All aspects of our stay were fantastic! The house is beautiful and it had everything that we needed. It didn’t hurt that we experienced near perfect weather with clear blue skies and temperatures in the 70s. Just perfect to enjoy on the spacious decks that the house offered.
The house is very nicely appointed. The layout of the bedrooms was especially perfect with one large master on the main floor, and 3 additional bedrooms upstairs all with doors opening onto the large upper deck. All the bedrooms have wonderful unobstructed views of the ocean and their own bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of extra pillows. The elevator was critical in being able to assist my elderly, frail parents up to the house and down to the beach. It was lovely even with the less than stellar weather. Crystal was extremely responsive with every inquiry. We had a wonderful time.
This is our second time at the property and it will always be our place of choice when we want to go back. What drew my attention was the elevator option but even if we didn’t need that, the place combined with beachfront location will always draw me back.
We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and had an amazing experience. The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach with stunning views and easy access to the sand. The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay.Our host was awesome—super responsive and helpful with any questions we had before and during the trip. It’s clear they care about making guests feel welcome.We definitely plan to come back. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, beachfront getaway!
We had a great time at this property. Host is communicative. Great location next to the beach. Plenty of room. The elevator was useful for the senior citizen with knee issues. We plan to be back
Beautiful home and great beach front location. Loved every bedroom having its own bathroom. Well stocked and nicely furnished. Elevator is a great amenity. You will love staying here. We will be back!
This has been the best rental we have ever stayed at! It is clean and has everything you could ever imagine needing. The property was clean, the neighborhood was quiet. The location was excellent! It was just perfect!
The house itself is just gorgeous!
You will not regret staying here!
The only sad thing was that we had to leave......but we will stay here again for sure!
A few days away to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from college. It was the perfect space for my family to spend time together. The accommodations were excellent and the space had every amenity needed for our stay. It was perfectly set right next to the beach which made for marvelous sunrises and scenery. Would definitely book again!

Family beach trip
House was not very clean, outdoor shower did not work, kitchen sink had poor water pressure, elevator door sticks closed on first floor
Good location on the beach and outside deck and chairs were very nice
Really nice house, with lovely 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen with everything you need, and amazing views from every room. I love having an elevator and the plus is, it goes to the second story of the house so no having to carry heavy luggage up the steps making check-in and check-out soooo much easier. The deck has plenty of tall chairs so you can see over the railing. These things make a big difference to me. We loved our stay and wish we had more time to stay longer.
This place is so nice. It has everything you need plus more. Besides the things that are listed this beautiful home also provides Kleenex’s, Clorox wipes, night lights, high chair, floor fans (besides the ceiling fans), and the recliners are so comfortable!!
We have stayed in Crystal Beach before and continue to absolutely love it. This time of year if fantastic to go there. Light crowds and very few people on the beach. My wife and I love the beach and love a home that is located on the beach. This home not only gave us what we wanted but needed. Having the elevator to move our things into the home made life so much easier. When cooking we had the view of the ocean. Wow just amazing. It was just a short walk over the small board walk to the beach. The beaches there are the best in Texas.We went to the beach everyday. Just fantastic. We also learned that going to the top floor the wind and shade was better than going to sit on the beach. The kitchen, furniture, utensils, beds were outstanding. We cannot give a better review than this house. Close to everything. Krystal was extremely responsive for everything we needed. You can choose many good homes but this one is the best. What a great trip!!!
This house is perfect for my five friends and me. The well stocked kitchen is amazing. Every bedroom is large with a bath. The beds are comfortable & there is a full size washer & dryer. The view is beautiful & right on the beach. There are a lot of deck furniture to enjoy. We also rented the elevator & used it for all our luggage and groceries. It was well worth it. We are planning another trip next year, & we voted to choose this beach house again.
My husband is disabled and we needed an elevator, and that is what originally drew us to this property. The house is roomy and well stocked with anything we needed. We utilized the grill in the garage, and even found a small step stool in a storage closet which helped getting my husband on and off our golf cart. We loved that the house faces the beach, and the house' large decks allowed enjoying the wind and waves. Every common area and bedroom window faced the beach. There is an empty lot next to the house along with beach access, which meant we never felt crowded. Crystal always responded in a timely manner, and was receptive to requests. We definitely want to do it again!
If you are looking for a house with an amazing view, easy access to the beach and enough room for a large group, this is it! Crystal was amazing and answered every question i had in a timely manner. I left some items behind and she went above and beyond to get them mailed to me. The elevator made it possible for my 81 year old Mom to be able to make the trip with us. Everything you need to enjoy your trip is already there, book now! You wont regret it. Thank you Crystal, you are an amazing host!!!!!
This house and host are amazing! We stayed for 5 days in January for a birthday celebration. The house is in a quiet place and there is the Big Store not far away if one would need anything. Upon arrival Mother Nature was not playing nice and ended up taking out the main refrigerator. The host was super responsive and had someone out right away the next morning. Thankfully we had backups to move everything to. The house was well stocked with everything that was needed. I HIGHLY recommend this property if you're looking for a peaceful beachfront getaway. We can't wait to come back!
This beautiful house is in a great location with easy access to the beach. The layout of the house really worked well for our family, ages ranging from 5 months to 85 years old. The living area was so spacious accommodated our family of nine with plenty of room for a pallet on the floor for our granddaughter. We loved the fact that we all had our own seperate bathrooms. The elevator really came in handy. The extra bonus, we were right across the highway from the Big Store. We definitely look forward to staying in this house again. The host was so very accommodating . She kept us informed on all aspects of our rental.
We have been vacationing in Galveston for the New Year since 2012 and always choose a place on the beach. We selected this property because of its superior layout where all four bedrooms and the living area had unobstructed beach views. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans and basics. The bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms were wonderful. Arriving in a warm late December that cooled off in early January, we effortlessly moved from air conditioning to igniting the propane-fueled fireplace. We suffered a power outage due to a tornado touching down north of us but the host was great keeping us apprised of efforts to restore electricity. The only and I mean ONLY drawback to the property was the amount of traffic on the beach, Maybe because it was the New Year's holiday but the amount of people speeding back and forth on Crystal Beach was shocking. It was tolerable with the golf carts but then there were the trucks, SUVs, sedans and ATVs driving as if they were on the highway. Then there were people who parked right in front of the unit blocking the view, and those who even set bonfires there on the beach. Fortunately, the activity dropped off considerably after New Year's Day. Granted, these are not issues that the host has any control over, but if these issues are of concern to you be aware. All-in-all this was one of the best properties we have ever rented in the Galveston area.
This was a perfect property for our 3 families. The kids had a lot of space to play and the 2 balconies were a plus. There was a lot more dishes, glasses, pot and pans, etc. in excellent condition, a lot more than any other property we have stayed at.
Host was very responsive and supportive. House was in good repair and clean. Had everything we needed. Towels were provided but we had to hunt for them. Finally found them in an upstairs bathroom in the drawers of all places. View is best on the beach. Great furniture and beds. Beautiful beautiful house with plenty of room to host a whole family. Elevator was a perfect amenity for our aging guests. Perfect location on the island. Highly recommend.
Great family getaway...the location of this house was perfect! The elevator was an added bonus, loved the space with bedrooms all will with a view and all had their own bathroom! Great communication with host!
Very tranquil and relaxing place to charge batteries for the year to come. Very quiet with great sea and beach views. Sunrises are to die for, fantastic.
