Nov 20, 2024 #### Wonderful home-checked all the boxes Our family enjoyed this rental very much. We were a party of five adults and two children. Having front row easy access to the beach was important to us and this home delivered. The views from the deck, lower patio and inside the house were fantastic. We were able to enjoy beautiful sunrise and sunset. The wrap around deck was spacious and had plenty of seating options. There is a nice little seating area on the downstairs patio that is a little more private. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, there was plenty of space and privacy. The home was well equipped, and met all of our needs for a fabulous beach vacation. ##### Angela S.

On more secluded part of the peninsula where you can see the ocean in front and Innercoastal Waterway with barge traffic from behind you. Yellow Rose has a huge deck that wraps from front to back so you can take it all in. Beach has almost no car traffic and steps from the cabin. Love that 2 bedrooms have doors out to the deck. Would definitely recommend. ##### Terri H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reggie H. Jul 15, 2023 #### Great House! This house is set up great for multiple people. My friend and I stayed a few days with grown grands and enjoyed. Great deck, great location, steps to the beach. The sand was unusually deep on this trip. Golf carts and other vehicles getting stuck all over the place. Nice view from the deck watching all the action 😂. Loved the house. ##### Reggie H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abbie W. Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I hardly ever leave reviews, but I just had to on this one. Before our trip, I had a lot of questions. Every time I would email the property management I would get a email back within a hour. The beach House is right on the beach, literally. It is located in a quiet area with not a lot of beach traffic. We drove to Galveston one afternoon to go out to eat. Their beaches were packed! That really made me appreciate there is hardly anybody on the beach at our location. 10 people was the maximum number of people (at one time) I saw at the beach, where we stayed. The beach was clean. The house was in perfect condition when we got there. Everything was clean the beds were made, The kitchen ….had dishes, cups, bowls, cook ware….it was all there. I have rented probably about five beach houses over the years. This one is by far the best. I did have to call, after hours, regarding the code not working for the house when I got there, but they called me back within five minutes. I would rent this beach house again. The approximately 30 minutes drive from Galveston was worth it due to clean beach. Privacy and roomie house. ##### Abbie W. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Will D.

Oct 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beachfront break from reality We enjoyed our beachfront stay at The Yellow Rose! The house was very clean and well stocked with linens and kitchenware. As with any vacation we ran into a few minor inconveniences along the way. The key pad wouldn’t take our code upon check in but we called the number on the door and Daniel was there within 5 minutes to help us. He was very nice and made sure we didn’t need anything else before he left. The ice maker couldn’t keep up with the demand of our crowd of 8 but we supplemented with a bag of ice while it made more. We have the same fridge at home so we are familiar with the ice maker not keeping up with the demand. The WiFi was spotty when trying to stream things to watch at night or trying to watch football games but I completely realize to most this wouldn’t be an issue as you are at the beach. Just something I thought I would mention if you have kiddos or a sports fan. Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay here again! ##### Teresa T.

Mar 13, 2024 #### Wonderful Stay at Crystal Beach We recently had the pleasure of staying at the vacation rental house on Crystal Beach, and it was an absolute delight. From start to finish, our experience was smooth and enjoyable. Clear Process: The process of renting and checking in was incredibly straightforward. Clear instructions were provided, making it easy for us to settle in without any hassle. Accommodating Staff: On the day of check in, we needed to make some changes to our agreement. The staff were exceptionally accommodating and understanding. Their flexibility made our stay stress-free. Clean and Well-Equipped: The house itself was immaculate. It was evident that cleanliness was a top priority. Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful amenities. The high-quality pans and appliances in the kitchen made cooking a breeze. A Small Suggestion: The only minor improvement we could suggest is having a rug inside the door and a shoe tray or mat for wet shoes. Since it was raining during our stay, this would have been helpful to keep the floors dry. Overall, our time at the Crystal Beach rental house was memorable, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. We'll definitely be back! ##### Katherine O.

Mar 14, 2024 #### Wonderful Stay at Crystal Beach We recently had the pleasure of staying at the vocation rental house on Crystal Beach, and it was an absolute delight. From start to finish, our experience was smooth and enjoyable. Clear Process: The process of renting and checking in was incredibly straightforward. Clear instructions were provided, making it easy for us to settle in without any hassle. Accommodating Staff: On the day of check in, we needed to make some changes to our agreement. The staff were exceptionally accommodating and understanding. Their flexibility made our stay stress-free. Clean and Well-Equipped: The house itself was immaculate. It was evident that cleanliness was a top priority. Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful amenities. The high-quality pans and appliances in the kitchen made cooking a breeze. A Small Suggestion: The only minor improvement we could suggest is having a rug inside the door and a shoe tray or mat for wet shoes. Since it was raining during our stay, this would have been helpful to keep the floors dry. Overall, our time at the Crystal Beach rental house was memorable, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. We'll definitely be back! ##### Katherine O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paiton B.

It was able to accommodate our group of 12 with no issues. It’s clean, beautifully decorated and has plenty of space. The deck is amazing - overlooking the beach. You are literally walking distance to the beach! The views are gorgeous and it’s an easy drive back to the store or restaurants. The host was also quick to respond if we had an issues or questions! ![View from the front deck during sunset](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6bb3e199-6147-4462-96fc-67a8348ac7e2-1751412673207.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the sunset from the side deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15e30f96-54fd-4a6b-96b1-93b7235f5cad-1751412674241.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the front deck ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/358cada9-29b1-4ba5-a8cb-b53b07685ec8-1751412696053.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paiton B.

The only issue we encountered was the lock on door at check in - Battery died on key pad. The back door dead bolt did not work and the handle lock was unlocked so we were able to enter that way. I called and was given the code for passkey. I let them know about back door dead bolt not working and that the door handle lock was not working properly. House smells brand new, all the rooms were clean. Beds were super soft - pillows were very large and looked nice on beds but a little too big to sleep on. We will definitely be back to this property! ##### Avia H.
