Absolutely Awesome

House was very well organized and clean. Location was perfect. Host was amazing. All was exactly as described. We go down to Galveston every year for the Rally. This was one of the best trips. We were able to come back and relax at the house. Spend time at the beach and enjoy ourselves. Would recommend this place for sure. Will be getting in touch again next year.

Beautiful by the Beach

We loved our stay at the Crystal Beach Retreat! The house was gorgeous comfortable and so close to beach access. We highly recommend this house. We were a party of 7 and occupied all the bedrooms and beds. Our only complaint was the mosquito population due to the recent hurricane, which was mother nature at her worst! Loved the wrap around deck and out door seating on the upstairs deck.Will come back again!

Great location

Stayed with our 3 kids and brother in law for a little vacation and the house was large enough for everyone to have their own bedroom and bathroom. The house is only a few steps away from the beach and the porch gives great views of the ocean and the breeze. There is a large kitchen with made it easy to cook a few meals. The home was well cared for and had one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on.

Great House!

What a great house with a great location just steps from the beach and the view from the amazing wraparound porch of the beach was perfect. The inside of the house is gorgeous with all the amenities. The house had all we needed to really enjoy our stay. Definitely a house we will enjoy again in the future.

WONDERFUL home!!!!!!! Perfect beach access!

This home is perfect for your beach getaway! They had the comfiest beds and pillows, very organized (light switches are all labeled), spacious, very clean, and plenty of bathrooms. We absolutely loved the outdoor shower and sand spout as you walk upstairs! Saved us from a ton of sand getting in the home! Great seating on deck to enjoy the view! Highly recommend staying here!

Hidden Gem!

Wow! What a hidden GEM, especially to those of us wanting to treat ourselves to a time of luxury! In a solitude; but best of all, a safe and secure neighborhood with the friendliest of people found anywhere along with local restaurants that will compete with any of them anywhere!

Great weekend

We love the layout of the house. It would have been nice to have some of the outdoor amenities that was needed. Also, we had to purchase toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags.

Amazing Stay - read why.

If you are on the fence on this house - I’m telling you, it’s the one. Firstly this house is right on the water basically. 2nd row with no house in front of it. We took a golf cart of course to take little kids back (1yo - 7yo) and forth from beach to house but it’s so close it’s literally not needed. I love the fact that every room has a bathroom connected. That’s huge when we had extended family staying together. Take it from me, after hours of searching, it’s hard to find. Also 2 king bedrooms was a huge find as well. This house was literal perfection. Jenny was a dream to work with. I never felt like a both. She was so personal and down to earth. I’m raving because no trip has been easier. Last thing - so behind a house there is a whole 2-3 vacant lots covered with nice grass. Our kids road their four wheelers there all week. This place had it all. Thank you Jenny!! We will be booking again for next year within the month forsure. BOOK IT!
