning team arrived after 18hours, Russell’s response was why hadn’t we reported it early!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Falling into the Canal
We typically stay in Sea Isle when visiting and know the area well for 40 years. This was my first time using VRBO and I am not sure I would do it again honestly. This home appears to have been unfortunately hit by hurricane Harvey in 2017 and we believe it was never fully recovered. The pics are DEFINITELY pre Harvey 8 years ago. When I called (“Beach Box Rentals”) I was told no options (so essentially $ down the drain.) The home is structurally unsound and is literally falling into the bay canal. We were afraid to stay there. The concrete under the house is broken and dangerous. Kayaks have holes in them and sink. The pillars in the canal holding up the home were 1/2 gone. When we gained access, the floors were soft and mushy, floorboards are shifted like inches not mms, and the wall paneling was all peeling badly. The kayaks have holes in them, so yes you will sink. We left after 1 night and ate the $. RUN away - do not walk. We love Sea Isle - this house just needs to be torn down and rebuilt!

Nice place
Nice place, close to beach, had everything we needed and my grandchildren loved the place. The only reason I gave a 4 on cleanliness is the counter tops were gritty filling. Maybe something they cleaned with. Overall a great place.

Not the best
We arrived late evening and only stayed one night. Location was convenient to our cruise departure location, but the place left much to be desired. Cleanliness was less than stellar, but the linens appeared to be okay other than the bed that had random wood pieces in it. Random confetti in various places, food on the couch, hair in the sink, etc. Took photos and sent to the host and got a, "Thank you for letting us know," along with somewhat of an apology, I guess. Responsive, but not very attentive in addressing concerns. Wouldn't recommend.

Great for a quick trip
We just needed a place for 1 night to lay our head and regroup before we got on a cruise. We arrived late night, there were zero lights on. My teen daughter tripped going up the stairs carrying her luggage. There lights in the home were difficult to find. We were exhausted from driving 24 hours and just wanted to go to bed... the bathroom had no fans for the shower and there was literally 1 bathroom for a house that sleeps 10. 😳 veru difficult to navigate! Beds were ok, not great. I wouldn't recommend for more than a few nights due to comfort.
