Very nice house and excellent location. Probably one of my favorite houses I’ve rented in crystal beach ever. The only thing I would complain about is there were a lot stickers burrs in the living room carpet. Someone obviously disrespected the property that stayed before us. No shoes or flops inside should be a rule . Overall would love to rent again.

This was our second time staying at this beach house. I have always chosen diff beach houses in years past, but the first time we stayed here, it met and exceeded all our needs and wants. So we now will look to rent this same one for our trips. The owner is very helpful and responsive.

Perfect getaway

We enjoyed our first visit to this area - the house is very comfortable. Although we couldn’t enjoy the beach - it was very windy we did walk it one day and enjoyed looking for seashells. We took a day trip to Galveston and NASA - and the ferry was an enjoyable experience. Groceries are easy to find and dinner at Stingarees was delicious.

Perfect getaway

We have stayed at several homes in Crystal Beach in the past few years, and this one was the best so far. Newer home with nice furnishings and very clean. Everything we needed was provided. Not too far of a walk to the beach. Loved the tiki bar areas both downstairs & upstairs. House layout is great, 2 bedrooms on one side & master on the other. Furniture is comfortable and large TV in living room was a plus. Great location to local shops, etc. Josh was awesome and very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely be back!

The property was absolutely beautiful. Extremely clean and well decorated. I seriously do not have a bad thing to say about the property. This was my 3rd time renting a beach house in Crystal Beach and by far the best one! Very short walk to the beach was great as well.
