Excellent Location and Stay!!

We could not have been happier with our stay. House location is perfect, with amazing views of the ocean and the fireworks (We stayed over 4th of July). You can walk to the beach in no time, and having street access to the beach was awesome. Cheryl, the Owner is responsive, super friendly and very personable. We will definitely be back in the very near future. Thank you for an amazing week filled with so much fun, laughter and memories.

Perfect Beach Getaway!

We had an amazing stay at this vacation rental! The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the beach, which made sunset views absolutely magical. The views from the property are stunning, and the beautifully landscaped yard made it feel like our own private paradise.The area itself is peaceful yet close to everything you could need—great restaurants, shops, and activities for all ages. The home was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay.We can’t wait to come back—highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind and soak up some serious beach vibes!

Always love our stay here

This is the 3rd time I've stayed at this home and the location just cannot be beat! We love the water views from the decks, the quick walk to the beach or to the boutiques and the neighborhood - quiet and nice. The house has everything you could need- grill, hot tub, cooking tools (seemed like a brand new oven too!), lots of pantry space and the lift is super convenient and helpful. Will be back!

Spring break 2025

The house was great. It was clean and as described online & it had great views from the 3rd floor. However, the beach was busier with traffic than we expected. That part makes it hard to relax on the beach especially with younger kids. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Great beach house!

Our family loved our Christmas stay at Absolutely Amazing! The house is so close to the beach, with lovely views. The rooms & beds are comfortable. Kitchen had everything you could need from salt to pots & pans. The hot tub felt great in the chilly evening! Cheryl was a great hostess. We did not want to leave - definitely recommend!

Our stay was mostly positive. The owner was very nice and tried to fix any problems we had. It’s a beautiful place with great views easy access to the beach. I do suggest an upgrade of all the pillows. They were flat and worn. Everything else was lovely.

Welcoming to pets. There were pets all over the beach and neighborhood. Great house design with master downstairs that worked well for my elderly parents; jack and jill upstairs with shared bathroom; third story two beds. A balcony on each level to sit with a beautiful view of the ocean. There is also a lift to help move in on arrival and out on departure. Enough room for 3 parked cars and a fourth can be squeezed in behind them. Location is fantastic beach-wise as it’s at marker 99 and the road is a legit beach entry. Also close enough to take our dog down the street and right on to the beach if desired. Plenty of utensils and cookware, even some food storage containers. Some basic seasonings also.There is a hot tub downstairs with an adjoining bathroom, shower area, dressing room. There is a utility room with fishing poles, propane boiler sets. You could literally buy or fish and slap it right on the grill or use the cookout. Location also great for supermarket acccess, gasoline and car wash access, and several bars/restaurants within 3 miles or so drive. It’s about 15 miles to the ferry if you want to go into Galveston. Overall worked out very well for us.

Very Relaxing

This home, its location, and proximity to the beach made our vacation very relaxing and lovely. It is clear that the homeowner takes great pride in her home and it had every amenity we could possibly need. Simple things like access to the garage to place our beach stuff each night locked up or use of the fridge/freezer in said garage to make keeping the ice for the cooler easy are just examples of how well thought out this rental property is. We had the opportunity to speak with Cheryl and she was very accommodating to our questions. The house is large enough that our family (dad, mom, son, daughter, and 2 grandmothers, along with our golden retriever) all had enough space so it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Overall great property and great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Herrmann 832-633-4575

Host profile image
I grew up in Upstate New York taking our summer vacations to the beaches of Maine. After moving to Houston, I visited Crystal Beach many times with family and friends. Every time we visited, my husband and I talked about buying a beach house. Finally, I did! Looking at retiring from a career in education, and Hurricane Ike taking our first house away, it was time to build our Absolutely Amazing Beach Retreat. My family, husband Joe and four boys has now grown into a wonderful family of almost 16! We love the beach, family time at the beach, relaxing and playing hard on Bolivar Peninsula. The boys now come down with a boat to enjoy duck hunting, fishing, and taking Grams for boat rides! I enjoy sharing my house with others and hope I can help you grow some Absolutely amazing memories!

Why they chose this property

In 2004 I bought the best little beach house I could afford just to get to Crystal Beach where we had enjoyed many family events for years. On September 11th 2008, Hurricane Ike took not only my entire house, but the entire Crystal Beach community.

What makes this property unique

Absolutely Amazing is set up to have fun! The views are gorgeous and the home, welcoming. I have a cargo lift to help bring all your "stuff" up, a kitchen that is well stocked with cooking supplies, and beds freshly made, awaiting your arrival. You can take the VERY short walk or ride the golf cart to the beach. There are beach toys in the garage along with a hammock to enjoy. There are two living areas providing extra room to set up air mattresses, if needed. The yard is landscaped and there is an extra lot for parking.
