The Crabby Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Escape to the Bolivar Peninsula, between Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, at this superb family-friendly home with a furnished, ground-level patio, large balcony, and plenty of room for everyone in your group, all just a short walk from the beach. This home also includes a deluxe, full kitchen with high-end appliances and a breakfast bar plus an open and airy living area with a large sectional sofa and high ceilings. Outside, enjoy the sunshine on your furnished balcony or head down to the lower-level patio where you'll find an outdoor kitchen, counter seating, tables and chairs, and a cozy porch swing for lazy afternoons.

What's nearby:
Conveniently located near State Highway 87 for easy access up and down the peninsula, this secluded Crystal Beach home is just a short drive and a fun ferry ride from historic Galveston (15 miles). Nearby, all along Highway 87, you'll find friendly bars, restaurants that offer take-out, shops, and even a small grocery store where you can pick up a few essentials during your stay. For a little fun, take the whole family to the very casual, nine-hole, Crystal Beach Community Golf Course, just a mile away. Or take a short stroll and find yourself on miles of sandy, Gulf Coast beaches.

Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Up to two family dogs (20 lbs. max.) are welcome
Central air conditioning
Outdoor shower
Snowbird-friendly

Great TX Vacation Home
The Crabby Cottage is a great vacation home. Very clean and comfortable. Also a great location close to the beach. And near good restaurants and the Big Store. Loved sitting on the big front porch. I would definitely recommend staying here and would come back again.

Great little find.
Overall, a good size for our family of 4. A nice central location on the peninsula, and quiet. Beach isn’t to far to walk if your up for it
