Great time by the beach

We have a large family and this beach house was very accommodating. Also, only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. The host was easy to reach. Next time we plan to visit the Bolivar peninsula, we will book with Changes in Latitudes again.

This was a wonderful family friendly place to stay. We lived the fenced in back yard for yhe kids. The beds were comfy. The water was hot. I wish the kitchen was a tad bit bigger but overall the stay was great! Owners were very responsive to questions and we were able to use the lift for my handicap dad. and

Fun with family

The house was well accommodating to our whole family. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. Every one had a good time. The only downfall was the whole peninsula lost power for 2 nights we were there.

Annual Family Beach trip - 2023

Great property for our large family of adult children and our grandkids. Beach access was an easy walk and there was a lot of parking for our vehicles including the golf cart that we rented. Kitchen was well equipped for our cooking needs. The beach in that area was very clean. We all enjoyed our week!

About the host

Hosted by Darrin and Susanne Ellis

Host profile image

Hi! We are Darrin and Suzanne, and we are passionate about the Texas coast. 'Changes in Latitudes' is more than just a rental to us—it’s a place for families to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with each other. We take pride in being responsive hosts and ensuring our home is fully equipped for a stress-free vacation. Whether it’s your first time in Crystal Beach or your tenth, we’re thrilled to host your stay!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Tidelands subdivision because of its perfect balance: it’s quiet and family-oriented, yet incredibly close to everything. Being on the 2nd row means you get the best of both worlds—stunning Gulf views and a much shorter walk to the sand than most homes. We also love that the neighborhood is golf-cart friendly and close to local favorite spots for fresh seafood and live music.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets 'Changes in Latitudes' apart is the layout and the views. Most beach houses have one 'good' room, but here, three of our four bedrooms open directly onto the upper deck. Waking up to the sound of the waves and stepping straight outside for your morning coffee is a game-changer. Plus, our fully fenced yard and pet-friendly policy mean the whole family—including the four-legged members—can enjoy the beach safely.
