About this house rental

This beautiful canal front home in Laguna Harbor is very comfortable and relaxing! It is located on the Bolivar Peninsula on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. You can watch the ships pass on the intracoastal waterway and see the dolphins swim in the canal! You don't have to go far to fish... just cast your line from the boardwalk directly behind the house! The beach is a close drive away & so are all of the great restaurants on the peninsula. The house is very close to the Bolivar/Galveston ferry as well for easy access to tons of activities, historical sites, shops, entertainment & restaurants!

The interiors are wonderfully furnished. Rustic architectural features, including heart pine floors, exposed rough cedar beams and trim and shiplap ceilings, are a nice contrast to the clean design details. The 3rd floor is a large open room that includes the family room area, breakfast area, kitchen and powder bathroom. The full kitchen has a long island bar to accommodate many dining guests. The kitchen plan is open to the family room & wet bar and is perfect for cooking while you visit with your friends/family.

But... the best feature of this house is the nature at your doorstep! There are 4 porches with wonderful views of amazing sunrises over the canal waters and sunsets over the bay! There is an unobstructed view of Bolivar’s scenic natural preserve and the intracoastal waterway from both downstairs & the 2 upstairs decks. You can also enjoy the spectacular view of the starry clear night sky.

The Downstairs has an open air courtyard that often gets a nice breeze off the water. There is a charcoal grill in the courtyard & a table and chairs in the covered living area making these outdoor living spaces ideal for cooking out.

This is our home and we have equipped it with anything that we might want during our stay. We love it here and find it very peaceful and relaxing. We hope that you will do the same!

We had a good time. The house was clean as usual. Anyone renting this place will not be disappointed. The views are as you see on the pictures. The fishing was unusually slow. The Host was very accommodating as usual and responds quickly to answer questions.

This is our 2nd time staying in this house in the past 6 months. This time we had my sister from CA come. We had an absolute amazing time. Only 2 things were the Keurig did not work nor did the outside lights going the whole way down the whole row of the 3 houses so we always walked to the right of the house and down to go fishing at night. But overall an awesome time had by all. We will of course be back.

Great for 'kid fishing'

Great for 'kid fishing'

The kids has a great time catching fish after fish after fish. They caught a few blue crabs too, and we got to see a dolphin only about 10' from the seawall. Location is isolated and we pretty much had the nearby beach all to ourselves. Fantastic place to stay if you want a quiet family vacation especially if your kids (or grandkids!) like to fish and hang out at the beach. Missy is a great host and her helpful replies are always only a couple minutes away.

Great quiet location on the peninsula!

Great quiet location on the peninsula!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Nice house, great location away from all the crowded "beach houses". The setup on the canal was perfect for the guys to fish right off the porch and boardwalk - especially after their fishing captain canceled their bay charter. We even saw dolphins while sitting out on the balcony! The kitchen & living room area was fantastic. And the elevator was a life saver! Missy was a great host! We will definitely book here again.

overall it's just a ok house without surprise. we have me following situation 1) only a trash bag provide for 3-nights stay for 6 people 2) no toaster provided 3) a big cockroach(1 inch) show up in the master bed at night - two seniors had to fight with it for a hour 4) living room A/C almost had no way to lower the temp to 75F when outside about 90F 5) too old sofa bed with a big spot of unknown stain on mattress. 6) first level lights off (broken) - house issue and all street lights off(broken) along the canal bank - community issue

Love the property!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The owner was very responsive to any and all questions. Location is quiet, right on the water and the views are great! Having the small elevator proved to be a life saver for my husband who has some knee issues and also made bringing groceries up a breeze. It is close to the ferry, so it was very convenient to drive aboard and head to Galveston. Close to beaches, The Big Store, shopping and restaurants that make Crystal Beach a great vacation spot. Hoping the owner will update the sofa sleeper mattress for future guests as it was quite flat at the time of our visit in July 2018 . We did not use the sofa as a bed but with the other beds and cute sleeping nook, we were well accommodated. Overall, we loved it and if we can, we will come and stay again! Thank you!

Outstanding Rental Experience

Outstanding Rental Experience

This waterfront retreat home at Crystal Beach is amazing. The home is beautiful, inviting, and comfortable. Our family was so impressed by everything. From the large open space layout of the living room, dining area, kitchen and long kitchen bar eating area. The many windows to receive natural light and views of each floors patio areas off the living room and master bedroom were exceptional. The comfortable plush beds were a dream. The bathrooms are spacious, with showers in each, and the master bath's jacuzzi tub is so relaxing after a day of touring the island. The patios offer a wonderful relaxing and inviting area with quality and sturdy outdoor furniture to enjoy the views and watch the boats and ships pass by on the canals. The kitchen has a gas chefs stove and oven which we used to prepare quiches for breakfast and warm up evening meals. The air conditioner was cold and worked great for the hot July days and the ceiling fans were quiet and felt so good. The best part about this retreat home was the concrete back deck to the canal for our boys to fish from dawn til dusk. They caught so much fish and had fun with finding out what type of fish they would bring up from the ocean canal. Even watching jelly fish swim around the canal was interesting and educational to watch. Overall we can not say enough great things about this rental home. And the owner, Missy, was exceptional. We highly recommend this home to anyone wanting a spa like retreat with a beautiful tranquil and quiet vacation area. Thank you Missy for sharing your amazing home with our family. Ali Marshall
