This place checked all of our boxes. The location is fantastic! The beds were very comfortable and plenty of room for two families with teens to spread out. It wasn’t mentioned in the listing, but we had access to a decent half bath and extra full size refrigerator downstairs. It was great to keep drinks and ice. The view was perfect! The kitchen had everything you needed. We cooked several family meals/breakfasts. Easy check-out process and communication with host was great. There are ceiling fans and the AC worked. But, if you’re like me, you like the noise of an extra fan (and being menopausal, I will FEEL it on me after beaching all day) so, I’d recommend bringing a fan. I know some places will have them. Overall, very pleased and would definitely rent this home again.

Great getaway with friends

Great property with nice view of the beach. Kitchen is well stocked. All the pots and pans we needed were there as well as an Instapot, crockpot and air fryer. The living area was comfortable for our party of 6. We went with 2 other couples so it was nice that 3 of the bedrooms had king size beds and each couple had their own bathroom. Communication with the host was awesome. I would definitely rent this property again.

Great Beach Access

The house was excellent. The only issue was the yard itself. It hasn't been mowed for a while and the sticker burs were horrible. Other than the yard I have no complaints and will consider staying in it again.

Tropicana Beach House Crystal Beach

Very nice, clean, comfortable bedding and many kitchen appliances. Views and beach access is excellent. Be sure to take extra paper products (towels, TP, etc) and extra soap for both washing machine and dishwasher. Very little is provided. Only disappointment was cargo lift not accessible. Would have been much easier for these retirees to bring in groceries if had access.

Host profile image
I enjoy living life to the fullest and love providing that same experience for our guest which is why we started Southern Sands Property Management. I went to Texas A&M and grew up in the Houston area. Crystal Beach/Galveston has always been a popular destination for my family and I love that we now get to spend more time in one of the most relaxing places you can; THE BEACH!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the beach as it was meant to be. Relaxing!
