THE NEIGHBORHOOD — CRYSTAL BEACH, BOLIVAR PENINSULA
Crystal Beach is laid-back Gulf Coast living — quiet streets, salt air, and the beach a short walk away. You're steps from Bolivar's 27 miles of wide, drive-on beach, perfect for swimming, shelling, fishing, crabbing, birdwatching, and sunrise or sunset strolls (15 mph speed limit, no glass on the sand). Local seafood spots, beach shops, and casual eateries are just minutes away.

GETTING AROUND
A car is recommended — it's how you'll reach the beach, local spots, and the ferry, and there's free on-site parking for up to 6 vehicles. The free Galveston–Bolivar Ferry (about 18 minutes) connects the peninsula to Galveston Island and its restaurants, historic Strand district, and Pleasure Pier. Highway 87 runs the length of Bolivar, linking Crystal Beach to shops, restaurants, and neighboring beach communities. Both Houston airports are roughly 1.5–2 hours away (Hobby/HOU is usually the closer drive; Bush Intercontinental/IAH a bit farther).
PERFECT FOR Family reunions, multi-family vacations, group celebrations, and large gatherings.

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1500 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $59 for stays up to 9 nights, with an additional $3 per day for stays longer than 9 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
