Welcome to Texas! Crystal Beach is Texas at its finest. Drive, park, barbeque, swim, fish, build sandcastles, have events, or just relax on this beautiful and convenient beach!
The beach house has everything you could need to enjoy your vacation.
The home is lifted over 9-1/2 feet off of the ground, and the entire space is a finished patio with swinging benches, rocking chairs, bar chairs, tables, and a bar with a sink. Outdoor speakers with a Bluetooth sound system, hanging string lights, and a brand new G-6 Tranquility Series 6 Person Spa make this space a paradise.
The upper decks are spacious and include sunny, shady, and even screened-in deck areas. Seating and lighting is plentiful, and you can even hear the ocean waves at the front of the neighborhood.
Walk inside to your open-concept luxury kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you could possibly need to host your family or friends. The kitchen and island area seat 12 people comfortably. Small appliances not shown in pictures include a toaster and a crock pot.
The living room has comfortable seating for 8-10 people and a large Roku TV with a sound bar and a subwoofer. You’ll find board games and puzzles in the entertainment center. How about a game day, game night, or a movie night?
The master suite has a king bed, a 32” Roku TV, a ceiling fan, and solid wood furniture with built-in accent lighting. This bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with granite countertops, a river stone-floored walk-in shower and a large walk-in closet. You’ll find extra towels and blankets, as well as a box fan, and first aid kit in the closet.
Bedroom 2 has a queen bed, a 32” smart TV, a ceiling fan, and solid wood furniture. The closet has extra blankets, a box fan, and a roll-away bed.
A Jack-and-Jill bathroom connects bedroom 2 and bedroom 3. The bathroom features granite countertops and a large shower / bath combo with glass doors.
Bedroom 3 has a bunk bed (twin over full) with a twin trundle, a 32” Roku TV, a ceiling fan, and solid wood furniture. In the closet you will find extra blankets and a toy chest with some goodies for the younger kids.
Bedroom 4 has 2 bunk beds (twin over fulls), with a 32” smart TV featuring Chromecast and Apple AirPlay. This bedroom has an en-suite half bath and a dedicated mini-split HVAC unit. Bedroom 4 is on ground level separate from the rest of the home, and has its own private exterior entrance.
The laundry room in the master bathroom has a full sized washer and dryer, and an iron and ironing board.
The garage has a stand-up deep freezer and an additional refrigerator. We have an honor system set up for the deep freezer where we keep (10) 10 pound bags of ice ready for guests at all times. This allows you to have ice for your entire stay without having to run to The Big Store (less than 1 mile away). Please do not use the ice if you’re unable to refill it before your departure.
The garage also features 12+ beach chairs that you are welcomed to bring to the beach, and a number of games and entertainment options for use at the property.
There is a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water to rinse off after coming back from the beach, before getting in the spa, or just for enjoying a solid outdoor shower.
We have a dog run! Your dog (30 pounds or less) can roam the entire upstairs patio space and take the stairs down to a fenced-in grass yard.
We work hard to maintain a place that you and yours can enjoy. Come stay with us and indulge in the beach life!

Great House with tons of amenities! Loaded with patio furniture, all the beach stuff including camping chairs, and everything you need for meals! Prompt and attentive communication at all times from owners. You can’t beat this place!
Had the best time.. The house is exactly as pictured, beautiful home… The area was nice and quiet. Fabulous host with everything you could ask for at the house along with being very responsive. We will be back.., Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Where to begin...the property owners are great. Very accommodating with very quick responses even while they were on vacation. The cabin is just perfect. So cozy. The amenities were outstanding, I could not have wanted or needed anything that was not already provided. I won't look any further for a cabin in my future. This cabin will definitely be my go to. Enjoyed every minute of my stay.
This was the perfect getaway for my girl to have a fun sleepover with her friends at the beach. We sang songs, hand some junk food, watched movies, had more junk food, and she was able to read letters from friends and family that cherished her 18 years on a beautiful patio. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home! We will be back!!
We had a wonderful time. The house was fully equipped and had everything you needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and downstairs games. The only thing I would say is it might be a good ideal to bring your own bath towels. There towels are very worn out and hard on the body. Not a big deal we just went and bought some at the Big Store. In all we had a great time and would definitely recommend this house. Oh and the owners were very fast at getting back with you and were very sweet people.
The Swell Life provided everything that we needed. My grandson really enjoyed the bunk room on the ground floor. He loved his privacy! Beds were comfy and the bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked. We definitely would stay here again.
Our family had a wonderful time during our Crystal Beach stay. We could all walk to the beach it was so close. The house comfortably accommodated our party and had plenty of hang out space! Everyone loved the hot tub. We would definitely rent again!
The house was amazing and they had EVERYTHING we needed and more! The owners are very accomodating and helpful. The location is great, being just a short walk to the beach and the overall experience was easy and wonderful. It made my Winter Birthday Beach Party my best birthday to this day! Thank you a thousand times over!
The house was beautiful! Great location to big store and only a few rows back from the beach. Very clean and owners were very responsive. The “4th” bedroom is what looks to be a second garage converted to a room and is separate from
the of the home. It would’ve been nice to know that beforehand because we had small children staying with us, but would still stay here again!
We stayed a full 7 days here and it was awesome. The convenience of freezers full of ice is awesome, we made 1 trip for ice and that was to replace what we'd used. They have a ton of chairs and Beach towels for your use. The downstairs room was great to send all our teen boys to for the night. Kelsey and Curtis were very responsive when we had questions. We'd definately stay here again.
The property pictures absolutely do the property justice. The short walk the the magnificent beach makes me think I'll skip Galveston in favor of Bolivar on all my trips to come. The property itself was VERY clean and had been thoughtfully appointed with everything you could need. Less than a mile away was a great local store that could help you restock the stores of the use one - replace one stores of the host. The hot tub, fully appointed kitchen, washer/dryer, grill, games, towels, beach stuff and more made this the perfect rental. Best testimonial: we can''t wait to come back for a friends and family vacay part 2.
For years now, we have traveled to Crystal Beach to enjoy summer vacation with family and friends. We have rented properties and always loved our stays; however this trip was by far the best! On top of traveling with wonderful company, here’s a few reasons why we loved our stay so much:
The neighborhood was quiet and the house was located perfectly; it was just a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach and the store was just down the road. The property owners were extremely accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. Not only was the house furnished and decorated beautifully in immaculate condition with comfortable beds and couches and stocked with all necessities, they went the extra mile suppling items such as beach towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and they provided bags of ice for our coolers etc. They made sure the jacuzzi was always sparkling so we could enjoy our nightly star gazing.
Do not pass on this house; we will be back and we recommend it to all, it won’t disappoint!!
