The home was spacious and beautiful. It was in a wonderful location. It was an easy drive to make and to access the beach was easy. The enormous swim spa was the favorite of our visit. We would book and stay again, just maybe a bit longer!

The sunrises and sunsets were incredible. The home perfect for my family. My parents in their 80's were able to handle the stairs. The railings were great because they were on both sides. The hot tub holds a group. The house was clean with furniture you could all sit on. We played games did puzzels and cooked. highly recommend!

Family fall trip

Beach was very clean, great surf fishing, swim spa was amazing, and when we had any questions the owners were fast to respond. This was a needed trip for my boys after losing their father in the spring. We had a great time connecting and being with nature. Great trip!

We chose a terrible week to come weather wise, but were still able to enjoy the house and a few of the wonderful outside amenities. The host was very responsive and made this the easiest Vrbo check in/check out process I’ve encountered. Hope to rent again when the weather is nice!

Amazing Views

Beautiful sunrises. There are a few things that need to be fixed and it would've been perfect. The missing shade in the LR (sun will blind you), and the faucet in the MBth shower. Would definitely stay again. Our kids and grandkids loved it! Great stay!

The lay out of the living area was good. Lay out of all bedrooms upstairs was good. Nice to have full bathrooms upstairs. The spa/pool was a hit for all ages. The totally fenced in ground area was great for keeping up with our kids. Would recommend this beach house. Can’t beat this front row beach view!

About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image
I enjoy living life to the fullest and love providing that same experience for our guest which is why we started Southern Sands Property Management. I went to Texas A&M and grew up in the Houston area. Crystal Beach/Galveston has always been a popular destination for my family and I love that we now get to spend more time in one of the most relaxing places you can; THE BEACH!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy amazing, unobstructed views of the Gulf Shoreline from both balconies; including, sunrises every morning and listening to the waves as you wind down watching the sunset over the horizon!

What makes this property unique

The outdoor area is great for entertaining friends and family. This includes: a SwimSpa, outdoor charcoal grill, a private outdoor shower to wash sand off, and plenty of outdoor furniture.

Beachfront Elegance also includes it's own 24/7 Concierge Service that is able to assist with anything related to the house and any guidance regarding the Bolivar Peninsula / Crystal Beach during your stay.
