Gorgeous welcoming home in a great location, close to everything you will need.

We had a wonderful time in this gorgeous home. Everyone had their space and it was immaculate. Close to everything you would need. If I could give them 10 star reviews I would. If you like oceanfront views, quietness, relaxing on the decks with comfortable. Outdoor furniture, this is your place. We're so glad we stayed at The Queen.

Incredible 4th of July!!!

Thanks for hosting our multi-family getaway!! The property is ideally located with access to the beach and a great patio for enjoying the unobstructed view. Anna was very responsive and the home is perfect for friends and families looking to get away. In addition, easy access into Galveston, local restaurants/shops and a full grocery store within minutes of the house. We especially enjoyed the frozen drinks drive thru and donut shop at the end of the road. For our first visit to Galveston, could not have asked for a better host. We'll be back!!

Beautiful Home with a view!

We have rented several homes in the last couple of years and this home by far was one of the top two. It was a great place to spend my 41st birthday with my family. It was well supplied with everything you could need at a home away from home. The pictures were accurate to the actuality. The view was beautiful. The hostess was responsive. We would highly recommend it to friends and family. And we will definitely return. We wouldn’t mind a hot tub next time around :)

The best house for the best trip!

We were so excited about this house and this trip. When we arrived, everything was just wonderful. You could hear, "I love this house the most," "best house we've ever stayed in," as everyone found their own rooms. It was the perfect size for us and the location just up from the beach worked out great. We enjoyed watching the fireworks on the beach and being close to restaurants and shops. I would book another summer trip in this house, and for sure with this host. :))

Family Getaway

My family and I loved The Queen...from the moment we walked in, every person loved their time at this beautiful property. Anna was prompt with communication and helpful with recommendations around the peninsula. The view from the deck is perfect day and night; while it is only a super short walk to the beach we rented golf carts to add to the family fun and transporting chairs/tents/etc. Plenty of pantry space allowed us to prepare and cook meals all week in the spacious kitchen. Wine fridge on the main floor and beverage fridge upstairs was great to prevent taking up space in the main fridge. Plenty of dining space for the whole family. The ladies on our trip ask that I give major kudos to the water heater....even with our heavy usage, hot water was never an issue. :)

Great Location

The home was very spacious for our family of 9. We had plenty of room to spread out. The AC works great even in the sweltering Texas heat. The home is within walking distance from the beach which we loved. We were able to cook most of our meals at home end there was plenty of seating inside and on the patio to all sit together. Side note: when I arrived home I realized I had forgotten a few things and Anna was kind enough to have her cleaners mail me my items I has left behind which was very kind of her. Anna was very responsive when we were looking for a few things around the house which was very helpful. We would recommend this home for the convenient location and the roominess of the home. We had a great time during our first visit to Crystal Beach! We will definitely be back.

Shhh…I probably shouldn’t tell you…

…this, but our 5-night stay @ The Queen on Crystal Beach was absolutely fantastic! The property is located on the second row, however because there’s no house directly in front of The Queen, it’s like being on the first row. The view of the gulf from the house is absolutely Mesmerizing & the sound of the waves crashing is soothing to the soul. It’s a *very* short walk to the sand. The details of this home were just as pictured. There were a couple happy little surprises – – the outstanding walk-in shower in the primary bedroom, the coziness of the living room and that fabulous, extra- wide deck with comfortable furniture for lounging & a bar-height table n chairs for enjoying a meal or a activity. We had 1 very minor issue, we called and it was resolved within the hour. Communication was excellent, personable and immediate. Taylor, Whitney, Anna are all-stars! We especially appreciated the very generous allocation of towels. One member of our party is very particular about white towels only and this person was *very* pleased. We never know what to expect with beds in a STR. One member of our party has some back issues, so we try to be very flexible to accommodate their comfort. The beds here run towards the softer side and were comfortable for everyone else. The Queen is located near other similar homes—it was peaceful & quiet, which was our desire. We are already planning to return. If you visit, don’t forget your Binoculars for watching passing ships. 🛳️

Family Christmas

Our stay at The Queen was wonderful. We are from the upper midwest with family in the Houston area and thought this would be a great location to host our family Christmas get together, and it was. Our group consisted of 3 families that included 4 teenagers. The house was perfect for this with three separate bedrooms and the bunk room with 4 bunks, giving everyone their own space. The bunks are even separated in the middle so the teens got a little privacy too. The master suite was amazing. A huge walk in shower and closet and all the beds were so comfortable. With the cooler weather (highs in the mid 60s), we did spend more time in the house, just hanging with family. The open living room/dining room/kitchen was perfect for this and our group of 10. Some would watch a movie on the big screen, others would play games at the table while someone was cooking and everyone was still in the same room. The only thing that could be improved is having more and better pots and pans. It was tough cooking for our group with what was there. The deck was great for sitting on in the mornings watching the sun rise or just hanging out in the evening. The deck furniture was very comfortable and there was plenty of seating for everyone. With the open lot in front of the house, the view is great. The beach is just a short walk away (less than a block) but the mosquitos were a little pesky on the walk there due to the taller grass near the sand dunes so pack some bug spray.

All Texas Coast homes are raised. Guests must be able to climb stairs.
All coastal regions have the chance for weather disturbances. It is suggested to use a 3rd party rental insurance for your stay. We suggest Rental Guardian. They offer rates from 7-10% of booking cost in order to ensure that you are covered in the event that there are sudden weather changes.
