Sweet 16

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We went for a Sweet 16. Relatives flew in to celebrate. Wish the weather would’ve been better but that not control-able. It was still an amazing get away. We ran out of toilet paper the last night we were there and couldn’t find any. No biggie. I generally bring my own supply but forgot this time while packing. Still a 5-Star stay. Hope to rent again in July 2025

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property photos do NOT do this house justice!! Absolutely stunning home with tons of amenities. So easy to get to the beach and to get to needed places on the peninsula. We definitely plan on booking this house again! Really close to the Margaritaville resort, the big store, and Stingaree’s! Was a hop, skip, and jump to the Nauti Beaver Hut! So much about this home was perfect! Well-maintained, thoughtful design, and experience enhancing features!! 10/10 would recommend!

Crystal Beach on the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental property had some issues. The locked door in the kitchen for staff was unlocked and of course someone in our group locked belongings inside it, so we had to call maintenance. Also the cappuccino machine, dish washer, and also washer didn't work properly. Crystal Beach was great, the property had some issues that needed to be addressed.

Wonderful time with friends and family. Perfect location. Great house!

We really enjoyed our trip. The arcade games were a huge hit for all ages. Location is spot on. On the beach and beach access so you can easily walk over or drive over. The porch is very accommodating with chairs to sit or sun! The views from inside are amazing (although why would you want to be inside?) plenty of dining seating for the whole family. Bedrooms are very nice and I did mention to the office they should wash, or at least provide mattress covers but not a big deal, just a thought for someone a little picky that might complain. We paid for the linens and I think I prefer that just so we know they are clean from the start. And I have to say, they are folded and wrapped and labeled. Excellent! The Starbucks coffee machine would have been a big bonus however it went on the fitz but no worries there was a backup coffee pot. I feel sure they will have that back up and running. Ladies in the office are super nice, you can’t go wrong renting with Swedes! Down stairs shower was great… lots of seating down there too … but keep that bug spray handy … those monster mosquitos will tote you away or run you upstairs! Don’t forget to hit stingree’s for some good seafood and watch the boats go in and out on the bay. We will most certainly be back and unless the size of our group changes …this will be next years spot too! Oh, PS … the beach was amazing, super clean, we had perfect weather so no bugs down there, and lots of police presence to keep down the crazies! Thanks Swedes and crystal beach for another year of awesome memories!

Awesome place and location!

You are right on the beach. We were worried about the traffic going past since you are on the road but it really isn’t bad at all and never effected us. Downstairs area has a great set up for entertaining. Upstairs worked perfectly bedroom wise as it sleeps a lot. Kitchen was VERY well stocked. Honestly one of the best houses we have stayed at and we do a Galveston trip every year. Will definitely be renting this one again!

Wonderful

The place was amazing. We had my 16 year old daughters birthday party here and they loved every minute of it. The only complaint is that because of the location and people not wanting to pay to be on the beach, we had a few cars parked in front of the house and our cars. Also the water downstairs in the out door shower didn't have water pressure. The house was very clean, open layout, all the appliances, rooms, patio, upstairs and downstairs was amazing. I would stay in the home a hundred times over. Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home. Loved it.
