Everything was very very clean and well prepared for us. The location was fantastic. Open floor plan was perfect for our large group! The bathroom situation was also so so nice - didnt realize the downstairs room has its own bathroom, so that was a plus! Host was completely attentive throughout our entire stay. The views were great! Quiet neighborhood (at least in April). Hop skip jump to ocean or pool, so zero effort in preparing to pack for a full day because you come and go as often as you want. Pool was also nice!! We would def book again!!

Quiet Serenity in a Beautiful Beachhouse

The place is beautiful, lots of space and location and view are excellent. The decks for sitting and gazing out over the water are amazing and very close proximity to beach. Very friendly to work with and everything was smooth and easy. Highly suggest this place as we will be a repeat customer as well.

Beautiful Home with Great View

This lovely clean home was the perfect spot for our family reunion. Everything we needed was provided. Two outside decks, fantastic kitchen, game room, comfortable beds and bathrooms. The beach was clean and uncrowded, even over the weekend. The owner communicates quickly and the check in and out process was simple. Outstanding experience start to finish.
Spectacular sunsets!
Great porch for visiting.

Lovely stay at a lovely home

We so enjoyed our vacation here. The house had everything one might need. Kitchen was fully stocked, loved the cozy blankets for watching tv, plenty of bath towels for all. We had 11 stay here and were all very comfortable in the space. Beach was quiet during the week and we swam everyday. My four (mostly) adult children each brought a friend and my 88yo mom rounded out the group. We all had a terrific stay. Really really loved our time here and hope to return next year.

We are thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed our relaxing getaway! We love the Crystal Beach area much more than Galveston due to our quiet and relaxing it is! So happy to see that your family was able to kick back and enjoy yourselves!

Family vacation

We enjoyed having access to the pool when the tides were very high with Alberto. The kids enjoyed the games, puzzles and sleeping in the bunk room. The telescope allowed us to see the strawberry moon with the craters. The kids were fascinated. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Awesome weekend

The house was at a great location. Lots of room. Patio views were breathtaking. We were celebrating our sister 67 birthday. Beach was ver close and so was the pool. The house did feel warm during the day. The couches do need to get steam cleaned. Everything else was excellent.

Amazing Experience

I booked this trip for my family; it was a large group. We had an amazing time, eveything about the house was wonderful. Its a beautiful house and i recommend it wholeheartedly. Upon check in we had a little hiccup with the code not working but I called the owner of the home and he answered quickly and got everything fixed. The home was not only beautiful but very spacious. It had all the amenities we needed for our stay, it even had a telescope. Which was wonderful for my stargazing - loving husband. The location was ideal as its walking distance from the beach. We had a great time.
