Awesome stay!

Purple Surf was the perfect home for my family and I. Accommodating everyone’s needs and just steps away from the beach. I would definitely book again and encourage others to do so as well. Super easy check in process and the host was very helpful and responsive.

Wonderful Father’s Day weekend!

We had such a great time! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Location is perfect for our time on the beach. We enjoyed all the wonderful amenities. Beds were comfortable and the A/C was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you again to the owner Carrie for being so accommodating and nice. Our family very much enjoyed our stay and we hope to come back again next year!

Great location if you don’t mind the traffic

Beautiful property, great access to the beach. This is located right off the main street. You can hear the traffic at all hours day and night. The enclosed yard is a bonus for small children and pets. Owner is responsive and friendly. Would stay here again.

Perfect family getaway

The owners had installed a firepit the week before we arrived. Such a great surprise and perfect for some chilly evenings we spent during our Thanksgiving trip. The beach access was super convenient and the views were great. This is no way felt like at 4th-row beach house. Loved the fenced in back yard for our pup, and the way the fence encompassed the stair landing was very well though out. Three king bedrooms made all the adults in our group feel comfortable. The house overall was very well laid-out and well appointed.

Life is Good and Times Like This Make It Even Better

Doesn't get any better than this! I had such a wonderful and relaxing time at Purple Surf on Crystal Beach! Just a hop skip and a jump away from Houston, no messing around with 45 South, just cruise down I-10 east until you reach Winnie and consider yourself there! My special needs daughter and I met up with my middle daughter, son-in-law and grandkids at this great get away! Very much a family friendly beach, quiet, and stress free. My grandkids loved it - played in the sand and had a blast riding the waves😊 Better yet, Purple Surf has a fenced in back yard with grass and a swing set, the kids loved it, of course, and I was amazed the outdoor shower had HOT and cold water! Not sure which feature I liked best, the close proximity to the beach for my special needs daughter and me or sitting on the porch relaxing with a glass of wine enjoying a breathtaking view. I’ll let you decide!

Purple Beach House

Very nice home and plenty of room for any kind of activity that you want to do. We loved walking on the beach that was only about a minute away from the front door! Dinner at Stingaree is a MUST!

Family reunion and surprise birthday party

This was a great property. Plenty of room and set up well to host a large surprise birthday party for my mom. The only thing that would make this a better property would be to add a cargo lift to get things up and down for the stay. But we knew at the outset that it was a beach house and that it didn't have a cargo lift, so nothing negative on the owners.

Beautiful home!!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. We were a group of 2 families (4 adults, 6 kids) and the house fit us perfectly. Would probably could have even had another family of 4/5 and still have been very comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make all meals in. The upstairs game room was such a hit for the kids and they would have been happy playing up there all day. Upstairs is a loft, but there are doors than can be closed so it does feel private and like another bedroom. The beach is literally steps away and we even let the older kids go down by themselves since we could see them from the deck of the house. We’d love to come back to this house again!

About the host

Hosted by Carrie Lupton

Host profile image
Thanks for considering our home! A little about us- my family and I (my husband and our 5 kids) love being outdoors and exploring. Originally from Texas, we've lived in NY, WI, CO, and now back to Texas and thoroughly enjoy seeing what each state has to offer. We have learned that we have a deep admiration for the mountains and the beach. Our home in Crystal Beach is the quiet and peaceful beach retreat you’re seeking. We hope you choose our home as your place to stay, but if not, we hope you have a wonderful time during your travels and with the ones you love.

Feel free to check out our other homes in the cozy Smoky Mountains and on the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, AL!
