About the host

Hosted by Richard & Erica Connor

Host profile image
My wife and I hail from Spring, Texas. We have been hosting on the short-term rental market since 2018 and love doing so. We strive to provide amazing experiences for our guests by offering worry-free stays. We go out of our way to ensure our homes are not just clean, but CRAZY clean! Neat and organized spaces and rooms are also never overlooked. We pride ourselves on our tasteful furnishings and décor (even our seasonal décor) and focus on comfort and a relaxing atmosphere. We stock our kitchen with everything guests would need to prepare a variety of meals. Keurig? Got it. Big stock pots? Got 'em. Dishware, glassware and utensils for the maximum number of guests? Yes, absolutely! And a great vacation getaway wouldn't be complete unless it can ensure a great night's sleep. Our beds aren't just comfortable, they're EXTREMELY comfortable - as is the bedding. So many of our guests have commented on how comfortable our beds are. We are constantly asked about what kind of mattresses, pillows and brand of sheets we use! It makes us happy to provide memorable stays for our guests and hope to continue to do so for many years to come.

Why they chose this property

With two elevated stories of living space, this home allows for incredible over-rooftop views of the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston Bay and the Inter-Coastal Waterway that other vacation homes in the area just don't have. It's westward facing orientation showcases incredible sunsets and if the weather is right, nightly fireworks shows from Pleasure Pier in Galveston can be seen. The breezes off the balcony are also amazing. We fell in love with this home as soon as we walked through the door and we're sure you will too.

What makes this property unique

Only 4% of homes in Crystal Beach have two or more stories and ours is one of them. Our third-story views above the rooftops guarantee incredible sights of not just the Gulf of Mexico, but also of Galveston Bay and the ICW (Inter-Coastal Waterway). Our home (and decks) face West, which guarantees sunset views that are the perfect ending to a day at the beach. All bedrooms are on the upper level while the living spaces are on the lower level. This is a great separation of spaces that single-story homes don't offer and our guests love. Our home also has direct street access to the beach. So many homes in Crystal Beach are either on side/canal streets or are located on streets without beach access. Who wants to drive out of the way just to get to the beach? Our home is 100 yards from the sand down a straight street. It's the perfect home for a great beach getaway!
