Crystal Beach is located on Boliver Peninsula. It's a great place to relax with soft sand and gentle waves. Our family loves to boogie board, go crabbing, fish from the surf, and have bonfires on the beach. Most summer weekends you can even see fireworks on the beach, or bring your own to light off!
You can cruise the 27 miles of beach in your car, ATV, bike, or golf cart. There are many golf cart rental providers in the area and they will deliver and pick up from our home. Parking on the beach requires a $10 parking pass that is valid for the entire year, they are easy to purchase at the gas station or grocery store.

Great family vacation
This property is amazing and full of amenities. The beach is perfect for young kids to play and is within walking distance of the house. The house comes with beach toys and accessories making a day at the beach an easy way to spend your time. the only thing I wish I would’ve known in advance is that you have to take a ferry from Galveston to the island and the wait time for that ferry can be unpredictable. Overall, I would highly recommend this property.

The parking was kinda tight and the downstairs was small, but overall it was a great cabin! We loved how convenient it is to the beach and stores. She was so quick to respond and would text to make sure we didn’t need anything. I would definitely stay here again! And a huge plus for us, the rooms were dark and the beds were so comfortable.

Family Getaway
This place really is a home away from home. Truly a stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and located conveniently close to the beach. Owners have anticipated every need. We had an infant family member and the high chair was so convenient to have! The soaps provided are great quality and even in the outdoor shower downstairs making it easy to wash off. Kids toys upstairs and beach toys downstairs. The swings downstairs made an enjoyable hangout spot for younger members of the family and the tv room upstairs was great for the kiddos. Only thing on the wish list would be a bigger couch in the living room. We wanted for nothing and didn’t have a single item we needed to buy, because the owners already had it there! Planning on returning soon!

Wonderful Stay
We VRBO ourselves and love the split floor plan. Perfect for 2-3 families whose kids don’t mind a big slumber party upstairs. Beach and stores are all very close. Beach is active 24 hours a day. Store (walking distance) is open all night. Bring firewood! The house has everything you need and is very clean. This is a great choice for a fun beach trip without all the hustle and bustle of the island. Would suggest some kind of grocery/luggage lift, those stairs are hard on the older folks. Other than that, totally great place to be!
