The kids had fun with the arcade room too!The views from the deck were great and many morning cups of coffee were enjoyed listening to the birds. Check-in was easy and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Host was responsive to all questions and concerns.As mentioned in other reviews the road noise was near constant and all the living space is up a flight of stairs. We knew this going in so nothing negative on the host, but is certainly something to note if you have family that may be challenged by daily stair use. ##### melody t.

Such a great surprise and perfect for some chilly evenings we spent during our Thanksgiving trip. The beach access was super convenient and the views were great. This is no way felt like at 4th-row beach house. Loved the fenced in back yard for our pup, and the way the fence encompassed the stair landing was very well though out. Three king bedrooms made all the adults in our group feel comfortable. The house overall was very well laid-out and well appointed. ##### Shallon B.

Plenty of room and set up well to host a large surprise birthday party for my mom. The only thing that would make this a better property would be to add a cargo lift to get things up and down for the stay. But we knew at the outset that it was a beach house and that it didn't have a cargo lift, so nothing negative on the owners. ##### Richard C.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. We were a group of 2 families (4 adults, 6 kids) and the house fit us perfectly. Would probably could have even had another family of 4/5 and still have been very comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make all meals in. The upstairs game room was such a hit for the kids and they would have been happy playing up there all day. Upstairs is a loft, but there are doors than can be closed so it does feel private and like another bedroom. The beach is literally steps away and we even let the older kids go down by themselves since we could see them from the deck of the house. We’d love to come back to this house again! ##### Marli P.

I had such a wonderful and relaxing time at Purple Surf on Crystal Beach! Just a hop skip and a jump away from Houston, no messing around with 45 South, just cruise down I-10 east until you reach Winnie and consider yourself there! My special needs daughter and I met up with my middle daughter, son-in-law and grandkids at this great get away! Very much a family friendly beach, quiet, and stress free. My grandkids loved it - played in the sand and had a blast riding the waves😊 Better yet, Purple Surf has a fenced in back yard with grass and a swing set, the kids loved it, of course, and I was amazed the outdoor shower had HOT and cold water! Not sure which feature I liked best, the close proximity to the beach for my special needs daughter and me or sitting on the porch relaxing with a glass of wine enjoying a breathtaking view. I’ll let you decide! ##### Rhonda M. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann S.
