Welcome to your next great adventure, The S.S. Esmeralda. This newly built home has plenty of space with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and is only a quick, 3-minute walk from the beach. In the ideal location, you’ll enjoy close proximity to a variety of restaurants, stores, and activities. The S.S. Esmeralda is the perfect place to build memories while enjoying relaxing days at the beach, soaking up the sun and listening to the ocean’s waves.

Relaxing Stay in a Beautiful Beach Home

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! The house is tastefully decorated, giving it a cozy, welcoming feel that truly feels like a home away from home. It's located in a peaceful area, perfect for relaxing and just a short walk to the beach, which made morning strolls and sunset views so easy to enjoy. The location, comfort, and charm of this home exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway by the water!

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.

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!

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.
