Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

3 min walk to the beach! Arcade Games and Outdoor fun!

Escape the routine, find your peace, and create memories that will be talked about for years to come. Let future conversations start with "remember that time at Crystal Beach..." Coffee while enjoying the cool sea breeze, afternoon tea, and cold refreshments with the smell of BBQ coming off a hot charcoal grill. Nostalgia kicking in with the sound of vintage arcade games while still having access to modern amenities in every room. Welcome to your next best vacation.

Great Location and Fun Times!
We really enjoyed staying here with the family. A 3 minute walk to the beach was perfect. The kids loved to play the arcade in the living room when we had downtime. I had a couple questions at the beginning of our stay and Shaun was quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice place
Host was very accommodating. Arrived in area early, reached out if could leave a trailer in the driveway so could hangout on the beach before check in time. He let us know the house was ready and could access the house early. Not many places would allow that.

Beautiful home by the beach
Beautiful home just a short walk from the beach. We loved the location and the hospitality of the host. If we were not outside enjoying ladder ball and the tiki bar, we were upstairs enjoying the pac man game. Great place that I hope to stay again.

Great location!
Conveniently located close to the Big Store for those forgotten grocery items, a very short walk to the beach, and tons of fun for the kids! My only suggestion would be to bring a hotspot for the TV outside. We used our phone hotspots to get the Astros games! Great stay and will likely use this rental again!!

Great location
Overall good stay. Had a few blips along the way that kept me from saying it was great. Location was great to the beach. Property manager was super helpful and extremely responsive. Property needed some updates and bathrooms were small for several people sharing.

Family friendly setup. Open concept and vaulted ceilings helped so we didn’t feel cramped. Check in/out process was clearly shared with us in a timely manner so we could prep for our arrival and departure. Would recommend!

Pictures are nice and better in person!!
If you think the pictures are nice, it’s even better in person! The property comes equipped with everything you may need(lots of towels, pillows, throw blankets, beach toys, everything for the kitchen, and many more). Everything about it is great! A very short walk to the beach. You can also drive your car right in front of the beach. Our family had a great time! Great location! Would recommend!

Great house for large groups and it’s close to the beach!
We enjoyed a friends vacation in this home with our kids over Labor Day weekend and the house was exactly what we needed. The mattresses were very comfortable, the kitchen is exceptionally stocked for cooking, plenty of beach towels and bath linens and very clean inside. The outdoor patio was nice outside of the mosquitos, but that’s nothing against the host.. that’s just Crystal Beach in general. I would recommend guests bringing citronella candles and bug spray to help with that. Overall our entire group had a wonderful stay here and would definitely stay again.

Great owners!
We reported some very minor issues to the owner, and he responded immediately, offering to fix them that day. They were minor, so we asked them to wait until we left. 2 days after the trip, we were notified that all concerns were addressed. No place is perfect, but the owner went above and beyond to make the place as perfect as possible. It was also the best stocked location we've ever rented. Great location, close to the beach and the Big Store. We will definitely be booking this place again in the future.

Great location, with some flaws.
Honestly this property is pretty awesome. The house is located so close to the beach, and has everything you need for the stay. My family really only had an issue with the AC. It was above 80 most of the day, despite being set to 70. It didn’t get below 80 till 11 at night, and was back above 80 by 10a. If you don’t mind the heat this listing is phenomenal. It was too uncomfortable for us.
