About this house rental
Welcome to Reel Sunshine: 4-bed, 2-bath, 2-story house engineered for beach time. Full kitchen, big dining table, space for the crew. 2-min walk to the beach (120 secs, I checked) and amazing views. Master suite has its own private deck for sunsets. Problem was how to do vacation right. Solved it.
You get basically the whole house.
It`s a 2-story house, but only the master suite is upstairs. Smart layout, everyone else stays on one level.
Downstairs:
Bedroom 1: King bed.
Bedroom 2: Two twin-over-twin bunks. Sleeps 4.
Bedroom 3: 1 full bed + 1 twin-over-twin bunk. Sleeps 3.
Bathroom 1: Full bath for the downstairs crew.
Full kitchen + pantry: All yours. Oven, fridge, coffee maker, the works.
6-person dining table plus living space for the post-beach hang.
Upstairs:
Bedroom 4: The Master Suite: King bed, private ensuite bathroom, and its own private deck with those spectacular beach views.
Outside:
2 decks with spectacular views and outdoor furniture. Morning coffee deck and sunset deck, you decide which is which.
Heads up: There are a couple locked closets. That`s just owner storage, nothing you need. Everything else is fair game.
I won`t be there in person. You get the whole place to yourselves, but I`m on call.
Fastest way: message me right here in the app. I see those first. You can also call or text me directly if you need to.
For faster fixes, you`ll also get dedicated numbers for our cleaning and maintenance teams at check-in. Sand in the shower, grill won`t light, need extra towels, they solve that stuff way quicker than I can from off-site.
Basically: I`m nearby in your pocket, and backup is even closer.
Reel Sunshine sits on O`Neil Rd in Crystal Beach — that`s mid-Bolivar Peninsula. To find it: ferry landing on Highway 87, go about 9.4 miles, 4 streets past Margaritaville, turn right toward the water. That`s us. House on the left. Navigation: solved.
This isn`t a big resort strip. It`s a quiet, residential street of colorful, elevated beach houses where everyone waves from their golf cart. Lot is listed as beach view / Gulf view — which checks out, because the beach is a 2-minute walk that way.
Crystal Beach itself stretches about 7 miles down Highway 87 right in the middle of the peninsula. It`s unincorporated, laid-back, and built for real beach days: you can drive on the beach, fish Rollover Pass, crab, hunt for shells, and be back for sunset on the deck.
You`ve got gas stations, bait shops, beach bars, and little seafood joints within a few minutes drive, but you`re not in the middle of traffic. It`s the sweet spot — close enough to get a cold drink and a shrimp basket, far enough that at night you actually hear the waves.
It`s Texas beach town engineering at its finest.
Primary transport: car. Crystal Beach is 7 miles of Highway 87 on Bolivar Peninsula. You want a car to get groceries, bait, shrimp baskets, and to get here from the Galveston ferry.
Secondary, more fun transport: golf cart.
You can rent them locally and yes, they`re allowed on the beach here. That`s the real unlock. Golf cart + beach + sunset = the preferred local operating system.
House has parking for your car and the cart. Walk to the beach in 2 minutes, golf cart to everywhere else in 5.
Problem: Texas is big. Solution: smaller vehicle that`s way more fun
