Owner very responsive

Had a great time - 6 people and no issues with hot water. Plenty of room for everyone. One of the smoke detectors started chirping overnight due to low battery. Emailed the owner since it was out of reach and needed a ladder - he had someone there 9:00 a.m. that morning to fix the issue. Beach was fairly busy on Saturday and Sunday (we stayed the first part of August). During the weekdays, much lower beach traffic.

Enjoy the Beach!!!

The location was amazing!! The beach was beautiful! The house was spacious, we bought a few extra box fans so every room would have one and left them there for future visitors. The property need an outdoor storage, we had to buy boogie boards and sand toys and couldn't take them home. I wish there was some there to use! It was fantastic and relaxing!!!!! Will visit again! We were a party of 7 adults and 1 teenager 2 tweens and 2 little ones! This place was perfect!

Great Location and View

You cannot beat the location of the house. The proximity to the beach made it easy to run back and grab something if we forgot it. Sitting on the patio at the end of the day made for great people watching as well. Check in was very easy. Listing was accurate. The beds were comfy but I would bring my own pillows as a few people did not like the ones provided (minor inconvenience). They recently installed a lift which was amazing when it came to hauling ice chests, food, and luggage up and down.

Loved it so much we booked it for next year!

We've stayed in beach houses in the area before but this one had the best location and space for all of us to be together; from the large deck to the spacious living room. The only drawback is that there is not a 50-amp hook up like shown in the pictures. It was replaced with a 110v outlet so our friends could not hook up their RV while visiting. But that worked out since the mosquitos were so bad on the lower level. Other than that, we can't complain. We booked it for the same time next year!

Good location, but the home is getting run down and needs LOTS of repairs and maintenance! None of this shows on the website or pictures. Way over priced for the quality of this home. Disappointing.

Amazing View

03-22-2024 to 03-25-2024 We really enjoyed our stay at "WaterHouse". The cabin was nice and comfortable. We over packed! Everything we brought was already available. The beds were comfortable. The location is perfect! The morning sunrise is breathtaking! We all enjoyed gathering outside each morning to watch the sunrise. Even the small children were mesmerized by the beautiful masterpiece. The weather was cold and windy but the cabin made our trip worth it. There wasn't anything to do on the Peninsula due to the time of year. I was surprised because it was spring break for some. We visited Galveston a few times. We stayed in mostly and played games. It was a great experience in spite of not being able to enjoy the beach. Next time -I will be mindful of scheduling our future trip for "in season".

Plenty of living space / but not all as described on listing

We went to the beach house for my 60th birthday on Easter weekend . Our group of 9 found it comfortable especially the dining/kitchen and living space is spacious , kitchen very well equipped .However , some couch were beat up and half of them did not work (lazy boy mechanism) . The description said 11 beds but there is 7 beds to sleep up to 12 people but the "kid's "room with bunk beds was useless . Nobody wanted to take those beds with the hassle to climb to the top and it was the warmest room in such a tight space ( the provided fans helped) .The description said 3 FULL BATH while in facts there were only 2 full bathrooms , and one of them was in the master bedroom and NOT connecting to the main hallway where the other 3 bedrooms were . Bottom-line 6 of our guests had to share a bathroom and half of them had to get through the master bedroom to shower when the bathroom was busy ,not practical ! there is an outdoor shower and a foot water spray down the stairs near the parking .We would have enjoyed the house location if it wasn't from all the cars, RV's, pick ups and noisy partiers allows to drive ON THE BEACH by the city of Crystal Beach . The outdoor space was spacious and beautiful view from the deck . There was only 4 seating chairs for the whole group , I thought there were more from the listing and pictures showing a hammock and more chairs .

Nice weekend getaway

The property and house were nice. Deck was great but there are nails protruding from the chairs and picnic table. A set of blinds was missing and there is an elevator that would have been great for my mom to use instead of climbing the stairs. Oh, it would have been good to label which switches go to which lights..especiallyin the room withbthe lit ceiling. We werent able to enjoy it at all. Replace the batteries in all of the remotes and something was wrong with the cable/wifi.Those are all small things. The deck is awesome! Great for relaxing at night and enjoying the breeze. I also really liked the space and setup of the house. The outdoor shower was super cool! Lots of great parking space!

A wonderful place to gather family and friends for the 4th of July

This property is in a perfect location. I mean it is a few feet from the beach. The porch is huge with front row views of gulf . The house is well maintained with nice stainless steel appliances and the host thoughy of all the little things that people often forget (hair ties, makeup wipes, floss, etc.). We had 10 people staying in the house and wveryone had plenty of room. Rhe master bed/bath were especially nice with a lot of room. I appreciated the fans provided in every room although the av wirjed wonderfully. Basically this is a great place to stay that won't leave you wishing you'd selected another place instead. The location can't be beat and the house is very thoughtfully set up for your comfort.

Beach trip with the family

House was in an excellent location. The house needs some repairs and furniture needs to be updated. It didn’t affect our stay. We still enjoyed the house and enjoyed our vacation. The house was clean and was well stocked. Would’ve liked to had more cabinet and closet space for our belongings but we made it work.
