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

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 .

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.

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.

Nice property but it is located around a lot of grass. So if there is any rain at all and water standing watch out for the mosquitoes! They were terrible.

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!

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!

Front row water view on the deck!
Wow, we spent countless hours just lounging on the deck taking in the gulf views. The pictures in the ad don't do it justice. The deck is partially covered so you can switch from sun to shade as you please. The quiet house is very well stocked for a large group from the kitchen to all the beach stuff (towels, boogie boards). Check-in/out was simple. We will be back. Thank you!

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.

Hi! We're the McGrath family! After 28 years of traveling around the world with the military, we settled down in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We're an active family, always on the prowl for a new adventure!

Why they chose this property

We found this wonderful getaway in 2006, after moving to Louisianna from Germany. We fell in love with the sleepy beach breeze and the calm pace of life of Crystal Beach. This has become our home away from home, especially as all of the daughters are growing up and leaving the nest.

What makes this property unique

The house is wonderful because it is simple, cozy, and has an unobstructed view of the beach.
