Every photo is of this exact home — no stock, no staging. What you see is what you book.

3 Bedrooms 2.5 Bathrooms Sleeps 10 Dog-friendly Beach house

Tiki Retreat is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath canal-front vacation home in Galveston, Texas, sleeping up to 10 guests in the Sea Isle community on the West End. With a beautiful canal-front setting and a community pool, it's an ideal getaway for families and groups looking for a comfortable place to relax and enjoy everything the coast has to offer.

The home also features a private boat ramp. Please note that the owner's boat is kept on the ramp, so guests cannot launch or store a boat there. If you bring your own boat, you're welcome to tie it along the front of the bulkhead while enjoying easy access to the canal.

Whether you love fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water, Tiki Retreat is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the Galveston coast. Spend the day on the water, then unwind on the deck with a cool drink and beautiful sunset views.

Our little family/friends getaway was perfect we absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was absolutely immaculate, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Anna was an incredible host she was kind, responsive, and wonderful to work with throughout our stay. She truly made us feel welcome. This was the perfect place for our families to spend quality time together, and our kids had such a great time making memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. We highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and exceptionally clean place to stay. We would gladly stay here again!

My family and I had a wonderful time! The home was clean and everything felt new. There was plenty of space for my family of 4. There is a lovely outdoor area to enjoy the water and a nice neighborhood to explore. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in the Galveston area. It’s about a 5 minute drive from the beach. And 30 minutes from downtown Galveston (Which I preferred being away from the crowd and chaos). Even my dog felt right at home.

Anna is an amazing host - everything was clear, smooth, and very well organized. The place was absolutely beautiful, cozy, and comfortable. We only stayed for one night before taking a ferry, but it was the perfect stay and we really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend!
