Beautiful home and beach view property.

We enjoyed this beautiful, clean ocean view home celebrating our sons 25th birthday. It was the perfect cabin for cooking, entertaining and enjoying family and friends. The cabin was fully stocked with all the essentials and plus some! Brad was a wonderful and very attentive host. We will be back and highly recommend this place!

Family trip

We enjoyed our time together, but it rained almost the entire time. Getting to the beach over the ramps built over the dunes was not a good experience. There was standing water and the mosquitos were everywhere. This was not the property managers problem, but would be nice if the area made some fixes to that. The actual home was clean, nice and well stocked.

Best Vacation Beach Home

This beach home has everything you need to enjoy your time on the beach and is incredibly beautiful! The kitchen is fully furnished and has abundant space to prep and cook meals. There is plenty of space for seating in the living room and at the dinning table. You can see the waves while you relax on the sofa! The beds are super comfortable! The kids loved the spacious bunk beds and Big Joe's seating in the bedroom. The deck is spacious with a great view of the waves! The house is close to a nice walkway to the beach and to an entrance for golf carts. The grocery store, called The Big Store, is a minute away and has everything you need, including an Ace Hardware. The host is quick to respond to any questions you have and was very helpful during our stay. We will definitely stay here again!

We rented the house to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Everything was great and the house is very well stocked with anything you need. There was an issue with the keypad but I’m sure it has already been fixed. The owner is very responsive to any question that come up during your stay.

Best one yet!

So many things i liked about this rental. We rent several times a year on boliver. Usually we have to buy cookware, or just random things. This is the 1st time, a rental literally has everything needed and then some. Beds are extremely comfortable compared to so many, even the bunk beds. The home was clean, the host answered a question immediately. All in all 10 out of 10 recommend this host and home. We booked this trip last minute just to get away. And didnt have anything planned, so to come in and have everything needed was nice.

Great Family Friendly Beach House

The house is family friendly and has all the “stuff” you need to enjoy the beach. It has a beach view and beach access with a short 1 min walk! The neighborhood is close to the grocery store and several restaurants. The house is well equipped with great amenities, super comfy beds, and great streaming tvs in the living room and all the bedrooms! We will defiantly book this house again on our next trip to crystal beach!

Great house!

The house was great for our group. It’s pretty inside and very clean. Lots of extras like plenty of towels and extras in the kitchen. Very short walk to the beach or short ride in a rented golf cart. Crystal Beach is a wonderful family friendly Texas beach!

Perfect for our family of 5, spacious

We had a really great stay! The house was very clean overall. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and have our own space. The only thing we didn’t have that we kinda missed was a toaster but that wasn’t a deal breaker because we used the air fryer constantly and now want to purchase one of our own. The walk to the beach is only a couple minutes and we took the wagon that was provided which was very convenient. The walking bridge to the beach has stairs and not a ramp which made it tricky with the wagon but we made it work. Our kids loved having tvs in their rooms which made the stay extra fun for them. We also played the card game, Exploding Kittens, a dozen times and bought the game as soon as we got home. Plenty of things to keep the kids entertained but not too much. The outdoor table is in need of repair or replacement but worked perfectly for sifting through our shells. I left my medications at the house when we depated. Brad was prompt with helping me figure out what to do in that situation which I really appreciate. Brad was a great host because he just let us do our thing without interfering but was accessible when we needed him. We really enjoy Bolivar and can’t wait to go back!

Great response

Upon arrival, we unpacked and headed to the beach. When we came back to the house, the AC and refrigerator were not working properly. I contacted Brad and he immediately contacted someone to come out and take care of the problem. He was very nice and patient. He felt so bad and remedied everything in a timely manner. The home was very nice, very clean and only a couple of blocks to the beach. Loved that the home was equipped with everything you could possibly need. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Family Vacation

Our large family couldn’t have asked for a better property for our summer vacation. The property was clean and had plenty of space for 3-Adults and 4-Children under 9 years old. The listing photos matched the in-person experience. The home has easy access to a private neighborhood walk path leading directly to the beach. Brad was very communicative and extremely helpful. Our family is already talking about our next stay.

Great Property On The Beach

The house was exactly as described online and what our family was looking for. It came equipped with everything you’d need for a stay at the beach and then some with plenty of room for everyone in our family. Everything was so clean! Brad was such a great host and stayed in contact from the time we booked the reservation until we left. He was so easy to work with and we were able to CD check in a little early. Definitely the easiest check-in/out for any place we’ve ever stayed. We would most definitely stay here again!

Beach fix

Loved the house and floor plan all the bedrooms and bathrooms had privacy from the main part of the house. Great location to stores, upgraded beds, furniture and appliances, well stocked with paper products, soaps etc very child and dog friendly. Well thought of little extras, games and cleaning supply's, chairs for the beach even beach towels. Two things for consideration, number one: Beach access is over stairs up one side and down the other, hence could not use the wagon to transport items to the beach, drive on beach access is out to the main road and down a few streets. Number two: soooo many security cameras, the pictures don't show it but there is a third one upstairs at the door to get into the house,,,so we did not use the upstairs deck during our stay to drink morning coffee or enjoy the ocean view. The thought of our every conversation or move being recorded kept us inside. Also the one security camera pointing to the driveway loudly Chimes,,"Hello you are being video recorded" every time you walk to the trash or walk out to go the beach etc...it's still stuck in my head! The boards on both picnic tables are badly warped and need replaced,, not a deal breaker but just know before you go.
