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.

We have rented this cabin multiple times, and have not ever had any complaints! From the location, to the amenities offered, everything is always perfect.
Absolutely amazing house, the pictures dont do it justice! Owners are great... location is great, bed are comfy, and yhe hot tub was perfect! Lots of patios and decks to get away in your own little private spaces
We loved this location. Just a short walk or drive to beach, the hot tub is amazing, the decks are great to go on and breath in the air and enjoy the views. We will definitely be coming back, the property worked amazingly for my family.
We enjoyed our quick trip away with family! The house is the perfect location and hosts went above and beyond in accommodations! Would definitely stay here again ☺️!
Love all the beautiful plants, they’ve got ping pong table,jacuzzi,darts ,board games just all the amenities to make your stay fun and just comfy,we especially loved the home it’s so cozy .
The house and property was beautiful. We, of course, enjoyed the hot tub and the quite porches. Having coffee in the morning on the balcony was also very enjoyable. Should we return to the area, I would definitely check the availability of Tiny Bubbles.
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.
We had an amazing stay at Tiny Bubbles. The house is stocked with everything you can imagine, the owners are very responsive to any questions/issues, and it's in a great location. On top of all that, there is so much to do to keep everyone entertained. Highly recommend and we would definitely want to stay there again if we go back to Crystal Beach.
Home owners were wonderful to work with and very responsive. House was lovely and well stocked. The extras such as the games, game room, hot tub and more made this house great for a family vacation.

About the host
Hosted by John & Joy Smith
John & Joy live in Houston. John is a retired school teacher from Fort Bend ISD and Joy finally decided to stop being that traveling consultant and has joined John in retirement. We have 3 children, 10 grandchildren, five great grandchildren and love to travel. You can see some of our travels in the art work in Tiny Bubbles.
Why they chose this property
Joy was born in Southern California and grew up loving the beach. After spending time at a friend's cabin in Crystal Beach we decided to look around for one of our own. Joy knew Tiny Bubbles was the one with its special touches and spacious rooms and deck.We were so lucky to purchase Tiny Bubbles in May 2008, right before Hurricane Ike hit in September 2008. It was so well built by the previous owner that she withstood the storm and was still standing, unlike so many of our neighbors cabins.
What makes this property unique
Tiny Bubbles features a beautiful stained glass window in the front entryway which came from an old church in East Texas. One look at that special touch and we had to have the beach house. To be able to sit on the deck and watch the birds flying by, see turtles in the canal, and relax in the hot tub are the special highlights. The downstairs screened party room provides the extra space for gathering to eat, play and relax with its ceiling fans or patio heater, depending on the weather. Those who love to Bar-be-que will love the Pitts & Spitts smoker/grill. Tiny Bubbles has been the site for many weddings along with the reception. And now Tiny Bubbles garden is Texas Wildscapes Backyard Wildlife Habitat Certified! And now to keep up with the latest amenities, an EV charging station is provided.
