Beachlife - Gulf View 1 block to the Beach
This is the perfect spot for pet owners looking for a Galveston getaway. Our reservation was a last minute decision but was better than anticipated. I honestly wish I had a longer time to stay here. Very clear instructions, easy access, convenient and quiet location, and has everything you need for your stay in case you forget something. The space also felt very clean and right at home. My dog appeared comfortable in the house and enjoyed our stay here. I’m already looking forward to staying here in the near future 😊

Gilchrist/Just Updated!/Great Ocean Views!/Sleep 8
Mark’s place was perfect. We had two young kids and an elderly dog with us. Being right on the beach was amazing for us so we didn’t have to load everyone up in/out the car. The patio was beautiful. Place was very clean and simple - had everything you needed and more. Will definitely be staying here again!

The Pirate's Canary (Beachfront)
Great house, lovely location. Nice and close to downtown Galveston, easy to access grocery and other needs. Kitchen had everything we needed, and we cooked quite a bit. Beds were extremely comfortable, communication was great!

Seaside Escape: Beautiful, Spacious, Peaceful
We had a great time at this nice beach side property. It was very clean, spacious and had great ocean views although it was not a beach front property. It felt very safe in the nights. The walk to the beach was short (just about 5 mins) and there is also a private access to the beach. We enjoyed the bbq grill. Overall, the stay was awesome and we wish we had stayed longer.

Short walk to beach • Fenced yard • Dog Friendly
We were able to book this place with very short notice. Ashley was very communicative and responsive to all inquiries. The home was cozy and nicely appointed with all the amenities for a stay at the beach. The fenced in yard was perfect for our fur babies. We appreciated being able to bring them with us. Love the proximity to the private beach. There were only a few families the entire weekend. Felt like our own paradise!

Boujee Beach House
We absolutely loved our stay. The house is beautiful and in an excellent location. We loved that we could bring our dog and that there was a fenced yard. We definitely plan on returning in the summer. It was such a relaxing stay that was very much needed.

Cozy Canal Home 4 Min Dr to Beach + Outdoor Space
Great and convenient location, clean and host was very accommodating. Will stay again!

Large 5bd Hot Tub w Ocean View, Firepit & Gameroom
Great house steps from the beach. Something to note if traveling with a group the upstairs is a loft and the noise from the kids room upstairs travels. Host was friendly and helpful. A couple of minor issues that would make it a nicer stay but overall great for our family getaway.

Beachfront Condo w/ Safe Access to Sand & Pool
Mary's place was a really great value and was perfect for what we needed on this trip. We liked being able to watch our teens from the balcony and they liked being able to walk to the beach on their own. It felt very safe.

Beach Front-Pickleball 2bd-2ba-King bd-W&D-Hot Tub
Angie’s place was great and exactly as described. The exterior of the complex could use some TLC but her unit is perfect. We enjoyed the view from the balcony for evening drinks and morning coffee. We were only there for two quick nights but it has everything you would need for a full week beach vacation. It was lovely and we will probably be back as our daughter is based in and out of Galveston on Carnival.

Beachfront first row home with swim spa
The house is gorgeous and it has the most amazing views. Sunrise from the master bedroom windows was the highlight of each morning. The owners were helpful and very responsive - we had one or two small issues at checkin that they handled immediately. We loved the closet of board games! The area is quiet and there is only one grocery store but it had everything we needed. We didn’t go to any local restaurants. A few things to consider: the listing says 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. This is true but one bedroom and bathroom is in an apartment downstairs so it wouldn’t be good for kids. It is a longer walk than it appears to the beach. It was fine for me and the kids but would’ve been way too far for someone with mobility challenges. The kitchen wasn’t as stocked as I had hoped (no real glass wine glasses, only plastic, not a lot of silverware, short supply of spatulas etc). Finally, there were no amenities for the beach, no buckets or shovels, no beach towels, so pack your own.

Beachfront | Fenced Yard | SwimSpa | 4 Bedrooms
Place was beautiful. View is amazing and the spa was great. Has everything you need with extra. Very well stocked.

Joyful beach house w/pool & tub
We had a fantastic stay. The pool was great to have and was very private from any neighbors. The home has a lot of great dining options nearby which we enjoyed. The house was beautiful and was a great place for a family vacation.

⛱ Beautiful Beachfront -- Biscayne Fantasea
We really enjoyed our stay at Fantasea. The air Bnb was clean , free from clutter , easy to find and easy to access . The owners were friendly. It was right on the beach . Beautiful views. They have a golf cart to offer with the property, which was very convenient to take to the beach. There are access bridges on both sides of the home.

Pelican Shores: 3BR Beachfront Bliss!
Stephanie's was flexible in accommodation and easy to communicate with on top of that Stephanie's beach house was in new condition the HVAC, electrical.plumbing, appliances tv, wi-fi. worked great! The views where amazing from the house. This is a great diamond of a place to stay and I will tell my friend's about her place and when returning to Crystal Beach I will book up again at Stephanie's beach house!

Mermaid Manor 1st row on the beach, dog friendly!
The mermaid Manor was everything me and my family expected and more . Very peaceful private and spacious home. Loved the fact that the home was right behind the beach. The host was very responsive. Quick to reply back to any questions I had and making sure we enjoyed are stay . Perfect getaway for the entire family.

Front Row Beach House Unobstructed Gulf View
House is in a great location right on the beach with easy access to and from. Being able to sit out on the deck and listen to the ocean was very peaceful!

*BEACHFRONT*Beautiful home DIRECTLY on the SAND
Amazing stay! - The home is exactly as advertised - The host was proactive and responsive. We will 100% book again and can’t thank our host enough. Hoan went over and beyond and we can’t thank her enough.

Breathtaking Beachfront Beauty*Sleeps 15*tiki bar
My family really enjoyed our stay! Right on the beach, roomy and comfortable. The deck was a good place to hang out with my grandkids and enjoy some crawfish!

Family/Pet friendly Crystal Beach -STEPS TO BEACH
This home was beyond beautiful. My family and I enjoyed such great intimate moments. This was by far the perfect place to have my brothers engagement surprise. Although, we had a few hiccups after our stay. Which really affected me emotionally. I’m happy to say we got through the rough patch. Gabriela was very helpful and very generous and understanding throughout our entire stay. She was by far the sweetest. I hope to stay again in the future!

Luxury Beachfront home w/Mezzanine 5BR/Sleeps 16
The location was absolutely perfect. The layout of the house is great for separation with groups. Plenty of space, plenty of views. We can’t wait to stay again.
