The Beach Experience
This home offers easy, stress-free access to the Texas Gulf Coast. You’re just steps from the sand, making it simple to head back and forth throughout the day without packing up or loading the car. Morning coffee walks, sunset strolls, shell hunting, and spontaneous beach time are all part of the rhythm here.
This stretch of beach near Gilchrist is wider and less crowded than central Crystal Beach, giving families and groups more space to relax, spread out, and enjoy the coast at their own pace.

Outdoor Living Is the Star
The outdoor space is where this home truly shines. The half-acre yard is rare for the Crystal Beach area and gives everyone room to enjoy their vacation without feeling crowded. Kids and dogs have space to move, while adults relax on the deck, gather by the fire pit, or soak in the hot tub after a long beach day.
The outdoor cooking setup is a favorite for groups. From quick breakfasts on the griddle to slow cooks on the smoker or grilling over the fire pit grate, meals are designed to be easy, social, and outdoors. After the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower before settling in for the evening.

Hot Tub & Evening Relaxation
The hot tub is a popular way to unwind after sun, salt, and sand. Evenings tend to stretch longer here, with guests moving between the deck, fire pit, and hot tub while enjoying Gulf breezes and open skies. With less light pollution than busier beach towns, stargazing is excellent on clear nights.

Inside the Home
Inside, the home is bright, comfortable, and designed for groups. The open layout keeps everyone connected while still allowing space to relax. Bedrooms are arranged to comfortably accommodate families and mixed adult groups without feeling crowded.
The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking and flows naturally into the indoor dining and outdoor cooking areas. Seating and dining spaces are sized for shared meals, games, and downtime after beach days.

Tech, Comfort & Convenience
Fast Starlink Wi-Fi supports streaming, remote work, and keeping everyone connected. Smart TVs, full laundry, and practical storage make longer stays easy and comfortable.

Parking is generous, with space for multiple vehicles, trailers, or carts. For EV drivers, the Level 2 on-site charger is a major convenience. Arrive, plug in, and enjoy your stay without searching for public charging, ideal for trips from Houston, Dallas, Austin, and beyond.

The Area
The home is located near Gilchrist on the Bolivar Peninsula, just outside of Crystal Beach. This area is known for its quieter pace, open beaches, and relaxed atmosphere, while Crystal Beach restaurants, groceries, and local attractions are only a short drive away.
Guests enjoy beach driving, fishing, shelling, bird watching, and wide-open coastal views. Evenings are calm and peaceful, making it easy to unplug and slow down after busy days.

Why Guests Choose This Home
Guests choose this home because it removes friction from beach travel. Easy Gulf access, generous outdoor space, real cooking setups, and thoughtful amenities make it easy for groups to relax together. Whether you’re here for family time, beach days, grilling, or simply slowing down, the house is set up to support it.

    The house was very welcoming, had everything we needed for our little get away. The best things I Enjoyed was the space outside, the Hottub was great also due to the rainy weather when we arrived. We enjoyed this stay

    We truly enjoyed our stay here. The house has everything you need. It was a short walk to the beach. The kids had a great time, they even asked if we could rent this house the next time.

    My husband, myself and our 5 year old daughter stayed here during spring break and LOVED this place. The location of the house to the beach is a 2 minute walk. The beach was clean and we loved the abundance of seashells to collect. We enjoyed the outdoor space at this house the most, the upstairs patio was spacious and my daughter loved to play up there and my husband and I lounged/read enjoyed the view of the ocean. We used the firepit and hot tub several nights downstairs. Bonus was this was a quiet area and houses were not right on top of each other which was nice. Loved it, highly recommend!!

    Great house, perfect location and clean! Owner was responsive and helpful. Sadly we had to leave early because a tornado knocked out power to the whole peninsula but we hope to come back and I would love to stay here again!

    Our family very much enjoyed our short October stay at this property. The house was clean and well stocked with essentials, as well as a full range of kitchen equipment. There is a great ocean view from the porch and short walk to the beach. The owner is very responsive and had our one small issue taken care of the same day. Thank you, Chris and Ana, for sharing your home with us.

    Had trouble contacting anyone about checkin codes for property. Some how the emails that were sent previously disappeared was hard to find the emails or contact customer service phone numbers on the day of arrival.

    The house was very comfortable . They had the essentials to accommodate us . House was clean and very spacious . Loved the location . Host was very responsive when I called / texted about anything in the house . It was very chilly when we went but they had heaters on the patio with propane gas so it kept us warm while we were outside. Definitely recommend . We will be back once weather is warmer.
