Great house for a group with kids. Beds are a little firm, pillows a little flat, and the ferry ride was a nightmare BUT! It was cold, clean and pretty on a hot summer weekend. The dock had great fishing. The kitchen and bathrooms all in working order with great wifi and TV.

I love this house!!
I love this house!!
This house is so pretty and in such a great location. The water at the back dock was a great place to fish with the kids and the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. Morning coffee on the porch is by far my favorite thing to do as well as horseshoes under the house. Money well spent and my family agrees!!

Beautiful home with some amazing sunsets seen from the deck. Just far enough from the beach to not have to deal with a bunch of rowdy people but within five minutes of the house.

Beautiful place, but still needs improvement
Beautiful place, but still needs improvement
The property was beautiful, but it getting ahold of the right person was difficult to say the least We were not familiar with crystal beach and didn’t realize the ferry was a minimum 1 hour wait to get from Galveston to crystal beach (port bolivar). The description lists all of the local attractions stating they are 4-9 miles away. This is highly deceiving because what they fail to mention is that it’s a 1 hour ferry ride to get to those places since they are all located in Galveston island. This does not mean crystal beach isn’t entertaining, but the listing didn’t provide any crystal beach attraction which made entertaining the family a bit more difficult. I tried to reach a property manager to speak with someone local, but that was another set of problems. We tried every way possible to reach a property owner/manager. I was receiving emails from Vacasa and VRBO as well as text messages from different numbers from Vacasa about my stay and there was a ridiculous amount of information on each email. I tried to contact the number listed in an email which directed me to a call center. First time I called the call center was to get an exception for my brothers dog. They never called me back. We went ahead and boarded the dog since we needed to hit the road to take advantage of our stay. The next day I called the call center to ask about the built in mosquito sprayer on the property which wasn’t working well. They said they would call me back. I told him the last person said the same thing. He reassured me that he was going to call the property manager very quickly and call me back. I asked if it was possible to contact them myself. He said it was against policy to give out that contact information. He said he would call within the hour. He didn’t. We called back later that evening and I spoke with an amazing lady who didn’t hang up the phone until she got me in contact with the right person! I finally received a call from the property manager, Gina! I was so disappointed that it took my entire stay to finally get to the right person, but my concerns were finally being heard! She explained the mosquito situation, but I forgot to mention that we were never given the code for the kayaks so we weren’t able to enjoy those! Honestly, we would probably stay here again since we know what to expect, but it was frustrating when you are paying nightly for a place and you’re not getting your concerns addressed during your stay.
