Enjoy the unobstructed view from the spacious deck, grill some fresh seafood on the BBQ (next to the outdoor shower), or have a blast splashing in the salty water of the newly minted Gulf of America.

Located 10 minutes from the Bolivar Ferry Landing, the home is convenient for Galveston day trips.

We've included linens, small toiletries, and towels with the property to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible.

We took a quick trip down to Crystal Beach just to relax and spend time with the kids. It is a perfect location; easy walk to the beach. The house is the very spacious and very clean. The huge deck is perfect for watching the sunrise. We hope to go back soon!

Perfect Location & A Great Home

Home is located on the quieter end of Crystal Beach, which makes it a perfect family get away location. Home is clean and updated and ha views to die for. We bought fresh shrimp from a local shop and had a wonderful shrimp boil with our family.

Perfect Beach Vacation

For my family, (adults and teens), this place was just perfect for us. We appreciated having enough beds for everyone, a nice big dining table, and kitchen easy to cook in. We were very happy to find a charcoal grill and outdoor shower too. Being able to walk to and from the beach so easily and whenever we each wanted was the cherry on top. We'll be back again next year too!

Peaceful is exactly what it is

No beach ruckus because of the wetland buffer. You can see the water which is perfect but not the beach which for us was perfect. Lots of breeze. The house is well stocked and perfect!! I’ll be coming back to this.

Awesome house in a quite area right on the beach!

This was by far one of the best houses we have stayed at in Crystal Beach. We visit Crystal Beach at least 2-4 times a year. This house was in an area close to everything yet in a neighborhood on the beach that was not crowded. I didn’t hear loud cars/music at night despite being on the first row of the beach. It was clean and the property manger is super responsive to questions. It had everything we needed for a great price! Can’t say enough good things about this property!

Great location with awesome ocean view!

What a wonderful place to get away to! The 3 bedrooms are nicely set up for families with 2 sets of bunk beds yet could be a perfect set up for 2 or 3 couples as well. Stocked with books and all types of games that are helpful for a rainy day. We didn’t cook but the kitchen is well equipped as well. My personal favorite thing was the unobstructed view of the beach from the large deck. I’ve stayed at places where the pictures made things appear closer than they were - not the case here! A short stroll on a path and you can be in the water. Overall, a great place to vacation and we’ll be back when it’s warmer.

Girls weekend getaway

Allison was the absolute best! She was responsive to every question we had before our arrival. The pictures do not do this gem any justice. Well stocked with EVERYTHING you’ll need for your stay. This part of the beach is quite compared to other areas and we LOVE it! Met some “locals” who live in this quite neighborhood and walked away from the weekend with new friends. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a beach front home for a relaxing get away. We will be back ❤️

Can't find a better location. Stayed 3 Beautiful days. Everything you need!

This was the best trip home! I'm Texan but moved a few years ago. Now home is vacation! Wanted to go gulf fishing so we chose this location.The listing was just as described! Walking Beach access directly next to house. On a dead end street! If you want privacy, well this is your spot! Everything i needed to cook for a group of friends. The BBQ Grill is small ( good for a few quick steaks) but we brought our own. THIS IS THE Ultimate Beach experience! Easy Check In!

Private Paradise

A wonderful property right along the path to the beach. The beds were comfortable and the patio was spacious with adjustable lounge chairs. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare meals. It was wonderful to have a relaxing place on the water like this. I plan on returning in the summer months .
