"I have stayed at this owner's properties a few times. Just like always, the house was clean and comfortable. A minor concern (sticky door lock from the salt air) was handled immediately with quick, clear communication and a personal visit. The owner even personally reached out when a severe thunderstorm would be coming through to warn us. My only advice is to use the mosquito spray they provide and follow the owner's directions for use immediately. The house is on the beach, but the grassy dunes have mosquitoes. (And lots of happy frogs!) The mosquitoes are not so bad on the upper porch, though. I appreciated the streaming services available. Any pots or pans needed were there, as well. I also loved the showers! I want to buy a similar fixture for home use now. Crystal Beach is a comfortable, safe, and friendly little coastal town. I have never had an unpleasant visit. If you want a "busier" experience for a day during your trip, Galveston is only a short ferry ride away, but we always find plenty to do on the peninsula. I can't wait to go back!"

"Had a great time, across from Crab fest, I like the renovation on The reason rooms. "

"We brought our 11 month old on his first beach trip and the house had everything we needed. The beach is extremely close to the property. You have the option to drive or walk. We did the 1 minute short drive. We came on this trip after heavy rainfall and there was no high water, but lots of mosquitoes on the island as a whole, so bring bug spray. It really helps. I’d recommend this property to families of 3-4 or 2 couples! It was great for our family of 3."

"Really enjoyed it. The only one problem we had there was the commode chain broke and I tried to get together but could not get to stay."

"We enjoyed our stay in this cute and clean home! They had all the necessary pots and pans for cooking meals & had both types of coffee makers. It was obvious they care about taking care of their home!"

"We had a great time."

"House was right off of Crystal Beach main entrance. It was well maintained, plenty of everything. We had ten people and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortable. Would consider renting again if we were in the area."

"Great location!!! The floorplan is great for entertaining large groups of people and retreating back to quit space alone. The immaculate attention to detail brought the outside beach vibes to every space inside. If you're wanting a turn key home away from home, this is it!"

"Saltwater Inn was quite a surprise. Reading the reviews, I was a little skeptical. I was even a little wary when I first arrived, due to its rugged appearance. However, don't judge a book by its cover. The office staff was extremely welcoming, and the room was pristine and comfortable. Although the decor is minimalistic, I had all the essentials I needed and then some. Thank you, Mike et al.! I highly recommend Saltwater Inn without reservation."
