"I have stayed at this owner's properties a few times. Just like always, the house was clean and comfortable. A minor concern (sticky door lock from the salt air) was handled immediately with quick, clear communication and a personal visit. The owner even personally reached out when a severe thunderstorm would be coming through to warn us. My only advice is to use the mosquito spray they provide and follow the owner's directions for use immediately. The house is on the beach, but the grassy dunes have mosquitoes. (And lots of happy frogs!) The mosquitoes are not so bad on the upper porch, though. I appreciated the streaming services available. Any pots or pans needed were there, as well. I also loved the showers! I want to buy a similar fixture for home use now. Crystal Beach is a comfortable, safe, and friendly little coastal town. I have never had an unpleasant visit. If you want a "busier" experience for a day during your trip, Galveston is only a short ferry ride away, but we always find plenty to do on the peninsula. I can't wait to go back!"

"The location was great for us and we enjoyed the updated furnishings in the house."

"We brought our 11 month old on his first beach trip and the house had everything we needed. The beach is extremely close to the property. You have the option to drive or walk. We did the 1 minute short drive. We came on this trip after heavy rainfall and there was no high water, but lots of mosquitoes on the island as a whole, so bring bug spray. It really helps. I’d recommend this property to families of 3-4 or 2 couples! It was great for our family of 3."

"We enjoyed our stay in this cute and clean home! They had all the necessary pots and pans for cooking meals & had both types of coffee makers. It was obvious they care about taking care of their home!"

"Perfect place for a family with lots of kids who don’t want to worry about overly decorated spaces and breakables. Large couches and beds with lots of space for cozy lounging , conversation , and hanging out."

"We stayed here for a weekend getaway with our friends and loved it. The house is so cute with plenty of room for everyone. The patio downstairs has everything you can think of to keep everyone entertained. Everything was very clean and Dave & Emily communicated exceptionally well with us. Highly recommend!"
