With access to a private boat ramp, dock, and oversized lot right next to the home, those looking for time on the water and lots of outdoor space will love this elevated dog- and family-friendly home in Crystal Beach. Sitting right on the canal, you’ll enjoy easy access to Galveston Bay, and you’re about a mile from the beach. The kids and dog will love the spacious back yard, and you’ll love sipping coffee in the backyard swing. Both the patio under the house and the main-floor deck are perfect for evening cocktails and a dinnertime cookout on the gas grill.

Inside, you’ll find an open, beach-themed space that will put you in vacation mode in no time. The full kitchen features all the appliances, a wine fridge, and a lovely blue backsplash, reminiscent of the sea. The gang can dine together at the adjacent table, and spend the evening snuggled up on the sofa, watching TV. Can’t agree on what to watch? No problem – there’s another TV and couch in one of the bedrooms. Extra perks of this home include a washer/dryer, free WiFi, and central AC.

Nice getaway

Had a great time with this rental. Loved having the boat ramp on the property. Put a crab trap out and had crap in the trap within 45 minutes. The bed in the master was wonderful. Had a great time and made great memories. Thank.

Made good memories

The house was very pretty and clean. The furnishings were nice. The luggage elevator was a definite plus. It was just a short drive to the beach. We didn’t spend much time in town in Crystal Beach because we had business in Galveston. I definitely plan on coming back and spending more time and enjoying the area longer.

Fishing

The owner should know that the garbage in secondary bathroom was not emptied, a dirty kitchen towel was on counter in kitchen, an orange juice container was left on back steps, and there are very loose boards going into front door. The bedspread in secondary bedroom had yellow stain and when i took sheets off the mattress cover had blood specs. Other than usual ll7ved in home, it was still ok. Location great. Liked canal in back and boat went in very nice.when on porch.

Quiet house to relax

This was a great place to stay with our dogs. The yard to the side offered a safe place for them to run around. We weren’t bothered by any late night fireworks and had everything we needed. And we were able to launch boat and keep it in the water with plenty of room left for trailer and parking. Only downside is both doors to outside are only accessible walking through the room with all the beds. Meant that when others were sleeping we had to disturb them to take dogs outside.

Great Little House

The house is great especially if you have a boat as there is a boat ramp literllay out the side door. The set up is a little different as there are two entrances and they are on either side of the house but they both go into either the bathroom or the bedroom. You cannot get into the house without going through the bedroom/bathroom. The neighborhood is super quaint and quiet and the canals are beautifully maintainted.

Three friends wanting a quick get away from our busy schedules. Perfect distance from home and we all grew up visiting this area year around. My childhood beach camp was destroyed by Hurricane Ike. The cabin we discovered was a pre Ike cabin that has been beautifully remodeled. Just what we wanted. Oh yes and we are in our 60's so we do know how to enjoy peace and quiet.Thank you to the owners.
