About this property

“Sea Glass”; Beach Views Galore; Private Beach Access; Brand New/Hidden Gem

Sea Glass Beach House is truly a special place.
The beach access is just 200 steps; an easy 1 minute and 30 second walk from the end of
the driveway to the beach. All kbeach gear is provided. Load up the wagon, chairs, towels, cooler, and toys and head out for a day of fun in the sun. After a long day in the sun, rinse off the sand at our outdoor shower, enjoy grilling right off the deck on a large propane grill while enjoying gorgeous sunsets and margaritas out of the Jimmy Buffet Margarita machine and homemade ice cream with the Ninja ice cream maker. Then play board games until the wee hours of the night with the entire family around the kitchen table overlooking the Gulf.

Sea Glass is located in the quiet neighborhood of Bolivar Dunes, offering residential only beach access. We are located just 5 miles north of The Big Store (groceries, gas, souvenirs, beach gear, hardware, beach pass, etc) and away from the "Zoo"/ chaos of central Crystal Beach. Looking for golf cart rentals to take from the house right on to the beach? Rentals are right across the street! Sea Glass is also 17 miles from the Ferry to Galveston which offers additional shopping, entertainment, restaurants, and Cruise Ship access. Riding the ferry is a great adventure in itself as there are often dolphin sightings during the trip. **we offer an additional discount to military and first responders. Not applicable to holidays or in conjunction with other discounts.

We came to the beach with our kids and my parents. It was the perfect size for all of us and had everything we could have wanted. It was very clean and a super short walk to the beach! We will hopefully be back again.

We absolutely loved this beach house, it’s gorgeous! Very close to the beach for those special family memories. The host was very helpful and extremely nice, if you need anything at all they are very quick at doing whatever they can to help. The beach house is spacious and very cozy, they have put a lot of effort into supplying the little things that busy parents often forget, that was so helpful! We will definitely book with them again

We had a great girls weekend here. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. All the beds were comfortable and each room had extra fans which was a great touch! The decor was absolutely beautiful! We really enjoyed our stay. The beach was a short walk away. The owners were very responsive to our messages and very helpful and accommodating. We would stay here again!

The home was beautifully designed and decorated. The location was just far enough off the beaten path that beach time was not over populated; yet close enough to town that things were readily accessible. The short walk to the beach was just right which also allowed a nice view of the beach from the house while enjoying the deck. Only recommendations would be to bring a sleep mask if you are not an early riser. Master bedroom allows the morning light in promptly at 6:30. lol not a real problem, just a suggestion. We loved the house and everything about it, and look forward to visiting the Sea Glass again.

I have stayed in many VRBO rentals over the years. This rental was not just a rental house, it was a home. Upon entering the property, the first thing you notice is a very pleasant and very clean scent. It smelled brand new. The pictures of this property do not do it justice. It is immaculately furnished with high end furniture, fixtures and materials. It felt like walking into an issue of Architectural Digest. Everything you need for a perfect beach vacation is provided by these owners. The kitchen has everything you can think of, including an ice cream maker and a frozen drink machine. The beds are so comfortable that you hate to get up and go to the beach...almost :-). The linens, pillows and towels provided are thick and luxurious. They even provided beautiful weighted blankets and throws for the most comfortable night of sleep. They have 3 full bathrooms which are needed for a family who is getting ready, all at the same time, to go out to dinner after a day at the beach. The primary (master) bathroom was beautiful. It has a huge walk in shower with an over sized shower head and hand held. I can't say enough about the quality of this VRBO rental home. I liked it so much, I took pictures of every room to use during the renovation of my home. I highly recommend renting from this homeowner. They even left a "Thank You" card with a bottle of wine and salt water taffy. Very Classy!!Thank you Carrie and Bill for a great vacation!

Why they chose this property

Sea Glass is located in “The Dunes at Bolivar” neighborhood with private access to the beach. It is on the east side of the Bolivar Peninsula on the quiet side. Listen to the waves from the deck with gorgeous views along the coastline.

What makes this property unique

Sea Glass is truly a “hidden gem” on the Bolivar Peninsula. It is far enough away from the craziness of central Crystal Beach, yet still just 5 miles from the local grocery store. The home is brand new with an elegant beach vibe, complete with hot tub, fire pit, arcade, and beach gear. Sit on the deck, with views of the beach and absolutely gorgeous sunsets. Private access to the beach; it is just what your soul is calling for when it comes to some much needed vitamin sea.
