60th Birthday

Place is nice, except, Island cabinet door hinge broken and door hanging. Bathroom cabinet door missing. Bedroom door hard to open. AC not keeping the house cool during heat of the day even with probably unit. Turned itself off daily, had to reset it 3 times on one day. Sat in one of the chairs outside and one side came apart almost fell out of the chair. Outside TV did not work. Saturday afternoon the temperature in the house was over 80 degrees.

Great location!

Arrived on Friday afternoon, checked in & went right to the beach, it’s so close! Stayed at the house til checkout Monday. House was good & had enough space & beds for all. Stairs to get to other 3 big beds was difficult for adults, so had to sleep elsewhere. Overall, the place is a great location, roomy, plenty of outdoor seating, parking for multiple vehicles or golf carts. The price for the weekend was great for the size & location! Would rent the house 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.

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, 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.

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!

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 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.

Super short walk to the beach

We had a party of 10 and was comfortable. Well stocked withe cooking items. The amenities are terrific and the downstairs to grill and hang out was perfect. Shaun was in contact when the power went down for several hours and checked in again when it came back on. Great price for the rental, great access to the beach, all around 100% what we needed. We are avid VRBO renters and this one is the best by far. Also, super cool free ferry ride from the island to Galveston and back. Wait times can be a little long, but once you drive on, get out and see the dolphins and feed the birds from the back of the boat, so worth the wait.
