Perfection on a Penninsula

Everything was exactly how it showed on the listing and helped to create an incredible vacation for my family. Great location in the third row of houses from the beach (2 minute walk), with a good view of the ocean from the house. The kids loved the arcade games and oversized connect 4 game! Kids were never bored. House was clean and fully equipped. Location on the Bolivar Penninsula is close enough to basic supply stores, but far enough from the overcrowding of Galveston where you can take a nice ferry trip to and from the hustle and bustle. Overall, an excellent house we would choose over and over!

Christmas

We celebrated Christmas away for the city and although most of the restaurants were closed we came prepared and made it our home and enjoyed the accommodations as our own without a feel of needing something. we had a Merry Christmas

Absolutely lovely

I was a little nervous about taking 10 kids on vacation by myself, but staying here made it so easy, comfortable, and fun! The walk to the beach was literally 5 minutes; if I had had to drive each time, I don't know that we would have gone near as often! The house was clean, tastefully decorated, and comfortable - I was so sad to leave the bed and pillows! The coffee bar was a great hit with my teens, and the kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook a full meal in. Neysa and Billy thought of everything, right down to laundry detergent. I had 10 kids with me, 17 down to 9 months, and there was nothing extra we needed. There were tons of beach toys for the kids to take every day, a beach wagon to get it all there, beach towels, and even aloe for those of us who forgot to reapply sunblock! Neysa and Billy were also great with communication - prompt and kind. Thanks for a great stay! We hope we can make it back sometime!

Great house

This house was a great house for a family trip to Crystal Beach. The house is well thought out and included plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses, games, etc. We like to cook at home and certainly had everything we needed to do so. The owners were ready to communicate with. The cleaners were still cleaning when we arrived, but the owners offered us a late check out for the mix up. The luggage lift was so nice to have. We were glad we didn't have to carry everything up and down the stairs. It made getting our bags and groceries upstairs so much easier. Would recommend!

The wheeler family vacay!

The beach house was beautiful, and the fenced in yard was a huge plus with our two young kids! The property was so clean and had everything you would need to have a perfect stay. The coffee bar was a huge hit with our family and the lift made bringing luggage and groceries to the house so easy! The only issue we had was absolutely nothing to do with the house itself, but that I didn’t pay attention to the beach access for a ATV side by side.. we ended up having to trailer to the beach but it all turned out great! We absolutely loved Salt and light beach house and it was so perfect for our family vacation, so so beautiful! Thank you for letting our family have a great time making memories!!

About the host

Hosted by Neysa and Billy Crosby

Host profile image
Hello, we are Neysa and Billy. We’ve been married for 25 years and have 3 wonderful kids who keep us busy. We met while attending Sam Houston and we got engaged while visiting Galveston Island.

We love soaking in God’s creation whenever we get the chance and we are truly honored to have the opportunity to share that with you.

Why they chose this property

We love this quite laid back neighborhood, with large lots, and a great view of the ocean. The neighborhood has private walking and golf cart bridges to access the beach.

What makes this property unique

Our home in Crystal Beach is in a quiet neighborhood with a spacious lot and fenced in yard. We love soaking in the ocean view while sitting on the deck or balcony and listening to the waves crash against the shore while enjoying the ocean breeze.
