We were looking for a getaway from the world. It was awesome, the space was cozy like being home, and the view was beautiful! Looking to plan our next getaway here again!
Location was great. Beach views from the decks were fantastic. The home was exactly as described. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice to have the half bath in addition to the three other ones. We had difficulty getting in the house, but the owner responded immediately for us to get in.
Beach view was great from the amazing covered deck.Beach access was amazing right on the road right to the beach. The house was very roomy and comfortable, had everything we needed and great hot water!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
We had sick children that had the stomach flu. We messaged the host to see about late check out, and she was not accommodating at all and was very rude on the phone. The house was great, but the host is horrible.
What a beautiful home!! The weather really didn't cooperate with us, but that was ok!! The house was so homey, it was comfortable. The bed was great!! Definitely planning to go back for another visit and this will be the home of our choice!!!
This property is gorgeous, just exactly as the pictures portrayed. My aunt and cousin and I, all women over 45, decided to have a “reading retreat” so we brought lots of good food and good books. The beach is just a few steps away out of the driveway. We each were able to have our own bedroom and bathroom, plus there’s a powder room off of the main living area. Great big kitchen, massive countertops, so we had fun cooking. Huge dining room table that we used for eating at one end and putting together puzzles at the other end. Beach walks at sunrise and sunset. Amazing peaceful wonderful getaway. Discussing coming back twice a year to do it all again! We will definitely pick this house every time.

Great House!
What a great house with a great location just steps from the beach and the view from the amazing wraparound porch of the beach was perfect. The inside of the house is gorgeous with all the amenities. The house had all we needed to really enjoy our stay. Definitely a house we will enjoy again in the future.

Magical
The best by far vacation i have taken the family on. The house with the beach right outside the front door literally amazing. It made us never want to leave. No joke the house is sooo beautiful and well kept and located with the beach out the front door. Beds were so amazing and even my 8 year said a week after we got home that she hasn't been able to sleep as well as she did there. Only 5 of us were there although it sleeps 14 comfortably, it was so relaxing the neighborhood made me feel safe, I went on morning walks on beach and in neighborhood will definitely be coming back.
Stayed with our 3 kids and brother in law for a little vacation and the house was large enough for everyone to have their own bedroom and bathroom. The house is only a few steps away from the beach and the porch gives great views of the ocean and the breeze. There is a large kitchen with made it easy to cook a few meals. The home was well cared for and had one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on.

WONDERFUL home!!!!!!! Perfect beach access!
This home is perfect for your beach getaway! They had the comfiest beds and pillows, very organized (light switches are all labeled), spacious, very clean, and plenty of bathrooms. We absolutely loved the outdoor shower and sand spout as you walk upstairs! Saved us from a ton of sand getting in the home! Great seating on deck to enjoy the view! Highly recommend staying here!

Perfect Location
Overall experience was great. The layout of the house was great and location to the beach was perfect. Only downside(more unusual from our previous experiences) was the lack of access to the pantry, we had to use what felt like a cleaning closet, and no access to storage downstairs. Previous houses in the area we would have access to a room or garage downstairs to help with not just leaving things out. Not enough of an issue to drop to 4 stars though. Great experience.

Hidden Gem!
Wow! What a hidden GEM, especially to those of us wanting to treat ourselves to a time of luxury! In a solitude; but best of all, a safe and secure neighborhood with the friendliest of people found anywhere along with local restaurants that will compete with any of them anywhere!

Beautiful by the Beach
We loved our stay at the Crystal Beach Retreat! The house was gorgeous comfortable and so close to beach access. We highly recommend this house. We were a party of 7 and occupied all the bedrooms and beds. Our only complaint was the mosquito population due to the recent hurricane, which was mother nature at her worst! Loved the wrap around deck and out door seating on the upstairs deck.Will come back again!
House was very well organized and clean. Location was perfect. Host was amazing. All was exactly as described. We go down to Galveston every year for the Rally. This was one of the best trips. We were able to come back and relax at the house. Spend time at the beach and enjoy ourselves. Would recommend this place for sure. Will be getting in touch again next year.
