Treat your family to that much-needed getaway to the quaint Crystal Beach community! This beautiful open-concept home boasts an inviting living area equipped with a comfortable couch and a set of chairs and a TV with cable. The dining area seats up to four people, but if you need a little bit more space and would like to enjoy your meals with a view, you can head to the lower level of this retreat and take advantage of the chairs and picnic table. There, you'll also find a private gas grill - now you won't have any excuses not to make a barbecue.
WHAT’S NEARBY

Pack your fishing gear and head over across the way to the beach, which is the ideal spot for beachfront wade fishing and any anglers who are always in search of the next best fishing hole.

This house was great! Very clean and perfect room layout. Awesome location. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 star is the kitchen is not equiped to cook for 10 guest.
Came here to get away. Weather wasn't the best, so glad this house was comfy. Found a nice little bar about a mile down the road open on weekends. Totally relaxing trip. I would definitely stay here again!
The house was a 5, but the management company was a 1or 2. They weren’t very friendly when we called with issues. The mosquitoes are terrible, so if you stay make sure you bring repellent because you will need it. They only provide the bare minimum & it wasn’t enough for the stay. We had to buy a lot of items that most places provide. •not enough cooking dishes or utensils •not enough cups or spoons •the place didn’t look like it was cleaned very well •the floors were nasty •the fridge had someone else’s leftovers in it •under the beds & dressers were nasty •not enough beach towels •different contact info & wifi passwords provided, most were incorrect & needed updated •Wi-Fi didn’t work •called the mgmt company twice with no answer
Overall we had a good time here but I’m not sure that I would rent at this particular house again . Pros: -Proximity to the beach. Super close to the beach and it was literally 1 min in the Jeep or a less then 5 min walk ( there is a path almost directly across the street ). The beach was pretty empty on Sunday and Monday. -The house was very spacious for three adults and two kids, but we would still have been comfortable with more people. Cons: -Traffic noise. The house is right next to a major road and the traffic is loud. It’s ok in the house and you can only really hear the noise in the front bedroom , but if you plan on sitting outside, the traffic noise really ruins it. -The house needs some TLC, a lot of broken furniture on the patio . One shower didn’t work, lots of random little things that need to be touched up or fixed. -Cleanliness was weird. A lot of personal items from past guest in random areas. Stained cushions. Used Soap and toiletries left in the bathroom from previously people. TV had oily hand / arms prints it. The top deck had sticky residue on it . Beds were clean. Countertops and surfaces were wiped down but not dried. It was like the cleaning was very rushed. To be fair , they did reach out right after check in and asked if we would like another cleaning service to come and we declined. We were only there 2 days and it wasn’t worth it. -WiFi did not work. I sent out two emails through the app and never got a response. I texted the number that wrote me about the cleanliness and they did respond. I was told they were contacting the “local staff” regarding the wifi issue but I again, Never heard back and they sent no one to fix it ( I didn’t need WiFi, the issue was that wifi is one of the listed amenities and it wasn’t working).
Great place and well kept. We took food for the week to save some money. Pots and pans need to be updated. The internet was spotty at best, but the entire island had outages. Overall a wonderful place to stay and we look forward to going back and staying again.
Definitely not cleaned well, I had to sweep the rugs and wipe the cabinets. They must have forgotten to vacuum. Food crumbs and sand on the rugs and sticky floors/cabinets. We finally got some patchy WiFi toward at the end of our last day. It was a struggle for my brother- in-law who had to do work off his phone and the signal was not so good. It’s a nice big spacious place to accommodate 10.
We loved having dinner on the lower deck in the evenings.
It is a quiet part of the beach. The house eas clean and we had a great time.
Comfortably fit two families into this great house right across the street from a fantastic, quiet beach. Just fifteen minutes to shops and restaurants—but make reservations! The shelling and beachcombing is excellent. Galveston is a day trip away. Three full bathrooms! Outdoor shower! Easy beach access. Great parking. Surrounded by nature. Stay here. You’ll be very comfortable.
This home was large enough to accommodate 2 families of 5. The beds were very comfortable. Easy access to the beach. I especially loved that it was clean!
