Beautiful rental

We enjoyed staying at this rental. Location was great and we enjoyed the balcony/outdoor areas. We encountered some issues but the owner responded quickly and his concierge solved/try to solve the issues as soon as possible. We will recommend this rental to family and friends that are going to visit the area.

This is a gorgeous property with a to die for outdoor living space and pool! The neighborhood was very quiet and private even on July 4th weekend. This is definitely the most fabulous property in this area. It's great for a family where the littles don't tolerate long hours at tha beach. Definitely recommend

Wonderful Vacation House

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights with 6 adults and a baby and we had a wonderful time. It was really nice to have a high chair and baby utensils available because that was less stuff we had to pack. It was so nice to sit out on the upper deck and look at the ocean. It took literally 2 minutes to drive to the beach. The owners of this property really thought of everything and we would love to return some time.

Clean beautiful home

We truly enjoyed our stay. The house and grounds are clean and well maintained. The outdoor space was amazing. We spent hours lounging by the pool and in thr hot tub. The power did go out, but a generator on property powered the house completely. The property manager was easy to reach when needed. Overall it was a great place to stay!

Spring break trip

We had a fantastic trip. Teens enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Girls set up their volleyball net in yard. Cabin was beautiful and the perfect size for our little crew. Also loved the quiet neighborhood and not a lot of people on the beach in front of cabin. Very safe area to let our young teens walk and explore without crazy traffic. Cabin manager was quick to answer our text messages with questions we had. She was extremely pleasant and helpful. ❤️Casey & Lacey

Best experience in crystal beach yet !

We have stayed in Crystal Beach four years in a row and this was the best year so far because of this property. It is clean it has everything that you need. The attention to detail is amazing. We loved the house and we loved the pool and it was close to the beach. Each room had nice beds with nice linens and also there were not very many mosquitoes on the property which is usually a problem in crystal beach. The house concierge was quick to respond and they were kind and courteous and gracious to our family. We will be back and I hope to book at this location again.

Perfect vacation getaway

The house and pool are well maintained and just as shown in the pictures. You can see the beach, and hear the waves from the porch....iykyk :) Well stocked for the perfect vacation stay, from the kitchen to the beach chairs and toys! We spent most of our time out in the pool. When not in the pool, it was just a short golf cart ride to the beach access. It was a great place for making memories! Any questions I had were answered promptly. Although we didn't have any issues while we were there, the property concierge was just a text away if we needed her. I would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to get away and make perfect beach memories!

Small family trip

I would love to be able to give you a five star review but I just can’t. The layout of the house is great, beds were comfy, utensils/pans were plenty, and location was good. Cleanliness is an issue; mildew in the master shower, pool toilet not being flushed/cleaned from previous renter, and some plates still dirty. Very strong smell in the house making it a bit uncomfortable to be indoors; had to buy a few candles to offset the smell. Floor in front of refrigerator/island very soft and dipped down; we wouldn’t let the kids walk across there because it was so soft. Soft spots on bathroom floor as well. Seems like there may have been water damage and needs to be repaired/replaced. Hot tub wouldn’t heat; had a service light on. Other than that; the house worked for what we needed it for.

Spring Break Oasis

While visiting family in Houston, we ventured all the way from Ohio to this beautiful oasis of a home which was in close proximity to the beach. This property was located in a quiet and clean neighborhood. From the 2nd floor you are able to see the ocean and enjoy coffee while kicking your feet up on the deck. Every opportunity we had, we sat outside on the deck that was well furnished. The pool area came equipped with blue booth speakers, a gas fireplace, and a warmed/lighted pool that set the perfect mood for entertainment. Everything in the house was functional and well maintained. The linens and towels smelled and felt clean. The kitchen had every single appliance and utensil for cooking, baking, grilling and even making smoothies or frozen cocktails which is what we did! :) The hosts made sure that their property manager was available 24 hours a day which was very helpful. Although we didn't need much, she was quick with responses and never hesitated to offer help. The master bedroom was spacious, and the bathroom was very modern. We rode the ferry to get to the peninsula and it was well worth it. The ferry ran 24/7 and we never had a problem going to and from Galveston. I would definitely recommend visiting this property again. We were not disappointed one bit.
