Tucked away on Galveston Island, Lala’s Seaesta is a coastal tiny house retreat that punches well above its size. At just 355 square feet, this beachside home offers the perfect blend of smart design, indoor-outdoor living, and walkable access to sand and surf—just two blocks from the beach. Whether you’re escaping the city or planning a long weekend by the water, this place offers big vacation vibes in a compact footprint. Watch a full walkthrough video at the end!
Inside the home, you’ll find a full kitchen equipped with a fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook a real meal. There’s a small dining nook perfect for morning coffee or playing cards after a beach day.
The living room sits across from the kitchen and offers a comfortable spot to unwind after a day in the sun. With a plush couch and breezy beach decor, it’s the perfect place to relax with a movie or catch up on a good book. Despite the home’s small footprint, this lounging area feels open and inviting thanks to the vaulted ceiling and natural light streaming in from the windows.
The main bedroom has a cozy queen bed, while the sleeping loft fits two twin beds—ideal for kids or friends traveling together. A beautiful tile shower and thoughtfully included toiletries round out the clean, well-organized bathroom.
Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed. From the tucked-away ladder access to the loft to the ability to convert the breakfast nook into extra sleeping space, this tiny house manages to be both beautiful and practical. It’s one of the most livable floor plans we’ve seen in a vacation rental, and its beachy location makes it even better.
Whether you’re staying a night or a week, Lala’s Seaesta is proof that tiny houses can deliver big on comfort, character, and location.
One of the biggest highlights of Lala’s Seaesta is how it extends living space well beyond its walls. The indoor layout is efficient and livable, but the outdoor entertaining area is where this home really shines. Underneath the raised house is a full lounge setup—complete with a movie projector, Roku, custom-built swing sofa, hammock, dining table, bar swings, mini fridge, and wet bar. There’s even an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a beach day. It's the kind of flexible, open-air space that makes tiny house living feel expansive.
