We are very happy you enjoyed your stay hope you remember us the next time you come to the beach.
We stay at Crystal Beach each year and we stay in the same neighborhood. We loved the layout of this home. Kids stayed upstairs and my husband and I downstairs. Easy access to the beach. Sat out on the deck in the evening with good views of the ocean. Made great memories with our kids!
Took my family for a few days and this place was great. Very close to the beach. Can see and hear the waves from the balcony. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room. Would recommend.

Spring break on the beach away from the Galveston spring break crowd. The house was well-appointed and clearly had a family history. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach was never crowded. We felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Happy you enjoyed the house and had good vacation. Let us know when you want to come back.
This house is located on the quieter end of the beach. The house was perfect and had everything we needed in the kitchen (including a drawer full of towels & a tea pitcher). Mike was always quick to respond to all messages and even called to make sure we got there ok.

Great location for beach access and family area. The houses are spaced enough to not feel cramped by neighbors and the kids felt comfortable. Sweet little house for a family. This was our second time to stay and we will rent again. The owners are always accessible and can give an unknown to the area recommendations if needed.

My mother, my 2 children and 2 nieces stayed at this property for a family vacation. We had plenty of room for each of us. We enjoyed the underneath area of the home after returning from the beach. The beach was close and accessible. We would love to stay again in the future.

The house was awesome 😎 and we enjoyed the beach 🏖️ tremendously!! Everything was clean and modern with a large kitchen and unique upstairs shower. All in all we had a nice time at the beach 🏝️. The surrounding community was great with lots of sites to see and restaurants. The beach house was lovely and amenities were great! Everyone liked spending time in the large outdoor space! We will definitely come back the next time we head to the beach! Thanks so much for everything!

About the host
Hosted by Michael A Taylor
We have owned property in Crystal Beach for over a decade. Prior to Hurricane Ike we owned three beach houses, Taylor's Treasure, Lazy Daze and At Ease. All three were total losses after the storm so we decided to purchase property in the Texas Hill Country but we missed the beach.
Why they chose this property
We missed the Beach but we weren’t sure we wanted to build from scratch so our realtor for over 10 years, Kelli Untermeyer with Cobb Real Estate found this hurricane Ike survivor with no damage from the storm. We added 800 square feet and made it a 2 story beach house. So we are 1500 sq. ft. inside and 1200 sq. ft. of decking with great ocean views with a short walk to a large family friendly beach.
What makes this property unique
We are blessed to have a home in the Texas hill country and the Texas gulf coast to enjoy with family and friends.
