Oceanfront Gilchrist Getaway was GREAT

Cannot say enough good things about the house, the location and the owner. They checked in the morning after our first nite just to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. They were responsive (almost within minutes ) to a few random questions. I loved the location, a little quieter area of the beach. The house was just as presented in the description, we will be staying here again!!

Perfect getaway

House was secluded & right on the water. Host communicated well & responded quickly. Only issues was the WiFi went out after a storm & the cell signals were spotty. Host quickly communicated updates & service was restored with a few hours. We would definitely stay here again.

Good Communication

This was out 2nd visit to the Regal Seagull. Our trip was planned a week after Hurricane Beryl. We were able to easily communicate to find out if there was any damage to the property before making the trip. It's a nice, relaxing spot close to the water, not as much traffic on the beach, so its nice for the kids to play.

Always fabulous!

Zane and Tracy make Bolivar the best destination to relax, absorb the ocean breezes, the sunrises and sunsets, and endless beach walks. This property is perfectly located, well appointed, and so comfortable. This is the ONLY place we stay on Bolivar Peninsula…so looking forward to the next one…thanks, y’all!!

Great spot! Very quiet part of the beach!

The property is very nice, clean and was right on the beach. I loved that it’s far enough from the busy part of the beach so there was little no traffic back and forth from cars and atv’s. The property manager was very responsive and fast. Great place. Would stay again

Great Beach location

The view was amazing. The property was clean and decorated nicely. We enjoyed the proximity of the beach and the ease of communication with the host. There was not much open on the peninsula during our stay but perhaps there is more during the summer. Getting to the ferry to go to Galveston eas convenient.

Beautiful get together!

Loved it. 2nd visit here. Everything is nice, organized & clean.We had a wonderful time with family from Laredo, TX. Others came to visit during the day. Weather was chilly so we rented a golf cart to ride on beach so everyone could enjoy. Would love to stay again in late summer so we can enjoy water. ..Efren & Nereida

Beachfront Escape

This beautiful property is the perfect setting for much-needed respite. Residing just steps away from the ocean was tremendously rejuvenating and life-changing. We loved the secluded location that was away from the populated public beaches. We really fell in love with Texas, and can't wait to visit again!

We're from DFW, we love this house and visit anytime we can! Hosting is amazing, we treat people the way we want to be treated and strive to make your stay as fun and comfortable as possible.

Why they chose this property

Crystal Beach is much quieter and slower than the Galveston beach. We love it for the privacy

What makes this property unique

The Beach is literally a few steps from the house! The fence is great for pups and kids giving you that extra level of peace of mind. Just go outside and enjoy the view!
