This is a 2000 square foot home with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. This gorgeous home comes with a fully equipped kitchen, including stainless steel appliances, granite island and countertops, and everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. Because this is a brand new home, every amenity and piece of furniture is also brand new, including the 8-person dining table, sofas, tables and outdoor wooden lounge chairs!

Kid-friendly:
The bunk-room on the top floor also acts as a game room/loft area. We designed it with your kids in mind. After playing at the beach, they can have even more fun with board games and the strobe light while the adults get some R&R in all the lounge areas. The home is kid-friendly and safe with outlet covers in all the areas where infants and toddlers can reach. As well, we have 2 high chairs, 2 pack n plays, and durable, childproof kitchenware that you don't have to worry about breaking.

TV's:
Smart TV's provided everywhere throughout the home! We have a 32” TV in every bedroom, a 50” TV in the master bedroom, and a 75” TV in the living room.

Hospitality:
This home was designed with your comfort in mind. We have carefully selected hotel-quality amenities to accommodate large groups including throw blankets, beach towels, and linens. We also have a contact person available 24/7 for emergencies, but we kindly ask that you only contact us during business hours for non-emergency items.

OUTDOORS:
1st Floor:
A main highlight of this home is the clear ocean view from the West & East decks, as well as from the downstairs lounge areas. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea along with your favorite book, or catch up with your loved ones while listening to the waves just beyond the deck. We have plenty of outdoor seating and lounge areas to unplug & unwind. There are also more ocean views on the East deck, just outside Bedroom #1 & 2. Let the ocean hit your 5 senses first thing in the morning and last thing at night!

Ground Floor:
You may end up spending your entire time downstairs. It has everything you need to unplug and enjoy the beach life. The plentiful outdoor seating easily accommodates our max group of 21 people. Watch your favorite shows, movies or sports events on the 50” outdoor TV. Bring your own charcoal to BBQ on the park-style grill. Store extra food in the downstairs custom-made ice chest. As well, utilize it for beverages and BBQ items for your convenience so you don’t have to go up and down the stairs so much while hanging out and grilling. In just a few steps you're back home from the beach and can freshen up with the outdoor shower downstairs.

About the host

Hosted by Erik Acuna

Host profile image
Aloha! My wife, Aya and I live in Honolulu where we are raising our two daughters (the boy in the picture is our daughter’s good friend). We enjoy hanging out with friends, going to the beach, paddle boarding, yoga, hiking, and spending time with our kids at home. Both Aya and I are passionate about the healing arts. She is a massage therapist, and I am a mental health therapist. We are delighted that you have chosen our home, and we will do our very best to provide you with an enjoyable, memorable stay!

Why they chose this property

We have chosen Crystal Beach as our vacation spot because of the beautifully constructed homes on Bolivar Peninsula. We also like the outdoor activities available in the area as well as the quiet, more secluded nature of the peninsula as compared to Galveston.

What makes this property unique

Salt Marsh Escape is special because of the protected, unobstructed beach views that can be enjoyed on our spacious decks. We are so close to the beach that you can enjoy ocean views even from the downstairs areas!

This home is a rare 6 bedroom home; there are only a handful of homes with this many rooms on Bolivar Peninsula. Because there are plenty of bedrooms, we are able to accommodate a big group while also providing privacy during your stay.

Not only are the ocean views amazing from this house, but they are more secluded, private views of the beach, as we are located in Gilchrist, off the beaten path (but still only 5 minutes from all the main stores & essentials).

We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service. Not only am I hosting you guys, but I have a hired assistant available by phone and in person to help guests when needs arise.

An additional benefit of our home is that it is brand spanking new, and therefore, all the furniture and amenities are new! You will enjoy a beautiful, immaculate home when you stay at Salt Marsh Escape!
