Experience the Gulf Coast’s best-kept secret in this friendly Crystal Beach home. The whole home is bright and airy with gorgeous hardwood floors and huge windows, and an additional charcoal barbecue for grilling up dinner. Our favorite part? The backyard firepit for s’mores making!

Get the whole crew together for an adventure-filled getaway when you book this Crystal Beach home. Featuring an expansive deck and tropical ocean views, up to 10 guests (eight adults) can come experience the Texas Gulf Coast's best kept secret.

Less than a block from the picturesque shores of Crystal Beach and a short drive to popular dining destinations, this home surrounds you with possibilities for fun. Hop on the road and head to the ferry to take a historic 18-mile journey to the historic Pleasure Pier in Galveston. There, you can enjoy some sweet treats, or rent a kayak to explore the deep blue waters of East Bay. Head down to the beach for some time on the sand or take a tour of the lush landscape at the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.

Bright and cheery, this contemporary beach home welcomes you in with central air conditioning and plenty of room for everyone. Toss a load of dirty clothes in the private washer/dryer and then whip up a snack in the fully equipped kitchen. Then head out onto the deck to unwind with an ice-cold brew while you listen to tunes streaming over the free WiFi. You can use the charcoal BBQ to grill up dinner then surf the cable channels or watch everyone's favorite DVD. After the stars come out, grab your marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers to make some s'mores around the backyard firepit to end the perfect day.

Whether you're lounging on the sun-kissed beaches, tearing up the sand in your car (vehicles are permitted on the beach for a small fee) or hanging out with friends on the deck, this Crystal Beach home will make it easy to create wonderful vacation memories.

Great Location
The house was clean and ready upon arrival. Great location near the beach and several local stores. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. Master bedroom was very spacious and had plenty of room. The only minor issue was actually getting into the house on the first day. The keypad on the front door was broken so we were directed to a lockbox but our check-in instructions did not have a code to the lockbox. After contacting Vacasa support we were able to get the lockbox code, however the lockbox was empty! The local team was great and showed up shortly with a key. In all, we had about a 45 minute delay in getting into the house.
