3 min walk to the beach! Arcade Games and Outdoor fun!

Wonderful location

The house is a short walk to the beach on a quiet street with easy access to the main hwy in Crystal beach. The house does have a portable ac/dehumidifier downstairs which is wonderful to keep the house feeling comfortable with how humid the air is. The half bath outside is not usable as the floor has a hole/weak spot, so we did not use it. The kitchen amenities are great and having the spices, salt, pepper, tea and coffee is above and beyond what any other rental we’ve stayed at in the area. The house is older so don’t expect a brand new house, expect a lived in well loved house. The beds are very comfortable, the amount of beach toys is great, and the space is perfect.

Had everything we needed. Great trip

The location of the property was great. It had everything we needed. The booking and check out process were easy. The property could use major updating, deep cleaning, and a few minor repairs. But overall was great for our needs and comfortable

Great Location and Fun Times!

We really enjoyed staying here with the family. A 3 minute walk to the beach was perfect. The kids loved to play the arcade in the living room when we had downtime. I had a couple questions at the beginning of our stay and Shaun was quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home by the beach

Beautiful home just a short walk from the beach. We loved the location and the hospitality of the host. If we were not outside enjoying ladder ball and the tiki bar, we were upstairs enjoying the pac man game. Great place that I hope to stay again.

Nice place

Host was very accommodating. Arrived in area early, reached out if could leave a trailer in the driveway so could hangout on the beach before check in time. He let us know the house was ready and could access the house early. Not many places would allow that.

Great location

Overall good stay. Had a few blips along the way that kept me from saying it was great. Location was great to the beach. Property manager was super helpful and extremely responsive. Property needed some updates and bathrooms were small for several people sharing.

Great location!

Conveniently located close to the Big Store for those forgotten grocery items, a very short walk to the beach, and tons of fun for the kids! My only suggestion would be to bring a hotspot for the TV outside. We used our phone hotspots to get the Astros games! Great stay and will likely use this rental again!!

Great location, with some flaws.

Honestly this property is pretty awesome. The house is located so close to the beach, and has everything you need for the stay. My family really only had an issue with the AC. It was above 80 most of the day, despite being set to 70. It didn’t get below 80 till 11 at night, and was back above 80 by 10a. If you don’t mind the heat this listing is phenomenal. It was too uncomfortable for us.
