Great house!
House is super cute and comfortable! The walk to the beach was perfect! Not too far at all! The only complaint was the RV pads across the street, making it very hard to get our big vehicle into our driveway because of how they were parked. The homeowner was fantastic with communication! The chairs on the upper patio and the washer boards downstairs were a huge hit!

Perfect house for our group of adults (nice having good size beds), but it would work for families too. The house is really close to the beach and the washout area. Everything was clean and functional, and there was plenty of space. We'd definitely stay here again!

Lovely Beach House
We had a lovely stay at this beach house. It was clean and well stocked. It was very close to the beach you can walk or buy a parking sticker and drive. There really was no downside. Would be nice if the deck faced the water. There are a lot of RVs all around, but that's just a crystal beach issue in general. The place has all the pots and pans and basics you could need. We cooked for several meals and even used the grill. It was a nice time and the beach house was perfect.

Lovely property! 5 min walk to the beach. The owners were very responsive when we had questions.
Had a great relaxing visit. Pretty beach decor, nice deck to lounge on, clean house, and well stocked. Not directly on the beach, but just a few minutes walk from it. Quiet beach compared to Galveston, which was great. You can get to Galveston via a free ferry, but plan ahead timewise.

What you see posted on the site is exactly and MORE than what you get. Beautiful, clean, new and provide so many household conveniences from the supplied kitchen, to some beach chairs, beach toys, hammock and board games. The host was super prompt in their responses when we got to the house. The Google Nest for some reason didn't reset correctly to cool the house, and the host promptly responded and immediately sent help. We are just appreciative of their help when we got into a jam and locked ourselves out of the house. The house was a brief walk around the block. We drove to the beach from the house because we didn't want to carry the igloos, umbrella and chairs to the beach. I felt like the house was my home because of the little knick knacks left there in the drawers just in case you forget to pack something. All the beds were nice, supportive, soft and comfy. Couches were clean and comfy, not worn out. There is a lift that is available for $150 for the duration of the stay in case someone cannot use the stairs. So very glad we decided in this last minute stay for the Labor holiday. Much thanks to the host and the cleaning/maintenance crew.

Way better than the pictures!
Most pictures on rental sites are taken at a particular angle to make things appear bigger and better than what they are. Not this place. It was one of our first vacation rentals that the home was much better and bigger in person. We loved it! Less than a minute walk to the beach, TVs in every room, Great speaker that you can Bluetooth too, extremely large wrap around porch with high quality viewing chairs, awesome for entertaining and family games, plenty of parking, location is right where you want to be, close to the Big Store (where you can find anything and everything), we could go on and on. You will not be disappointed, Highly Recommended! (I rarely write reviews, but this place deserved it!)

Girls Beach Weekend
Really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. It is clean, roomy, and functional. The upstairs porch/deck with the colorful chairs was our fav hangout spot. No complaints at all about the house, but the location, near a super crowded beach, is not ideal. The only road to the beach is narrow with heavy traffic. People camping on the beach left lots of trash. We modified our schedule and went early in the day for a better beach experience.

Great place to stay
If anything they might undersell the property in the description because it had EVERYTHING we needed and more. Check in was extremely easy and the house was just as it was pictured. The kitchen has everything you need and more to cook anything from a simple meal to a complex one. Plenty of outside games and sand toys are under the deck along with the sand shower. It rained a lot during our stay, but they had that covered as well. From the smart tv's to an abundance of games in the hall closet we never had a dull moment. Also, I would advise getting the cargo lift! That made it extremely easy to get all of our stuff in and out. Overall a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
