Pet Friendly but not Senior Friendly

This property was "as advertised". Just a few suggested improvements. Repair a/c-heat thermostat that was not working properly; put a lid on the kitchen garbage can; the ceiling fans need longer pull chains on them (especially the living room) so the speed of the fan can be adjusted as needed; a grab bar in the shower for safety would be nice; and the stairway handrails are awkward to hold onto while ascending or descending the stairs. Final suggestion is that the owner(s) be more respective of renter's privacy. They should be available, if needed, but otherwise be invisible.

The wife and I get away every January for an annual reset, and we have stayed with Peggy and Johnie Mac before, the peninsula just happened to have some of the worst winter weather, freezing temps, sleet and 2-4 inches of snow during our stay, and we had no issues with the property, warm and cozy, water didn’t freeze and never lost power!! The perfect little beach cottage for quick get away!

Lovely, clean home

Very clean, nice beach house feel. We elected to do our own cleaning but it took a little longer than we anticipated. Next time we will pay the cleaning fee. Only had a tiny glimpse (with the use of our imagination) of the gulf. Overall, lovely overnight stay.

Great Time

We have stayed at Peggy Mac’s and Johnie Mac’s multiple times. Directions to the house are easy to follow, and communication is spot on. The place is always clean. The house sleeps 6 and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s a short walk to the beach . The neighborhood has a fun family vibe, and it’s near everything at Crystal Beach you would want to access. Great time! We will be back!

Great location

We stayed during a rainstorm the entire week, but we still had fun. The house is 1/4 mile from the beach, if that far. We rented a golf cart and took it on the beach during any breaks in the rain. We also enjoyed riding around the neighborhood. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. Just what we were looking for. The owners were helpful and concerned about keeping us informed and making sure our stay was great.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Dodson McDonald

Host profile image
My husband, Johnie, and I are retired educators. Crystal Beach was our “home away from home” for many years. We have been in the rental business since 2006 and have lived here permanently since 2011. Peggy Dodson McDonald

Why they chose this property

While Galveston is just a free ferry ride away, we like the peace and quiet of Crystal Beach. Peggy Macs is located in the preferred, quiet, family friendly subdivision called Sandy Shores, yet centrally located. We enjoy watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the deck and stargazing at night. And of course, the beaches are fantastic.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!! Our cabin is just a short walk to the beach and close to anything and everything you may need, whether it's the gocery store, the shops and restaurants, the marina, or the water slide. It's all right there!!! And in the preferred Sandy Shores subdivision! WIFI available.
