About the host
Hosted by Zane & Tracy
We're from DFW, we love this house and visit anytime we can! Hosting is amazing, we treat people the way we want to be treated and strive to make your stay as fun and comfortable as possible.
Why they chose this property
Crystal Beach is much quieter and slower than the Galveston beach. We love it for the privacy
What makes this property unique
The Beach is literally a few steps from the house! The fence is great for pups and kids giving you that extra level of peace of mind. Just go outside and enjoy the view!
