We stayed at Rick's place for a girls weekend celebrating a birthday. The house was more than big enough for our group of 7 and we were able to spread out with plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with everything a cook needs and there was plenty of storage space in the pantry for the food and snacks we brought. It rained most of the weekend but there is enough of an overhang that we were still able to sit on the deck and enjoy the wonderful, unobstructed view. There is nothing better than sitting on the deck enjoying a cup of coffee or a cocktail with friends! Before our stay, I had questions multiple times about different things for the house and Rick was always very responsive-usually responding within a few minutes! The location of the house is very close to the Big Store in Crystal Beach so anything we forgot or needed was just a quick trip away. There is also a gas station at the light at the front of the neighborhood. We definitely plan on returning to Rick's place and have already talked about it. Thanks again for a great weekend!!!

Everything was great! Rick was very responsive and attentive. The kitchen is amazing and has plenty of space. The location and views of the beach/ocean were perfect. The home was clean and exactly as I would expect. I highly recommend this rental home.

Southern Waves is a beautiful beachfront beach house with amazing views on the decking! The inside of the home was spectacular! The photos don't do it justice! We rented this house for our wedding weekend and we were not disappointed! Was an easy walk down to the beach for the ceremony and pictures. The home itself made for a great backdrop as well. We arrived to find everything we could possibly need for our stay. We would love to come back and stay here and we highly recommend this house as well!!!! A perfect 10!

This beach front home is terrific! It is large enough to make large families (ours was 10+) feel very comfortable. The large deck overlooking the beach is a great place to spend hours just relaxing. You can't go wrong with this booking. Rick, the owner, will communicate easily with you and let you know what to bring and what to expect.

Loved this place and can't wait to rent again. It was above what we expected and so cozy. I did not want to leave.

Beachouse de Rick era increíble! La casa era exactamente como las fotos y coincidía con la descripción. Tenía todo lo que necesitábamos para un fin de semana fantástico. Rick hizo un gran trabajo al comunicarse con nosotros. Él era extremadamente rápido con sus respuestas a todas mis preguntas y se comprueba para asegurarse de que no necesitamos nada.

Great house, great location. The house is well appointed with all the amenities that you need. We were just a short/easy ferry ride from Galveston, had a fantastic beach location but we were still close enough to good restaurants and stores for anything we needed. We stayed 2 nights with 4 adults and 4 teenage boys prior to cruising from Galveston and it was the perfect start to our vacation. Hope to return in the future.

The quick stay was 5 star all the way. We look forward to a longer stay next time.

Our stay was wonderful! I can't say enough about this lovely rental. Every little detail has been addressed. The beds are comfy and well appointed. The kitchen has all you need. Just bring the food and you are set. First class, all the way. Thank you for raising the standard for quality beach remtals. We won't be able to settle for anything less in the future!

Beautiful beach house with close proximity to Crystal Beach. Everything provided and we really enjoyed our stay.

I'm proud to have been Matt's first guest at this wonderful beach house. I stayed here with friends over July 4th weekend and it could not have gone better. The first thing to note is how great of a location it is. It's located less than half a mile from The Big Store, the area's main grocery store (you will end up coming here), and a short walk to the beach itself. If you're into fishing, it's located almost halfway between Rollover Pass and the North Jetty. Location aside, the house itself was beautiful. The pictures do not do the please justice, the color on the walls was incredibly calming. It feels very spacious and its 3 bedrooms can sleep a lot of guests. The bathrooms are large and very roomy. The kitchen was well stocked with serving ware and kitchen ware and the open layout is great for entertaining. The house had all the expected amenities such as washer and dryer, wireless internet (WIFI), and an exterior 'beach' shower outside on the ground floor. Each room has a flat screen TV complete with cable and Roku boxes for streaming TV. One great thing we found out was that we could cast to the TVs from our mobile devices. All in all, staying here was an excellent time and it made for a great memories of a July 4th weekend at the beach. Matt was an excellent host; he was nice and responsive. I would definitely consider staying here again.

House was brand new and in excellent condition. The furniture and bedding was top notch. Host was very responsive and fairly flexible.

The stay was lovely. We had such a great time, and Matt did everything and more to ensure that the trip went smoothly. The house is wonderful, well appointed, and a couple minute walk from the beach. Also, it was great that we could bring the pup along for the fun!

Very accessible and Pet friendly. We walked to the beach and were relaxed to know that we were in such a secluded yet suitable location.

Estoy muy satisfecho! estancia increíble! Hermosa casa con todas las comodidades! Podría cocinar mi familia una comida completa! Es como un hogar lejos de casa, ideal para familias y varias personas muy amplias. Sin duda volvería de nuevo.

This was our first experience and we weren't sure what to expect. Once we arrived, the home exceeded our expectations. Matt was very attentive and accommodating from start to finish. The finishings and detail given to the entire home were wonderful making it really fee like our home away from home. We can't wait to come again!

This was an absolute fantastic home!!! From arrival to departure, there was nothing one might need that was not there. From a great convenience store just a block away to an amazing restaurant to watch the sunset -- just down the street!! We used the golf cart option, so never even had to get in one of our cars. Faith was an amazing host, even saw she has other houses on the island -- can't wait to check them out!!

Faith était un accueil agréable et très réactif quand je eu quelques questions. L'endroit est superbe et je le recommande à tous ceux qui cherchent à rester dans la zone.

Nos hôtes ont fait un excellent travail de nous sentir accueilli par leur attention aux détails et rapide correspondance quand nous avions une question. Même le décor créé une super ambiance dans la maison. Avec plusieurs petits gamins à la remorque, nous étions un peu inquiets de savoir jusqu'où la distance à la plage était, mais la maison était dans un (distance définitivement la marche) endroit parfait. Nos enfants ont passé un très bon moment dans la chambre avec lits superposés, et chevreau dimensionnés sièges / table à l'extérieur aussi. Nous avons vraiment apprécié l'attention aux détails en ce qui concerne "plaisir et de détente" si cela a été dans la fourniture de chaises de plage / verrière, avoir beaucoup de jeux de société à l'intérieur de la maison, ou (surtout!) Les hamacs sur le porche. Nous avons jamais séjourné dans la péninsule avant, et je était préoccupé par l'utilisation du ferry, faire les emplettes, etc. Il y avait une couple de fois nous avons dû attendre vraiment pour le ferry (côté Galveston), mais sinon, vous pouvez généralement obtenir le droit sur. En outre, il y avait un grand magasin juste un mile de la maison qui a tout ce dont vous aurez besoin dans la voie de l'épicerie. Grande maison, et nous recommandons à d'autres!

Our visit was AWESOME! The house was beautiful and clean. The whole experience what first class. Faith was a wonderful host.

What an amazing time!! Faith is such a gracious host. Highly recommended. We found ourselves on the patio every night enjoying the beautiful weather. The beach is four houses from the beach, which was closer than we expected. Very quiet area with very welcoming neighbors. We ate at Stingaree and Dannay Doughnuts, very good. The house itself is spectacular. So clean and well kept. The kitchen provided plenty of room for us to cook for our group of nine. There was no shortage of anything. Hopefully we can make it back in the future!!

Faith is great just like all the reviews state. Very reachable and always helpful. The house is excellent and nicer than any hotel in Galveston. There is no point in staying at the San Luis, Hotel Galvez or Hilton on the island if you are primarily interested in the beach. Even if you want to do something on the island, the ferry is a quick and free ride in non-peak seasons. It runs 24/7 too. At the end of your stay the only thing you will want is more time there.

Pura Vida was a perfect home for a low key celebration for my 40th birthday with close friends and family. What a gorgeous home! The house layout allowed us all privacy and the kiddos LOVED the bunk room! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the tools we needed for awesome meals. We made great use of both the upstairs & downstairs patios. Loved the dog run for our sweet 9 year old boxer. And last but not least, the quick walk to the beach was wonderful! We borrowed chairs and beach toys and enjoyed the beach for hours. The wagon was great to have on hand too. Communication with Faith was awesome! Really couldn't ask for a better beachside rental. Thank you!!!

This listing was described perfectly and made our week in Bolivar. Faith was very responsive to question, up front and so helpful with everything! The house was perfect for a big group and was so close to the beach. I would reccommend this listing to anyone who wants to have a really great time at the beach! The downstairs bar area was perfect for our entire group to hangout . Highly recommend !

Darlene made staying at her house very straight forward. She was not nit picky on our cleanup or checking out. Our biggest problem was the mosquitos in Bolivar.

Very nice house. Well maintained and clean. Good location, in a quiet neighborhood out of town. Easy beach access, plenty of room for our group.

Jonathan was an amazing host and was always available to answer any questions we had. The house was beautiful and clean. We were very impressed with the whole experience!!

We had a blast!!! Jonathan was easy to work with and would recommend to anyone. The place was great.

The host was very nice and always available to answer questions about the house or what was going on at the beach. He did tell us upfront that this was his first time using Airbnb and that he was still working on the house and getting some things together so there were some minor repairs that needed to be done but we spent most of our time at the beach or taking the ferry to Galveston. Overall my family and I enjoyed ourselves and the much needed break.

Nice roomy place for my family to relax.

Lots of space. Very quiet neighborhood. You can walk to the beach in about 2 min. Jonathan is quick to respond and can answer any questions you may have about the area. Definitely will be coming back again.

The cabin was spacious and located right by the big grocery store!

Jonathan was awesome. The place is very nice and roomy. Perfect location. Minutes walk from beach and main store across the street.

The house was amazing & Jonathan was available to answer all questions. Very clean, very quite area & is described perfectly. We really enjoyed our stay!

Nous avons eu un merveilleux séjour au Tropicana. Notre famille a apprécié la maison et la vie de plage. Je grandi dépenses Spring Break et les étés sur Port Bolivar donc je veux partager certaines de ces expériences amusantes avec mes enfants. Merci David pour rendre cela possible.

The tropical beach house was great! Myself and 5 of my friends went for an extended weekend getaway. The location was perfect for relaxing on one of the patios overlooking the ocean or opening the windows to enjoy the breeze and sounds of the ocean. The house is a very short walk from the beach and you can use the beach toys and chairs provided to take to the beach. We had minor issues with the wifi and oven, but David was great about staying in contact and helping getting the problems resolved. We had a fabulous weekend and hope to come back soon!

David has a great house right on the beach. He was flexible and easy to communicate with. We were just there one night, but it was great!

Un hébergement avec vue sur la première rangée parfaite. Encore mieux que sur les photos! L'emplacement est idéal parce que la zone est pas trop densément peuplée et la communauté est calme. Nous reviendrions ici.

Cette maison est exactement comme sur la photo. Aucune photographie truquée ici! Elle était propre et plein de couleurs joyeuses, et a eu des livres sur les effets ouragan Ike avait sur Bolivar. Les médias de nouvelles a mis l'accent uniquement sur Galveston, il était bon de voir le reste de l'histoire. La maison est juste derrière les dunes et il n'y avait rien qui bloque notre vue sur le golfe ou le bruit des vagues. Nous avons adoré! David était très agréable au téléphone, peu importe à quelle heure nous avons appelé, lequel de nous appeler, ou quelle question nous avons eu. Je souhaite que nous aurions pu rester plus d'une nuit, et la prochaine fois nous le ferons!

This has to be one of the most charming homes I've ever had the privilege of staying in. It was clean, and you have everything you would need their in the home. David was a gracious host and a great communicator during my short stay. The home's location is ideal for beach access. And if you like to relax, then you would love sitting on what I called the "Moon Deck" above the home, and enjoying breathtaking views of the gulf or the stars on a clear night! The neighbors are polite, and the area is peaceful. The entertainment system that comes with the home was perfect for me and friends to watch the playoff games while we grilled and drank brews. It was honestly the best beach weekend you can have in January, and David's home made it all possible! I will definitely stay here again upon returning to Crystal Beach in the future. You should too!

Our family from different parts of Canada met up in Texas for a long weekend getaway. We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house. As others have said the view of the beach is amazing. The house isn't big but makes very good use of space with a very large mixed kitchen/living room and three average sized bedrooms. The wifi and satellite signal were both in an and out. They would work for a while and then cut out on three devices. This wasn't a major concern as we didn't go there to spend much time on the computers or TV. The beds (at least the 2 Queens) were extremely comfortable. The view from the kitchen/living room, patios and the proximity to the beach were the highlights of this location. We would definitely return.

Absolutely fantastic house! Our group of 7 was very happy and comfortable. Beautiful view in a quaint & friendly neighborhood. David was a great host and very communicative. We enjoyed our stay at the house and look forward to visiting in the future! Wonderful experience all around!

Derek was so easy to communicate with all thru out the process. Description was perfect. Gorgeous home, so comfortable. Our only regret was we weren't staying longer. We weren't aware til just a week prior that we needed to take a ferry to get here but that just added to our fun. 24 hour ferry service, free & easy to do. I hope to stay here again. Blessings to you Derek.

We stayed 2 nights before our cruise and we loved the house. It was very charming with the nautical decor and very clean. We will stay again while in Galveston. Derek was also very quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you again Derek!

Ce fut un beau voyage. Derek n'a pas tardé à répondre à nous quand nous avions des questions et la maison a tout ce dont on pourrait avoir besoin. La douche extérieure était très utile en revenant de la plage de sable.

This home was perfect! Great location, beautiful interior (awesome open floor plan), short distance from the beach. Derek was available for some questions and very friendly. Pictures do not do it justice, must visit.

Großes Haus, Lage! Nah am Strand! Familienfreundlich! Schöne Küche Mahlzeiten zu kochen in!

We came for a quick 48-hour stay with my parents. The house is spacious and clean and easy walking distance to the beach. Note that there isn't much of a view from the house, which we didn't mind, but it is not beach-front. Derek was generous and super easy to communicate with throughout our stay. It's a great spot for couples, friends, families and pups!

美丽的家靠近海滩。

Ich mietete dieses schöne Strandhaus für meine Töchter 17. Geburtstag und es war ein absoluter Erfolg. Derek und seine Familie haben uns mit einem absolut schönen Anwesen. Die Bilder machen diese Eigenschaft keine Gerechtigkeit. Die Nachbarn waren nett und freundlich und als Derek erwähnt der Strand nur wenige Minuten entfernt ist. Ich kann diese Eigenschaft nicht warten im Sommer zu buchen.

I highly recommend this house! It's beautiful and modern and so relaxing. You can walk right to the beach. Noelle was an amazing host and great with communication. We can't wait to go back!

She was amazing, very helpfull, the place is great, we had some problems with the internet, that weren't that important since that allow us to enjoy our vacations even more without being contact or having acces to the media. We would definitely comeback soon. The house is amazing we loved it, specially the kitchen. Thank you so much for everything.

Gran lugar para alojarse! No me hubiera gustado estar en otro sitio!

Beautiful brand new home close to the beach. My granddaughters particularly loved the bunk bedroom - they thought it was really cool with the ladder between the two sets. We were in town for my niece's wedding and this home was only 1 mile from that venue. Kitchen was great to work in - I made 10 pies and 200 tarts for the wedding pie bar! Noelle met us upon arrival to show us around and make sure everything was OK. Very easy communicating with her prior to our arrival. Thank you Noelle.

The place was very nice, and the island was very relaxing

The house was great and very spacious. It had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood with great deck. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Just want to say thank you to Noelle for making her Holiday Hideaway available to our family. The place is gorgeous! It was perfect for us. Everything is so convenient, stores, restaurants and most of all the beach. The home had everything she stated it would. Rooms where very clean and spacious....loved, loved, loved it!

Hermosa casa. Buena ubicación. Servicios muy bien. Nuestra estancia fue fantástica! Nos encantó la cocina, la entrada y el espacio exterior. Las habitaciones estaban decoradas para ponerlo en el modo de vacaciones. Las camas eran cómodas y nos encantó la habitación de literas. La playa estaba cerca y tuvimos un gran tiempo. Volveremos de nuevo.

Melissa bize bir son dakika rezervasyon yaptırın yardımcı olmak için çok hızlı oldu. Evin büyük bir konumda olduğunu ve ailem ve bizim köpek için harika oldu! Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

Bizim kalmak burada harika, şaşırtıcı bir yerdir! Ben burada bizim kalmak hakkında hiç şikayet var. Ben gelecek misafirler tavsiye ediyorum tek şey kendi yastıklar getirmek! Yatak yastık lekeli ve kirli görünüyordu. Ayrıca ailem ve ben büyük bir yeni yıl burada olduğunu

My family had the best weekend. We were very relaxed and we felt at home. The house is very clean. The house it close to the beach. The beach is clean and everyone around is friendly. I will definitely book Melissa's home again.

The house is beautiful and relaxing. We had a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful home ! Carinn was super helpful and accommodating! Will hopefully rent this house again next year

Gorgeous and well-built home! Spacious, light, and it was beautifully decorated. The pictures don't reflect how big the rooms really are. The Master bed was like sleeping on a cloud. New appliances, everything you need in the kitchen, plus cable and wifi. Walking distance to beach and corner store. We will definitely be going back!

What a beautiful beach house! Our group of 12 had plenty of room and loved the finishes and decor. Nicer than the photos! My only constructive criticism (as a foodie and avid cook) is that, while the house sleeps 14, equipment to cook for that many was challenging, as far as pot/pan sizes. Sharp knives would be great too, and I usually bring my own but forgot this time. Helpful to other visitors: the fridge/pantry is completely empty so you will need to bring everything for meals (salt, pepper, etc). We will definitely consider this beautiful home on our next trip to Crystal Beach!

We absolutely loved our stay. The neighborhood is very nice. Very friendly. Carinn was so helpful and answered every question I had right away. We loved the house so much we will be requesting to stay in it again. Just a short walk down the street to the beach. You can even see it from the front porch. Gorgeous house! The pictures don't quite do it justice.

Carinn is an awesome host! She made our late check in super easy and even allowed a late check out on Sunday! The house is beautiful and in an awesome location. Literally looks and feels brand new! Great outdoor space for bbqing and tons of room inside. Our family of 6 had more than enough room. The bunk bed room is fabulous! The kids loved it. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve meals. The walk to the beach is super short. Literally close enough to walk back and forth to use the restroom or grab a bite to eat. The 'big store' is right down the road and has everything you'll need. This is the perfect place to stay if you are going to Crystal Beach! Carinn is an awesome host and I can't say enough good things about her wonderful Redfish Retreat! We will be back!

Carinn was an excellent host! Highly recommend her homes!

This is the perfect house for a weekend getaway. Carinn was very quick to respond whenever we needed her. The house is extremely nice and very clean. It was also very spacious for our party of 12. It had more than enough room for everyone. Grocery store is right down the street and has everything you need. The beach is very close to be able to hang out at during the day. I had a great birthday weekend and will definitely be staying at this beach house again.
