Spring break 2025

The house was great. It was clean and as described online & it had great views from the 3rd floor. However, the beach was busier with traffic than we expected. That part makes it hard to relax on the beach especially with younger kids. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Always love our stay here

This is the 3rd time I've stayed at this home and the location just cannot be beat! We love the water views from the decks, the quick walk to the beach or to the boutiques and the neighborhood - quiet and nice. The house has everything you could need- grill, hot tub, cooking tools (seemed like a brand new oven too!), lots of pantry space and the lift is super convenient and helpful. Will be back!

Had fun

Our stay was mostly positive. The owner was very nice and tried to fix any problems we had. It’s a beautiful place with great views easy access to the beach. I do suggest an upgrade of all the pillows. They were flat and worn. Everything else was lovely.

Very Relaxing

This home, its location, and proximity to the beach made our vacation very relaxing and lovely. It is clear that the homeowner takes great pride in her home and it had every amenity we could possibly need. Simple things like access to the garage to place our beach stuff each night locked up or use of the fridge/freezer in said garage to make keeping the ice for the cooler easy are just examples of how well thought out this rental property is. We had the opportunity to speak with Cheryl and she was very accommodating to our questions. The house is large enough that our family (dad, mom, son, daughter, and 2 grandmothers, along with our golden retriever) all had enough space so it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Overall great property and great experience.

Absolutely perfect!

I can't say enough positive things about this property! It was perfect for our 3 families to have a family getaway. The multiple balconies, two living rooms, and short walk to the beach were just what we were looking for. The view of the beach from the balconies completely took our breath away and was such a great surprise! The cargo lift allowed us to accommodate our son who uses a wheelchair, and the fully fenced porch was perfect for our dogs to get some fresh air throughout the day. The kitchen was well stocked with the odds and ends we forgot to bring along. Everything was very clean. Communication with the owners was quick, thorough, and so helpful! We were completely satisfied with this location!

Great Views

Several decks on different floors with great views. The lift was the main reason we rented this house - traveled with mom and aunt who needed the assistance. Had everything we needed to cook, relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. Central location, beach was busy but if you want out of the crowd, just drive a little further down. Cheryl was a great host. Checked in with us and was responsive.

Perfect Location and Excellent Host

Our group of 12 (6 adults and 6 teens aged 13-17) had such a great time here. The kids all loved the Jacuzzi! The walk to the beach was so quick! My father-in-law who has difficulty getting around really appreciated the lift and being able to drive on the beach. Mrs. Cheryl is an excellent host! We had everything we needed! She told me to pack light and she was right. She was so quick to respond to my questions and such a sweet person to talk to. Great stay. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Herrmann 832-633-4575

I grew up in Upstate New York taking our summer vacations to the beaches of Maine. After moving to Houston, I visited Crystal Beach many times with family and friends. Every time we visited, my husband and I talked about buying a beach house. Finally, I did! Looking at retiring from a career in education, and Hurricane Ike taking our first house away, it was time to build our Absolutely Amazing Beach Retreat. My family, husband Joe and four boys has now grown into a wonderful family of almost 16! We love the beach, family time at the beach, relaxing and playing hard on Bolivar Peninsula. The boys now come down with a boat to enjoy duck hunting, fishing, and taking Grams for boat rides! I enjoy sharing my house with others and hope I can help you grow some Absolutely amazing memories!

Why they chose this property

In 2004 I bought the best little beach house I could afford just to get to Crystal Beach where we had enjoyed many family events for years. On September 11th 2008, Hurricane Ike took not only my entire house, but the entire Crystal Beach community.

What makes this property unique

Absolutely Amazing is set up to have fun! The views are gorgeous and the home, welcoming. I have a cargo lift to help bring all your "stuff" up, a kitchen that is well stocked with cooking supplies, and beds freshly made, awaiting your arrival. You can take the VERY short walk or ride the golf cart to the beach. There are beach toys in the garage along with a hammock to enjoy. There are two living areas providing extra room to set up air mattresses, if needed. The yard is landscaped and there is an extra lot for parking.
