The house was very welcoming, beautiful and roomy. Great location, walked to the beach multiple times! Guest welcome book was very helpful. Richard was quick to respond to all of my text messages, which was truly appreciated. They thought of everything to make you feel right at home and comfy. Really enjoyed our short staycation. Thanks again, we had a wonderful time!
We really enjoyed our stay in this house. It had everything you need and then some. Owners thought of everything and were very responsive. My only thing would be if you are trailering a cart or buggy or bringing a boat, the driveway and area underneath the house is very narrow. Not alot of space to park many cars if you are bringing a group. Its a great house in a great location!
What a beautiful home! From the bottom to the top and all the in-between, this family home is a beach paradise! All the details were noticed, gorgeous views from the balconies, beautiful,stocked kitchen for preparing meals, comfy sofa for TV watching, amazing beds and wonderful smelling, clean linens. Additional TVs in all the bedrooms and a large dining table for sharing meals and lively card games! 4 generations made so many lovely memories in this amazing beach home. Thank you for sharing it with us! What a blessing to experience a few days here.
Sea Sand Stars review:
What a fantastic place!
The Host: Richard was super communicative throughout the booking process and provided very clear directions to access the house, get checked in, and made sure everything went smoothly.
The House: Easy to find and a short drive from Houston. The yard was well kept and the driveway clean. The house was beautiful with 2 story living space (2nd and 3rd floors). The interior was super clean and modern with all needed amenities! Beds were comfortable with extra blankets and pillows if needed. Kitchen was well equipment with place-setting for 10 people. There were many games to play also (we had a multi-day Monopoly game)! The house also comes with a charcoal grill downstairs - we made burgers!
The Beach: SO MUCH FUN! The kids spent all day in the surf playing in the waves and collecting hermit crabs. We rented a golf car and cruised up and down the beach and my husband went fishing in the surf.
Such a fun trip
We loved our stay! The house is beautiful and so close to the beach.
Our family was able to stretch out and relax in the spacious home.
We cooked meals and enjoyed drinks on the deck.
Would stay again!
Our family had a wonderful trip. This home was perfect and had everything you could ever need. The decor was so nicely done too! We cannot wait to go back.
Property was a short walk from the beach, well decorated and cozy. We brought games but did not need them as they had plenty! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat with. Will definitely stay again!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and clean. This was my teenagers favorite house we’ve rented on Crystal Beach. We hope to be back next summer.
Beautiful home just as shown. Great layout & space for our group. Bedrooms accommodated us very well and location to the beach was easy. We walked & no need for a cart rental needed by us.
Would stay here again!
We had a great week at Sea, Sand, and Stars! The home was very nice and very clean. Plenty of room for two couples with children. Short drive/walk down to the water and nice views from the outside spaces as well.
The home is gorgeous, warm and welcoming! Great communication with the owners and the house was stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be trying to book again!!
Home is beautiful and provided such a calm & relaxing ambiance. You can tell they take great care in providing an experience guests can enjoy (love the games!)
Richard was very easy to get in contact with before and during our stay. The house is VERY clean and just a short distance from the beach which was convenient. Highly recommended!
