Peaceful getaway

This was our first time renting a beach cabin And let me tell you they have set the bar pretty high. Communication with the host was very fast when I had a questions to be answered.. When we first walked through the door we were very impressed with the spaciousness and cleanliness of it. The property is in a quiet neighborhood and it was nice just to let the kids play and enjoy themselves. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with extra appliances to make cooking easier.. I would definitely recommend staying here… Pretty top-notch

A perfect family and friends get away

We had such a great time staying at this house! Super close to the beach! We had kids ranging from 1 1/2 to 9 and it made naps and food times a breeze with the location. Having body wash and hair soap in dispensers on the wall in the shower wash genius. We’ve never had a rental with that! Overall- we’d definitely stay here again. Our friends want to make this a yearly tradition with our kids!

Great place to stay!

The property was very easy to find and had a short walk to the beach. Instructions for check in were clear and easy. The house was clean and came with a fully stocked kitchen. I will say that if you have a big group or a long stay to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags, as the supply was very limited. The only thing that docked on the cleanliness was because the outside fridge had stuff left in it from the previous renter that was missed by the cleaning staff. It caused an awful odor but once communicated to the host, was cleaned out for us.

Fun Weekend at Crystal Beach

We had a great stay at this house for the weekend. The house was well-appointed with everything we needed for the weekend. We had plenty of towels, dishes, and everything we needed in the kitchen. Each shower had a dipenser with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which was a great amenity. The walk to the beach was so close, and we enjoyed the firepit one night. I would highly recommend staying here, and I would definitely stay here again. The beds were all clean and very comfortable. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool table as well. It was a great stay and a great location!!

Every one of us enjoyed everything about this beautiful home! House had everything we needed from grilling burgers to enjoying our morning coffee and serene views of the beach! The beach was only a few steps away & on ground level the house was nicely decorated with a fire pit area, kids play area, & lots of space to enjoy the day /night!

About the host

Hosted by Blair Wilson

Host profile image
I live in the Houston area with my husband. We love escaping to the beach whenever we can to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. We hope our beach house is the perfect home away from home for you!

Why they chose this property

We love this house because it is located just seconds from the beach. You can sit on the deck and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets every day while listening to the sound of the ocean in the distance. It is located along a quieter portion of the beach, so it is the perfect escape for families or groups who want to enjoy all the beach has to offer without the large crowds.
