About this property

2 Story Upscale Beachfront House With unobstructed Beach Views from every room.

Enjoy waking up from any bedroom with a view of the ocean. Have your coffee on the balcony of your bedroom or downstairs in a large den full of Windows with unobstructed ocean views. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs that share a balcony with an unobstructed view of the Ocean. The bedrooms upstairs has a wall of windows that face the ocean. You can just lay in bed and watch the ocean roll in with the brown pelicans and other salt air birds enjoying their habitat. There is a 4th bedroom downstairs. There are 3 full bathrooms 2 upstairs and 1 down. The large den Downstairs has a wall of windows that also has an unobstructed full view of the Ocean. The house is located in an upscale subdivision in Crystal beach. In Crystal beach you can rent golf carts to drive on the beach which is one of the many reasons I chose Crystal beach instead of Galveston.

Christmas Vacation

This was our second stay at the Salty Lime over the Christmas holidays, and it was as great as the first that made us decide to return. The location can't be beat.

Perfect for a family get-together

A Salty Lime is a gem! Great location - you can’t get closer to the beach unless you camp on it. The views from the decks are gorgeous and interesting at the same time. It’s located in a quiet, family friendly community. Virtually EVERYTHING is provided with the house - all we needed to bring were our food and clothes. The host was very congenial and reachable. We hope to bring the family back again soon.

Happy beach stay!!!

We totally enjoyed our stay at the Salty Lime! The views were awesome. It is a short walk to the walkway to crossover the dunes. We setup our beach site near to the walkway and were able to come back and forth to the house very easy. Our beds were very comfortable, A/C worked great and everything was clean and fresh when we arrived! We will definitely pick this house again to spend a vacation at the beach!

Amazing weekend

We loved this house! It was perfect for our family weekend getaway. Conveniently located near The Big Store for groceries and supplies, and Stingaree Restaurant. The views are amazing, enough parking for everyone, only a few blocks from a golf cart rental, and the house itself is very comfortable and welcoming. We will hopefully be back.

MOLD!!!! SEPTIC ISSUES!!!

Mold inside the house along with septic issues. The owner rented a porta potty but i didnt pay $816 a night to have to use a porta potty like a public place. I contacted vrbo about this issue but i guess its acceptable to have mold and septic issues, as long as you complain while renting the house. After the stay (which was only 20 hours) then theres nothing they will do about it. As i dont see this being a timely manner to report issues and get a new house to stay in. UNACCEPTABLE ON THE HOST AND VRBO.

Family beach trip

This is our second year to stay at this property. The location is excellent. The house is easy to get to from the road. It’s even better because it’s right on the beach. I love looking out the windows over the water. The night time view is beautiful as well with the ships coming in. It’s a very nice place to rest upon the balcony overlooking the beach

Great place!

They just don’t make places as close to the beach as this house! The view takes the cake, but everything about this rental was perfect. So many (comfy) sleeping options, fully stocked kitchen, kids beach toys, first aid kit, more than enough towels, laundry detergent, hair blow dryer AND straightener, every seasoning you could imagine, board games, I could go on and on… it’s cute, it’s clean, okay I’ll stop! I would recommend getting a golf cart because you have to walk around to get to the walkway and by then you could already be there via cart. I personally like to unpack my suitcase into dressers and luckily I got the only room with one. I would LOVE to stay here again!

Perfect!

We had a small family reunion and celebrated Father’s Day here. The location is wonderful and beach access is easy. The house is set up very well. Loved having one of the bedrooms downstairs and the rest upstairs so that I did not wake everyone up when I started cooking. It also helped to have the bedrooms upstairs away from the living area so the little ones could sleep. The kitchen is wonderful! It had absolutely everything we could want or need. we cooked a lot and there was never the issue of needing something that was not there. Everyone had such a great time And we all enjoyed the decks that look out toward the gulf. Not that this is a make or break on a house… But the decor is so cute! Everyone loved the pictures on the walls. The communication was great as well.

Awesome!!

The house is amazing!! We went with 6 adults and 3 kids and we were all very comfortable. The house was clean and tidy. Everything we needed was available. The house is not far from the grocery stores, restaurants or anything you would need. The only complaint we had was the wooden deck chairs don't have a bottom on the cup holder so you can't put a beer can in it!! 😂😂

Family Vacation

Enjoyed the house!! The master bedroom upstairs has great views and big bathroom. We did have to take our truck out to beach with everything loaded in back so we didn’t have to make multiple trips. Well worth the beach tag(10.00) . Just make sure you take lots and lots of bug spray. The mosquitoes are out for blood!!!!!! Overall, I would stay again 100%!!!

Crystal Beach Getaway

The location is perfect, with constant sounds of the ocean, beautiful views of the sunrise, & easy walks to the beach. The house has everything we needed to cook & enjoy meals together. The beds were comfy. Communication with Renee was beyond easy, exceeding expectations. This was our second stay at A Salty Lime, & there will definitely be a third.

Beach Eclipse Hunters.

We were looking for a peaceful setting to watch the eclipse away from the marauding hordes and we found a beautiful, well cared for magical beach house. I’d trade eclipse totality for that experience any day, it was perfect, thank you.

Ladies Conference

Our church ladies group rented the Salty Lime to attend a conference. The house was so perfect for all of us to have room to rest and get ready. The view of the beach as idealistic. It was a wonderful experience and we will be renting next year as well. One of the ladies left their wallet and the owner was very kind. No only did she let us know that we left the wallet but mailed it to us. 10 stars!

Nice weekend getaway

We had a nice weekend at The Salty Lime. The house was a nice size for us and we had plenty of room. The location was perfect and just a short walk to the beach. The house is showing some wear & tear. It felt clean and we were comfortable. We also appreciated the beach chairs that were available for use.

The property location is good. The property host was very courteous and responded to my email messages promptly. There was no internet connection as promised during our entire stay. We could not do the Zoom sessions. Minor issues for future guests: BBQ grill needed fixing. Bathrooms not 100% clean. Everything else meet expectations. Thanks.
