Wonderful property! Listing is perfect, great for a single family or could easily accommodate two families. Host was super easy to get a hold of and answered every question we had.Beds were super comfy, bathrooms excellent. House is far enough away from the beach that the traffic isn’t bothersome but close enough that the walk is super easy (minus the mosquitoes! But that’s not a property issue, it’s a coastal Texas thing! - bring som me bug spray.)Overall 5/5 would definitely stay here again!

The stay was excellent! The property was very nice, clean, and well maintained. One of the things we really appreciated was that the cabin provided beach chairs and other beach equipment, which was incredibly convenient and saved us from having to pack or rent everything ourselves.The home is located on a dead-end street, so there was very little traffic and it felt quiet and safe. The property is also fully fenced, which was a huge plus for us with kids. They could play outside and enjoy the yard without us having to constantly worry about them near the road.Overall, it was a great place to stay, especially for a family. The location, cleanliness, amenities, and fenced-in yard made our trip much more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again

Impressed enough to stay here again! We’ve been coming to the Crystal Beach area for many, many years. We both agreed this house is the most convenient rental we’ve ever stayed in. Very clean (except a few places), I cleaned them & moved on. Lots of pots & pans (in total disarray), got what I needed & moved on. House was very comfortable, including the beds. Everything worked as it should, A/C, all kitchen appliances, ceiling fans & washer & dryer. Very quiet cul-de-sac. This house was also the sturdiest house we’ve ever stayed in. Had zero wobble or shake. If Gods willing, we will definitely be back next year!

Thank you so much for your review. I would love to know what areas you had to clean so I can pass this on to our housekeeper. I’m so very sorry the pots and pans were in complete disarray. It drives me nuts every time we go stay there. I do not understand why people can’t put things back like they found them.

This was our first time renting a beach house and we were not disappointed at all! The house was beautiful and came with so much extra stuff like beach toys, plenty of chairs, umbrellas for the beach, and even a wagon to carry it all! The fence around the property allowed us to let the children play freely with no worries at all. The host was very easy to communicate with and always responded fairly quickly. I will definitely be renting this house again because it was perfect for our family!

Lovely home, excellent hosts

The home was just as pictured. Great morning walks on the beach. Quiet neighborhood. All amenities listed were present. Very clean & smelled fresh. Comfortable furniture. Two types of mattresses in the guest room so choose the one to your comfort. The hosts are incredibly nice & highly communicative. Will definitely return when we're able. This was our first experience with an online house rental & they made it an easy & excellent experience.

This home was perfect for our family of 4. It was bright and airy and super clean. The home was stocked well with all of the necessities. The hosts were super helpful and very kind. It is a quick 2 minute drive in a golf cart to the beach. It is situated on a pretty bare cul-de-sac so there was no through traffic and the kids were able to play basketball safely. It is fully fenced which we love.
