This home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a friendly reminder rather than risking a noise complaint from a neighbor. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices—not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors! If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the nightly pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting "Yes" to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The nightly fee ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog. Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.

Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out.

The house was as described. Lots of blankets/comforters when it got chilly. A good amount of pots and pans for us to get some sides ready for Thanksgiving. Loved that it’s walking distance from the beach and it’s on a quiet street. It was also nice to have a TV in each room and the family room so we could watch what we wanted.

Just don’t waste your time with any Vacasa properties through Vrbo. Every amenity was either missing, not working, or just broken. The property management team had no eagerness to fix any of the issues. The fans and lights didn’t work. Extremely unhappy with our stay.

My group and I loved staying at this home! We come and stay at Crystal Beach every year and this home ranks up there with the best of the houses we’ve rented! The house was very clean and well kept. There were a few MINOR flaws with the house, but nothing we were too upset about. My friends and I will definitely be coming back here.

It is very near to the beach; Nice place to stay. Downside is the house was with sand (looks it is not cleaned well), living room TV remote is not working, and there are no locks to the bathroom. If you are fine without living room TV and without locks to washroom and bedroom, it’s a nice place to stay.

The House was great, but check in was terrible. We were given wrong codes and took over and hour to get it corrected. We were not offered any compensation at all for the stress/inconvenience. The elevator/lift is not for guest use was very frustrating since we had my 86 year old mom with us. It would have been very nice to at least let people load their suitcases on the lift. The king bed is so high off ground, I don’t see how anyone could use it. There are no closets in any of the bedrooms. Lack of water pressure in the shower also. The decoration is super nice. It was nice sitting on the porch. There are a ton of stairs. Also, if you rent through Vacasa only, you will not be charged the $77 fee from VRBO (extremely high)

Minor damage that needs to be repaired. Could be cleaner. Dirt piled up on patio down stairs. Mold around vents. Strong musky smell inside.

Layout of this property is very nice. Pictures are accurate. It is less than 5min to beach. Door to back patio was not locking and then fell off. But Vacasa property management team got it fixed right away.
Only feedback is property was not very clean on arrival. Bed was made but did not had fresh sheets. They had smell on them so I had to wash them and then it was all ok. Floor was dusty. Open gello can on back patio.
However property has washer and dryer so it was convenient. We did had good time and made beautiful memories and given a chance we would love to come back :)!

Overall very good. Only issue was upon check in. The instructions for entry referenced a lock box downstairs but the combination was actually for the door so a little confusing.

Very nice
We have rented several homes in the Galveston area this is the second home we have stayed in at Crystal Beach. The home was VERY clean and had very comfortable couches which is a big deal after a long day at the beach. The cable was out it was for the area not just the house but thankfully they had several games to play. I have to say that playing the games with the kids was fun and I forgotten how much fun that can be.

We all enjoyed our stay there. It would be very helpful if the lift worked for suitcases. Also the stool in the bedroom with the king size bed needs repaired. The flapper lets water run and it’s very annoying when trying to sleep.

Our over all experience was great. The location to the beach, walking is .15 to the sand. The air conditioner worked great. Our family of 9 slept comfortable. The beds were soft. Easy access, in and out of the house.

Me and my friends took a mommy kids vacation and really enjoyed ourselves the room was big enough for each of us and our kids clean with enough towels for everyone only thing was we wished we was able to use the lift on the property to send up and down our suitcases and bags since it was just us women and small kids and when called to get help on how to use it they said that they was going have the owner to call back and help and no never called at all.
