Tiny Bubbles -Hot Tubs-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.

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 both propane or charcoal or wood for smoking meats. There are 2 picnic tables by the grill. Just outside the screened room is another hot tub with built-in bench for relaxing and bubble time. If both hot tubs are left clean, the property fee of $100 will be refunded.

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 a Direct TV Network. There are couches with 2 recliners each and one separate reclining chair making the den the ultimate relaxing spot.

The spacious master bedroom has a very comfy king size bed and twin futon with a a flat screen Roku TV with Direct TV satellite. The master 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 with 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 have 2 hot tubs but need to say that if one isn't working, the other one will be for your pleasure.

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!

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.

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 Made Wonderful

Every year we take an end of summer mini vacation to Crystal Beach. We have stayed in many different houses and Tiny Bubbles has by far been our favorite. The game room made the hot part of the day enjoyable, my five kids really enjoyed the basketball goal, bicycles & extra toys. I really enjoyed the option of the upstairs or downstairs hot tubs, the bedside pillow mints, all the extras in the kitchen, and the responsiveness from the hosts. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach or to the snow cone shack which was a huge plus! We loved the flowers and vegetation surrounding the whole house as well. I could not say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Next time we hope to stay longer !

Interesting and beautiful

It was a pleasure to stay at Tiny Bubbles. The interesting part which was also the lovely part was seeing all the bird habitats around. Very sweet to see so many baby birds and their mommas. The property as a whole was lovely and spacious. I would highly recommend this cabin and the hosts.

Really nice again.

I broke my hip and had a replacement Surgery 1 week before our visit. Everyone really had good time even though we had a tropical storm come through. They really made use of the hot tubs and game room while I made use of the comfort upstairs due to my surgery. Overall, everyone had a great time and if we are lucky, we are able to get together with everyone twice a year and this being one of those two. The weather never was a problem and still they got to use the beach and had lots of sun too.

A Terrific Family Getaway

This beautiful place on Bolivar was perfect for our family to enjoy time together celebrating our daughter’s graduation from college and our annual family gathering. The downstairs was absolutely a hit with our adult children and perfect for family game time. The house is not too far from the beach, but far enough not to be peaceful! The decks are perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or relaxing in the evening! Highly recommend!

Unique and wonderful property!!

This property is so unique versus many of the other offerings on Bolivar! The hot tubs, game room, deck space, indoor space; it’s a comfortable home with space for the whole family and then some. The owners attention to detail is noticeable and appreciated. For us, it was a new year’s trip and they left us NYE parts hats. Also, the little things like extra toothbrushes (very appreciated because one of our kiddos forgot theirs!) The downstairs game room is the perfect place for the kids to hang and have their own space to play. I don’t know if I can do vacation any other way, I feel spoiled! Our 10 year old said “this feels more like home than any other beach house, can we just live here?💗”

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.
