The Perfect Beach House

The beach house was perfect for our family. The location was super close to the beach, grocery store and our favorite restaurant. It was clean and easily accessible. Owner was easy to get in contact with as well. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Crystal Beach!

Great location to beach and relax

The house was great for our family of 9. We loved the short walk to the beach with the beach wagon and sitting on the deck listening to the water. Nice beds, linens and well equipped kitchen. The master suite was a bonus with a coffee maker and wine fridge. Great and fast communication whenever needed. Would definitely recommend for a beach house in the relaxing part of Crystal beach!

Wonderful place to enjoy a getaway!!!

Spent the time with family on a much needed place to get away. Loved the atmosphere and all amenities were provided as expected. Enjoyed the comfort of each room and space provided for older teenagers to enjoy the house and a short walk to the beach.

Family spring break

The home was a very short easy walk to the beach for the whole family (including grandma). We had everything we needed for everything- morning coffee, a fun day at the beach complete with toys and beach towels, plenty of bath towels, yard games and everything to cook meals daily. Everything was thoughtful and easy. Thank you!

Need extended weekend getaway.

One word, Awesome! Everything was right there where you needed it to be, the beach, grill, cornhole, etc. Beach was a short 2-3 minute walk from the property which is the whole reason for staying. Anything you can ask for in the house and so welcoming. Highly recommend this property.

Absolutely nothing but a good time.

So it was our first ever family vacation and it was the best yet. The house was perfect for our big family and even toddler safe for our one year old. The views of the beach were beautiful loved being able to sit on the very top deck and drink coffee while watching the sunrise. We have never been on vacation together and we loved it and will book this place again for sure. The owners were very nice and helpful and made our stay nothin h but a good time as a family so I’d suggest this beautiful beach house

Fabulous view, great location & comfortable

We were so thrilled upon arriving at the property. We are a family of 5, and there was plenty of space. The location was ideal with how close it was to the beach as anything we forgot could easily be grabbed from The house. It was ideal for us, to let the baby nap in the middle of the day and then head back down after lunch & naps. The beds were all comfortable, and offered plenty of space for us all to sleep. The views were amazing. We loved that the house is a few minutes from Town but not too far. Didn’t need to rent a golf cart or anything due to how close the house is to the beach. Kitchen is well stocked, we cooked a lot and there was every tool you needed including some spices! Knives were sharp which was nice as well. They have plenty of sand toys and things for the beach if you forget or don’t bring a ton. Their wagon was fabulous as well! We will definitely rent this home again if in the area.

Perfect location w/ beautiful views

The house it’s self was amazing. It has a straight shot view of the beach and just an easy minute walk to the beach of that. The master upstairs was so nice! The coffee maker in the room and mini fridge was a huge plus because you didn’t have to walk down stairs first before you could enjoy the sunrise on the private balcony! The kids loved the the swing and chairs on the main balcony. Enough seating for all 8 of us! Inside has plenty of room as well. We loved this table they had in the kitchen area it had chairs that pulled out so the kids played games allll night long on it! Ok I could go on and on, but that had everything u could need and more to make you feel like you’re right at home! They had a Ninja blender, crockpot, griddle and an air fryer! Oh yea not to mention the big green egg! The owners were available 24/7 if we had any questions and were very quick to answer! Can’t wait to come back again when it’s a little warmer.

Best mini-vacation ever!

If you are on the fence about renting this property, don’t hesitate, don’t think on it, don’t wait a day or two to decide and don’t keep looking for a better vacation spot. This home was perfect! I rented this home for a few days to celebrate my grandmother’s 84th birthday and brought my 17 year old daughter along. We were impressed from the moment we pulled into the drive way. The property was very clean, well cared for and exactly what you want when looking for a peaceful stay. I honestly can’t think of anything negative to say. The beds, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the entire ambiance of the home was just what we needed for a relaxing, peaceful stay. A lot of people in the area had golf carts, but if you stay here, you won’t need to spend the extra money for one. The beach is right there. The home is on a corner lot so you aren’t sandwiched between two houses. We made reservations for a fancy Seafood restaurant in Galveston, we had no idea we would have to take a ferry to get there! That was a nice surprise, it was really cool and the ferry was free! We are already talking about our next trip back and can’t imagine staying anywhere else.
