We loved this venue and it was the perfect place to hold our small beach wedding on Friday the 13th. Jim and Irene were both very accessible and answered our many questions quickly. Besides the wedding aspect, the house was nice, roomy, and had many amenities that were helpful. It stayed nice and cool and the view was spectacular each morning. The elevator was immensely helpful in packing so pay the extra fee to use it. For our wedding: the assistance team was beyond helpful and the three women gave us their expertise and knowledge to help us set up a beautiful reception and ceremony. The night was amazing and we couldn't have picked a better place to become wives! Will strongly consider coming back here in the future just for a beach stay.

It is so beautiful for a small wedding i highly recommend it

The property was beautiful and so peaceful. There were no interruptions from any neighbors or beach-goers. The property had all amenities as stated. The privacy on the beach was perfect. Everyone loved the setup and It was such a great wedding and vacation!

We couldnt have asked for a better place to hold the wedding. The staff was prompt, and extremely courteous. House was beautiful and very comfortable.

We loved this amazing venue and had the most beautiful wedding with all the natural beauty around us! Booking was simple and the property manager was easy to get a hold of and was very responsive to any concerns we had. We would highly recommend Beauty and The Beach!!

We enjoyed out stay. Communication was outstanding. Questions answered very quick and detailed. Owner very helpful in planning our stay. My daughter was married here. The bridal suite was great. Plenty of room for bride and bridesmaid to get ready. Bridal suite lacked seating. Later we found out there are barstools in the closets marked so not open. Property was clean with comfortable beds. Appreciated kitchen cabinets being labeled. Event staff was the best. Very accommodating. The beach view can’t be beat. Was expecting a grooms room but it was more of a storage closet with no place for the groomsmen to sit. They waited in the living room since the bridal suite can be closed off from the rest of the house. Loved having the outside access to restrooms for guest. Overall it was an amazing experience.

There were a few minor issues (like having a slightly wrong code), but the host was always very quick to respond & resolve every one of them. We're very happy we chose this venue not only for our stay, but for our wedding. We would like to come back for our anniversary.

Beauty and the Beach light house review- When we booked this house we were excepting the house to be as advertised. Shortly after arrival we noticed that would not be the case. The photos are not an accurate representation of what we were seeing. The landscaping is overgrown and the fire pit was a heap of stones with brush grown up around it, and no seating as pictured. The elevator layout was not safe. My daughter who is 8 months pregnant was having to use a flash light to walk up and down the stairs due to the outside lighting not working. When we contacted vrbo they admitted to knowing the lights were not working for a few months due to a lighting storm, but did not tell us ahead of time. We had multiple young kids and not being able to see while coming up and down is a scary situation. The hammock they have listed for use was no where to be found. The smoke detectors were beeping on and off after our arrival and Irene the vrbo contact said we could just disconnect them until after our stay if we wanted to. (Liability!) The living room couch was miniature sized, the house is supposed to fit X amount of people but the couch only held 3 children under 8yrs old. There was also mold in the kitchen and living areas at the air vents. For a beach front home with direct beach access we had high expectations but left seriously unimpressed. The listing needs to be updated to reflect what it currently looks like versus pictures from when the house was in its prime.

The property was amazing and very clean. The view was spectacular. We didn’t get married here but it would be a beautiful wedding venue. Adam & Crystal

Cabin was nice and clean.

Cabin was nice and clean.

This was a wonderful place for a few night family getaway. Even though this trip wasn’t for a wedding, my youngest mentioned that she will consider this location when she starts looking for a wedding venue. Communicating with the host was very easy.

We held my daughters wedding at this property and it was amazing. They allowed us to deliver the wedding cake before check in to put it in the fridge. The property manager was a joy to communicate with and was super fast to respond. We used the onsite sound system which was easy to set up and use. For the wedding they set up tables and chairs and put signs out to keep people from setting up behind the house so as to not disturb the ceremony. The cleaning staff was great and very accomodating on how we wanted the venue set up. Overall could not ask for a more enjoyable experience.

Beautiful property with an excellent location that provides a level of seclusion that’s difficult to find at Crystal Beach while still being close to necessities. Spacious rooms and outdoor areas, numerous amenities, and a gorgeous beachfront view! Booking, check in and checkout was simple and hassle free. Clear guidelines and communication from host made for an easy and enjoyable experience! Highly recommend this booking!!

It was a beautiful place to stay at. The pictures didn’t do it justice.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Friends since elementary school came down to celebrate our wedding and we had a wonderful time. We played on the beach, we played games in the yard, we laughed and just relaxed for 4 days. The host was easy to reach and responsive to our questions in a timely manner. The wedding day was perfectly beautiful and the venue staff were quick and efficient. The weather wasn’t a concern at any time because of the under cover areas being spacious and clean.

We had our wedding here and it was amazing. It was a beautiful venue for our beautiful day! Great space, clean, and well kept.

We celebrated our daughter's wedding with about 70 friends & family at this venue. Everything was beautiful when we arrived and the owner was wonderful to work with. He personally answered the phone and responded to our texts in a timely manner, so we were not working with a third-party company. We highly recommend Beauty & the Beach for anyone looking for a get away, reunion or a wedding!

Our family of 8 stayed here this past weekend and loved it! Not only was being in a lighthouse fun, it was also perfect access to the beach. Irene was quick to respond with any questions and very helpful. Can’t wait to book this place again next summer.

Overall pretty nice

Beauty and the Beach is a great location on the Bolivar with open lots on both sides offering a great deal of privacy. The bed and couch were comfortable and the place was very clean. It is set up as a wedding venue, so there were not any books or games provided. So plan to bring those items with you. We had a great massage by Vanessa in Crystal Beach which is ten miles from the rental (so is the Big Store). The restaurant scene was not very active with Stingaree closed for remodeling and Steve's Landing and the Ocean Grille permanently closed. Being January, this was not totally unexpected, so we came prepared and enjoyed sitting at the kitchen island table eating the meals we prepared. With an expansive view of the Gulf Coast and not having to leave, we enjoyed the early sunsets. We've been to the Bolivar three times and this was our favorite rental. Next time, we want to rent the elevator:) thanks Irene

Well maintained property

Friendly, attentive and clean.

We had a perfect wedding at this venue and would definitely recommend it! Just make sure to have bug spray if it rains the day before. It’s not the fault of the venue, just a hazard of an outdoor wedding on the gulf coast.

Threw my wedding here, absolutely fantastic and painless. 10/10 would get hitched here again. The mosquitos did get terrible but that's Galveston/ Bolivar for you. Absolutely beautiful weather for the wedding and all the guests loved the location. The elevator made everything so easy as far as loading/unloading. Great communication with owner/wedding event staff.

We loved our stay the manager was amazing very responsive and delivered what they stated. We would definitely recommend this location to family and friends.

We were absolutely thrilled with our intimate beach wedding and stay. Our hosts were extremely hospitable, accommodating and quick to respond. The property and views were breathtaking and the staff members were very sweet, professional and fun. We and our guests were so impressed and satisfied with the entire experience!

Perfect family beach house right on the water. Nice and private with great views!

The immediate access to the beach and the beach toys that were available were perfect! Our kids loved the lighthouse too!

The property is used mostly as a wedding venue, but it suited our girls trip easily. We appreciated being a little more spread out from other properties. I would stay there again.

Our time at Beauty and the Beach was definitely a special one. The Venue itself is so beautiful, that not much decorating was required for our wedding. Irene the property manager and Jim the property owner were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had which I truly appreciate. We are already planning our next stay at Beauty and the Beach! I definitely recommend this place if you want beautiful views and unlimited breeze on your special day!

Everything was great. The house is beautiful, the bridal room is EVERYTHING! Irene the property manager always got back to me quickly and was truly helpful throughout our stay. The 2 ladies they send to help set up,take down, and bartender were very kind and we appreciated the help. They did a great job with our crowd. This place was a dream****
