About this property

Beachfront! 5 Bdrm/5 Bath! Beautiful Views! Lots of Windows! Game room Upstairs!

Relax with the whole family in this peaceful 5 bedroom 4 1/2 bath home right on the beach.
Beautiful views on the deck and from inside this very open light filled home with tons of windows. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable with everything you need. Beds made. Towels provided. Well stocked kitchen for 16 with even 2 crockpots. Game room upstairs with Foosball table, arcade game and large TV. Very open living, dining, and kitchen area that is great for hanging out with family or friends while cooking together, watching a movie or the big game, or playing games after a long day at the beach. Grill, picnic table, and outdoor showers on the patio downstairs. And just in case the electricity goes out, the home is equipped with a full house generator to ensure that power outages won't disrupt your vacation. All this, directly on the beach!

There’s so much to do in Crystal Beach! Crabbing, surf fishing, gulf fishing, bay fishing, , making a sand castle, flying a kite, playing beach games, jumping the waves, collecting shells, collecting sea glass, collecting shark teeth, bird watching, cooking out, enjoying the sunsets, enjoying the sunrise, soaking up the sun, walking on the beach, riding a golf cart on the beach, attending concerts on the beach, taking the ferry into Galveston and feeding the seagulls and seeing the dolphins, eating great seafood, reading a great book, just relaxing and visiting with friends and family!
Come enjoy it all at Summer Wind!

Great getaway with lots of space!

Very comfortable stay and loved the unobstructed waterfront view from the balcony! It was also great that almost every bedroom had their own restroom (3 of the bedrooms did) and then plenty of space for adults and kids/teens. The arcade game didn’t work and there was a leak in one of the half baths but it didn’t impede our stay and the owner communicated with us quickly. Overall, great place and we were very comfortable there for a few days!

Quiet before Cruise

This beautiful beach house was perfect for our 2-day stayover prior to our Mexico cruise. Plenty of space for the kids (8,9,10,14) and 6 grown-ups to spread out and SO many great shells on the beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Galveston? Nah, Crystal Beach

Great place for a quieter stay on the beach. Fabulous home with everything you need. Crystal Beach isn’t the happening place to be, and that’s just perfect for those who want a nice relaxing beach vacation.

Beautiful house with perfect location

This property was perfect. We were booked the day after Hurricane Beryl came through but it was still a great vacation. While the whole island was without power, the house had a generator which ran for a few days until the power came back on. The host was extremely responsive to our concerns about the condition of the island post hurricane. The beaches were beautiful while we were there and the house provided exquisite views. We caught several fish every day right in the surf. We definitely plan on returning to this house.

Wonderful Beach House!

We had a wonderful stay at this well appointed beach house. We stay at Crystal Beach every summer and this house has just become our favorite spot. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the house worked great for our family, and the location and ease to get to the beach can’t be beat! We’ll be back!

Awesome Labor Day Weekend

I decided to spend my 40th with friends and family at the beach and found this beautiful location on VRBO. Communication was great with owner, location was perfect to beach / beach access, view was gorgeous, and house was stunning and well taken care of. Couldn’t have asked for a better 40th and will definitely book here again.

One of the best

When I booked this property I did so because of the way the rooms were set up to be able to have the adults downstairs and the teens up. What a well laid out property! First VRBO that I have been to that actually had things stocked! We didn't want for anything! I highly recommend this property, it was absolutely beautiful!

Christmas Getaway

We came down day after Christmas through New Years day. The Property was as if it was new. We have stayed at beach houses for many years and this property was the most equipped property yet. Kitchen was stocked with everything minus food. Tv in almost every room. 4 1/2 baths were all put to good use. Games a plenty. Perfect house with a perfect view. I would maybe just add a few sand toys. This house will be everything you hope for.

Fabulous Property!

Everything about this home was great. The beds were made up and ready to go, and the mattresses were all nice and comfy. There were plenty of bug plush towels, along with a well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The owners have put a lot of thought into the things that make this the perfect vacation spot for their guests. We loved the beach front view. Very relaxing.

About the host

Hosted by Eve C Albin

Host profile image
We have been married almost 30 years and have 4 children, 24, 22, 20 and 15. We are from Shreveport, but my husband John grew up in Texas and is Texan through and through! Crystal Beach was the perfect place for us to buy a vacation property...great fishing for John, great beach and views for me, and great restaurants in Crystal Beach and Galveston for both of us. Our children are always excited to go to the beach and it's easy to get our older children to take time out of their schedule to meet us there and even bring a few friends. I hope you enjoy Summer Wind as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

It has a beautiful view! And is on a quieter part of the beach. There is always room on the beach in front of the house. You are right on the beach and have direct access; however, you have a big enough yard to block any beach noise.

What makes this property unique

The view is spectacular! Also, the layout is great for trips with multiple families or trips with extended family. Makes a trip with groups of families very comfortable. There are essentially 3 master bedrooms - bedrooms with their own private bath. And then there are 2 bedrooms with 4 beds each (2 sets of bunks each) for the kids. There's 2 living areas - 1 for the kids upstairs and 1 for the adults and family downstairs. The kitchen is open to the family room allowing a great space for cooking, watching a movie, playing games and just all hanging out together after a day at the beach.
