A firepit, a garden and laundry facilities are just a few of the amenities provided at Crystal Cove Cottage - BEACHFRONT Luxury Getaway - Fully Fenced & Pet Friendly. Guests can connect to free in-room WiFi.
Crystal Cove Cottage is a luxury beachfront property that sits directly on the beach with unobstructed ocean views nestled behind wildflower covered dunes with a quaint little path leading directly to the beach. It has a fully fenced in yard with no close side neighbors and is super close to the ferry so Galveston is just a skip, hop and a jump away and one of our favorite things to do; it runs 24 hours a day, is free and if you are lucky you can spot dolphins along the way!
Crystal Cove Cottage boasts an oversized deck where you can sit with your morning coffee or afternoon margarita and literally watch the ships sail in, which makes this house super unique. Away from the hustle and bustle of the party side of the beach, you can stroll the soft unrocky sand here without too much worry of traffic rolling by and there is a huge park right next to our little strand that’s perfect for a morning run or afternoon walk. If you like to fish, then this house is for you! We are right next to the boat dock and there are tons of good fishing spots right outside our doors.
This beach cottage was designed for couples and families in mind, not for partiers or large groups, there are plenty of larger houses on the big beach that you can rent if that is what you are looking for. This home is made for family memories, couple getaways and quaint holidays.
We have everything you will need during your stay from a fully stocked kitchen to sand toys and beach towels to lots of board games for those relaxing rainy beach days inside. This rental comes fully equipped with a washer and dryer and cleaning supplies for all of life’s little messes. You will find our home in pristine condition and we ask you treat it like you found it. We have a very strict NO SMOKING policy in which our thorough maid services double check after every booking to verify it has been treated with kindness and not been smoked in. If smoke smell of any kind is detected, you will be charged to repaint the entire interior, please just choose a different house! There are 2 exterior ring cameras provided for extra safety and security as well as a newly added baby/pet gate at the top of the stairs. We also provide all bed linens and bath towels, have all tv streaming services available and Wi-Fi is provided.
There is a fire pit downstairs so don’t forget to bring s’mores supplies for those Texas starry nights! An outdoor shower is also downstairs where you can rinse your feet off before heading inside as well as a 240 volt plug for anyone with an electric vehicle. The master suite has a full ocean view from every window and an en-suite bathroom with ample closet space for your luggage. Then the secondary guest bedroom also has ocean views from its window and a queen bed with its own private closet. Lastly we have the bunk room with 4 twin bunk beds perfect for the kiddos. There is a full bathroom in between the two with a shower and a bathtub, where the laundry closet is also conveniently located. The main living, dining and kitchen is all open concept and lined with windows to see the ocean from every room. The whole house was decorated by a high end interior designer from Houston, who took great pride in turning this beach cottage into what it is now, for you to enjoy. So look no further, there is no other Texas beach house out there like this one and we know you will have a wonderful time at Crystal Cove Cottage! *** If CCC is booked our sister property Gulf Pelican Villa is right down the street and equally amazing! https://www.vrbo.com/3854642?fbclid=PAAabLE5pg2FSNntjxACObONxHEqWCRys1H9TM7RQ1ffUhDD7-5FxuImW4mPQ_aem_ATWNT_QFsXCZxiIvmSp8gRXHOBRgjM4Fx6yg7s4wff7HM4GrxNtKMGoFIZJT5FIIj0o Both have access to the beach, fishing jetty, boat ramp and Bolivar Flats Bird Sanctuary, as well as right by the ferry.

Really enjoyed our stay. It was just the quick getaway that we needed. The house was well proportioned, well furnished and the layout was great for simply watching the waves crash ashore.Given the proximity to the beach it was a very clean, sand free beach house.
Such a beautiful beach house. Completely private, felt very safe. The details that have been added to the house truly gives you that coastal vibe. It was chilly while we were there on spring break in Texas, but the views from every room were outstanding and helped us “feel” summer is coming.
What a wonderful stay we had! Our dogs enjoyed the fenced backyard and private beach access. Close to the ferry to downtown Galveston and then 10min drive to restaurants and shops on the peninsula. The master bed was super comfortable with gorgeous views of the water. Very clean overall. Can’t wait to stay here again!
Very clean property and as described in the listing. Quiet area and steps from the beach so it was easy to take the dogs for a walk. A ferry is needed to get to it from Galveston, but it's free. No noise can be heard from the ships / port so it was quiet.Easy communication with qith the hosts.
We enjoyed how close the house was to the beach. It is the closest I have ever been in Galveston/Bolivar. Usually the dune areas are quite long but this one was very short.
The house is very nice. We will probably be back.
This vacation home was truly amazing! The pictures were spot on. It was so refreshing to pull into the gate, close it behind us & let our dog out to explore the nice size yard. It was also so nice to walk our dog at Fort Travis Seashore Park just next door. The oversized porch was lovely with a spectacular view of the gulf. We really enjoyed watching the ships come in & out. The home is beautifully decorated & is so relaxing. It had everything we needed & more. We look forward to staying here again!!
This place is amazing. Extremely clean, the decor is beautiful, and the deck overlooking the beach/ship & cruise line channel is beautiful. The beach is feet away from the beach. The bbq'ing on the deck overlooking the beach with the breeze was so relaxing. The beach is secluded and very clean. Hands down I will return. Thank you Carolyn and Prescott for an amazing stay. It was just what I needed!!!
The check in/out instructions were very detailed and clear. The property was updated, decorated tastefully, well maintained and squeaky clean. The neighborhood was private, quiet and very close to the Ferry, Fort Travis Park and the jetty. There were so many thoughtful details such as candles, extra flashlight, extra blankets, picnic basket ….the list is endless! The porch was amazing with an impressive view of the gulf. We really enjoyed watching the ships and all the shorebirds. Thank you for making our vacation spectacular! We will definitely be back to stay again in the future
This is a great house near a quite beach. The house was great. The views of the ocean is wonderful, with a quick few steps over the sand dune to the beach.
This is next to the shipping channel so you will see big ships throughout the day. The ferry ride takes between 45 min to typically 1.5 hours. We did have one day at noon during spring break that took 2.5 hours to cross on the ferry so plan your day accordingly if you want to go to Galveston. Generally early morning or late at night are the bet times to cross by ferry.
Best view and as close to a private beach as possible
This house is very different from any of the other houses we have stayed at on the beach. The beach is situated between a bird aviary sanctuary and a wall to break up the waves. Needless to say, the waves were not huge. This was perfect for my young children as well as for paddleboarding & kayaking without fear of tipping over.
We saw dolphins from the front porch and met really nice fishermen who taught our kids about catching crabs. My whole family loved it. Communication with the host was great. They don't use a property management service so I could actually contact them. It was a wonderful stay and we will most likely be back.
Wonderful host! The quick and easy communication made me feel safe and taken care of. It was the perfect place for our pup’s first vacation. Thank you!
The property view was a million dollar. I enjoyed my cup of coffee with the nost peaceful wave sounds and the amaIng view. Next to you have this amazing park which was perfect for an afternoon walks. I recommend it either if you want to have a peaceful days or going for fishing. Definitely i am planning of going back in the future.
The house was clean and welcoming! The location was wonderful! We spent all of time outside! The beach location seriously felt private, and was perfect for our kids! Host, we’re welcoming and even checked in during our stay to make sure we were ok! We will definitely be back!
The house was very nicely decorated just as the pictures show in the listing. We had a lovely time watching the ships and fireworks from the front porch. If you are looking for a quiet beach to relax this is it!
