Family Beach Time

Great house for our family vacation. Host was always available and very helpful. Location is nice. Recommend replacing weak rusted chains on swing; empty and clean refrigerator in garage; discard broken chairs; replace water hose nozzle. Remove glass top to exterminate table for ants. 2-ply TP and more bath towels per bathroom would be nice. TV in master room did not work and had no matching remote.

Fabulous time!

We loved staying here. Short walk to the beach, everything you’d need away from home. The host Kyle is so responsive with any questions. Close to a lot of businesses in case you need something. It was the most relaxing few days we had. Perfect set up for several couples and littles. We will be back soon!

Relaxing

We had a really good relaxing time. It was a comfortable walk to the beach from the house. The neighbor was very nice. I am a bigger guy and I found the stairs very solid and stable, that was a comfort. If I had to pick a con was the stairs at night need a little lighting. I am older 55+ and I carried a flash light to see going down at night with my dog. Just a little accent lite to see where one step ended and the next began is all it needs. I plan to book this house again.

Amazing Stay at an Amazing Place

The house and property were exactly as described in the listing. Spacious and decorated very simply, but beach house calm. Nice spaces both indoors and out to hang out and socialize. Check in was seamless. Property manager was very helpful and accommodating. TVs available both on main floor and upstairs in the living spaces. Great supply of bath and beach towels, as well as beach toys and chairs. Ramada Beach is a fun beach and the house is only a few blocks away - vehicles are allowed on the beach. Quiet neighborhood during the week, gets busier on the weekend. We rented a golf cart and that was perfect to get to the beach and drive up and down the beach, but we walked a few times, too. Also only a few driving minutes to The Big Store for groceries and other items. Excellent place for a family to have a fun and relaxing beach house vacation. We’d love to stay there again!

Our stay was pperfect!

This was my 2nd time to stay at this cabin. I stayed last year with a friend and let me just say that the cabin was perfect. We had 3 15 yo boys and they loved the upstairs. I will definitely stay at this cabin next year if it is available. The owner responded promptly to my questions.

Perfect beach weekend

This house had more than enough room for our weekend of 8 adults/4 kids. The upstairs bunk area is very spacious. The house had everything we needed kitchen wise, if you’re grilling i would bring some extra pans or serving ware in case. The host was very quick to response to all my messages. Short golf cart ride to the beach. VERY close to the Valero gas station and the big store which was very convenient. Great stay overall!

About the host

Hosted by Kyle Gerber

Host profile image
Hey! My name is Kyle and I currently live with my wife and two daughters in Austin, TX. I work as a physical therapist and enjoy managing our vacation rentals. I love the beach but also love the mountains, with a dream of skiing 40 days in a season.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I purchased this home as a fun family place to visit with friends and family. We both have big families and needed a place to fit everyone comfortably. We love that we can load up the little ones in the beach wagon and walk down to the beach. Our dog Josie loves the quick walk down to the sand as well!

What makes this property unique

You will be located in the private Ramada subdivision, this subdivision has private beach access which limits the high traffic that other areas in Crystal Beach will see.
