Worth every cent! Great home and location! Very comfortable! Knocked off a star for check in only because you have to pick up/drop off keys at their real estate office down the road. Also, plan to purchase the linen package or bring your own linens! Other than those quirks, I’d rent this again in a heart beat!

Beautiful property, perfect for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. Two super minor things that would have made this stay even better 1) a coded door lock so that we didn’t have to juggle a key. One part of our family had the key while waiting for the ferry in Galveston for over two hours. Meanwhile, the others were stuck outside the house and unable to get in and change into bathing suits! Definitely poor planning on our part, but a coded door would be super nice. 2) The stairs going down below the house are quite steep (no problem), but they are extremely dark at night. No light spills onto them from the porch or under the house. If there was a way to install some light on the landing, that would help so much. Overall, it was absolutely amazing. Tons of the conveniences of home, comfortable beds, and they allow a pet 35lbs or under with a pet fee. Super fun little trip. I hope we can come back again in the future!

A Magical New Year's Eve!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We celebrated New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in Crystal Beach, and this property was more than I could have asked for. The photos online truly don’t do it justice. Being just steps from the beach was both beautiful and incredibly convenient.The kids were able to pop firecrackers, and we built a small campfire on the beach to roast s’mores, which made the experience even more special. The home has plenty of space for everyone, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need.I highly recommend this property and can’t wait to stay here again!

Reviewer Comments: It was perfect, more than we expected and met all our hopes.No one needs anything more, nice, clean, fresh, the TV was the biggestfrustrations when we weren't outside and at night. Maybe a handrail and tiled bench in the on suite master bath and a fridge could use a new look.

Texas fun

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was great except the washing machine. My family always packs lightly. We always rent a place with a washer and dryer so we can do so. The washing machine was broken and you could only wash a shirt and pair of shorts in a load if that. Very frustrating. A person came to check it, but it needed parts to fix. He was kind and I did appreciate the service call. The parts weren’t available until after we were gone.
