This was a girls trip. The house had everything we needed. Views of the beach & the ocean from inside the house to sitting on the porch were wonderful. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Ranch Azul again.

This is a nice place to bring the family. Swede's is easy to work with. The coffee pot had a crack in it and Swede's had it replaced later that morning. This was our 2nd time to stay here.

This was our second time at this particular homeWe love the view and the home is nice. Maintenance needs to fix some things and the deck should be refinished. But the beach is the beach. We will stay in their properties again. We had family from out of state and this was their first exposure to Texas beaches. They loved it.
The property exceeded all our expectations! My daughter's dogs had plenty of room to roam and LOVED their first trip to the beach. This place was PERFECT for our 4 generation

Loved this house. Would definitely stay here again.
Worth every cent! Great home and location! Very comfortable! Knocked off a star for check in only because you have to pick up/drop off keys at their real estate office down the road. Also, plan to purchase the linen package or bring your own linens! Other than those quirks, I’d rent this again in a heart beat!
We stayed there to celebrate my wifes 58th birthday. Beautiful house Amazing views. The place was clean and very close to many local resturants and just a ferry ride to Galveston. We will definetly use them again. I recommended them. We had a Great Time!!!

We had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. It was the perfect size for our group if seven. The linen package was worth it being a very clean service. It was an easy check in and check out. The house location was right on the beach with beautiful view of sunrise. Beach was very clean.

We celebrated New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in Crystal Beach, and this property was more than I could have asked for. The photos online truly don’t do it justice. Being just steps from the beach was both beautiful and incredibly convenient.The kids were able to pop firecrackers, and we built a small campfire on the beach to roast s’mores, which made the experience even more special. The home has plenty of space for everyone, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need.I highly recommend this property and can’t wait to stay here again!
Rancho Azul didn’t disappoint. From the amazing views, peaceful neighborhood, cleanliness of and well-stocked house, we absolutely enjoyed our time here. We’ll miss waking up to the glorious sunrises as well as the fabulous sunsets. ‘Til next time!Merry Christmas to all!!

Everything went smoothly with check in. The home is in a great location right on the beach. The layout is great and decor is beautiful. Also loved the big deck and covered parking. Kitchen has everything you need. Note that it has a coffeemaker that requires filters and ground coffee.
