Needs a good deep cleaning. Ceiling fans are think with dust. Kitchen cabinets need a good cleaning especially across from the stove and handle area. Raccoon poop on deck.You could tell been there awhile had to make a dash to the dollar store for toilet paper and hand soap for bathrooms

Love the space, very peaceful and beautiful views.

House was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. The beach area in front of the house was littered with trash and various people camping out but that's not the fault of the property. Still one of the nicest houses we've rented.

Easy, relaxing, stress free!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the house and location. The beach did not have big waves but good for younger kids and for kayaking. Went to different beach for bigger waves. Great to watch ships entering harbor.

Loved location and roominess. Will definitely be booking again!

This house is fantastic! We were 4 couples so the 4 king sized beds with bathrooms between them worked perfectly. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, utensils, etc. Charcoal grill is functional but needs replacing as the vents are rusted shut, but we made it work. The views are spectacular. Watching the ships line up to get into the port was a popular activity, whether from inside with the expansive windows or outside on the deck. There is a walkway to the beach in front of the house and the beach was clean and well maintained. There is a lot of privacy with the state park on one side and a vacant space on the other. The host was very responsive - we had to contact them when the kitchen sink backed up and they had a plumber there very quickly. This was a great place to stay!

First the pros: The check in was quick & easy process. I like the fact you can check in at noon. The location of the property was on point. Right next to the park with beach accessibility. The beach house was very spacious and accommodating for my family. They provide mostly everything you could possibly need. They also provide plenty of games for family fun night. Cons: If you are renting out your beach house, why not provide linen and just include in the price. I'm not sure who prefers to bring their own linen and towels with them. Also, if you're allowing pets to stay at your location, please provide a deep cleaning to the beach house. We found pet hairs throughout on pillows & sofa, gross. I was somewhat apprehensive to seat down before wiping down everything. Also, the sofa sleeper needs to be replaced. Sofa bed filled with stains. Some of the beds also had stains on the bed covering. Toilet paper was low so we had to make a trip to the store. There is also a shortage when using the oven on the right front. Overall a great place to stay. I will definitely come back if these things are address.

Nice location, awesome view from deck, sunset was amazing.

Great set up/ property. Gorgeous sunrises, dolphin & bird watching, etc. You can hike over the dune, through the grass - bring shoes to trample the grass. Kitchen is well supplied. Ice/water from fridge doesn’t work, so bring your own! Drip coffee maker, toaster, air fryer, blender. All sizes of mixing bowls, pots, pans, baking sheets, sharp knives. We rented the linens - worth the extra $$. Suggest you bring: dish soap, paper towels, TP, plastic wrap/foil hand soap, tall kitchen garbage bags. There were (less than) partial rolls of paper products and no extra garbage bags. Would have liked to have a combination/code lock, because extra stops (going 15-20 min past the property when getting in late is a bummer - yes, #1stworldproblems) All in all, a great weekend.

The home is comfortable, loaded with everything you need to feel at home. Beds are comfortable, views of beach and gulf are amazing, and there was more than enough room for everyone in our group. The listing should be upgraded to say 4 king beds, 1 queen bed, and a queen sofa sleeper. Pictures online don't do justice to this home. Its much more beautiful in person. My family and I will be staying again.

Great location and beach access. Highly recommend

We had a party of 12 and it was a great property that accommodated us fine. The location is amazing. Local store close by and the ferry just down the road to take you and your car right over to Galveston. I highly recommend this property.

Upon arrival we thought someone didn’t clean up after their pet. After unload all our stuff we took the time to spray the feces off the porch and stairs. Enjoyed the evening with family. In the morning we woke to go down to beach and the stairs were once again covered in feces. We cleaned it once again and started looking for the dog. We found a family of 3 raccoons. We had a good weekend with the family but did spend time each day cleaning up the mess the raccoons brought into the yard. Over all the weekend was great

Our stay was in late July 2018. The home was beautiful and well thought out. We chose this home because of what we thought from the description and reviews was beach front and we thought we could actually use the beach in front of the house without having to pack up and drive for our beach time. I guess it should be considered beach front but the beach on this part of the gulf is unkept. There was trash, glass and tent campers along the small stretch of “beach” which left it unusable to us. The water was foul in this area as well. I’m supposing that is from the ships coming in and out. We packed up everyday and drove to find a beach area, which was no big deal. We were just hoping to avoid that this time and be able to use the beach in front of our rental. The large yard could have been nice but was full of stickers. We also added the “linen” package through Swedes and felt like it was not worth the $$$. They were left in tubs outside the front door and were in very bad shape. Very old and worn out. When we called them about our concerns they simply said that there was nothing they could do for us about the linens and said maybe the beach would be cleaned up soon. They said that Crystal Beach is a party beach and it’s too bad people don’t clean up after themselves. I guess someone had a great time and left dirty diapers, bottles and trash for someone else to pick up. That’s sad and too bad for this property because it really is a nice home with a pretty view. Sooooo, if u are not wanting to use the beach in front of the house and are just there for the view, this rental might be great for you. We however, were hoping for something different for our family vacation. I don’t usually write reviews but just think people should know what they might have to deal with. 2 stars for the nice home and pretty view. Sad face for the stickers, dirty beach and water, and rental company’s attitude. Susie H. Austin TX

We had a wonderful time at Peace and Tranquility, we were the only people on the beach. The location is excellent. A totally relaxing experience. Me and my family so glad in that beatifull place . We will definitely come back. The owners have thought of everything the home is well stocked. I would highly recommend this property you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a restful and thoroughly enjoyable Birthday Party 51 . Again Thank so much ...

Absolutely loved this house! It has everything you need, the layout is perfect and the beachfront is like having your own private beach. We definitely look forward to staying here again in the future.

The house was gated and perfect; the living room was big and open with lots of big windows to enjoy the beautiful views of the beach and boats. Also has a big kitchen with the utensil you need the deck is all around the house and very comfortable to sit and relax with your favorite wine. It has tables underneath a grill a big field like to put a volley ball net "to bad we didn't have enought time" the house is very private and quit "definitely we will return" the owner has 100% of good taste of what it's to enjoy nature from the way the house was build 😊�

It was so simple to enjoy this spacious and quiet getaway! Four kids and five adults fit comfortably. The view, the quiet beach front, and the wraparound deck were our favorite features. The kitchen and game cabinet were well-stocked. Decor was clean and simple. Living areas were open. It was so seamless for the nine of us to live and play and relax together here. Perfect.
