Thank you so much! We’re so glad you loved your stay and felt at home. We’d love to have you back anytime — it’s always a joy hosting guests who enjoy the house as much as you did. If you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway, we’d be happy to welcome you too!
Our family greatly enjoyed this beautiful beach house. We had everything we needed and more! The beautiful décor and all the little extra's made our stay that much more enjoyable.
We had so much fun seeing our grandsons exploring and playing on the beach!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!
Tony, Susan and Family.

It was our great pleasure hosting Tony and his family. They were fantastic guests and we hope to see them again in the future.
We celebrated Christmas away for the city and although most of the restaurants were closed we came prepared and made it our home and enjoyed the accommodations as our own without a feel of needing something. we had a Merry Christmas
Everything was exactly how it showed on the listing and helped to create an incredible vacation for my family. Great location in the third row of houses from the beach (2 minute walk), with a good view of the ocean from the house. The kids loved the arcade games and oversized connect 4 game! Kids were never bored. House was clean and fully equipped. Location on the Bolivar Penninsula is close enough to basic supply stores, but far enough from the overcrowding of Galveston where you can take a nice ferry trip to and from the hustle and bustle. Overall, an excellent house we would choose over and over!

Thanks, Nicolas! We’re so glad your family had an amazing stay. The quick beach access, ocean views, and games are guest favorites—awesome to hear your kids loved it! We’ve just added an outdoor ping pong table too, so even more fun next time. Hope to have you back soon!
This house was a great house for a family trip to Crystal Beach. The house is well thought out and included plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses, games, etc. We like to cook at home and certainly had everything we needed to do so.
The owners were ready to communicate with. The cleaners were still cleaning when we arrived, but the owners offered us a late check out for the mix up.
The luggage lift was so nice to have. We were glad we didn't have to carry everything up and down the stairs. It made getting our bags and groceries upstairs so much easier.
Would recommend!
I was a little nervous about taking 10 kids on vacation by myself, but staying here made it so easy, comfortable, and fun! The walk to the beach was literally 5 minutes; if I had had to drive each time, I don't know that we would have gone near as often!
The house was clean, tastefully decorated, and comfortable - I was so sad to leave the bed and pillows! The coffee bar was a great hit with my teens, and the kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook a full meal in.
Neysa and Billy thought of everything, right down to laundry detergent. I had 10 kids with me, 17 down to 9 months, and there was nothing extra we needed. There were tons of beach toys for the kids to take every day, a beach wagon to get it all there, beach towels, and even aloe for those of us who forgot to reapply sunblock!
Neysa and Billy were also great with communication - prompt and kind. Thanks for a great stay! We hope we can make it back sometime!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Location is great. Communication very fast. View is beautiful. Thank you for providing hand soap many owners do not. Unfortunately the cleanliness was a serious concern. There was dust on the fans, one had only one speed working, dust on windowsills, tables, floorboards, stairs and kitchen cabinets. One vent in restroom was extremely dirty. Trash left under the bed and on the table in the living room as well as outside.Listing explains a downstairs restroom which is great since I am disabled. Unfortunately it was not clean and full of beach stuff making it hard to enter. There are broken and rotting boards around the place which are safety concerns. Upkeep doesn’t appear to happen unfortunately.Listing also explains there are storage containers for food and black towels for makeup removal. There were no storage containers and one single black towel. The kitchen utensils need to be replaced. No sponge to wash dishes.

We’re glad this guest enjoyed the location, view, and our communication. Concerns were only shared the night before checkout, after two nights in the home, and without photo documentation. We always welcome feedback and remain committed to providing a clean, safe, and comfortable experience for all our guests.
The beach house was beautiful, and the fenced in yard was a huge plus with our two young kids! The property was so clean and had everything you would need to have a perfect stay. The coffee bar was a huge hit with our family and the lift made bringing luggage and groceries to the house so easy! The only issue we had was absolutely nothing to do with the house itself, but that I didn’t pay attention to the beach access for a ATV side by side.. we ended up having to trailer to the beach but it all turned out great! We absolutely loved Salt and light beach house and it was so perfect for our family vacation, so so beautiful! Thank you for letting our family have a great time making memories!!
Hello, I am Billy Crosby and my wife and I have been married for 25 years and have 3 wonderful kids who keep us busy. We met while attending Sam Houston and we got engaged while visiting Galveston Island.
We love soaking in God’s creation whenever we get the chance and we are truly honored to have the opportunity to share that with you.
Why they chose this property
We love this quite laid back neighborhood, with large lots, and a great view of the ocean. The neighborhood has private walking and golf cart bridges to access the beach.
What makes this property unique
Our home in Crystal Beach is in a quiet neighborhood with a spacious lot and fenced in yard. We love soaking in the ocean view while sitting on the deck or balcony and listening to the waves crash against the shore while enjoying the ocean breeze.
