Our stay here was absolutely perfect and beautiful. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond. The house was clean, stocked, and gorgeous. Beach is walking distance, the neighborhood is tranquil and we would not hesitate to book here again.
This was one of the best rentals we stayed in. Clean inside and out, communication with the host was amazing and the best time was had. We will be coming back for sure.
This property was exactly what we needed for our summer camp planning retreat! The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The beach was perfect for filming our pirate shots! The town had everything we needed from meals and runs to the store to pick stuff up, we lacked nothing. I highly recommend this home ! We had a great time!
This place was fantastic, clean, good location and comfortable for a large group. The host was very responsive only communicated what was necessary and never nagging in their communication. Leaving us to enjoy this wonderful home.
The home was beautiful, just like the description says. We had a great unobstructed view of the water and a beautiful patio to sit on and enjoy.The hostess Melinda was very easy to work with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner.Looking forward to be able to spend some time there again

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The Host was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and we appreciated her efforts to address our concerns during our stay. Unfortunately, there were several issues that affected our overall experience. The cleanliness of the home and some of the equipment could have been much better, and several times appeared to be older and in need of maintenance or a more thorough cleaning. The location was convenient, and the renting a golf cart as many others recommended, definitely made getting around more enjoyable. The beach closest to the house also had quite a bit of seaweed and trash during our visit, which was disappointing. Overall, while we appreciated the host's kindness and responsiveness, we would likely choose a different place if we return to Galveston.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind words about communication during your stay. I’m glad we were able to stay responsive and work with you while you were here. I sincerely apologize that the cleanliness and condition of some items fell short of your expectations. We take guest feedback seriously and use it to improve. We’ve already addressed several of the points you raised and continue to review and update maintenance and cleaning standards between stays.
Regarding the beach, seaweed and occasional debris are a natural occurrence along the shoreline that is outside any individual property’s control. It’s usually not particularly heavy but occasionally we do get a surge of it as do most beaches on the Gulf Coast. We understand it can be disappointing when conditions aren’t ideal, and we always hope guests are able to enjoy the beautiful stretches of beach in the area.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.
This was a wonderful stay. Everything was great from start to finish. The home was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. I would happily book again.
The house was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed and more. I especially loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The view was stunning. Melinda responded to every question I had almost instantly. If you’re looking for a great spot on the beach with beautiful views of the Gulf, The Princess and the Sea is your place!
The very best experience we have had at Crystal Beach. The location, the view, the layout, etc. exceeded our already high expectations. Notably, Melissa was very responsive to ensure we had a great stay. We cannot express how thankful we are to have experienced such a beautiful home.
We enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful. There is a few things that needs to be fixed, but the overall stay was great. Easy communications with the owner.
The host was very responsive to all of my questions. When I say responsive, I mean within minutes. The property was amazing, we will definitely return.
The Princess and the Sea is an absolutely spectacular beach house! Our entire group genuinely loved every second of our week long stay! We thoroughly enjoyed and utilized all 3 amazing beachfront decks, all 6 spacious bedrooms, the extra long dining table, the separate game table, the ground floor swinging chairs, the well stocked kitchen & laundry room, and the super comfortable living space! Standouts for this house were the hammock, the music system, the bunk room for all ages, extra frig space and the 2 ridiculously comfy recliners that we wanted to bring home with us! The house is perfectly located far enough away from the beach to enjoy every bit of the beauty without hearing the occasional beach traffic. This beautiful home at the beach truly helped make our stay extra enjoyable! A huge thank you to our host Melinda for all of her help and going the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed on our amazing vacation!
My family and I enjoyed staying at this property.......very, very nice and the location is perfect. Breathtaking views from nearly every room and the house is absolutely beautiful. Any questions were promptly answers by management.
I look forward to staying here again.
Beautiful propety, and so much space for everyone. The pictures do not do it justice. Well stocked, and was a great location. Will book again if I have the chance!
