Peaceful Getaway

My family and I had a great time getting away and we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet that came with it. The house had everything we needed during our stay and are happy we booked it.

Our New Favorite Crystal Beach House

5 STARS!!!! Inwould give 10 if I could. My family and I recently stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday. Everyone had an awesome time!! First off, the place was very clean and the location was perfect. I am talking a 2 minute walk to the beach. You have a great view of the water and you can hear the waves at night, that's how close we are talking. The description was completely accurate. The kids loved the game room. My wife and I enjoyed the hot tub. Our dog loved having a fenced in grass yard to run around in. The check in and out process was very simple and easy. They literally have everything you need. We had no issues and the communication from David was quick during the check in and out process. We have been down to Crystal Beach about 6x now since we moved to TX 3 years ago. And this will now be our spot. We had plenty of room for the four of us and the pup. You could have plenty of room even with another family of four. It was a great trip. I highly recommend!

Waiting on response from owner.

The location and beach house was nice but it came with some uninvited guest. We had several encounters with cockroachs even after we sprayed the whole house with bug spray. On day four we decided to cut the trip short, messaged the host(no response), packed our bags, cleaned up and left. We still haven't heard from the host to at least refund our security deposit and texted and called the same number I used before our stay. We're currently waiting on a response from Dave and our security deposit.

We loved the sound of the waves and being so close to the beach. The house was beautiful we really loved the hot tub down stairs. Our host was very nice and helpful. We plan to go back in the future. We had an amazing time the local people are very nice and helpful. We would highly recommend the runaway beach home for wonderful relaxing vacation. We had an excellent stay and already looking forward to our return.
