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.

Great getaway

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.

Thus was a very nice place for a family to stay. Quiet neighborhood , great beach access!!

I will start off by saying, this was a great cabin for a family( below this I will address the issue that was not disclosed until we arrived and were all settled in). Cabin was clean, all amineties you would need, great beach access, deck gave you great view. Communication with owner was great ( except for issue I will address below ). ISSUE THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO US UNTIL AFTER ARRIVAL..VIA A SIGN PINNED ABOVE TOILET IN BATHROOM: THE SIGN STATED TO NOT FLUSH TOILET PAPER OR TRASH DOWN TOILET. So we call the owner to ask about this SIGN, he tells us no we cannot flush toilet paper and will have to put any toilet paper in trash bags and bring them to the trash after anyone uses the bathroom. Because his cabin has no updated septic system. For what we paid for this cabin for Monday thru Friday morning (well worth it cabin is just as described in owner description..minus the fact that during our stay you had to put your toilet paper in trash bags and take it to the trash cans each time) . I find it hard to believe this has not been addressed in any review. Reviewers have complained about the mosquitoes ( which is not the responsibility of the owner We live in SETX and your are staying on the coast.) But the owner does have responsibility to address not having a fully functional septic system before contract or payment is initiated. I did send a message after we got home asking him to address thus issue and that is where commutation halted to date. Yes , we did stay the week , yes we did the trash bags to the trash cans, would we rent this cabin again definitely..if the septic system was functional. My point this , should have been addressed before final payment was accepted. It was not like we could just find another cabin and stay there..plus we had paid in full for a cabin we thought was fully functional.

Amazing location!!!!

This location was simply perfect. A short distance to the Ferry. In a safe, quaint neighborhood which is literally two blocks from the beach! Everything was amazing and the kitchen came fully stocked. I cook a lot so that helped this mama out. I most definitely recommend this quiet little slice of heaven pn CB 😍🏖👒

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.
