With miles of undeveloped beaches and endless sunshine, Crystal Beach is the perfect Gulf Coast getaway. When you stay at this modern, three-bedroom vacation rental, your friends and loved ones will enjoy all of the comforts of home, in addition to being just a few minutes' walk from the sand and surf. And you can bring your two canine family members along, too!

Although this quaint seaside community feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life, downtown Galveston is just a short, scenic ferry ride away. Of course, you won't need to go far to find entertainment with the beach less than a tenth of a mile away! In addition, the Big Store, the peninsula's only full-service grocery store, is a little more than a mile from your front door.

Bright and welcoming, this eclectic vacation rental invites you to relax and let your worries fade away. The large living area features plenty of comfy furniture, so the whole gang can stretch out and enjoy a family movie night on the flatscreen cable TV. There's also WiFi, so it's easy to stay in touch with the folks back home.

After a long day at the beach, step into the fully equipped kitchen to prepare a hearty meal for your hungry crew. Cleanup is simple thanks to the dishwasher. Sit down to eat at the six-person dining room table, or grab one of the two seats at the breakfast bar. If you'd rather eat outdoors, you'll find this home's outside spaces are just as impressive as its indoor ones. The ground floor features a dining area with a picnic table and outside shower. Upstairs, the oversize balcony includes a built-in ice cooler and plenty of colorful chairs, so the whole family can relax while enjoying music from the surround sound entertainment system.

When night falls, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home can comfortably sleep eight guests. The main bedroom features a queen-size bed and an en suite bathroom. In the second bedroom, you'll find another queen-size bed, while the third bedroom includes two twin-size beds. For additional sleeping options, there is also a futon. A private washer/dryer is available to keep your clothes fresh and clean. This home is also fully stocked with all of the linens, towels, and cleaning supplies your group might need, including shampoo and conditioner.

When you're ready to venture out, you'll find no shortage of beach-centric activities to occupy your time. Head to the beach to build sandcastles, sunbathe, swim, beach comb, or birdwatch. For the slightly more adventurous, kayaking, surfing, and snorkeling are all available too. Board the free ferry to Galveston and peruse the shops and restaurants downtown. If you're in the mood for thrill rides, head to Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn, just 23 miles away. For more leisurely pursuits, enjoy fishing, golfing, or even crabbing. Don't miss out on this family-friendly Gulf Coast retreat. Make your reservation today!

Beach getaway for my husband’s birthday a total success
the property was everything advertised and more. There was constant communication to check on any opportunities for improvement but we had no issues during our stay. Being so convenient to the beach made the trip complete and the local shopping and dining venues did not disappoint. We will definitely book again.

Poor communication
This house is managed by Vacasa. They were terrible with communication when issues arose. The first night we were there the whole town lost power for the whole night. The house was hot and did not have alternative means of power. Other houses in the area had generators for times like that. The power went out again on our last night. Forcing us to leave and find a hotel near by. Again, communication with the property manager was terrible with 3+ hour response times. When I told them about the issues, they told me they had a message into the local staff and would get back to me. Still have yet to hear anything from them. I will not be using Vacasa again. We have had much better experiences with dealing with the property owners directly in the past. Otherwise, the house is in a great location. I would suggest for the stairway to have a gate at the top for small children to avoid falls. We enjoyed our trip for the most part. Aside from there being no power for two of the nights we were there.

Nice place
Everything was very clean and well prepared. The only complaint that I had, was that the fridge leaked water the entire time that we were there. You might need to get someone to look at it.

Great location and family friendly
We stayed at Pelican View for a couple of days and liked the location which was only one street away from the beach. The house was the right size for our family and was small child friendly. The house could have been cleaner (dusty blinds, sock from previous tenants), the pots and pans need to be replaced, and the area rug had seen better days.

Great Place
I think the place was great, it wasn't as clean as you would expect. There were spider webs in the kitchen as if it had been shut up for a while. I think it was quite pricey to be such an older home, and not as clean as it could be.
