Perfect Getaway

This was our second visit to LaBella Vista. Everything about the house is perfect. It’s beautiful, very clean, comfortable & conveniently located close to the beach. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. The entire family enjoys coming to this amazing house. It was a much needed & perfect getaway for our family after Hurricane Beryl.

Wonderful home close to the beach

The house was fantastic. It was stocked with amenities to include an air frier, crock pot, and waffle maker. The home was beautiful and very close to the beach! My kids loved the arcade in their room and the adults loved sitting on the deck listening to the waves. This will be a home we use in the future!

Home Away From Home

This beach house is beautiful! By far, my favorite! It is in a great location and close to the beach! My family and I loved the space! The kids played on the arcade game when we weren't at the beach. There is lots of seating outside on the deck! The owners did a great job decorating and making it a home away from home!

La Bella Vista - Best House at the Beach!

Everything about the house was perfect! Great location. Nice neighborhood. Even without the golf cart, it’s a very short walk to the beach. The deck was fantastic. Close enough to see the ocean and hear the waves. The kitchen was great. We loved the island. The kids enjoyed the bedroom with the bunk beds and the arcade game. The bedrooms were cozy. Beds were comfy. There truly isn’t enough we can say about how wonderful the house is. We have stayed at many beach houses over the years & this one is the best we have rented. The owner was kind and responsive. Check-in and check-out were easy. Wish we would’ve stayed longer. We look forward to coming back.

Great amenities

This house had it all. We had four kids with us ages varying from 2-15 and there was something for them all. Great chairs to use for the beach, games to play, and the outdoor patio was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be coming back!

One of the BEST Crystal Beach experiences

I have to start by saying that you really have to appreciate a great host. They were very transparent and helpful during the booking process and during our stay. It made the weekend that much better. La Bella Vista is one of the best cabins we have rented and we have been coming to Crystal Beach for 30+ years now. The downstairs area is by far THE BEST on the beach. TV, tiki bar, grill, basketball goal, etc. this cabin has all of the amenities you will ever need. We grilled and watched the Astros in the evenings. There are also plenty of beach + water amenities for you to use and enjoy which was a plus. The cabin itself is very spacious inside and sleeps 10 VERY comfortably. I was surprised at how comfortable the beds were because you typically don’t get that type of luxury out of a rental. We also had plenty of space to have everyone help out in the kitchen and cook. The open layout is perfect for your big family gathering and there are plenty of kitchen amenities to make you feel at home. We will be coming back soon and staying here. My family and I absolutely loved it. See ya soon La Bella Vista.

Spring Break Perfection

From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew our Spring Break was going to be a relaxing and fun time! We had 5 kids and 4 adults, and at no point in the entirety of the trip did we feel like we needed more room. The kids had so much fun playing outdoor games, laying in the hammock, and playing basketball downstairs. The adults had fun relaxing on the upstairs deck, or grilling downstairs while hanging out at the amazing bar with a TV. The kitchen was completely stocked with high quality pots, pans, plates, margarita glasses, and everything we needed to cook was there (even a cake platter that we needed for a birthday). We had all the beach equipment that we needed as well. It was so easy to walk back and forth from the beach when we needed a restroom or lunch break! One evening we even all piled in the living room for a movie night! It was perfect. We ate dinner at Stingarees one evening. Another dinner we ate was grilled, fresh seafood we got by taking the ferry over to Galveston. Any other food items we needed we purchased at the Big Store… which is just 4 minutes away! We cannot wait to go back! The best part is knowing we only need to pack our clothes and swim suit and everything else we need is already there!
