THIS HOME WORKS WELL WITH PARROT HEAD, THE SHORE HOUSE AND 1 NAUT ON CALL.




EVEN WHEN PROVIDED, INTERNET ACCESS/SATELLITE TV/CELL SERVICE CAN BE UNRELIABLE ON THE BOLIVAR PENINSULA, AS WE ARE A RURAL COMMUNITY AND WEATHER SENSITIVE AREA. WE APOLOGIZE, BUT COBB REAL ESTATE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THESE AMENITIES WILL BE WORKING DURING YOUR STAY AND CANNOT OFFER REFUNDS FOR DISRUPTION OF THESE SERVICES.



Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this information; however, it is not guaranteed. It is subject to errors, omissions, change of price, change of house contents and/or features or withdrawal without notice.


Please note, Hurricane Ike forever changed the footprint of Bolivar Peninsula, therefore some homes listed as beachfront may have a lot and/or street in front of it. This is the result of the uncertainty following the storm where some property owners elected to participate in the government buy out of lots that fell in what later would be considered within the vegetation line established by the State of Texas and subsequently included as part of the public beach. Not all property owners participated. Those homes where the property in front of it are part of the buyout are considered beachfront even though to the east or west of it there may be a home closer to the beach.

BEST FAMILY HOUSE ON THE WATER

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A Beachside Gem at Crystal Beach! 🌊🏖️Our family has been staying here for years, and it never disappoints! This beautiful house is spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. Everything inside the house is super nice and well-maintained. The recent exterior paint job looks amazing, making the house even more charming.One of our favorite features is the convenient shower below for washing off sandy feet before heading upstairs—such a thoughtful touch! Whether you're lounging indoors or enjoying the beach, this house has it all. We highly recommend it for a memorable stay! Beautiful view of the ocean. Thank you Surf and Sand

4th of July FUN!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've rented this cabin through Cobb many times over the last several years and, as usual, we had a great time! Cobb is great to deal with and the house is in a perfect location and has everything we need. We had zero issues while there although it was the week before the hurricane hit; we left Sunday afternoon and Monday it was a totally different story. The weather the week we were there was great! The beach was busy but not packed. Fantastic house and fantastic company to deal with....win-win!!

Surf and Sand vacation rental review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We lost our rental at the end of last that we had been renting for the last 10 years and we loved the area . This rental happened to be just across the street from our old rental. We booked it and enjoyed the house. It checked off all of our vacation needs and accommodated all of our guest with plenty of room . We will rent again for a yearly vacation trip to Crystal Beach.

Great House and Location!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location of this house is perfect, could not be any better! The house itself is a great floor plan, room sizes are good and the mattresses are the best of any house we've rented to date by far!!!! House needs a bit of maintenance (exterior paint mainly) and a picnic table downstairs would be nice but all in all it definitely is a cabin I'd want to rent again......and look forward to it too! Once again Cobb was easy and professional, always a pleasure to do business with you. The linens and towels were more than adequate as well. I'd definitely give Surf and Sand 5 Stars!!!!!!

Weekend Stay

Location of house was great. Unobstructed view of the Gulf. House was very clean and had plenty of cookware, utensils and dishes, everything you need. I would recommend bringing Off spray as the mosquitos were really bad. Would definitely return to Surf and Sand house next time on Bolivar.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020
