Cozy cabin with a great location

This cabin was just what we needed this week. Free to Beach has a great location with a less than 5 minute walk to the beach and close to The Stingaree restaurant. Be sure to catch a sunset on the deck there if you get a chance. Thanks for letting us make memories at your cabin!

As promised!

We were looking for a place to relax on land for a couple days following our cruise and this place was perfect. Easy walk to beach and comfortable deck to relax on. Restaurants and shopping all close. It was the ideal size and configuration for a couple plus 2 additional friends and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, pans, etc for those lazy vacation breakfasts and snacking. Loved our stay and we are already thinking about our next visit.

Great place to stay

We rented Free to Beach for Father's day and we absolutely loved this property and the managers. They were very friendly and upfront, everything was pretty straightforward. It had everything thing we needed for our weekend and was close enough to the shore that we could walk down. Grill, outdoor shower, ice in the freezer, marshmallow roasting sticks in the drawer, I mean it had everything we needed but food. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Jeremy and Courtney!

70th Birthday

Prior to spending the weekend with our entire family(21 total) at a larger VBRO property in Crystal Beach to celebrate my 70th birthday, my wife and booked a 2-night stay at Free to the Beach. I wanted to spend a little time kayak fishing in the bay. Our stay was very relaxing and the house was perfect for us.

Great beach house

My mom, myself and two teens stayed at Free to Beach for two nights while visiting family down south. The house is super clean and had absolutely everything we needed. It felt big enough for the four of us, especially when we used the ample deck space. The beach is less than five minutes from the house on foot, which is super nice because there is no public parking at any of the beaches on Bolivar Peninsula unless you pay for a parking pass (I think it was $10). It was really fun to get up in the morning and walk on the beach when it was quiet and be able to visit the ocean anytime we wanted. Sunsets were glorious. I really have nothing but glowing remarks for the property. I would have loved to have been able to recycle, but sadly that doesn’t seem to be a priority in Texas. Crystal Beach has a different feel with people being able to drive and park on the sand, music blaring and sometimes exhibiting some obnoxious behavior like driving too fast, lots of litter left at the end of the day, etc. There was fantastic birdwatching on the back side of the island. Lots of new developments going into that marsh, so hopefully the full time residents on the island will work to keep parts of it wild. Bolivar Peninsula is not as commercial as Galveston, but it seems like it’s growing very quickly.
