About this property
2 Blocks to Shore: Crystal Beach House w/ Yard!
16 Mi to Galveston Ferry Terminal | Pet Friendly w/ Fee | Beach Towels Provided
Feel your worries drift away with the saltwater breeze when you make the 'Toasty Mermaid,' a 3-bedroom, 3-bath Crystal Beach vacation rental, your home away from home! When you're not building sandcastles on Bolivar Beach, casting a line at nearby fishing spots, or chasing thrills at Moody Gardens, gather around the fire for star-studded stories and s'mores, or cozy up for your favorite movie in the living room.
