Escape to the Bolivar Peninsula, between Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, at this three-bedroom, family-friendly home with a furnished, ground-level patio, wraparound balcony, and plenty of room for up to 10 guests, all just a short walk from the beach. Up to two small family dogs (25 lbs or less) are also welcome to join you for an additional nightly fee.

Conveniently located near State Highway 87 for easy access up and down the peninsula, this secluded Crystal Beach home is just a short drive and a fun ferry ride from historic Galveston (15 miles). Nearby, all along Highway 87, you'll find local bars, restaurants, shops, and even a small grocery store where you can pick up a few essentials during your stay. For a little fun, take the whole family to the very casual, nine-hole, Crystal Beach Community Golf Course, just a mile away. Or take a 300-yard stroll down to the end of your street and find yourself on miles of sandy, Gulf Coast beaches.

Perfect for a large family gathering or holiday celebration, this contemporary home offers free WiFi, four TVs, and a DVD/Blu-ray player in the living room if you want to bring along a few movies. On the lower level, there's a furnished patio area with a picnic table, charcoal grill, and an outdoor shower so you can rinse off after walking back from the beach. This home also has a furnished, wraparound balcony with additional seating where you can relax with a cool drink and enjoy the view.

This home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a friendly reminder rather than risking a noise complaint from a neighbor. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices—not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the nightly pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting "Yes" to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The nightly fee ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Great for a family stay!
The house was as described. Lots of blankets/comforters when it got chilly. A good amount of pots and pans for us to get some sides ready for Thanksgiving. Loved that it’s walking distance from the beach and it’s on a quiet street. It was also nice to have a TV in each room and the family room so we could watch what we wanted.

Sisters birthday vacation
Just don’t waste your time with any Vacasa properties through Vrbo. Every amenity was either missing, not working, or just broken. The property management team had no eagerness to fix any of the issues. The fans and lights didn’t work. Extremely unhappy with our stay.

Wonderful Experience!
My group and I loved staying at this home! We come and stay at Crystal Beach every year and this home ranks up there with the best of the houses we’ve rented! The house was very clean and well kept. There were a few MINOR flaws with the house, but nothing we were too upset about. My friends and I will definitely be coming back here.

Nice House but not allowed on lift
The House was great, but check in was terrible. We were given wrong codes and took over and hour to get it corrected. We were not offered any compensation at all for the stress/inconvenience. The elevator/lift is not for guest use was very frustrating since we had my 86 year old mom with us. It would have been very nice to at least let people load their suitcases on the lift. The king bed is so high off ground, I don’t see how anyone could use it. There are no closets in any of the bedrooms. Lack of water pressure in the shower also. The decoration is super nice. It was nice sitting on the porch. There are a ton of stairs. Also, if you rent through Vacasa only, you will not be charged the $77 fee from VRBO (extremely high)
