Find your happy place under the sun at this incredible Crystal Beach home! Boasting glittering gulf views and an ideal location just steps from the sand, this dreamy retreat is primed for carefree coastal living. A waterfront lawn deck offers sun-soaked lounging, while the shaded patio beneath the house offers a breezy spot for alfresco dining. There's even a gas grill provided for home cookouts. The main deck features covered and open-air seating areas. Anglers in the group can fish directly from the surf or book one of the many local charter services for off-shore excursions. When you want a break from the beach, cruise down to Fort Travis Park to tour the fort and learn about the area's military history. From there, you can catch the ferry over to Galveston. After the day's adventures, rinse off in the home's handy outdoor shower.

The living room welcomes indoor downtime with plush seating and a smart TV. The bonus room can double as a happy hour lounge or a daytime office, with features including patio sofas, and a built-in desk. Plan and prepare family-style meals with ease in the well-appointed stainless steel kitchen. A wet bar is equipped in the dining area for added convenience. Home essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Decent looking compared to all the others around(they are more up-to-date). Quick walk to the beach (beach access was rough with thick layers of sand). A few issues that need to be fixed. The cabinet where the pots and pans go was broken when we arrived. They have lots of plug-ins around the house (the one in the king size room was broken when we arrived). TV has weird dots on it and did not work for cable, had to use streaming services (which they had). Bathrooms are very small, hard to properly shower 9 people in a timely manner. Couch and loveseat very uncomfortable. Little swivel seat most comfortable. Not enough towels for everybody to have one for themselves. I have also never stayed somewhere you are expected to tear down your own bed or detail clean (tear down bed, put towels and bedding in a specific spot in the house, and sweep/vacuum) before, so that was first and to be Frank shocking considering we paid a “cleaning fee”. P.S. this house is pet friendly, however too pet friendly….. kids were playing hide and go seek and found DOG POOP behind the couch in the game room ). Overall fun little getaway, loved the story behind the house!

Location was great but the place is filthy
Ad sayid dog friendly but failed to mention the cat hair covering every single thing! Light switches have dirt caked in them and the carpets are soiled. Crockpot has food caked on outside of it under counters with mouse droppings. The front room picture is accurate. There was plenty of space for our needs but until it is cleaned I would not recommend.
