Crystal Beach, Texas
Beachfront with panoramic ocean views, home theater and hot tub. Both bedrooms overlook the beach with king beds, 65” TVs and en suite bathrooms. The living room has an 85" TV, surround sound and high-speed internet for movies/games. Designed as a 2-story duplex with separate entrances, decks, A/C and sound proofing, the VRBO is the 1000 sq ft first floor. The 2nd floor is for the owners who travel frequently and is never rented. If present they're usually invisible. EV charging is available..
One of only 8 houses on the peninsula with a deck mounted hot tub that has panoramic ocean views, or enjoy the gas firepit under the covered deck. In the evening or during bad weather, the living room becomes a small home theater with an 85” 4k HDR TV and Dolby 5.1 rear-speaker surround sound for movies, sports or video games. This is also one of the few houses on the peninsula with high-speed Starlink satellite internet that allows movie and game streaming or -- if you must -- video conferencing lol. One of the bedrooms has a small wall-mounted desk (laptop sized) but can use the 65" TV as a monitor. 15% off for weekly stays.
This property is perfect for an individual, couple, two couples or a small family of four who want a beachfront experience central to Crystal Beach attractions ... without paying for a 10 bed house. Occupancy is limited to a maximum of 4 people and two cars. Our neighbors are permanent residents and very friendly. We’d like to keep them that way, so this property cannot be used as “party central” for a group.
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything from K-cup coffee to waffle maker. It also features e-Spring ultraviolet water purification and full-sized stacked washer and dryer. The air conditioning/heating system also has ultraviolet air treatment. Both en suite bathrooms have double vanities, rain shower heads, separate toilet rooms and plenty of bath and beach towels.
Covered parking under the house can fit two cars and a golf cart. Covered stairs go directly to the entrance on the covered deck. There's also an outside sand shower and three burner gas grill. A 32 amp Level 2 charger is available upon request (normally turned off due to proximity to the ocean/salt air). One time fee of $20 for EV charging. For safety, the carport has motion detector flood lights with security cameras.
Coastal conditions are tough on power lines and transformers, so peninsula wide blackouts are not uncommon. This house has an automatic backup generator and is built extra strong earning an IBHS Fortified Hurricane Rating.
In the heart of Crystal Beach, you’re a half mile walk to frozen drinks, ice cream, golf cart rentals, putt putt golf and a water slide (in season). You’re less than a mile to restaurants, miniature golf, Dollar General, a liquor store and a fully equipped gym (allows pay-by-the-day workouts). You’re a mile and a half from “The Big Store” (like a mini-Walmart) and helicopter tours (in season). A 15-minute golf cart ride along the beach takes you to Camp Margaritaville resort with swim up bar and live music many weekends.
During the summer, weekends or holidays, the beachfront can be active and entertaining to watch lol but also loud late into the evening. Despite sound proofing and sound machines in the bedrooms, nothing completely blocks 500 watt subwoofers, V8s or fireworks. Also, much of the peninsula is natural wetlands. Depending on recent rain and wind direction, mosquitos can be plentiful. We have plenty of mosquito repellant.
Everything about this place is just wonderful! From the location, to the view, to the decor, to the hosts who are fantastically attentive and very nice folks. Even the shower was great! It's a two minute walk to a nice stretch of beach that was perfect for a morning jog. After a morning jog, I super appreciated the hot tub on the deck where I enjoyed the ocean front view. The home theater was awesome and the kitchen (along with everything else on this property) was well appointed and immaculate. The hosts, Lilli & Dave, obviously put great care into this property to make it a comfortable and relaxing experience for their guests. I travel a lot and stayed at a lot of VRBOs. This place by far is best.
We left cool South Dakota to warm up on the Texas Gulf. Excellent hosts and location. The walk to the beach is literally only steps away. The hot tub was crystal clear and maintained perfectly. The ocean view makes morning coffee better. The floor plan is intelligent and flexible in accommodating family or couples. The is kitchen perfectly set up to create snacks or meals. Don’t cook? Fun delicious eating establishments are only minutes away. The unobstructed view of the ocean is perfect. The setting is upscale and spotless. Amazing ocean sounds all day long.We loved it. Dave and Lilly are so thoughtful. The weather isn’t the only warmth you will encounter in Texas. Mike, Erin and Ellie.
This house was absolutely AMAZING! Dave and Lilli thought of EVERYTHING to make this the most comfortable and unforgettable stay we've ever had! The house itself is beautiful and the attention to detail is one of a kind! You cannot beat the unobstructed view of the beach from the awesome deck that includes the hot tub and firepit making it a spectacular setting! The short walk to the beach was the cherry on top of how perfect this vacation was! Even though the house had everything we could possibly need, when we did get out to explore Crystal Beach/Galveston, everything was super close... From fresh delicious seafood to yummy tropical drinks to any shopping you would want to do including super unique souvenirs! We highly recommend staying here and hope to come back soon! 10/10!! ?❤️
