About this property

2 Story Upscale Beachfront House With unobstructed Beach Views from every room.

Enjoy waking up from any bedroom with a view of the ocean. Have your coffee on the balcony of your bedroom or downstairs in a large den full of Windows with unobstructed ocean views. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs that share a balcony with an unobstructed view of the Ocean. The bedrooms upstairs has a wall of windows that face the ocean. You can just lay in bed and watch the ocean roll in with the brown pelicans and other salt air birds enjoying their habitat. There is a 4th bedroom downstairs. There are 3 full bathrooms 2 upstairs and 1 down. The large den Downstairs has a wall of windows that also has an unobstructed full view of the Ocean. The house is located in an upscale subdivision in Crystal beach. In Crystal beach you can rent golf carts to drive on the beach which is one of the many reasons I chose Crystal beach instead of Galveston.

Amazing weekend

We loved this house! It was perfect for our family weekend getaway. Conveniently located near The Big Store for groceries and supplies, and Stingaree Restaurant. The views are amazing, enough parking for everyone, only a few blocks from a golf cart rental, and the house itself is very comfortable and welcoming. We will hopefully be back.

Happy beach stay!!!

We totally enjoyed our stay at the Salty Lime! The views were awesome. It is a short walk to the walkway to crossover the dunes. We setup our beach site near to the walkway and were able to come back and forth to the house very easy. Our beds were very comfortable, A/C worked great and everything was clean and fresh when we arrived! We will definitely pick this house again to spend a vacation at the beach!

A little business a lot of relaxation!

We came to Texas on business but decided to make a mini vacation of it as well. We really enjoyed our time at “A Salty Lime”. The house was a perfect fit for our family and Renee was very responsive and hospitable. Very clean and the location was ideal.

Loved our stay, as usual!

Our extended family has stayed at A Salty Lime several summers now and we always have an amazing time. We range in age from toddlers to adults and it’s so nice to be close enough to the beach to head back to the house for naps, etc. as needed throughout the day. The setup allows us all to have our space within the house and enjoy the living space and large balcony on the first level together. We can’t wait for our next stay!

Perfect for a family get-together

A Salty Lime is a gem! Great location - you can’t get closer to the beach unless you camp on it. The views from the decks are gorgeous and interesting at the same time. It’s located in a quiet, family friendly community. Virtually EVERYTHING is provided with the house - all we needed to bring were our food and clothes. The host was very congenial and reachable. We hope to bring the family back again soon.

Nice, comfy stay

Overall, it was really nice. Comfy beds, great views of the beach. Truly a home away from home. Kitchen sink has a drip, and a few cabinets were loose. Nothing that interfered with enjoying the stay but noticed.

Girl Weekend @ Crystal Beach

Everything was there for a relaxing, memorable experience. Three generations of the females of the family spent a fun, carefree time together playing games, playing in the ocean, making crafts, reading books, taking photos and lounging on the verandas to our hearts content. We even managed a shopping trip in Galveston. Would definitely enjoy a return trip. Thanks so much for helping us make great memories.

Our Salty Lime Experience

A beautiful house at an amazing spot on the beach. We couldn't have asked for a better place. My family and I enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back next trip we plan at the beach. Renee was such a gracious host and made sure everything was as it was supposed to be. She even called to check on us and make sure we were having a good time. Our family vacation at the Salty Lime will be one we remember for a long time.

Family Vacation

Enjoyed the house!! The master bedroom upstairs has great views and big bathroom. We did have to take our truck out to beach with everything loaded in back so we didn’t have to make multiple trips. Well worth the beach tag(10.00) . Just make sure you take lots and lots of bug spray. The mosquitoes are out for blood!!!!!! Overall, I would stay again 100%!!!

Just perfect!

Not one complaint! Beautiful home with all the features and accessories you could possibly need....and a great view! Kitchen had all the dishes and utensils needed, the beds were super comfortable, we loved the outdoor shower. We enjoyed stargazing on the deck each night! Easy beach access and large covered area downstairs. Deck is gated and safe for pets and kids. Owner was readily available and easy to communicate with. We hope to return and we highly recommend this beautiful, big beach-front home!

Return Visit

This was our third stay at the Salty Lime. The house is perfect for large and small groups, everything you need is provided in the well stocked kitchen. The views from the decks are breathtaking. The gated lower deck allows for the family dog to enjoy the ocean air safely with no worries of them taking off after the occasional rabbit/wildlife which may pass in the yard. Renee is wonderful with any questions you may have. The salty lime is indeed beginning to feel like home, we will be back soon.

Amazing Get Away

Our family had an amazing time at this property. The house was very clean with up front views of the ocean in a great neighborhood. The lower deck was large & included a gate for the stairs ensuring safety for pets and children. The house was well stocked and has new appliances. I appreciated that it also had plenty of empty drawers & cupboards for our stuff. The beds were all comfortable which makes a huge difference in enjoying your vacation. The owner is very accommodating and communicates very quickly. Overall this is a great property, don't hesitate to book.

Great place!

They just don’t make places as close to the beach as this house! The view takes the cake, but everything about this rental was perfect. So many (comfy) sleeping options, fully stocked kitchen, kids beach toys, first aid kit, more than enough towels, laundry detergent, hair blow dryer AND straightener, every seasoning you could imagine, board games, I could go on and on… it’s cute, it’s clean, okay I’ll stop! I would recommend getting a golf cart because you have to walk around to get to the walkway and by then you could already be there via cart. I personally like to unpack my suitcase into dressers and luckily I got the only room with one. I would LOVE to stay here again!

Great Time at the Salty Lime

The cabin is in a great location, of course I checked it out before booking and it lived up to all the reviews. We did not encounter any problems with the wifi, had two lawyers working at the cabin, if there would have been an issue I would have heard about it. I grew up in Texas and always enjoy hosting family and friends at the beach. The space under the cabin gave us plenty of room for everyone. Back in Iowa now but already looking forward to a return trip. The walkover is so convenient, we set up our tents right in front of it and spent 8 hours a day at the beach. The A/C also worked very well. Thanks Reyna!!!

I RENTED THIS PROPERTY IN 2014 AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE HOUSE. THE LARGE DEN WITH A WALL OF WINDOWS OFFERS AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF THE OCEAN WITH ITS ROAR AND LOVELY ARRAY OF WILDLIFE.

What makes this property unique

CRYSTAL BEACH IS A VERY SMALL TOWN WITH FRIENDLY RESIDENTS. I PREFER CRYSTAL BEACH BECAUSE IT HAS A SMALL TOWN FEEL AND A MORE LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE.
