Warm sand and surf are just a short walk from charming Salty Seahorse Studio, complete with all the comforts of home and amazing ocean breezes from the expansive deck. After a fun day at the beach, rinse in the outdoor shower, relax in a hammock, watch tv or play a friendly game of darts or cornhole. Boasting a full gourmet kitchen and ideally located in the heart of Crystal Beach, the Salty Seahorse Studio is the perfect home base for your get-away to the sunny Texas Coast!

Emerald Beach 2 is a quiet, colorful, beach-access neighborhood, minutes from the Big Store and lots wonderful restaurants.

Just What We Needed

We are in the midst of wedding planning. We wanted to explore Crystal Beach as an option, but we also needed a weekend away. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, the comfortable space, and the board games. Our host was attentive to the few questions we had, and the location was great.

Salty Seahorse

We stayed here as our family vacation spot and enjoyed it so much! The house is conveniently located to the beach, big store,dollar general and many other stores. On arrival to the house we were able to tell it had just been cleaned well and was cool and comfortable. We enjoyed the books and movies provided. We would recommend this house especially to a small family wanting a beach getaway!!!

Great stay!

It was our first time to the Texas coast and we were pleased with the house. I think it would be the perfect spot if it had a hot tub. (just my opinion) Everything was as pictured and she even gave us a little extra time to check out because of a severe thunderstorm. Tia Juanitas restaurant was our favorite in the location, HIGHLY recommend!! Great house and lots of amenities for beach like chairs, canopy, fishing rods etc. If we do come back to the area we would stay here again. Thank you Jessica!

Great little house!

Great little house for small family! We highly enjoyed our time but one thing I do want to point out for work from home visitors that plan on working during your stay. Cell service and Wi-Fi was awful, so bad the cable was having a hard time and the trying to work on your phone much less on a tablet was not successful. We absolutely had a blast and loved our time at the house, it is perfect for a family of four! Would highly recommend the owners of the property look into a wifi extender or note this is your listing for future guest.
