Our upscale "front row" beach front home will comfortably accommodate a family, but it's also perfect for 3 couples traveling together, or for just a romantic getaway.

Divided into 2 stand-alone structures that are separated by a breezeway, the main quarters and guest quarters offer each guest the unique ability to choose between gathering in the main house for entertainment purposes or seeking privacy, rest and relaxation in the guest house.

Decorated with quality furnishings and fixtures, this house has granite countertops, custom cherry wood cabinetry, and beautiful hardwood floors that span the open-concept kitchen and living room, half bath, and master bedroom of the main house and guest house.

In the main house, enjoy your family and friends by gathering around the large 13X13 ft granite island and dining table, both seating 6. Sit in luxurious modern leather funiture and watch your favorite shows/sports on a large 42" SonyTV screen with DVD player.

The master bedroom with king-size bed has hardwood floors and a private large bath with lovely large tile flooring, a double sink vanity and a spacious walk-in shower.

Separated by the breezeway to ensure privacy, the guest quarters/area has 2 beautifully furnished bedrooms, each with queen-size beds. Both are joined together by a Jack and Jill bathroom with shower/tub. The washer and dryer is located in a separate room on the breeze way.

At day's end, grab your favorite beverage, put your favorite music on, and relax on the reclining outdoor funiture as the breeze blows over you. Enjoy the amazing sunsets on the sundeck, "catch a falling star", or just gaze upon the "man in the moon" illuminating the ocean's shore!

About The Owner

My wife and I were both born and raised in the Golden Triangle area. We bought our first beach home on this property years ago as a second vacation home. We made friends, enjoyed our family when they visited, and just loved being close to the sights, smells and sounds of the ocean. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ike took the house away from us- nothing was left except the property. Disheartened, many would not rebuild. But for us, we could not give up on the possibility of creating again what we had had before. And so this time we returned to build not only a home, but our dream vacation home. We find this home and all that it offers just amazing! We know that our guests will as well.

The Owner purchased this house in 2011
Why The Owner chose Crystal Beach

We live in the Golden Triangle area 30-45 minutes from this home located in Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula - 15 minutes from the Galveston ferry. We have been coming to Crystal Beach all of our lives for family vacations. We chose this property because of its short distance to the Gulf of Mexico. It has front row access to and an unobtructed view of the beach.

What makes this house unique

It is located 3 minutes from a large grocery store, gas, and church services.

It is located on the beach with a full view of the ocean.

We built a 240 foot wrap around deck and 96 foot covered deck to enjoy the view all day long.

Our favorite ritual is to drink our favorite beverage and listen to music at day's end while gazing at "man in the moon" illuminating the ocean's shore!

Great week at beautiful beach home. GREAT LOCATION, only 100 yards from beach, close to grocery stores, restaurants etc. You will enjoy the outdoor decking and seating. Very comfortable beds and great walk-in shower. This home is extremely clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this home and will rent again. We rented a golf cart for the week locally at Crystal Beach, grandkids loved it. Only 13 miles from ferry to Galveston. This is a great choice...................Jeff , College Station Texas........April 2013

Beautiful property with high end features like granite countertops & very spacious bathrooms! WONDERFUL deck. Great views since there's not a house built in front of it yet. Great location on a main entry to the beach. Beach was never crowded & scraped/cleaned on Wednesday. Not much vehicle traffic....they like the golf carts here (available for rent but this property doesn't need it) & that was much less invasive/distracting than the cars/trucks we're used to seeing We come to the coast frequently & this is, by far, the best property we've stayed at!

Downsides are the ferry takes FOREVER to cross these days (yuck!). So if you want a real 'get away', this place is for you since you won't really be traveling back & forth to galveston for shopping/eating. There's only one resturaunt on this side of the ferry...Stingaree's...it's practically across the street from this location & is VERY good food!!!! Also, if you're bringing kids you need to bring your own sand toys. This location is really designed for adult getaways.... It can certainly accommodate kids....you just need to bring your own play things!

We brought 2 families with age ranges from 9-50. The breezeway dividing the living areas was PERFECT for this scenario!!!! All said, I'd rate this property a 9.5 out of 10. (would like to have been prepared for no sand toys since all the other places we've stayed at had accumulated lots of them...& there was NO WAY we were crossing the ferry again for that kind of stuff!).

Would HIGHLY recommend this location for anybody. Furnished well & decorated nicely. You could LIVE on the deck!!! This place makes you want to own your own place on the beach.....we'll be back....

This house is perfect for a getaway. It's very comfortable, clean and spacious inside; and outside you couldn't ask for a better setting. Sitting approximately 50 yards from the beach, it's close enough that you can wander back and forth all day, but far enough away so that you aren't entrenched by the day visitors. This was our first visit, but it certainly won't be our last. Enjoy!

This is the ultimate beach house! It was very clean and has very nice amenities. The location is perfect, right on the beach and close to all the stores. We had three families on this trip, so the split bedrooms worked perfect. One couple has a newborn, so we gave them the master suite. They did not show pics of the master bath, but let me tell you the shower is gigantic! Everyone had such a great time and we can't wait to go back! We will rent this house again and again!

Our family rented this beach house to celebrate our grandchildren's birthdays and our anniversary. There was plenty of room for all of us (6 adults and 2 children). The online pictures do not lie. The house and property were clean and well-maintained. The house is beautiful and provided many things that are not really necessary for a great time at the beach! It is furnished beautifully. The beds were comfortable. The appliances are top-notch. Satellite televisions and radios. The deck is outstanding with both covered areas and open areas for sunbathing. It is a short walk to the beach and has a great view from the deck. The owner even provides a canopy to take down to the beach which was quite useful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave! We highly recommend the house and found the owner to be extremely easy to work with. He even called to see if we had any questions and encouraged us to call if we needed anything.

Beautiful house right on the beach. This house was very well maintained and so well stocked. The wrap around balcony has an abundance of furniture with covered areas and a sun deck. It's even more beautiful than the pictures. Just a few steps from the beach. This house has everything you need to feel right at home--did not feel like a rental at all. Great communication with the owners. I cannot wait to get back!

This is a nice area. The beach view was great and the rap around deck allows you to stay out of the wind on a cold day or in the shade on a hot day. The divided sleeping areas gave everyone privacy. The home does not have WI-Fi and the AT&T reception on our iphone was not good. If you use verizon you may be OK
