Welcome to Just Wanna Have Sun, a fun and colorful two-story beach house in Gulf Village that puts you steps from the sand and right in the middle of the action.



The open-concept main floor welcomes you with shiplap walls, a sectional sofa, and Texas-themed coastal accents. The kitchen features white cabinets, a breakfast bar with open shelves, and fish art that keeps the beach vibes rolling. A farmhouse-style dining area connects the living space to the kitchen, and the main level includes bedroom access and a convenient half bath.

Four bedrooms each feature queen beds with coastal quilts, picket-fence headboards, and their own private bathrooms. A bunk room with two sets of bunk beds adds sleeping flexibility for larger groups.
