Within the quiet beach town named Crystal Beach, The Blue Whale lives up to its name and shows why it is the perfect family getaway. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while the birds begin to stir, as you lounge on the spacious wraparound deck.

Located just 8 minutes from Camp Margaritaville RV Resort, this beautiful home features an open and airy living space with stylish mid-century furnishings and plenty of natural light. The fully stocked kitchen and ample seating, including bar stools and a dining table, cater to all your culinary needs.

The first bedroom off the living area is a cozy retreat with a king-size bed. Perfect for families, the second bedroom boasts two queen-size beds, while the master bedroom indulges in a luxurious king-size bed. Whichever room you end up in, you’re sure to find comfort and wake each morning ready for the day.

Up a spiral staircase lies the ultimate fun zone - a game room with two full-over-full bunk beds, perfect for epic slumber parties! Challenge your crew to ping-pong and foosball battles, or get lost in the thrills of classic arcade games. Right alongside the action is a cozy corner with a queen bed for tired champions. Down the hall, you'll find another comfy retreat with two more queen-size beds. And after a day of beach adventures, everyone can freshen up in the convenient full bathroom on this floor.

As the day fades to twilight, step outside and embrace the cool sea breeze. Unwind by the firepit, glass of wine in hand, as the Texas sunset paints the sky in warm hues. Let laughter and stories fill the air, knowing these are memories you’ll treasure for years to come.

We are unable to price match any rates found on other booking platforms.

Short Weekend Get Away!

Charming beach cabin that exceeded all expectations. The location was absolutely ideal—just a short walk to the beach and conveniently close to grocery stores and restaurants, making everything easily accessible. The cabin itself was spotless, cozy, and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring or relaxing by the water. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful and well-appointed getaway.

Church youth group retreat

This was a great house to stay in. The upstairs room was wonderful for our group of teens. The owners communicated well and answered messages quickly.
