CRYSTAL BEACH, Texas
Beachfront with views, views, & more views!
Unlike most beach houses on the island, this home's architecture was designed to take advantage of its prime beach front location providing almost every room in the home with abundant light and gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you're soaking in the master tub, cooking in the kitchen, eating in the dining room, lounging in the family room by the fireplace, working in the bunk room office, relaxing or sunning on one of our sun decks, using the private dune walkover and deck areas, or sleeping in one of the five bedrooms, you will be enjoying deep blue ocean views!

Just a short drive from the Houston area and you've reached Moss Landing on Crystal Beach. As soon as you board the Galveston Island Ferry en route, you'll feel the stress of city life melting away. And then, after the short 15 minute ferry ride (or take the alternate bridge route if you prefer), you soon arrive in Crystal Beach where you'll find this island paradise retreat sitting on almost an acre of prime ocean-front property ready to host you, your family, and friends for an idyllic beach vacation.

We all enjoyed the stay! The house was clean, beds were comfy, lots of extra towels & the location was perfect!!! We really loved the private walk to the beach! The house was stocked with lots of necessities! Perfect family or girls weekend spot!!!
Our whole party had an epic time here! The property was flawless (we had some trouble with the oven but the owner was on it asap) and the location couldn’t have been better. The walkover to the beach was a huge bonus and the view from the sitting area on it was amazing! We used that a lot. The owner was responsive and fun to communicate with. We all definitely recommend. Our family is currently building a beachfront home down the beach a ways but if we weren’t we would rent this place again and again!
Loved the property. Very clean, great space for a family. Fantastic that it has its own yard and private boardwalk over the dunes to the beach. Host is very responsive and helpful. Can't go wrong if with this place if you want to take your family to the beach.
The location and the overall house was fabulous! There were several things that needed attention on the property, these things caused our stay to be a bit troublesome. If we would of been told upfront about the possible issues, we would not of rented the property. The owner/property manager, who is a very pleasant & nice person was aware of the possible issues with the appliances, plumbing and non working hottub but failed to mention in advance before we rented the house.
We had a wonderful time at Moss Landing. Everything was exactly the way it was described. We had two families, 4 adults and 4 kids and we felt like we had more than enough room. I really feel you get a 5 star experience at this home.
This is our favorite vacation rental we have used! The home is beautiful and everything we needed was right there. Cooking in the fabulous kitchen was even part of the fun. One of everyone's favorite amenities was the walkover to the beach! Thank you for our wonderful stay!!
Our trip to Crystal Beach and stay at Moss Landing was absolutely perfect! First, let me just emphasis that this house is GORGEOUS; not only is this home beautifully decorated, it is located front row, providing breathtaking beach views and unmatched convenience (the private walk way was perfect - esp with two small children and our beach equipment). Moss Landing is also immaculate and spacious. Our party consisted of 5 adults and 3 children (age 9, 4, and 2). There was MORE than enough room for us all. My small boys loved the bunk room, plus it was nice having two king-sized beds available (both of which were sooooo comfortable). My niece loved the small nook (not pictured in the listing), that housed a twin bed. We were all able to hang out in the kitchen, the living room, or even outside - and never did we feel cramped. Also, I must mention the attention to detail in this home: light switches were labeled; there is an amazing sand box stocked full of toys for smaller children; a gorgeous covered ground-floor patio; an amazing master bathroom; and a convenient/private outdoor shower. Furthermore, Moss Landing comes fully stocked with bath and beach towels, toiletries, kitchen supplies (including Pyrex dishes for beach treats, margarita glasses, a cheese grater, wine opener, coffee - all of which came in handy), and beach equipment (including beach chairs, fold out tables, floats, beach balls, umbrellas, and more). I definitely can not say enough good things about this beautiful home and Mr. Moss. He was responsive, attentive, informative and organized. Seriously, if you are looking at other VRBO properties, do yourself a favor - stop now and book this property!
This was our second stay at this property. It was relaxing. The kids did not want to leave and neither did we. We are already talking about going back.
Would stay there again. The owner was very responsive and accommodating to any issues that came up. The palm trees in the yard block the beach view a little, which made it a little difficult watching the kids from the porch while they play on the beach. Beautiful views though and the home is very nicely decorated.
Beachfront living at its best for all ages. Location ideal, views incredible, excellent experience for our family.
