Could be a 5 star

While the house was picked up it wasn’t clean, most of the house had dust, we had to wipe down counters, wash dishes, and sweep. For the cleaning fee they charge it definitely was not expected. Another thing also was the restroom locks for the pull out doors were not working. However they supply everything you need, pots, cooking utensils, towels, blankets, and games. We were a total of 9 adults, 3 teenagers, 2 kids, and 1 infant we all had a place to sleep.

Location was great!

The location of this home was everything we wanted. It is just steps to sand. The home was set up for families. Upon arriving the house was not clean. We contacted the host and he immediately sent the cleaners back. The cleaners were incredibly rude to us and we ended up telling them to leave. The host was apologetic and responsive but we ended up staying in a dirty house. The counters were not clean, toilets still had urine around them and feces in them. The floor was full of hair, human and dog hair, and sand. The bunk bed did not have sheets on it. By the last day we could smell dog urine but were so over it we ended up leaving because tropical storm Alberto was approaching anyways. The house did not have a Keurig as stated and we only brought pods. The hockey table was missing the pucks so we were unable to use that. Overall the host was responsive, the location was great, and the house was a good size for our 13 guests.

Family time at the beach

We had a good time spending time together. The house had a few issues, and the property owner was very communicative. This house isn't 100 ft from the beach or on the front row, as the description shows. It's on the 2nd row. We had 17 people (all family) come to enjoy some beach time. One of the pull-out couches was broken and couldn't be used, so one guest had to sleep on a twin-size blow-up mattress we brought. There weren't any cleaning supplies, so wiping the counter after meals couldn't happen with anything other than water. There was a broom and no dustpan. The property owner said they wanted the experience to be a true vacation and to not worry about the mess "to leave it in the best condition we could." With 17 people, it would have been nice to be able to wipe things down. The remote in the living room was broken, and with the great big windows, it was a little difficult to cool the upstairs (to our liking) at night.

Great Family Vacation

Our family of 15 could not have asked for a better vacation, the entire family felt very relaxed. The home had everything we could have needed, the loft is a plus if you have kids. Pack your clothes, toiletries, and food (seasonings also) and you cant go wrong with this home. The check in and checkout process was very easy, other than it would be nice if the checkout was a bit later. We will be staying here again and maybe even renting one of the homes next door!!

Family Trip

This was a family vacation ,there were 20 of us. everyone enjoyed their stay. we had lots of room, The loft upstairs was excellent and that it had its own bathroom. So close to the beach with great Access. Plenty of parking. Would stay again. To improve this property, inclose the patio area Underneath with screen so it could be used at night without the bother of mosquitoes.

Great house and location

We had 10 adults and 6 children stay here for a week. The house is one row back from the beach with a walkway right in front of the house that takes you to the beach. The house was clean and well furnished. The deck was great with plenty of furniture for everyone to have a seat. The little ones loved the small playground in the fenced yard. The location is great out of the tourist area of Galveston. There were mostly families in the small neighborhood and it was nice and quiet. My only complaint was there were not many pots and pans and the teflon coating was coming off of the one skillet. The stove had a crack across the cook top but they had ordered one and it was on back order. The bunk room really needs a fan. It is warmer in there than the other part of the house. We had a great vacation and enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend the house.

Great Family vacation cabin!

Plenty of space and great location. Load the wagon and take the short walk to the beach. Close enough for the kids to walk back for snacks or restrooms. Cabin has 4 bedrooms and a huge loft. Quiet neighborhood and low beach traffic area of Crystal Beach.
