We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The location was perfect — just steps from the sand! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen supplies to beach gear. The host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We especially loved the ocean views from the deck — perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect for your next girls weekend!

We absolutely loved our weekend at this home! The big table was perfect to sit around and drink our morning coffee together, the couch was so comfortable to hang out at, and the beds were so great to sleep in! We really appreciated the little details from the basic kitchen items and k-cups to the extra paper goods on hand. The owner was great to communicate with and really responsive with any questions we had leading up to the weekend. Definitely look forward to staying here again!

This is the most responsive host I have ever dealt with. The host made our stay extra special. They had New Years Eve party favors and snacks waiting on arrival.

This house is perfect for families, it has a great layout and plenty of room. It’s in a perfect location, very clean and has everything you need. Often there is a shortage of basics such as kitchenware and supplies. We stayed for 8 days and the host was very nice and attentive. She checked in on us a few times while we were there to make sure everything was working properly etc.

Gorgeous Stay on Crystal Beach!!!

This was by far the BEST place we've ever stayed in Galveston. The home is conveniently located to the beach and has all the amenities for a large family. The kitchen is very well stocked as is the bathrooms and bedrooms. All bedrooms have a charger for both iPhone and Android (just in case you forget yours). There's a basket of beach towels by the door which was super convenient for our stay. The downstairs is well equipped with family games and plenty of beach toys as well as an all terrain buggy to pull it all. Sharon is very attentive and truly cared about making our stay the best possible stay it could have been. We will definitely be back to this property!!! Do yourself a favor and check it out!!!
