Spacious beach house with hot tub, EV charger & big yard ⭐ Highlights Guests Book For • Steps to the Gulf with an easy, walkable beach access • Spacious 3BR beach house that sleeps 12 comfortably • Large hot tub for relaxing after beach days • Outdoor kitchen & cooking setup with griddle, smoker, and fire pit grate • Rare half-acre yard with room to spread out, play, and relax • Large deck with seating for 12 and multiple outdoor gathering areas • Level 2 on-site EV charger (Tesla compatible) • Fast Starlink Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, full laundry, and ample parking • Pet friendly • Quiet stretch of the Bolivar Peninsula, near Gilchrist and minutes from Crystal Beach The Beach Experience Beach access here is easy and stress-free. You’re just steps from the sand, making quick trips back and forth simple. Morning coffee walks, sunset strolls, shell hunting, and spontaneous beach runs don’t require loading the car or packing up for the day. This stretch of coast is more open and less crowded, with wide beaches and long sightlines that make it easy to relax and spread out. Outdoor Living Is the Star Guests consistently gravitate outdoors. The half-acre yard is rare for the area and gives everyone space to enjoy their vacation without feeling on top of one another. Kids and dogs have room to move. Adults can 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. Whether you’re doing a quick breakfast on the griddle, slow cooking on the smoker, or grilling over the fire pit grate, everything is designed for easy group meals and long evenings outside. 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, especially after sun, salt, and sand. Evenings here tend to stretch longer, with people drifting between the deck, fire pit, and hot tub while enjoying cooler Gulf breezes and open skies. Stargazing is excellent on clear nights, with far less light pollution than busier beach towns. Inside the Home The interior is bright, comfortable, and set up for groups. The open layout allows everyone to stay connected while still having space to relax. Bedrooms are arranged to comfortably accommodate families and mixed groups, making it easy for everyone to settle in without feeling crowded. The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking, not just reheating, and flows naturally to the outdoor cooking areas. Dining and seating areas are sized for shared meals, games, and downtime. Tech, Comfort & Convenience Fast Starlink Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected, whether you’re streaming, working remotely, or keeping kids entertained. Smart TVs, full laundry, and practical storage make longer stays easy. Parking is generous, with room for multiple vehicles, trailers, or carts. For EV drivers, the Level 2 on-site EV charger is a major convenience. Arrive, plug in, and enjoy your stay without searching for public chargers. It’s ideal for road trips from Houston, Dallas, Austin, and beyond. The Area This home is located near Gilchrist on the Bolivar Peninsula, offering a quieter, more relaxed pace while still being close to Crystal Beach amenities. Restaurants, groceries, ice cream shops, and local spots are just a short drive away, and the Galveston ferry is easily accessible for day trips. The area is known for beach drives, fishing, shelling, bird watching, and wide-open coastal views. Nights are calm and peaceful, making it easy to unplug and slow down. Why Guests Choose This Home This is a place where groups can actually relax together. Easy beach access, generous outdoor space, real cooking setups, and thoughtful amenities remove friction from your stay. Whether you’re here for family time, beach days, grilling, or simply slowing down, the house is set up to support it. If you’re looking for a well-equipped Gulf Coast beach house with room to breathe, space to gather, and conveniences that make travel easier, this Bolivar Peninsula retreat delivers. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Electric car charging station - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Unit size: 1,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77880000/77870300/77870212/6e124a51.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pool Table\*Hot Tub\* Fenced Yard\* King Beds\* Pet Friendly\* Crystal Beach - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 6 reviews CA $230 CA $638 total includes taxes & fees Feb 1 - Feb 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=77870212&PinnedHotelID=77870212&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112810000/112807300/112807280/b66d134f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### “Whispers of Nature” A tranquil acre for 10 guests Northeast Houston - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=112807280&PinnedHotelID=112807280&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121680000/121673500/121673465/442153e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Lakefront Retreat with Outdoor Entertaining Spaces, Office, + Parking Willis - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=121673465&PinnedHotelID=121673465&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111360000/111354200/111354169/d4f21ae3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Gathering Lovely Spacious 5-bedroom House Magnolia - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=111354169&PinnedHotelID=111354169&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72690000/72687600/72687533/3ee02985.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Very Nice Country Stay Not Far Away

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!! ##### Jayme L.

Host was very responsive and helped us when needed. We truly wanted to extend our stay an additional day but the property was already booked otherwise we would've stayed an extra day. My only suggestion would be for more laundry pods, other than that this place was awesome and we'd book again! ##### Aneesah R.

My family and my in-laws stayed here! The house is clean and decorated so nicely! Perfect set up, the hosts have thought of everything. Everything we needed, they had it! Adults stayed in the two main bedrooms and all the cousins stayed in the bunk room. They loved getting to stay in one room together. The bunk beds are not twin sized, they are nice full size beds. Blankets to get cozy on the couch and wonderful games for family fun. The deck is perfect and faces the ocean. Wonderful view with a nice breeze. Walking distance to the beach and not crowded. We will be back! Thank you to the hosts, excellent property! ##### Emily W. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew B.

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. ##### Andrew B.

Jun 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay We really enjoyed our stay at Rayo de Sol. This home has a convenient location right off of the highway and just a short little walk to the beach with no excess traffic. The neighborhood is small and quiet which makes for a peaceful stay. The beach in front of the neighborhood was also quiet and not crowded one bit. When you first arrive, you'll find that there is plenty of room downstairs for games and hanging out. Upstairs, the balcony is large and has plenty of seating. You can hear and see the waves from there, which adds a peaceful touch. Inside, pops of yellow provide a cheerful mood. The home was clean and roomy and was well stocked. We thought the beds were very comfy and loved the soft pillows. We greatly appreciated that a pack and play and a high chair was provided as we traveled with a 1 year old. Very nice touch. Other nice little touches were a few toys for very young children, the hammock, soap in the outdoor shower, choice of grills, a cooler and the so much fun, colorful party lights. We highly recommend this home. Thank you for sharing it with us! ##### Teresa B.
