This home exceeds my expectation from the listing. The owner put an extreme amount of love and care into the design and decor. Everything seems brand new! This home is in a great location. It is a close walk to the beach and there is a nice view of the beach from the balconies. My family and I had such a great time. We will definitely stay here again.

Family & friends getaway

We had a great getaway at Sea, Sand & Stars. The property was well kept and the house was clean. All of the rooms worked great for our group, the only thing that would of improved our stay would be having a door on the bunkroom which connects to the hallway. Other than that minor thing, the house was perfect and we'll likely use it again.

What a beautiful home! From the bottom to the top and all the in-between, this family home is a beach paradise! All the details were noticed, gorgeous views from the balconies, beautiful,stocked kitchen for preparing meals, comfy sofa for TV watching, amazing beds and wonderful smelling, clean linens. Additional TVs in all the bedrooms and a large dining table for sharing meals and lively card games! 4 generations made so many lovely memories in this amazing beach home. Thank you for sharing it with us! What a blessing to experience a few days here.

Great house - plan to stay here again soon!

Enjoyed visiting this property. Everything it was supposed to have it did. House is well equipped and laid out well. All bedrooms are upstairs. One room has a king and bunk beds with also an attached balcony which is cool. Another room has a king bed and between the two rooms is a set of bunks. This particular set of bunks has less privacy but it's not a problem if you are aware! I would recommend bringing additional trash bags if you are planning to stay longer than 1-2 days. Saves you a trip to the big store ;)

Great House!!

The house was exactly as it was pictured. Great spaces, beds were the best we've ever had in ANY rental, layout was wonderful, water pressure was perfect. There was nothing we were "wanting" for. In the kitchen, everything was easy to find and spacious enough for ALL 6 of us to be in there at the same time. Living room was comfortable, airy and cool. We loved that there was a 1/2 bath on the main level too. Bedroom layout was perfect for our group, and having an extra balcony was more than we could have asked for! We had to leave early, and the owner was very understanding and helpful. We will rent this place again, hopefully we'll be back this summer!!

Sunny days, family and relaxation!

This was our second attempt at Sea, Sand & Stars and we are all so glad we came back! The house is pristine with every amenity you could possibly want. From towels, to linens, to beach towels, extra pillows, the bedroom layouts, room to hang out all together or even room to go and have alone time! Did I mention TWO decks with LOTS of high chairs? One of my favorite things to do was grab an early morning cup of coffee, sit on the deck and just listen to the waves and watch the sunrise! Don't skip on this rental! Richard is very easy to work with and communicate with too.

Crystal Beach Gem!

Sea Sand Stars review: What a fantastic place! The Host: Richard was super communicative throughout the booking process and provided very clear directions to access the house, get checked in, and made sure everything went smoothly. The House: Easy to find and a short drive from Houston. The yard was well kept and the driveway clean. The house was beautiful with 2 story living space (2nd and 3rd floors). The interior was super clean and modern with all needed amenities! Beds were comfortable with extra blankets and pillows if needed. Kitchen was well equipment with place-setting for 10 people. There were many games to play also (we had a multi-day Monopoly game)! The house also comes with a charcoal grill downstairs - we made burgers! The Beach: SO MUCH FUN! The kids spent all day in the surf playing in the waves and collecting hermit crabs. We rented a golf car and cruised up and down the beach and my husband went fishing in the surf. Such a fun trip

GREAT HOUSE!

We really enjoyed our stay in this house. It had everything you need and then some. Owners thought of everything and were very responsive. My only thing would be if you are trailering a cart or buggy or bringing a boat, the driveway and area underneath the house is very narrow. Not alot of space to park many cars if you are bringing a group. Its a great house in a great location!

Sea, Sand, and Stars Spectacular Stay!

This was the perfect spot for life-long friends of 50+ years to come relax and refresh. The rooms were very clean and everything had it's perfect place. The colors were light and airy and the owners thought of everything we needed, all enclosed in a great notebook. We rented a golf cart, but mainly for coolers and chairs We easily walked to the beach. Also, the location of the house was so close to the best restaurant Stingaree, we could drive the golf cart. A gas station was also easy to get to for quick items we might have forgotten. Any questions we had about the rental before we went, were answered the same day by the owners. We didn't have any questions upon arrival, because everything was taken care of ahead of time. I like that they requested a check-in and check-out text, it made us feel like we could ask anything and they would take care of it! I would recommend this to anyone with children too, because of the bunkbed space! Adults slept comfortably in the bunks as well. We will definitely be renting again!

Perfect family vacation

We enjoyed our stay, the home was extremely clean which was very important to us. My family has bad allergies including pets so a home that is newer, clean & pet free is priority. The home is not far from the beach, we rented a golf cart to carry all the kids & beach stuff but one isn’t necessary. We especially enjoyed the bunk beds in the master, I have smaller kids so I prefer they are close and this gave them their own space. The owner was in contact the whole time & rental process was very easy.

Honestly, you can’t beat it! By far the best beach house I have stayed in from San Luis pass to crystal beach!

Great Place to Unplug and Enjoy Family

An amazing week spent relaxing with our family! Neat as a pin and well appointed Sand, Sea, and Stars was the place to be! Plenty of room for our group to enjoy quiet time and then come together for for a meal and game nights! My 88 year old mother particularly loved reading from the upper deck. The spacious downstairs allowed everyone to be together comfortably inside or out. If you’re looking for the perfect place this is it!
