Gulf-view Home with wraparound deck - one block to the beach

Crystal Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Escape to the wide-open beaches of the Bolivar Peninsula at this two-bedroom Crystal Beach home, a colorful coastal retreat with an elevated wraparound deck and easy walking access to the Gulf of Mexico.

Decorated with vibrant prints and cheerful shades of blue, the living space features tile floors, plentiful seating, and satellite TV. Flip on the ceiling fans to circulate the Gulf breezes, use the stainless steel appliances to whip up pancakes in the kitchen each morning, and bring your coffee and newspaper outside to the wraparound deck to admire the Gulf view.

Spend each morning swimming and boogie boarding at the beach down the road, and return to the house for lunch at the picnic table on the patio, and come home to catch a movie on one of the three cable TVs as your bathing suits spin in the private washer/dryer.

Explore miles of sand and surf on the Bolivar Peninsula - begin planning your getaway to Crystal Beach today!

WHAT’S NEARBY
This elevated home overlooks the turquoise Gulf waters in Crystal Beach, a small community on the tranquil Bolivar Peninsula. Take a one-block stroll to catch the sunrise on the beach, hop on the Galveston-Port Bolivar ferry 11 miles west to cross the channel to Galveston Island, or spend your days birdwatching in the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge 35 miles northeast.
