About this property

The Crystal Wave: beachfront bliss on a large land

The Crystal Wave is a beachfront bliss on a 0.7 acre land with panoramic unobstructed ocean view! It is right next to a paved beach access road in a quiet residential neighborhood. Romantic walks on the beach are right out the door, or run the kids ragged on the beach all day then sit around the living room on the comfortable couch, or relax at the end of a 'beachy' day watching gorgeous sunset from the screen-in porch!! Large, wrap-around deck on the main level is the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful unobstructed view and listen to the peaceful sound of the waves.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, sleeping 16 comfortably. With a split-bedroom floor plan, the house offers maximum privacy even for a large group. The main portion of the house has an open kitchen/living/dining area, the master bedroom with ensuite full bathroom, guest bedroom#1 separated from the master bdrm by the living area, and a common full bath (with washer and dryer). The guest quarter, separated by a breeze way from the main quarter, features two more bedrooms (guest bedroom#2 and #3) that are separated by the third full bathroom.

The master suite has a king-sized bed and a rollaway twin bed stored in the walk-in closet. The master bedroom has a wall of windows with gorgeous ocean view. Guest bedroom#1 has a low-profile twin-over-twin bunk bed, perfect for small kids and adventurous adults alike. Guest bedroom#2 has a queen bed and a full-over-twin bunk bed, sleeping 5. Guest bedroom#3 has a queen bed and a full-over-full bunk bed, sleeping 6. All bedrooms have windows with beach/ocean view and ceiling fans.

The living/dining area is open with direct ocean views from all six windows. Vaulted ceiling gives you the breezy feel even inside. Kitchen is spacious, with granite counter, a large island, and a window to watch birds and beautiful sunset. The living area opens to a large beach-facing deck with a direct and unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. The deck is partially covered so that you can enjoy the outdoor breeze and ocean view within the shade for as long as you'd like! Additionally, there is a large screen-in porch at the front of the house that has a partial beach view and is perfect to watch sunset.

The ground floor is the entrance space where we put beach chairs, toys, canopy, and a Weber 22-inch master-touch charcoal grill for guests to use. It also has a second refrigerator.

We provide everything you would need to feel like home! All beddings are provided for the beds that you would need -- sheets, pillows, pillowcases, and quilts. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap, and toilet paper are stocked in each bathroom. Four smart TVs in the house. Family-size refrigerator and electric range with convection oven. Two coffee makers, one traditional and one Keurig. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutting boards, non-stick pans of different sizes, baking pans, pyrex baking dishes, cooking utensils, plenty of plates, cups, glasses, silverware, and napkins.

The house is about 7 miles from the ferry and 5 miles from the Big Store.

Our cancellation policy is firm in all circumstances. Renters are strongly encouraged to purchase trip insurance from HomeAway or Vrbo directly to protect their trip.

Nightly price is set for 8 guests. Additional guest fee ($50 per person per night) will be added for groups more than those limits till the maximum of 16. Guests must indicate your exact number of guests at booking and the quote will reflect that.

House has a limit of 16 guests (adult and children combined) during anytime of the stay, not just for overnight guests. No events or parties allowed. House trained dogs and cats welcome (pet rules applied). A fee of $100 is required for each pet per stay. If you indicate pet at booking, the platform automatically adds the pet fee for ONE pet in the total. If you have more than one pet, let the owner know after booking and additional pet fee will be collected.

Early check in or late check out is subject to a fee (exact amount depending on your requested check in and check out time) and it is only possible when the house is not booked the same day.

House has exterior cameras on the ground floor for security monitoring. No cameras inside the house.

The Crystal Wave is managed and cared for by its owners who love Texas beaches and shores. Check out our popular, 5-star, breach-front house in Galveston (https://www.vrbo.com/1630239).

Great location
The property was in overall good condition and clean. We had a perfect view of the ocean from the deck as well as from multiple rooms within. There was easy, quick, walkable access to the beach from the front door. The house itself was well appointed and met all our needs. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Great spot close to the beach
Host was super nice! No problems with the house other than some AC issues, but host installed a window unit in the guest room area which gave us no problems. House is as advertised and no issues at all. Tip: Rent a golf cart from a local place. Most will to delivery/pickup- this is a great way to get on and off the beach right there to the house. Would stay here again! Crystal Beach is wonderful. Highly recommend Donnay's Donuts and The Big Store is right down the road for all your grocery store needs.
