This was a girls trip. The house had everything we needed. Views of the beach & the ocean from inside the house to sitting on the porch were wonderful. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Ranch Azul again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time at this particular homeWe love the view and the home is nice. Maintenance needs to fix some things and the deck should be refinished. But the beach is the beach. We will stay in their properties again. We had family from out of state and this was their first exposure to Texas beaches. They loved it.

Worth every cent! Great home and location! Very comfortable! Knocked off a star for check in only because you have to pick up/drop off keys at their real estate office down the road. Also, plan to purchase the linen package or bring your own linens! Other than those quirks, I’d rent this again in a heart beat!

A Magical New Year's Eve!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We celebrated New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in Crystal Beach, and this property was more than I could have asked for. The photos online truly don’t do it justice. Being just steps from the beach was both beautiful and incredibly convenient.The kids were able to pop firecrackers, and we built a small campfire on the beach to roast s’mores, which made the experience even more special. The home has plenty of space for everyone, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need.I highly recommend this property and can’t wait to stay here again!
