Simply wonderful - highly recommend

An absolutely wonderful stay. This house is better than advertised. It is well maintained and clean, modern interior and amenities. Very short walk to the beach, near everything you need on the peninsula and a fun ferry ride to Galveston if you want to go there for a day. The house is perfect for our family of 5. We all love it because it is comfortable and cozy, but not so cozy that it feels like you’re on top of each other. The host, Tammy, is wonderful as well - very easy to get in touch with, very responsive, and goes out of her way to make sure you’re taken care of. Thank you for everything, Tammy!I’d give it 6 stars if I could. This is our second time to stay here and there will be a third in the future.

Relaxing Weekend with friends and family.

I recently stayed at this charming beach cabin and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach and conveniently close to stores. The kitchen is spacious, well-designed, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The master bedroom bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. One of my favorite parts was relaxing on the front deck, enjoying the soothing breeze. Overall, this cabin offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Highly recommended!

Great hospitality from host

The house was beautiful and clean and everything we hoped for when we checked in, quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach! The beach was very beautiful as well! Unfortunately hurricane Beryl had a major change in direction after we checked in following a long drive from the Midwest and instead of landing in Mexico as predicted, it landed in Galveston, we were caught on the edge of it. We lost power for several days after the storm had passed but had the beach and the covered patio to stay cool. The host was so thoughtful and communicative throughout this entire time, checking on us to make sure we were ok, keeping us updated on messages from the power company and any support available throughout the community. She was also very flexible offering us to leave at any point we felt uncomfortable while being willing to refund for dates we didn’t use. We chose to stay for several days and still thoroughly enjoyed the house, thankful for the gas stove and the battery powered lanterns in the home. With the power outage the evenings were rough without air conditioning but prior to the power outage we had no complaints (and completely understand the power outage was at no fault to our host!). After we left early, the host still gave us a generous refund of a large portion of our rental fees as she felt bad our vacation didn’t go as intended. We were so appreciative of her care, concern and generosity which helped a difficult situation not feel so bad. Truly a wonderful host!

Family of 7 Vacay

Clean and fully stocked home from dishes, cookware, towels, linens, blankets to beach towels. Super cute and comfy! Great location! Plenty of parking space for truck and trailer! Tammy, the owner is very quick and responsive! My biggest shock is that pets are allowed and we did not find one dog hair. The beds and couch was super comfy. Everything in the house worked form the fridge to washer/dryer. We definitely will be hoping this place is available for future stays.

Bolivar beach stay

This was such a great stay for our family (7 if us total)- we were only there for 2 nights but it was great. Very roomy and comfortable seating for all 7 of us to spend time together. Excellent location and really close to the beach. Wish there was a gas grill but there was a great neighbor who was at his home for the weekend as well and let us borrow his. Would definitely visit again!!

Cute house close to the beach

This house was very comfortable. The owner has it stocked with everything you’d need for your stay. It’s close enough to the beach to walk, but we chose to rent a golf cart since you can drive on the beach. We used it to tote all our beach gear and drive to the dollar store, to get ice cream and sno cones and to the donut store at the end of the street. It was a relaxing long weekend. The beach is much less crowded and quieter during the week but even on the weekend we were able to find a spot with plenty of room to spare. The outdoor shower was very convenient to wash off all the sand from the beach. The kids loved all the DVDs and games available in the house. Be sure to bring bug spray because mosquitoes on the coast are plentiful! The owner was very receptive and communicated well throughout our stay.

Family beach vacay

We loved our stay at Crystal beach. This house was very nice, clean and spacious. We had everything that we needed to relax, cook and enjoy our family time together. It had all the needed kitchen supplies. The house is in a quite neighborhood and is just a short walk to the beach. We brought our two dogs along, too. The house has a gated top covered deck which was perfect for relaxing on and letting them play. We also loved the charcoal grill and outdoor shower to wash off after returning from the beach. Beach towel were provided as well so that was a added benefit. The host Tammy was so nice and helpful to us. Definitely recommend this beach house and we hope to visit again in the future.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect - wonderfully decorated, well kept and clean. The property owner (Tammy) was incredibly quick to respond to any question we had and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Close walk to the beach, and not far from Galveston island if you want to take the ferry over. Wonderful time, great stay, and lifelong memories.
