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.
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.

Reviewer Comments:
It was perfect, more than we expected and met all our hopes.No one needs anything more, nice, clean, fresh, the TV was the biggestfrustrations when we weren't outside and at night. Maybe a handrail and tiled bench in the on suite master bath and a fridge could use a new look.
Beautiful property, perfect for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. Two super minor things that would have made this stay even better 1) a coded door lock so that we didn’t have to juggle a key. One part of our family had the key while waiting for the ferry in Galveston for over two hours. Meanwhile, the others were stuck outside the house and unable to get in and change into bathing suits! Definitely poor planning on our part, but a coded door would be super nice. 2) The stairs going down below the house are quite steep (no problem), but they are extremely dark at night. No light spills onto them from the porch or under the house. If there was a way to install some light on the landing, that would help so much. Overall, it was absolutely amazing. Tons of the conveniences of home, comfortable beds, and they allow a pet 35lbs or under with a pet fee. Super fun little trip. I hope we can come back again in the future!
