Just one house separates you from the beach at this casual, comfortable, elevated home overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in Crystal Beach. You'll spend your days swimming, strolling on the sand, and taking part in all sorts of thrilling watersports, with a spacious deck awaiting to welcome you home each afternoon.

Ascend a flight of approximately 20 stairs to reach the front door from the under-house parking area, and stop to admire a lovely view of the beach and the gulf waves from the sun-splashed deck. The air-conditioned living space is all on one floor, offering lofty ceilings with fans to circulate the cool air, tile floors, and large windows that frame your coastal surroundings. The great room combines a comfortable sitting area with two sofas and a flatscreen TV, a dining table with stools for six, and a polished kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an island with bar seats for two. The main bedroom suite has its own flatscreen TV, a private bathroom, and balcony access, while one of the guest bedrooms has direct access to the outdoors as well.

What's nearby:
This home sits just a few steps from the soft sands of Crystal Beach, with the open stretch of sand beginning just one house over. Up the road in the other direction is State Highway 87, which is home to a number of restaurants, eateries, conveniences, and attractions, including the Crystal Beach Community Golf Course just over a mile down the road. The Galveston-Bolivar Ferry is only nine miles west as well.

Things to know:

I like the Vacasa app. Easy to book with. The home on the other hand was a little less than we thought it would be. We expected WiFi and the password we were provided was wrong. One of the porch lights was out. The outside stairs light was out. And one of the bedrooms door handle to the back balcony didn’t have a lock and neither did the bedroom door in the same room. There were also roaches. No one ever showed up to replace bulbs. And never heard anything about the WiFi after contacting a couple times.

Meh
Served its purpose as a place to sleep the pictures are deceiving this is a small home beds are super uncomfortable there were roaches in the dishwasher and floors hadn’t been swept before we arrived. When we showed up there was a man inside the home said he was repairing stuff but this was at 430 our check in time was 4 and no one let us know someone would be in and out of the home. The internet was horrible and could never connect so while it wasn’t horrible horrible and served the purpose as a place to sleep we wouldn’t book it again

Would never stay here again
The location of this property is fantastic! The views are great, and the property has good bones. That is where it ends. The table in the kitchen could fall apart in a stiff breeze. No bedside tables, the blankets are paper thin- stayed in the winter. The mattresses are HORRIBLE. The bunk bed mattresses are little springs wrapped in a plastic covering (if you have kids and end up in this bed with them- I’m sorry- bring advil!). The kitchen pots look like they came from a garage sale- totally ripped up. The couches are in terrible shape, so bad that there is plywood under the cushions. The exterior light- well we didn’t find that light switch until day 2, and that was only for the stairs and not the front door area. We were traveling with my elderly parents, so poor lighting was dangerous. There isn’t any type of book/guide to the house- no information beyond the general online listing. We didn’t go there to watch Tv, but since tv and WiFi were listed as amenities, would have been nice to have. Rent at your own discomfort!

This property was just what our family needed for a weekend getaway. We found potholders were absent and they would have been nice to use while cooking. Overall we had a great time!

Great location
This house is in a great location! It took us 30 seconds or less to walk to the beach. The beds were standard beds. They weren’t luxury, but they didn’t keep us up at night.

Nice little beach house 👌
It was good, could use a table on the deck to go with the chairs, and both bathroom shower drains need to be cleaned out. water would back up while you shower due to VERY slow draining. And the front door lock does not work very good with using the key. Other wise nice little beach house.

Great but lacking
Location was excellent. Clean for the most part. Unforuntely, lacking in furnishings and clean seating areas. The beds were absolutely awful. Giving it 3 stars mostly for the location.

Great location poor service and roaches
The location of the house is 5 stars however we saw multiple live roaches in the kitchen, hallway and one of the bedroom. We also booked with understanding of spotty Wifi. However there was apparently NO Wifi, no router. I notified Vacasa of these issues and was asked to”submit photos”….I asked for clarification of how I would submit a photo of no Wi-Fi and explained the roaches are alive and scatter when you get nearby. Plus, I don’t think I should have to spend my vacation chasing roaches to photograph them. Either way, I was told local office was notified and would help with both situations. When I circled back on the situation I was given the same run-around or had to start from the beginning on the unchanging roach and Wifi situation. It was incredibly frustrating and not a single thing was done to check on our situation all 3 days.

Great location, but needs repair!
The location was great, 2nd row and could walk to the beach. The house didn’t have a covered porch so when it was raining we couldn’t sit outside. It needs repairs… the tub in the master bath doesn’t drain well and the hand towel racks are broken. There is no decor. It needs a flip, a complete remodel, looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while, and looks ran down. It was clean, but kind of disappointed with it.

As described.
This property is just as described. The decks gave great views of the ocean, which is only a few steps away. The big drawback for us was how long the wait is at the ferry. Basically, a few more amenities would be appreciated too: a few more towels and definitely a box of Kleenex!
