Great place to stay!

This beach house felt like home away from home. Well stocked with kitchen pots, pans and utensils. The sleeping spaces were cozy but left plenty of room to move about. Property owner was easy to communicate with. We would stay here again!

Great get away spot while staying close to home!

We loved the location of the house and how very comfortable it felt; it had everything we needed! We only brought groceries for a couple of days and went out to eat during the other days. Walking distance to the beach was a definite plus; spent lots of time on the beach and it was fun! No beach crowds; it was a very relaxing and enjoyable visit! We plan to come back!

Quick, last minute get away

We booked just a few days before our stay. The place was exactly as it was represented. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach was a short walk. Check in and check out was an easy process. I had a question about towels and the owner got right backbwith me. It was the perfect size for a party of 2! We would stay again.

This was our first visit to Crystal Beach and we will definitely be back. The house was perfect for our family. We loved the wrap around porch for morning coffee. The house was very clean when we arrived. The owner always had quick response with any questions I had. We will definitely be back! We already miss it!!!

Fantastic Stay!

My wife and I go to Crystal Beach every year with her family and this has been our best stay yet. The house is a short walk from the beach and the owner was very helpful and was easy to get in touch with if anything was needed. Would definitely rent this house again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Blue Sorrel LLC, managed by Francisco and Elva Gonzalez

Host profile image
This property is owned by Blue Sorrel LLC but managed by previous owners. This home was purchased 3 weeks before hurricane Ike, We rebuild this cottage after the hurricane, and used it for several years. At this time, we have decided to share the cottage with families who are looking for a quiet beach get-away. We recently remodeled the bedrooms with new furniture and bed matresses.

Why they chose this property

A peaceful vacation cottage for a single family who enjoys the different beach activities.

What makes this property unique

Crystal Beach at the Bolivar Peninsula offers a unique location away from the crowded vacation resorts so you and your family can enjoy a peaceful vacation. At night, enjoy star gazing and/or making s'mores by the beach.
