This is no doubt the best spot in the Galveston area. We got to ride the ferry multiple times going back and forth to Galveston. The fenced area was perfect for our pup to join us on vacation! You have to book and stay here! Beautiful, clean and exceeded our expectations!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished. The kitchen had plenty of cookware and accessories, making it easy to prepare meals. Communication with the host was excellent, and the fenced-in yard was perfect for our dog. EV charging hookups were also available—just be sure to bring your own portable charger. We would happily stay here again!

Really enjoyed our stay. It was just the quick getaway that we needed. The house was well proportioned, well furnished and the layout was great for simply watching the waves crash ashore.Given the proximity to the beach it was a very clean, sand free beach house.

Such a beautiful beach house. Completely private, felt very safe. The details that have been added to the house truly gives you that coastal vibe. It was chilly while we were there on spring break in Texas, but the views from every room were outstanding and helped us “feel” summer is coming.

Lovely July 4th stay

The house was very nicely decorated just as the pictures show in the listing. We had a lovely time watching the ships and fireworks from the front porch. If you are looking for a quiet beach to relax this is it!

Thank you Rebecca! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. You’ll have to visit during the off season too, it’s even more private, like your own personal beach! Hope to host you again soon 😊

Great spring break

First of all the property is amazing the hosts were very responsive we didn’t need anything. Everything was just as Vrbo says it was this is the perfect place for a family to have a nice quiet spring break or take a quick 17min ferry ride over to Galveston and go to all of the tourist destinations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be staying again soon

Hi Brian, we are so glad you had an amazing time and that you enjoyed the quick ferry ride over during your Spring Break trip to Crystal Cove Cottage! It really is a nice place to stay away from the hustle and bustle for a quiet beach vacation yet close enough to go do all the fun touristy things over in Galveston. We can’t wait to host you again at Crystal Cove Cottage or at its beautiful new sister property right down the street, Gulf Pelican Villa!

Quiet paradise

What a wonderful stay we had! Our dogs enjoyed the fenced backyard and private beach access. Close to the ferry to downtown Galveston and then 10min drive to restaurants and shops on the peninsula. The master bed was super comfortable with gorgeous views of the water. Very clean overall. Can’t wait to stay here again!
