50th birthday Getaway

This is our second time at the property and it will always be our place of choice when we want to go back. What drew my attention was the elevator option but even if we didn’t need that, the place combined with beachfront location will always draw me back.

Beach Break

My husband is disabled and we needed an elevator, and that is what originally drew us to this property. The house is roomy and well stocked with anything we needed. We utilized the grill in the garage, and even found a small step stool in a storage closet which helped getting my husband on and off our golf cart. We loved that the house faces the beach, and the house' large decks allowed enjoying the wind and waves. Every common area and bedroom window faced the beach. There is an empty lot next to the house along with beach access, which meant we never felt crowded. Crystal always responded in a timely manner, and was receptive to requests. We definitely want to do it again!

This has been the best rental we have ever stayed at! It is clean and has everything you could ever imagine needing. The property was clean, the neighborhood was quiet. The location was excellent! It was just perfect! The house itself is just gorgeous! You will not regret staying here! The only sad thing was that we had to leave......but we will stay here again for sure!

Graduation Celebration

A few days away to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from college. It was the perfect space for my family to spend time together. The accommodations were excellent and the space had every amenity needed for our stay. It was perfectly set right next to the beach which made for marvelous sunrises and scenery. Would definitely book again!

Amazing house AND host!!!!!

If you are looking for a house with an amazing view, easy access to the beach and enough room for a large group, this is it! Crystal was amazing and answered every question i had in a timely manner. I left some items behind and she went above and beyond to get them mailed to me. The elevator made it possible for my 81 year old Mom to be able to make the trip with us. Everything you need to enjoy your trip is already there, book now! You wont regret it. Thank you Crystal, you are an amazing host!!!!!

Beautiful Beach House & Location

This house is perfect for my five friends and me. The well stocked kitchen is amazing. Every bedroom is large with a bath. The beds are comfortable & there is a full size washer & dryer. The view is beautiful & right on the beach. There are a lot of deck furniture to enjoy. We also rented the elevator & used it for all our luggage and groceries. It was well worth it. We are planning another trip next year, & we voted to choose this beach house again.

Gorgeous House

We had a fantastic time staying here! The house is so gorgeous and spotless. There was a ton of games to play with in the house and tons of beach toys too!. The furniture was exactly what we needed for my 84 year old Mother to sleep in, She does not like to lay all the way down in a bed and the recliner chairs worked perfect for her. Everything was so nice and beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful time!

This property is amazing. The location on the beach is the best part. The walk over to the beach is right there at the back deck. The house is beautiful and so well thought out. The Deck access from all of the bedrooms was a plus. We couldn’t have asked for any better. Any question or concern was immediately answered and put to rest. Great property and even better Hosts!

Excellent Property with Spectacular Oceanfront views.

Nice big house with the best ocean view from every room. Huge main deck and large secondary deck. Elevator reaches both floors, hard to come by! Each bedroom gets its own bathroom and an extra one by the side entry door. Large kitchen and living room. Nice plus… a stand alone ice maker. All guests said their bedroom/bathroom was really good. Would stay here again.

Perfect Location

This house and host are amazing! We stayed for 5 days in January for a birthday celebration. The house is in a quiet place and there is the Big Store not far away if one would need anything. Upon arrival Mother Nature was not playing nice and ended up taking out the main refrigerator. The host was super responsive and had someone out right away the next morning. Thankfully we had backups to move everything to. The house was well stocked with everything that was needed. I HIGHLY recommend this property if you're looking for a peaceful beachfront getaway. We can't wait to come back!

Best beach trip ever

From the time we got to the house to the time we left, we couldn’t stop obsessing over the house! Not just how clean and well kept and well stocked it was, but the location and the views were absolutely breath taking! Communication with Crystal was seamless and she was fantastic at checking in with us and making sure we had everything we needed! We’ve been on several beach trips and have always stayed in condos, but after this trip we ALL preferred this beach house and location to any condo we’ve stayed at! If I could give it more than 5-stars, I would. I definitely recommend booking for any family getaway!

Can't wait until next time

This beautiful house is in a great location with easy access to the beach. The layout of the house really worked well for our family, ages ranging from 5 months to 85 years old. The living area was so spacious accommodated our family of nine with plenty of room for a pallet on the floor for our granddaughter. We loved the fact that we all had our own seperate bathrooms. The elevator really came in handy. The extra bonus, we were right across the highway from the Big Store. We definitely look forward to staying in this house again. The host was so very accommodating . She kept us informed on all aspects of our rental.

Spectacular home on gorgeous stretch of the beach

We have been vacationing in Galveston for the New Year since 2012 and always choose a place on the beach. We selected this property because of its superior layout where all four bedrooms and the living area had unobstructed beach views. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans and basics. The bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms were wonderful. Arriving in a warm late December that cooled off in early January, we effortlessly moved from air conditioning to igniting the propane-fueled fireplace. We suffered a power outage due to a tornado touching down north of us but the host was great keeping us apprised of efforts to restore electricity. The only and I mean ONLY drawback to the property was the amount of traffic on the beach, Maybe because it was the New Year's holiday but the amount of people speeding back and forth on Crystal Beach was shocking. It was tolerable with the golf carts but then there were the trucks, SUVs, sedans and ATVs driving as if they were on the highway. Then there were people who parked right in front of the unit blocking the view, and those who even set bonfires there on the beach. Fortunately, the activity dropped off considerably after New Year's Day. Granted, these are not issues that the host has any control over, but if these issues are of concern to you be aware. All-in-all this was one of the best properties we have ever rented in the Galveston area.

Perfect location, short walk to beach! Wish we could of stayed longer. View was amazing... beautiful sunrises from every room. Kid friendly. Quick response from management, few issues (broken coffee pot, couldn't get into tv) were quickly resolved. Easy access to Galveston via the vehicle ferry. Small town feel to the beach, not overly crowded. Great family fun! The shelling was plentiful! Loved that each room had en suite bathrooms!

Great property!

A 5 star property, clean and fully stocked with all your needs by the owners. Fantastic view, and great layout. Very much enjoyed it. A couple of small hiccups: couldn’t get the minkaAire remotes to work, master ceiling fan/light not working, elevator kept locking on bottom floor. But it would be nit picking to give this property anything but a 5! Would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Crystal K

Host profile image
Thank you for considering our home for your upcoming adventure! We are an adventurous family that loves to travel and we also love to host other travelers! We are not on site but are available via the platform 8am-6pm MST or anytime for emergencies, and we have a great local who team who is always ready to help as well!

Why they chose this property

Our home is one of few homes with ocean views from all of the bedrooms! All bedrooms also have their own bath! So no fighting over the best room, because they are all top notch! We are the closest beachfront home to the Big Store! As the locals say, if the Big Store doesn't have it, you don't need it! Our home is centrally located with a beach walkover only separated from our home by an empty lot. Our area of the beach is one of the quieter areas with less traffic.
