About this property

Davis Beach is a beautiful, 4 bedroom, 2 bath house located on the tip of Bolivar Peninsula, near the ferry and channel. You can sit in the living room or on the furnished deck and enjoy watching ships pass in the night. The quiet, private beach offers majestic sunrises and sunsets! This area is also a bird lover's paradise - you will not tire of seeing the many species of birds right in front of the house. This property sits next to the historic Fort Travis Park where you can enjoy a nature trail or explore the park.

You'll love the open great room, with a comfy living area, well-stocked kitchen, and a dining table that seats 10! For your convenience, there is an on-site washer and dryer, and complimentary high speed internet. The televisions are also equipped with satellite TV.
Three of the bedrooms have king sized beds and the 4th bedroom has both a king and a queen bed.

Opportunities to fish at the nearby North Jetties make this location great. There is also plenty of room to gather in the shade under the house and enjoy the company of family and friends, along with a charcoal grill to cook up the day's catch.

(Please be advised that this narrow section of the beach does not connect to the remainder of Crystal Beach. You must go to the first beach access road roughly a mile down HWY 87.)

Two small dogs (under 35 pounds) are allowed with a pet fee. All Swedes Real Estate vacation rentals are non-smoking properties. Swedes does not rent to guests under 25 years of age.

Location was perfect

The location was amazing - I love to watch the ships and it was an amazing location for that and there was always people out fishing while we were there so I'm sure that if you like to fish this would be an ideal spot. The house was very nice and has 4 bedrooms all with king beds, the kitchen was well appointed and the house was really cute with the beach decor. I was a little disappointed that there is not a gate at the top of the stairs - this would have been helpful as we were traveling with my dogs and some of the lights downstairs were not working. Overall it was a great stay.

the house was great

was met by two dying roaches in the hall. the comforters need cleaning. Need to trim a path to the beach! loved the back covered porch and the views. since we were a small group there were enough chairs. we spent most of our time on the porch. would advise a gate on the stairs. overall we loved the place after we removed the roaches. you only get one toilet paper roll per bathroom. had to go buy more. no dish soap or laundry soap.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great cabin. Great weather. Only problem (which is not Swedes fault at all) was Entergy. The power was shut off for hours 4 of the 7 days we were there. Hopefully they will fix these ongoing outages on the peninsula for good. Overall, a good week.

R Family Vacation at Davis

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed the house! I did have to run off a couple walking across the yard. The beachfront is behind a row of bamboo now so you can't see the beach, just the ocean. Fishermen and their families parked right in front of the house over the weekend. During the week we had it all to ourselves and enjoyed it! Wish list: something stable to walk over the dune and safe from bamboo (a mom and child fell corssing). A second refrigerator would be amazing since we had a full house and do not go to Galveston for food when we come.

House was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. The beach area in front of the house was littered with trash and various people camping out but that's not the fault of the property. Still one of the nicest houses we've rented.

Wonderful place to stay

This house is fantastic! We were 4 couples so the 4 king sized beds with bathrooms between them worked perfectly. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, utensils, etc. Charcoal grill is functional but needs replacing as the vents are rusted shut, but we made it work. The views are spectacular. Watching the ships line up to get into the port was a popular activity, whether from inside with the expansive windows or outside on the deck. There is a walkway to the beach in front of the house and the beach was clean and well maintained. There is a lot of privacy with the state park on one side and a vacant space on the other. The host was very responsive - we had to contact them when the kitchen sink backed up and they had a plumber there very quickly. This was a great place to stay!

One thumbs up

First the pros: The check in was quick & easy process. I like the fact you can check in at noon. The location of the property was on point. Right next to the park with beach accessibility. The beach house was very spacious and accommodating for my family. They provide mostly everything you could possibly need. They also provide plenty of games for family fun night. Cons: If you are renting out your beach house, why not provide linen and just include in the price. I'm not sure who prefers to bring their own linen and towels with them. Also, if you're allowing pets to stay at your location, please provide a deep cleaning to the beach house. We found pet hairs throughout on pillows & sofa, gross. I was somewhat apprehensive to seat down before wiping down everything. Also, the sofa sleeper needs to be replaced. Sofa bed filled with stains. Some of the beds also had stains on the bed covering. Toilet paper was low so we had to make a trip to the store. There is also a shortage when using the oven on the right front. Overall a great place to stay. I will definitely come back if these things are address.

Great girls’ weekend!

Great set up/ property. Gorgeous sunrises, dolphin & bird watching, etc. You can hike over the dune, through the grass - bring shoes to trample the grass. Kitchen is well supplied. Ice/water from fridge doesn’t work, so bring your own! Drip coffee maker, toaster, air fryer, blender. All sizes of mixing bowls, pots, pans, baking sheets, sharp knives. We rented the linens - worth the extra $$. Suggest you bring: dish soap, paper towels, TP, plastic wrap/foil hand soap, tall kitchen garbage bags. There were (less than) partial rolls of paper products and no extra garbage bags. Would have liked to have a combination/code lock, because extra stops (going 15-20 min past the property when getting in late is a bummer - yes, #1stworldproblems) All in all, a great weekend.
