Mardi Gras Fun!

Our stay was just perfect. We came to Crystal Beach for Mardi Gras weekend. Kelly's home was so fitting for our group. That Ocean view for morning coffee or an afternoon Margarita was amazing. Just the sounds of the waves, soothes the soul. You will not be disappointed in this home.

Beautiful home and great location

We really enjoyed the home and the location was great too. The home is very well stocked, had everything we needed, and very comfortable beds. The porch was perfect for coffee in the morning and the patio was a nice spot to watch the Astros game.

The beds and pillows are so comfortable, and it has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous vacation. 5 star rating for sure! This will be our new go-to vacation spot.

Our favorite spot!

Our stay was extremely comfortable! We are a large family and we all easily fit. The home has an amazing beach view and is conveniently located to stores and a little coffee shop. The owner is so easy to communicate with and makes you feel at home. We have stayed here multiple times and are ready to go back!

Perfect beach getaway!!

Our stay at this beach cabin was nothing short of amazing! The cabin was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. Being just steps away from the beach made our mornings delightful—we enjoyed watching the sunrise over the ocean right from the porch. The location was ideal, offering both tranquility and easy access to stores. The hosts were attentive and ensured we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise!

Awesome Experience!

We booked an extended weekend trip for our children’s birthday and they had a blast! The location of the home is perfect for beach and local shopping. The beach views from the deck are top notch. There was an ample amount of space to accommodate our large group of adults and children and the beds were extremely comfortable. My 8 year old actually said she had “the best sleep ever” while we were there. I highly recommend this property as we had the best experience here.

The place is amazing, looks just like the photos. Very clean and has everything you need.

We enjoyed our stay! The place is beautiful and clean. The property manager was really kind, he called the day before our stay to introduce himself and to see if we we had questions. Due to horrible weather conditions all weekend he allowed us to check out later on Sunday, so that we could enjoy the sunny weather. I highly recommend this property.

Overall nice home with a good view

The home is very nice with comfortable beds and a great view of the beach. I will say the home is very well insulated because we had noisy neighbors and loud people on the beach, but when we went inside we couldn’t hear anything. Home is spacious for a large family.

Perfect Stay

Everything about our stay was amazing! The beach home is beautiful, well-stocked, and top quality! Kelly is great and was friendly, helpful, and easily accessible for the couple of questions we had. The location is an unobstructed, beautiful view of the ocean which made hanging out on the awesome porch so relaxing and enjoyable. We loved it! Thank you, Kelly!

Must Stay!!

The beach house was located in a great spot, walking distance to the beach and you could sit on the front porch and watch the waves. The house was very nice and clean, plenty of room for everyone to have space. The owners were very nice and accomadating. They checked in on us while we were there and was very quick with their responses. We will definitely be back next summer and couldn’t recommend it enough!

Beautiful

This is the first time my family and I have found an affordable beach home to rent this close to the water. This home was very clean and its set up beautifully. I can't say enough wonderful things about this home. We will be looking to book again for longer than a weekend this time. The elevator/lift was an amazing add on for my mom and uncle who can not climb stairs. Kelly was an amazing host and was there every step of the way if we had any questions.
