Single traveler seeking peace and respite

Sure, here's the review in text form:"My stay at this beach home on Bolivar Peninsula was a dream. The owners were incredibly welcoming. The house itself was spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated, with an ocean view from the deck that was nothing short of breathtaking. It was the perfect setting for the emotional respite I needed, offering a healing serenity that only the vastness of the ocean can provide."

We love this place!

This is our second stay at this house in a year. The location and beauty of the house makes it an easy decision to return. The home owners are very receptive to questions or comments. We really enjoy staying in this area. The Big Store has all of your grocery needs and there are several excellent restaurants in the area. The beds are comfortable and the open living/kitchen area is a definite plus! Plenty of room to visit with family. Very nice views.

Fabulous house right on the ocean!!

The Coral Crawfish was perfect for us! It was clean, well stocked, and nicely decorated with spacious rooms. There were lots of amenities provided including some k-cups for our first morning coffee! We had 5 people in our group and it would easily accommodate more. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the surf while enjoying the sun. Beach access was right off to the side of the house which was very convenient for us as we also spent a lot of time on the beach. We enjoyed looking for, and finding, beach glass. There are several places in the area to eat and it’s a short ferry ride to Galveston if you’re looking for things to do. Amanda and Josh were great hosts and responded promptly to any questions we had. We would love to come back and would HIGHLY recommend this house to others!! Joan

Why they chose this property

This beautiful beach home is a beachfront property, so you get to wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Grab your swimsuit because the sand, surf, and sun are only steps away from this gem.

Your vacation rental comfortably sleeps 10 and has a 3 bedroom/2 full bathroom layout with tons of amenities just for you. Your Primary Suite features a King-sized bed, 55” Smart TV, and access to a private deck. The ensuite has double sinks and a tiled stand-up shower.

Bedroom 2 also has a King-sized bed and a 55” Smart TV to enjoy your streaming service of choice when you log in. While bedroom 3 boasts beautiful, custom-made bunk beds for your kids to enjoy. There's a Queen/Queen bunk and a Twin/Twin bunk, so this room sleeps 6. It also has a Smart TV. Your second bathroom has a shower/tub combo in case the kids (or your dog!) need a bath after a fun day in the sun.

You get all linens provided– yes, including beach towels too!! Your bed is made fresh for your arrival, and you get a starter supply of cleaning + paper products.

Beat the Texas heat with COVERED stairs that lead up to the top deck. Enjoy ample seating and the craftsmanship of sturdy wooden furniture on the deck. So breathe deeply as you sip your coffee each morning in one of the tall captain’s chairs and take in those beautiful, unobstructed Gulf views!

Enjoy shaded picnic tables and the bar below the house. It’s the perfect place to call your loved ones and tell them to come to the beach for a small get-together! And get rid of any grit before you go upstairs by taking a rinse in the outdoor shower.

Feel free to bring Fido (no cats, please, due to allergies) as long as your dog is under 20 lbs. and you’re willing to pay a $100 non-refundable pet fee.
