Wonderful location

The house is a short walk to the beach on a quiet street with easy access to the main hwy in Crystal beach. The house does have a portable ac/dehumidifier downstairs which is wonderful to keep the house feeling comfortable with how humid the air is. The half bath outside is not usable as the floor has a hole/weak spot, so we did not use it. The kitchen amenities are great and having the spices, salt, pepper, tea and coffee is above and beyond what any other rental we’ve stayed at in the area. The house is older so don’t expect a brand new house, expect a lived in well loved house. The beds are very comfortable, the amount of beach toys is great, and the space is perfect.

Had everything we needed. Great trip

The location of the property was great. It had everything we needed. The booking and check out process were easy. The property could use major updating, deep cleaning, and a few minor repairs. But overall was great for our needs and comfortable

Great Location and Fun Times!

We really enjoyed staying here with the family. A 3 minute walk to the beach was perfect. The kids loved to play the arcade in the living room when we had downtime. I had a couple questions at the beginning of our stay and Shaun was quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home by the beach

Beautiful home just a short walk from the beach. We loved the location and the hospitality of the host. If we were not outside enjoying ladder ball and the tiki bar, we were upstairs enjoying the pac man game. Great place that I hope to stay again.

Great location

Overall good stay. Had a few blips along the way that kept me from saying it was great. Location was great to the beach. Property manager was super helpful and extremely responsive. Property needed some updates and bathrooms were small for several people sharing.

Host was very accommodating. Arrived in area early, reached out if could leave a trailer in the driveway so could hangout on the beach before check in time. He let us know the house was ready and could access the house early. Not many places would allow that.

Okay - Not Great

Pros of this house: a short walk to the beach & it’s a charming house overall. The communication was superb! Unfortunately, there’s SO many cons. The cleanliness was absolutely awful. The dining table & multiple chairs were broken. Cabinet doors hanging off the hinges, not a lot of supplies (like laundry detergent,, toilet paper, napkins, some kitchen items, etc…) are very lacking. The house is for sale, so that is now a RED FLAG for us & will not stay at a place if we know it’s for sale. Because for sale = won’t be replacing items that need it. Towel holders were falling off the wall, carpet needs a deep clean x5, it was nasty, toilet paper stand was even wobbly about to break, gunk in corners of the floor. A huge amount of dust buildup on majority of the fans & decorations. The main microwave doesn’t work, but they provided a smaller one on the counter. Even the coffee table in the living room was wobbly & we feared would break if anyone would place something on it. There were screws on the bathroom counter. The cleaning crew or whoever placed wet water filter pitchers in the cabinets instead of drying them & smelled of mildew/mold. All the air fresheners were dried up. There’s just no eye for even the most simple details that could have made the experience better. This is our fault, but had we known there was no baby gate, we would have brought one for the stairs since we have a young toddler. We would not stay here again.

Activities were great- A/C was good- Cabin had a very musty smell throughout the stay- carpets and linoleum stained throughout which took away from ambience- no batteries in remotes in bedrooms- clothes dryer did not work- appliances need updating- Had to pay 175 cleaning fee and it was not clean! Crumbs in cupboards everywhere- silverware and dishes were greasy- very disappointed-

The house was in a good location to the beach. The had plenty of bed space and a nice size living room. Photos of property need to be updated to show the condition of the house at the present time. Upkeep and repairs are needed.

60th Birthday

Place is nice, except, Island cabinet door hinge broken and door hanging. Bathroom cabinet door missing. Bedroom door hard to open. AC not keeping the house cool during heat of the day even with probably unit. Turned itself off daily, had to reset it 3 times on one day. Sat in one of the chairs outside and one side came apart almost fell out of the chair. Outside TV did not work. Saturday afternoon the temperature in the house was over 80 degrees.

Great location!

Arrived on Friday afternoon, checked in & went right to the beach, it’s so close! Stayed at the house til checkout Monday. House was good & had enough space & beds for all. Stairs to get to other 3 big beds was difficult for adults, so had to sleep elsewhere. Overall, the place is a great location, roomy, plenty of outdoor seating, parking for multiple vehicles or golf carts. The price for the weekend was great for the size & location! Would rent the house again!

Great location!

Conveniently located close to the Big Store for those forgotten grocery items, a very short walk to the beach, and tons of fun for the kids! My only suggestion would be to bring a hotspot for the TV outside. We used our phone hotspots to get the Astros games! Great stay and will likely use this rental again!!
