All the bedrooms on this level can be closed off from the great room by the pocket doors – fantastic for privacy and sound muffling.
TOP FLOOR-If you liked the views on the Main level, wait ‘til you see them from here! This floor has the second King sized Master suite with luxury bed linens, a huge ensuite bath of double vanities with Carrera quartz countertops, walk in shower with bench and Pharmacopia bath amenities. This suite has a very large closet with ventilation that accommodates play pen, crib or full size blow up mattress. According to parents of children who like total darkness to sleep, this is the best room of the house (and far from other house sounds)! My 2 year old granddaughter power sleeps in this place!!
More sleeping space on this level in the bunk room with double on the bottom and twin on the top. Adjacent to this room is a full bath with shower/tub, step stool for small ones, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and large thick and thirsty bath towels
Between the 2 bedrooms on this level, a separate living area has ginormous TV, Keurig coffee bar and electric tea kettle, small fridge, futon seating/bed and leads to the top deck with its miles in every direction views and sitting area. Watch the sunrise, coffee in hand, in your bathrobe. Ahhh
BEACH DECK – Enough with the inside, let’s get to the real reason you are coming here – OUTSIDE!! Enjoy a glass of wine on this mainlevel beachside deck. Here you’ll find 2 dining tables (under covered areas), 4 super comfy adjustable chaise lounges and 4 Summer Classics spring chairs. All so comfortable. Just steps from the kitchen, be part of the action even if you need to keep an eye on the stove. From this deck, descend the beachside dramatic flared stairs, which also make for a great place for group photos.
SUNSET DECK – Accessible from the main level Master suite or from the full walk around deck, take your beverage of choice here to watch daylight fade and the incredible Texas Gulf Coast evening sky jump to life. Ahhh inspiring sunsets! You can even see the barges on the Intracoastal from here.
GROUND LEVEL – The Covered carport (parking for up to 4 cars, plenty of room uncovered for the rest) leads to the garage via its side door or beachside garage door. Here you will find all the beach amenities – chairs, tent, sand toys, boogie boards, ice chests – and the piece de resistance – THE MANITOWOC COMMERCIAL ICE MACHINE (makes as much as 120 pounds per day depending on outside temperature). Guests say this is the real game changer!! This machine makes small, clear cubes – great for ice chests and wonderful for drink ice. The Club Car 6 seater golf cart resides here, alongside the kids’ John Deere drivable car (both available for rent) and the 2nd refrigerator/freezer. At the beach? Gotta go??? Half bath with toilet and sink is in this garage (truly also a game changer!)
Want to BBQ? You have choices – make a fire in the copper firepit that has grates for cooking (removable for just a fire) or roll out the Chargriller smoker/grill combo.
THE BEACH - From here, take a meander by foot past the golf hole and flagpole down the groomed path to the beach. As you go, glance at the prickly pear cactus, ice plant, cat tails and seagrape. These along with sea oats and other Texas native dune plants, help the dunes to maintain and grow and help prevent beach erosion.

The house was just as listed except so many extras. The house was very clean and tons of room. The house has everything you could possibly need for cooking anything. The downstairs garage had lots of chairs, ice chests, and anything else that was needed. The ice machine was a huge bonus. There is an extra refrigerator in the garage that we used to store extra drinks. There were tons of beach chairs and regular chairs. The outside shower was great. It has hot water so our grand kids could take showers there. The lift was nice to carry up luggage and groceries. The owner was very attentive and easy to get in touch with. We will definitely stay in this house again. The area is very quiet and not busy. We were worried about traffic on the beach with the little ones but there wasn’t much at this part of the beach.

My family and I loved the large spacious home with its great views. The downstairs ice machine was very convenient, and we appreciated the gas stove which is a rarity. The access to the nearby golf cart bridge made beach access with our rented golf cart a breeze, and there was a walk path available for quick access by foot. We took advantage of the spacious front yard and brought our croquet set which was a lot of fun. We also appreciated the timely response from the owner when we had an issue with the front doorknob which was resolved quickly the very next morning. Overall we loved the place and had a wonderful vacation.

Lovely property. Mosquitoes were vicious. Upon arriving at the property our cars were covered immediately in mosquitoes. We turned right around without getting out and went and got some bug spray for us and the yard. The first couple of days was pretty hard getting to the beach without getting eaten up. We love the property would definitely come back.
6.0 / 10.0
Pros: Beautiful and quiet location. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, fireplace beautiful and amazingly warm. Plenty of bathroom linen. Property manager quick to respond to concerns/issues.
Cons: There was an awful foot/mildew smell in the whole house and a thick layer of dust on all of the shelving (primary bedroom downstairs and living room especially). When we arrived we had to scrub the kitchen counters and dinning room table - there was a thin layer of grime. We had to push the dining room table away from the kitchen counter to make more room to walk through- only to find a bunch of dust/dirt and live silverfish underneath. The property manager was quick to respond to our concerns and offered to have their cleaning service return the next day, but because it was Thanksgiving eve and we had already done our own cleaning on arrival we passed- to avoid the hassle/stress of packing and moving our belongings- with more family expected to visit/join us for the holiday. There are cameras INSIDE of the home (we didn't notice any outside of the property)- which we thought unusual for a rental. The rugs throughout the home are very worn and dirty.
As mentioned in another review this home has so much potential, but definitely needs some TLC and a deep cleaning!
10.0 / 10.0
The overall stay was pretty good and the communication with the property manager was also good. The access to the beach was really easy and the cabin was stocked with everything that we would need during our stay. I would definitely recommend to a friend or stay at this place again for another trip.
6.0 / 10.0
Lovely home BUT defintely needs a some TLC. When we arrived we found trash in the fire pit which consisted of empty beer boxes and some bottles. A few cigarette butts on the grounds in the grass. Missing light fixtures on the back deck (not bulbs - entire fixtures pictured in photos gone) with wires exposed. Back deck rather dark at night. Stained bedspreads in 2 of the rooms downstairs. We removed linens on beds and washed them and there were long hairs under the covers. Several light bulbs out in lamps and in the bathroom light fixtures. We replaced on our own but prop manager did offer to send someone. We mopped living room ourselves on arrival because of dust. BEWARE there were 2 cameras INSIDE the home 1 in the living room and 1 in the upstairs open area. We unplugged and turned both around to be sure they were not on. Will report to VRBO. A knob on the master bath spa tub was missing with just a pipe exposed. Did not use. Inside kitchen draws dirty and some of the utensils need to be replaced. Have photos. Trash can lid broken off can in the kitchen (or it was removed and not replaced). This could be a 5-star gem with just some attention to detail and TLC. I want to leave an HONEST review so others who care about such things can be accurately informed. If you don't care about these little things you will be pleasantly pleased with the property, room layout, view and location and the to die for sunrises and sunsets.

Property is beach front with easy access to beach and awesome panoramic views from both levels of the house.

Absolutely amazing property! Hate to say anything to keep secret amongst those who have found it already. 3 nights not enough, God willing we will be back for at least a 5 night stay

The beach is easy to get to and there were few people on this stretch. The house was clean and the bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. Everyone had a great time.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful beach house. We had 10 people, ages 87 to 8 and everyone enjoyed themselves. Easy beach access and great views. The on-line description and the property itself all matched up with the exception of the check out time…online says 11, check in/out docs say 10.
Just a few notes, not negative, but things that are helpful…
* If you have one, take your own tent/canopy. Fortunately we took ours. They did have one but it had be damaged at some point and was unusable. However, I truly do not think the owner knew.
* Chairs are provided and they are great, but are mostly low beach chairs. If you have someone who cannot sit low to the ground, be sure and take your own chair.
* Be sure and take extra paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing pods and laundry detergent. They do provide, but not enough for a long stay. There is a great little “everything” grocery store on the island.
* Owner was very accommodating and quick to answer when we needed to reach out.
* Lift fee is $150 to use. I didn’t see where that was noted as an extra charge when we made the reservation, so it could have been my over site. Highly recommend you rent it and use it.
* Golf Cart - worth every cent. Rent it!
I would highly recommend this beach house and location. We made incredible memories.

Great location, nice beach area, spacious, most everything you need for a beach vacation. House needs a few honeydo’s but our family has a trained eye for that. Our line of work. Overall great time and would stay there again. Shirley was a great host. Thanks for our memories.

Your property was set up great. You really could go in more deal of all that you offer for the beach ....wow....all those extras were wonderful to have. We didn't realize you had all those beach chairs. The golf cart was soooo very useful. I would say a must too have. The only thing I would add for your guest is a playpen. But who know you might have had one we just didn't look hard for it. Thank you for the opportunity to get to stay in your home. It was a vacation house to remember.

Not only is the beach and sunset views beautiful, this house is beach ready.
Owner was fabulous with details and communication.
House accommodated our group well, especially with 5 bathrooms!!!
Quiet area of the beach, but not far from the busy part. Great location if not wanting to be in the hustle & bustle.
Would stay again. 5 stars.

We had a lovely time. We loved that the house was ocean front. That made things so much easier. It was in a nice quiet neighborhood. The kids had fun playing in the big yard. Shirley was a great help.

We loved our stay here. Our group of friends goes to Crystal Beach every year with our kids to have a little get-away for spring break. This property was by far our favorite. The land & beach access are what sets this one apart. The home is nicely kept & has a beautiful master suite. The guys chipped & putted golf balls for hours in the backyard, the kids ran back and forth from the beach to the house and played, and mommas laid out on the balcony & read (when it wasn't too cold!). We will be back!

Fully stocked beach house. Communication was excellent.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was amazing and being so close to the beach was fantastic! The kids enjoyed playing games in the yard when we took a break from the beach. I felt over packed because the house already has so much to use, with ice maker and chests, kids sand toys, lots of chairs, etc. Also enjoyed being able to rent the golf cart and not worry about dealing with delivery or pickup. Shirley was extremely responsive and helpful, We will be back for sure!

house was awesome, golf cart a must and ice machine a huge bonus!!!!! 11 family members for 5 days and no fights.....plenty of room to relax on the different decks!!!

Me and my family have been coming to Crystal Beach for several years now and this is by far the best property we have stayed at. If you appreciate a good bathroom then you'll love this place. I have stayed at homes where the property was nice but the bathroom showers were dingy and dirty. Not the case here. Bathrooms and the entire house were immaculate. Very well kept. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need and then some. The golf cart was a nice bonus to have on the property at our disposal. Plenty of room for my family of five. I almost don't want to leave a good review because I want to keep it secret for my family. We had a wonderful week and we can't wait to go back next year.

This home had everything we needed. Directions were great and there was lots of room for everyone. Right on the beach and easy access for tons of fun. Lots of extra amenities like beach toys, chairs, umbrella, etc. It was exactly what we needed!

Had everything covered
Anything you'd want or need for your stay this house has you covered! Clean. Great layout and location. Awesome amenities and extras.
The only thing was we had to provide our own trash bags, even though the check-in paperwork said one would be provided when we got there. This didn't affect our trip but something of note I shared with the property manager and didn't get a response on.

Crystal Beach Rental
Very nice complete well furnished home. Very comfortable. Didn't find the "Blue House" we were looking for ?? Ha Ha maybe an updated exterior picture would be nice? Maybe inform the guests on the Web page of the need for charcoal & starter-found the info in the guest book. A hand mixer in the kitchen would be nice addition. Some of the motion solar small lights on both stairwells are not functioning. We found a couple of small protruding nails from the siding finished exterior walls that we drove back into the walls. Loved all the Christian books you had on your bookshelves. The idea of the golf cart was a nice addition, just couldn't justify the $450 cost for 2 days of use. We hope we aren't being to suggestive - we do hope you continue to offer your home again next spring season - we are looking at returning in the May -June timeframe. We really do compliment you on the exceptionally nice home you own !!! On of the best homes we have rented during our yearly family trips to the coast.

Love this place
If in doubt about booking here…do it. It’s perfect. This was the best vacation we have had. The golf cart was the icing on the cake. Only suggestion would be for all rooms to have a tv. Definitely will stay again.
