Beautiful home and great location

We really enjoyed the home and the location was great too. The home is very well stocked, had everything we needed, and very comfortable beds. The porch was perfect for coffee in the morning and the patio was a nice spot to watch the Astros game.

Mardi Gras Fun!

Our stay was just perfect. We came to Crystal Beach for Mardi Gras weekend. Kelly's home was so fitting for our group. That Ocean view for morning coffee or an afternoon Margarita was amazing. Just the sounds of the waves, soothes the soul. You will not be disappointed in this home.

Perfect beach getaway!!

Our stay at this beach cabin was nothing short of amazing! The cabin was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. Being just steps away from the beach made our mornings delightful—we enjoyed watching the sunrise over the ocean right from the porch. The location was ideal, offering both tranquility and easy access to stores. The hosts were attentive and ensured we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise!

The place is amazing, looks just like the photos. Very clean and has everything you need.

We enjoyed our stay! The place is beautiful and clean. The property manager was really kind, he called the day before our stay to introduce himself and to see if we we had questions. Due to horrible weather conditions all weekend he allowed us to check out later on Sunday, so that we could enjoy the sunny weather. I highly recommend this property.

Overall nice home with a good view

The home is very nice with comfortable beds and a great view of the beach. I will say the home is very well insulated because we had noisy neighbors and loud people on the beach, but when we went inside we couldn’t hear anything. Home is spacious for a large family.

Awesome Experience!

We booked an extended weekend trip for our children’s birthday and they had a blast! The location of the home is perfect for beach and local shopping. The beach views from the deck are top notch. There was an ample amount of space to accommodate our large group of adults and children and the beds were extremely comfortable. My 8 year old actually said she had “the best sleep ever” while we were there. I highly recommend this property as we had the best experience here.

It was a great stay at the beach!

We stayed for 2 nights in the property during the week with my family and friends. Property is very clean and description of the property is accurate, it has all necessary amenities and utensils in the house. We truly enjoyed our stay. The owner called me before arrival and walked through the details, it was very nice! Property also has a very nice bar area downstairs, with grill, tv and nice view on the beach. I would highly recommend this property to others and will definitely stay there again. On last day owner allowed us to stay little longer and kids enjoyed few extra hours at the beach! Thanks a lot!
