Papa Ric's Happy Place

Find your happy place under the sun at this incredible Crystal Beach home! Boasting glittering gulf views and an ideal location just steps from the sand, this dreamy retreat is primed for carefree coastal living. A waterfront lawn deck offers sun-soaked lounging, while the shaded patio beneath the house offers a breezy spot for alfresco dining. There's even a gas grill provided for home cookouts. The main deck features covered and open-air seating areas. Anglers in the group can fish directly from the surf or book one of the many local charter services for off-shore excursions. When you want a break from the beach, cruise down to Fort Travis Park to tour the fort and learn about the area's military history. From there, you can catch the ferry over to Galveston. After the day's adventures, rinse off in the home's handy outdoor shower.

The living room welcomes indoor downtime with plush seating and a smart TV. The bonus room can double as a happy hour lounge or a daytime office, with features including patio sofas, and a built-in desk. Plan and prepare family-style meals with ease in the well-appointed stainless steel kitchen. A wet bar is equipped in the dining area for added convenience. Home essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.

It was a nice house. The cleaning crew could do better. Being pet friendly the carpet needs cleaning or be removed. We would return on our next vacation.

Felt like home.
If I could rate 10 I would. As soon as we drove up to the house, the location was perfect. Walking in was a breath of fresh air. Perfectly decorated,enough space, everything we needed Incase we forgot anything. Covers , pillows,dishware,spices etc. Even some history of the home and how special it is for the owners was left for us to read. We felt very welcomed. We have stayed at other rentals homes that have been wonderful,but something about the way this one made my family and myself feel was special. We celebrated my husband's birthday there with kids and family. Thank you for the wonderful experience and memories made. :)
