About this house rental

The Crystal Wave is a beachfront bliss on a 0.7 acre land with panoramic unobstructed ocean view! It is right next to a paved beach access road in a quiet residential neighborhood. Romantic walks on the beach are right out the door, or run the kids ragged on the beach all day then sit around the living room on the comfortable couch, or relax at the end of a 'beachy' day watching gorgeous sunset from the screen-in porch!! Large, wrap-around deck on the main level is the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful unobstructed view and listen to the peaceful sound of the waves.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. With a split-bedroom floor plan, the house offers maximum privacy even for a large group. The main portion of the house has an open kitchen/living/dining area, the master bedroom with ensuite full bathroom, guest bedroom#1 separated from the master bdrm by the living area, and a common full bath (with washer and dryer). The guest quarter, separated by a breeze way from the main quarter, features two more bedrooms (guest bedroom#2 and #3) that are separated by the third full bathroom.

House has a limit of 16 guests (adult and children combined) during anytime of the stay, not just for overnight guests. No events or parties allowed. Nightly price is set for 6 guests. Additional guest fee ($50 per person per night) will be added for groups more than this limit till the maximum of 16. Guests must indicate your exact number of guests at booking and the quote will reflect that.

House trained dogs and cats welcome (pet rules applied). A fee of $100 is required for EACH pet per stay. If you indicate pet at booking, the platform automatically adds the pet fee for ONE pet in the total. If you have more than one pet, let the owner know after booking and additional pet fee will be collected.

The master suite has a king-sized bed and a rollaway twin bed stored in the walk-in closet. The master bedroom has a wall of windows with gorgeous ocean view. Guest bedroom#1 has a low-profile twin-over-twin bunk bed, perfect for small kids and adventurous adults alike. Guest bedroom#2 has a queen bed and a full-over-twin bunk bed, sleeping 5. Guest bedroom#3 has a queen bed and a full-over-full bunk bed, sleeping 6. All bedrooms have windows with beach/ocean view and ceiling fans.

The living/dining area is open with direct ocean views from all six windows. Vaulted ceiling gives you the breezy feel even inside. Kitchen is spacious, with granite counter, a large island, and a window to watch birds and beautiful sunset. The living area opens to a large beach-facing deck with a direct and unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. The deck is partially covered so that you can enjoy the outdoor breeze and ocean view within the shade for as long as you'd like! Additionally, there is a large screen-in porch at the front of the house that has a partial beach view and is perfect to watch sunset.

The ground floor is the entrance space where we put beach chairs, toys, canopy, and a Weber 22-inch master-touch charcoal grill for guests to use. It also has a second refrigerator.

We provide everything you would need to feel like home! All beddings are provided for the beds that you would need -- sheets, pillows, pillowcases, and quilts. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap, and toilet paper are stocked in each bathroom. Four smart TVs in the house. Family-size refrigerator and electric range with convection oven. Two coffee makers, one traditional and one Keurig. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutting boards, non-stick pans of different sizes, baking pans, pyrex baking dishes, cooking utensils, plenty of plates, cups, glasses, silverware, and napkins.

The house is about 7 miles from the ferry and 5 miles from the Big Store.

Our cancellation policy is firm in all circumstances. Renters are strongly encouraged to purchase trip insurance from HomeAway or Vrbo directly to protect their trip.

Early check in or late check out is subject to a fee (exact amount depending on your requested check in and check out time) and it is only possible when the house is not booked the same day.

House has exterior cameras on the ground floor for security monitoring. No cameras inside the house.

The Crystal Wave is managed and cared for by its owners who love Texas beaches and shores. Check out our popular, 5-star, breach-front house in Galveston (https://www.vrbo.com/1630239).

I was disappointed in the condition of the beach house. There was evident damage from Hurricane Beryl such missing shingles, a hole on the upper side if the roof siding, a big hole in the screen and a portable AC unit was installed in master bedroom. I sent email to owner before scheduled visit asking about beach house condition and she replied that there was no damage. I felt that the above items listed present a safety violation and want a refund but the owner refused. I have pictures to submit as proof of damage and plan to discuss what th Better Business Bureau.

My husband and I wanted to get away from our busy lives and decided to go back down to stay at the Crystal Wave before school gets out. This was our 3rd stay at the home and everything was just great, as it’s always been!

Our family of 6, 2 couples, 2 singles, all adults, stayed for 3 nights to celebrate Thanksgiving.We really enjoyed the location. The house was beautiful with wonderful decking and lots of windows. We had some problem with starting the dishwasher but was helped in a timely manner by our gracious host. Our only complaint was that the 4th bedroom just didn't work for a full sized adult. The bunk beds would be great for kids though. Overall, we really enjoyed being out at Crystal Beach!

My parents, my husband and I and our three dogs stayed at this beautiful residence. The view is breathtaking and amenities impeccable. I particularly appreciate the fact that our four legged family members were allowed to stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better time!

The property was in overall good condition and clean. We had a perfect view of the ocean from the deck as well as from multiple rooms within. There was easy, quick, walkable access to the beach from the front door. The house itself was well appointed and met all our needs. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Host was super nice! No problems with the house other than some AC issues, but host installed a window unit in the guest room area which gave us no problems. House is as advertised and no issues at all. Tip: Rent a golf cart from a local place. Most will to delivery/pickup- this is a great way to get on and off the beach right there to the house. Would stay here again! Crystal Beach is wonderful. Highly recommend Donnay's Donuts and The Big Store is right down the road for all your grocery store needs.

We stayed over the July 4th week with our family and it was perfect. Unobstructed ocean view and direct beach access. So peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of room for all of us and they provided everything we needed. We came prepared but if you forgot anything it will be there. Loved this property!

Loved the location of this beach home. The location and access could not have been better. Loved the huge porch, the upgrades to kitchen and bath. The owner was onsite at check in, personally inspecting a minor issue with the A/C and made sure it was handled quickly.

We brought our 2 adult kids and their families and had the best time. This home is beautiful and the floor plan, with separate guest bedrooms and bath, was awesome! Large corner lot and steps from the beach! This home is simply, glorious!

This is a great house with prime location on the beach. It comes fully stocked with several pleasant surprises, compared to some of the other Galveston/Bolivar area VRBOs we’ve stayed at: kitchen pans and tools in great condition, shampoo, body/hand soap, nice supply of paper goods, towels/beach towels/nice linens. The indoor stairwell is awesome if you have dogs like we did, in that you’re not having to worry about gate latches, etc. The split layout with breezeway separating the main sleeping areas is a great idea for multi-family stays. We loved it here and would come again!

Our kids from Washington flew in and stayed with us. My 80 year old father as well. We had an exceptional time. Everyone enjoyed the beach, and the decks were amazing. We brought two very large german shepherds with us, and the only down fall for them was having to be leashed at all times. We would recommend it to others and will look for it in the future. Thanks for loaning us your home, we loved it!
