About this house rental
Million dollar 360° views in the daytime and beacon lit at nights make the Beauty and the Beach™ beachfront lighthouse one of the most unique and romantic getaways in Crystal Beach and the whole state of Texas.
Living area can comfortably accommodate 8 adult or up to 14 guests using bunks and sofa beds. Huge outdoor area, 150 ft of private beachfront and no neighbors on any side make it a rare gem chosen by many for their weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries.
Lighthouse is located right on the beach with buyout lots on both sides, so you and your family will enjoy ocean and nature in a very private environment. The house is built on the wooden stilts and elevated quite well which gives you amazing views from almost any window. As a bonus it will give you a feeling of a treehouse during stronger winds.
There is a hot tub with scenic ocean view, a heated outdoor shower to rinse after beach activities and a box with beach chairs, umbrellas and other complimentary beach gear for you to use.
Using stairs is a must to get in and out of the property, but for an extra $100 per reservation fee we can grant access to an elevator (included in event fee if you book us for a wedding).
Beauty and the Beach serves also as a wedding venue for up to 200 ceremony and reception guests. Wedding package has to be paid separately at our site www.crystalbeachwedding.com.
Lighthouse beacon is programmed to turn on at dusk. You will have no access to the beacon or lighthouse maintenance room.
There is a little bedroom in the lighthouse tower. Because of the unique architecture of the tower it's a little small, but fits queen bed and enjoys the best view. It is also the warmest room in the building because tower design makes the warm air go up. If temperature is not comfortable enough, there is a back-up option to use pull-out sofas in the living room.
* Free parking outside. No access to covered garage as we keep maintenance items in there.
** Decor and furniture may change and exactly the same design is not guaranteed.
*** You must be over 25 years old to book the place. Ratio of 1 adult over 25 to every 3 guests under 25 is required. Parties not allowed. Pets are not allowed. Please keep this place clean and romantic.
**** We are on a septic, please use water only as necessary. Water heater is smaller too, so please avoid excessive showering.
***** Bugs play a significant role in the ecosystem of the Texas coast, which is distinctly different from the inland areas. Although we engage the best pest control provider on the Peninsula for regular, comprehensive services both indoors and outdoors, and also consistently apply pesticides to the lawn, we're nestled amidst vast stretches of untouched nature. Consequently, you'll likely encounter many common Texas bugs. These include but are not limited to: Mosquitoes, Fire Ants, Cockroaches, Fleas, Ticks, June Bugs, Lovebugs, Brown Recluse Spiders, Black Widow Spiders, Yellow Jackets, Honeybees, Carpenter Ants, Mites, Lone Star Ticks, Centipedes, Cabbage White Butterflies, Dragonflies, Damselflies, and Gulf Fritillary Butterflies. This location is for true nature lovers!

The location of the home couldn't be better. Beach access is a walk downstairs and over the dunes. The property itself is very accomidating for a small to large group of people, and setup for guest entertainment with the variety of ammenities and social locations offered. It's also the perfect getaway for a romantic couple when needed. We will be staying here again!

Our family had a great stay at Beauty and the Beach. Being able to walk directly onto the beach from the house instead of having to drive was well worth it. Loved the views and comfortable seating in kitchen and living room. Communication with host was easy and always quick responses. One of the best things about this house is the gazebo. You can enjoy the ocean view from the shade and still keep an eye on the kids at the beach. We traveled with elderly parents with knee issues, so paying extra for the elevator was a must for us…although the elevator does seem a bit old and makes you wonder if it is safe at times. It did work, but sometimes it seemed to stick on one floor or another when we tried to retrieve it. we never had serious issues with it and no one was ever stuck on the elevator, so it served its purpose. We had seven in our family and there was plenty of room. We originally planned to have 14 and had we had everyone, it would have been crowded with only the two bathrooms. As long as you know that ahead of time from the listing and pay attention to the bed layout, the house does accommodate 14 as listed…just not a ton of privacy if that is important. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again at Beauty and tue Beach.

We were very impressed by the hosts here at Beauty and Beach Lighthouse. Stephanie was so great, very accommodating. The staff that assisted us were kind respectful and very helpful. The location was beautiful and the experience to stay at the Lighthouse was enjoyed completely by the honeymooners! Every part of the house had charm and the views were spectacular. Thank you so much for an amazing wedding venue.

We stayed a week with friends and found a wonderful church, many nice close real resturants, traveled thru Galveston by ferry to the new Webster Chicken n Pickle, also played pickleball in Beaumont and Port Arthur. Groceries, hardware, gas were all convenient. We rode bikes and enjoyed the beach. The property and host were exceptional. Its such a special type of place we were compelled to take many pictures to help us remember our stay.

I will admit, mosquitoes were heavy and it was humid BUT despite that, we had an unforgettable wedding. The home was perfect to accommodate my husband and I along with the wedding party the day of. Our ceremony and reception was under warm lights and surrounded by wild flowers. The property owners were on the SPOT when I needed a quick response. I can’t thank them enough for they’re kindness and consideration for our needs the day of and after. They even manicured the lawn the day before and sprayed for mosquitoes. The home was EXTREMELY clean and had plenty of kitchen utilities. ALONG with that, they had tons of wedding seating, tables, decor, and a speaker system to accommodate for our small wedding.
We made memories on those lighthouse steps that will be forever remembered by our ancestors (as dorky as that sounds). I can’t recommend a more intimate and comfortable wedding venue/honeymoon home to visit than this one.
Thank you so much Host!!!

We had my wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful. Stephanie my wedding day contact was amazing! The crew was awesome as well! Really went above and beyond for us.

We hosted a small wedding for our daughter here and it was absolutely perfect!! Thanks so much!

This place was great! Going through the VRBO messaging system with the host, the communication was perfectand timely! All info was given prior to check-in and they didn't miss a detail. We also bought their #3 Wedding Package at a great price point. All staff showed on time and took care of everything. This place works perfect for a DIY wedding! We had around 60 people show and it was very comfortable. Plenty of space and easy access to everything. It's well isolated from neighbors so you can't hear them and they can't hear you! I would absolutely recommend this venue for your wedding.
With it being somehwhat isolated and accessible by ferry or one road from the east, we opted to use Tia Juanitas Winnie as our caterer. I highly recommend them also!

We loved this venue and it was the perfect place to hold our small beach wedding on Friday the 13th. Jim and Irene were both very accessible and answered our many questions quickly.
Besides the wedding aspect, the house was nice, roomy, and had many amenities that were helpful. It stayed nice and cool and the view was spectacular each morning. The elevator was immensely helpful in packing so pay the extra fee to use it.
For our wedding: the assistance team was beyond helpful and the three women gave us their expertise and knowledge to help us set up a beautiful reception and ceremony. The night was amazing and we couldn't have picked a better place to become wives! Will strongly consider coming back here in the future just for a beach stay.

We enjoyed out stay. Communication was outstanding. Questions answered very quick and detailed. Owner very helpful in planning our stay. My daughter was married here. The bridal suite was great. Plenty of room for bride and bridesmaid to get ready. Bridal suite lacked seating. Later we found out there are barstools in the closets marked so not open. Property was clean with comfortable beds. Appreciated kitchen cabinets being labeled. Event staff was the best. Very accommodating. The beach view can’t be beat. Was expecting a grooms room but it was more of a storage closet with no place for the groomsmen to sit. They waited in the living room since the bridal suite can be closed off from the rest of the house. Loved having the outside access to restrooms for guest. Overall it was an amazing experience.

There were a few minor issues (like having a slightly wrong code), but the host was always very quick to respond & resolve every one of them. We're very happy we chose this venue not only for our stay, but for our wedding. We would like to come back for our anniversary.

Beauty and the Beach light house review-
When we booked this house we were excepting the house to be as advertised. Shortly after arrival we noticed that would not be the case. The photos are not an accurate representation of what we were seeing. The landscaping is overgrown and the fire pit was a heap of stones with brush grown up around it, and no seating as pictured. The elevator layout was not safe. My daughter who is 8 months pregnant was having to use a flash light to walk up and down the stairs due to the outside lighting not working. When we contacted vrbo they admitted to knowing the lights were not working for a few months due to a lighting storm, but did not tell us ahead of time. We had multiple young kids and not being able to see while coming up and down is a scary situation. The hammock they have listed for use was no where to be found. The smoke detectors were beeping on and off after our arrival and Irene the vrbo contact said we could just disconnect them until after our stay if we wanted to. (Liability!) The living room couch was miniature sized, the house is supposed to fit X amount of people but the couch only held 3 children under 8yrs old. There was also mold in the kitchen and living areas at the air vents. For a beach front home with direct beach access we had high expectations but left seriously unimpressed. The listing needs to be updated to reflect what it currently looks like versus pictures from when the house was in its prime.

This was a wonderful place for a few night family getaway. Even though this trip wasn’t for a wedding, my youngest mentioned that she will consider this location when she starts looking for a wedding venue.
Communicating with the host was very easy.

We held my daughters wedding at this property and it was amazing. They allowed us to deliver the wedding cake before check in to put it in the fridge. The property manager was a joy to communicate with and was super fast to respond. We used the onsite sound system which was easy to set up and use. For the wedding they set up tables and chairs and put signs out to keep people from setting up behind the house so as to not disturb the ceremony. The cleaning staff was great and very accomodating on how we wanted the venue set up. Overall could not ask for a more enjoyable experience.
5.0
Beautiful property with an excellent location that provides a level of seclusion that’s difficult to find at Crystal Beach while still being close to necessities. Spacious rooms and outdoor areas, numerous amenities, and a gorgeous beachfront view!
Booking, check in and checkout was simple and hassle free. Clear guidelines and communication from host made for an easy and enjoyable experience!
Highly recommend this booking!!

We truly enjoyed our stay. Friends since elementary school came down to celebrate our wedding and we had a wonderful time. We played on the beach, we played games in the yard, we laughed and just relaxed for 4 days. The host was easy to reach and responsive to our questions in a timely manner.
The wedding day was perfectly beautiful and the venue staff were quick and efficient.
The weather wasn’t a concern at any time because of the under cover areas being spacious and clean.

We celebrated our daughter's wedding with about 70 friends & family at this venue. Everything was beautiful when we arrived and the owner was wonderful to work with. He personally answered the phone and responded to our texts in a timely manner, so we were not working with a third-party company. We highly recommend Beauty & the Beach for anyone looking for a get away, reunion or a wedding!

Our family of 8 stayed here this past weekend and loved it! Not only was being in a lighthouse fun, it was also perfect access to the beach. Irene was quick to respond with any questions and very helpful. Can’t wait to book this place again next summer.

Beauty and the Beach is a great location on the Bolivar with open lots on both sides offering a great deal of privacy. The bed and couch were comfortable and the place was very clean. It is set up as a wedding venue, so there were not any books or games provided. So plan to bring those items with you.
We had a great massage by Vanessa in Crystal Beach which is ten miles from the rental (so is the Big Store). The restaurant scene was not very active with Stingaree closed for remodeling and Steve's Landing and the Ocean Grille permanently closed.
Being January, this was not totally unexpected, so we came prepared and enjoyed sitting at the kitchen island table eating the meals we prepared. With an expansive view of the Gulf Coast and not having to leave, we enjoyed the early sunsets. We've been to the Bolivar three times and this was our favorite rental. Next time, we want to rent the elevator:) thanks Irene
