The home was very nice. Great breeze while sitting on the porch relaxing. Short walk to the beach. Plenty of towels for the guest as well as beach towels for the beach.

Great Propery for a Short or Long Stay

We rented this property as a last minute anniversary weekend getaway. The host was very responsive and communicated very well. The location was perfect for accessing the main areas of the community and had great beach access. The property is fresh and updated and nicely furnished. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Great stay

The check in process was great. Code was given and everything was ready when we arrived. Home was close enough to the beach. It has helpful that there were some basic kitchen spices and fancy as well. Beds were comfy and every room had a fan, big plus

We absolutely loved our stay!!! Our Host Lauren was so friendly and helpful. We never have had a host to check on us during our stay to see if we needed anything and extended our check out time for us. I would definitely stay at this beautiful home again.

Comfortable, cozy, and clean!

Lauren is very nice and is excellent at communicating. Her beach house was so nice, tidy, and cozy. We really enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable there. She had everything there that we needed for our stay and provided plenty of fresh linens. We would definitely stay at her beach house again. My kids loved her variety of games and puzzles!

Great home!

We loved our stay for a family of 5! about 5 minutes or less walk to the beach. It was quite and clean area! It was safe and well appointed with all of the necessities. The home was very comfortable for our family of 5 with practically everything except food! We didn’t have to bring a single beach toy, wagon, chairs, towels, games, etc! Host was excellent and incredibly quick to respond. We had a lot of questions along the way and she did not hesitate! We loved our stay and will consider this property in future visits to our favorite texas vacay spot.

Giving this a 10

Five stars is just not enough for this beautiful property. As a professional chef I enjoyed how well the kitchen was appointed. I always travel with my own knives but they weren’t required. Having an island with electricity made cooking so easy. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels. It looked freshly painted. There were fun games on the shelves, two great tvs which we never even turned on. Great outdoor furniture. Good proximity to the beach. But best of all so so incredibly clean and fresh. Lauren is an amazing hostess and responded quickly to every need.

Joy was an amazing, gracious guest. She left my home spotless. I am so lucky as a host to have a guest like her. It meant the world to me to have a professional chef have such wonderful comments about my kitchen and amenities because my goal is to have the kitchen as a gathering place for families to make memories.

Lauren's property is well taking care of and spotless. Kitchen had every item you need for your stay. Beds are comfortable, rooms are just the right size and appliances made our lives easier with items like washer, dryer, dishwasher, ice and coffee maker. Plenty of games for rainny days and beach chairs and toys for sunny days.We did not spend much time at the balcony area. Found the seats too small and hard for us to sit for long periods of time and with the proximity of the neighbor's house, we decided to spend more time downstairs, where we found enough space for all guests to chat, eat and drink at the picnic table while kids ran around enjoying and admiring the beautiful pink skies of the Crystal Beach sunsets.

Simply perfection!

Lauren's home was lovely, well appointed, and had all of the essentials that you need for a home away from home. It is a wonderful perk to not have to tote kcups, dishwasher packs, laundry detergent, seasoning, oil, etc for a time away. These extras being provided were massively helpful! The home is wonderfully clean with new furniture, linens, and towels, tons of seating indoor and out. For us, the proximity to stingaree marina was critical (as we were there for work) and the nearness of both the liquor store and grocery were perfect. Unfortunately, we did not have time to use the hammock, beach gear, or outdoor shower but if I ever get back to the area, I will time my vacation around the availability of this home. 100% this home is in the top tier of rentals I have booked through this app! Thanks Lauren :)
