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.

Fresh, Clean, Comfortable!
This house does have an interesting layout, but provided privacy for two adults friends travelling together. There was one traditional bedroom with a full bath connected to it. The room with the entry doors had twin beds and a large bed. A bathroom with walk-in shower and laundry was connected to that room. It had a sliding door that separated it from the kitchen/living area essentially making it a bedroom that you enter the house through. Kitchen stocked for preparation of just about any meal. Full-size fridge. Plenty of towels. Soaps, etc. included. GREAT water pressure. Highly recommend for 2 adults or a small family.

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.

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.

Crystal beach tx
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.

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.

Communication is Key
The house was super cute and comfortable. However, there was no communication really. We realized we didn't have hot water on Thursday when we arrived. Reached out an no one responded until Saturday. There were bugs coming up through the sink and shower and some dirty linens. No extra trash bags and nothing to scrub dishes with. It was fine, but probably won't choose this one again.

Best fishing place to stay
Absolutely will come back! But not fully stocked so bring stuff. I left seasonings and paper towel and toilet paper. Bring trash bags. And no mixing bowls. Definitely very nice though.

Quick fishing trip
Stayed 2 nights and 3 days for a fishing trip with my son. It was very clean, comfortable, and quite. It was exactly what I was looking for and would most definitely stay here again. We had our boat so the private ramp was a plus although a little difficult to load the boat on a very low tide. It was a very pleasant stay!

Overall the stay was amazing. Almost everything was provided to make our visit feel comfortable and fun. The view to see the sun rise and set was pretty good. We also enjoyed the swing outside and spacious yard for a relaxing yoga session or reading time. The best part about this place was the fact that we could get to the beach in 1 minute! Will be coming back another time. Thanks again for the memorable hospitality.
