Welcome to Unit B, your comfy slice of our Crystal Beach triplex. The ocean is close, like “grab your stuff and you’re on the sand” close. So salty air, sunset walks, and expertly timed beach naps are basically part of the package. Feeling adventurous? The ferry to Galveston is nearby. Then you roll back home, ditch the flip-flops, and do what beach people do best: kick back, laugh a little, and collectively agree Monday is a problem for Future You.

Here's a vacation strategy that rarely fails: stay close to the beach. This house is just a 5-minute walk or 1-minute drive from the sand, depending on how much beach gear you're hauling. After a day in the sun, rinse off in the outdoor shower, grab a drink at the downstairs bar, and let the kids or dogs run wild in the fully fenced yard. Recently remodeled from top to bottom, it's built for easy, memorable beach vacations.

• The entire 3-bedroom, 2-bath house is yours. No shared spaces. No awkward encounters with strangers looking for the bathroom.

• Fully equipped kitchen for everything from pancake breakfasts to "we should probably just order pizza."

• Comfortable living room for movie nights, afternoon naps, or debating who forgot the sunscreen.

• Upstairs deck with seating and fresh Gulf air. Coffee tastes better out here. Science probably backs that up.

• Downstairs tiki bar because vacation beverages deserve a proper venue.

• Outdoor seating area perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach.

• Sand shower for rinsing off before you accidentally bring half of Crystal Beach into the house.

• Fully fenced backyard where kids and dogs can burn off energy while the adults pretend they're supervising.

• Garage access is available for guest use.

Self check-in is simple, we'll send you a lockbox code before arrival so you can get straight to vacation mode. Inside, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen with the cookware, dishes, and utensils needed for everything from big family meals to late-night snacks, along with board games, books, and reading materials for downtime between beach trips. Outside, enjoy the upstairs deck, downstairs tiki bar, outdoor seating areas, sand shower, charcoal grill, propane fire pit, and fully fenced backyard. Whether you're grilling dinner, gathering around the fire pit, or relaxing with a good book, you'll have plenty of ways to enjoy your time at the beach.

I'm available throughout your stay if you need anything. The fastest way to reach me is through the Airbnb app, since notifications come through immediately and I can usually respond pretty quickly. If you prefer, you're also welcome to call or text. Whether you have a question about the house, need a local recommendation, or run into an issue during your stay, I'm just a message away and happy to help.

Crystal Beach is the kind of place where flip-flops count as acceptable footwear almost everywhere and nobody's in much of a hurry. Located on the Bolivar Peninsula, it's known for miles of wide, drivable beaches, great fishing, local restaurants, and a laid-back coastal vibe that makes it easy to forget what day of the week it is.

This home sits in a quiet neighborhood just a short 5-minute walk from the beach. You're close enough to hear the occasional seagull arguing with another seagull about absolutely nothing, but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful evening on the deck. Need groceries, bait, ice, or supplies for an impromptu beach picnic? Everything is just a short drive away.

When you're ready to explore, you'll find local seafood spots, beach bars, live music, fishing charters, and family-friendly attractions nearby. Margaritaville is just minutes away, and one of Crystal Beach's best features is that you can actually drive onto the sand, making beach days remarkably convenient for anyone hauling chairs, coolers, umbrellas, kids, or all four at the same time.

Whether you're here to fish, relax, build sandcastles, hunt for seashells, or simply stare at the Gulf while doing absolutely nothing productive, Crystal Beach is exceptionally good at helping people slow down and enjoy themselves.

For most places on the peninsula, you'll want a vehicle. Restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and attractions are all just a short drive away, but they're spread out enough that walking everywhere would quickly turn into an unexpected fitness program.

One of the best parts of Crystal Beach is that vehicles are allowed directly on the beach with a valid beach parking permit, so loading up chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and beach gear is much easier than carrying everything by hand. Golf carts are also a popular way to get around and can be rented locally. Many visitors use them to cruise the neighborhood, head to the beach, or make quick trips around the area. Whether you choose a car, truck, or golf cart, getting around here is less about traffic and more about deciding which beach access road to take.

Your Austin home base, minus the hotel hallway. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath half-duplex gives your crew a comfortable place to land in a central Austin neighborhood, with the city within easy reach. Spend the day exploring, eating your way through Austin, or getting things done. Then come back, kick off your shoes, and make yourself at home. Simple, comfortable, and ready for your Austin adventure.


You’ll have your own side of the duplex with plenty of room to settle in and make yourself at home.

Inside are 3 bedrooms, each with its own bed: one king bedroom and two queen bedrooms. There’s 1 full bathroom, a comfortable living area, a full kitchen for everything from morning coffee to “we bought way too much food at H-E-B,” and an in-home laundry room for longer stays.

Guests also have access to the backyard, giving you a little extra space to step outside, relax, or let the Austin air remind you that yes, you did in fact come to Texas.

The home is simple, comfortable, and set up to give your group an easy place to land between Austin adventures.


Guests have access to the entire Unit A side of the duplex, including all 3 bedrooms, the full bathroom, living area, full kitchen, laundry room, and backyard.

You’ll have your own private entrance and can make yourself at home throughout the space. The only areas off-limits are any clearly marked or locked owner/maintenance closets.

Please remember this is one side of a duplex, so the neighboring unit is separate and not included with your stay.


I’m not usually available in person, but I’m never far away. The best way to reach me is through the platform’s messaging system, where I’m available to answer questions, help with anything that comes up, or point you in the right direction during your stay.

You’ll have your privacy, but if you need me, just send a message.


You’re staying in a central Austin neighborhood that makes a pretty solid launchpad for the city.

Downtown, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, parks, and everyday essentials are all within easy reach, so you can spend less time commuting and more time actually doing Austin things.

The neighborhood itself is residential and low-key, which is nice when you’re ready to come home and decompress after a day of tacos, traffic, live music, or all three.

It’s not a resort district, and that’s kind of the point. You get a real Austin neighborhood with convenient access to the places you actually came here to visit.


Getting around Austin is easiest by car, rideshare, or rental car. The home has one designated driveway parking space for guests, so you won’t have to play the downtown Austin parking lottery when you get home.

Uber and Lyft are readily available in the area, and you’ll have convenient access to major roads for getting around the city.

Please do not block neighboring driveways, sidewalks, or access areas. If your group has more than one vehicle, plan ahead for legal street parking nearby where permitted.

Austin is spread out, so wheels are definitely your friend—but once you’re out exploring, tacos, coffee, parks, and downtown adventures are never too far away.


HOUSE RULES

We’re not trying to ruin anyone’s vacation with a giant rulebook. Most of this boils down to: enjoy the house, be cool to the neighbors, and leave things roughly where you found them.

• Minimum booking age: The primary guest must be at least 21 years old, must make the reservation themselves, and must remain at the property for the entire stay.

• Registered guests only: Only guests included on the reservation may stay at or visit the property unless approved in advance. Please don’t turn a reservation for four into a surprise family reunion.

• No parties or events: This is a home, not a nightclub with better throw pillows. Parties, events, and large gatherings are not permitted.

• Quiet hours: Quiet hours are 10:00 PM–8:00 AM. Please keep music, conversations, and outdoor activity at a respectful volume. People actually live around here.

• Respect Unit B: This home is one side of a duplex. Unit B is completely separate, so please do not enter, approach, knock on, or disturb the neighboring unit or its guests.

• Parking: There is space for one vehicle in the driveway. Please do not block sidewalks, neighboring driveways, streets, yards, or access areas.

• No smoking or vaping: Smoking, vaping, or similar activity is not permitted inside the home. Evidence of smoking or vaping inside the property will result in a $250 charge.

• No unauthorized pets: Pets are not permitted unless specifically approved in advance. Bringing an unauthorized pet onto the property may result in a $179 charge, plus the cost of any additional cleaning or damage. Approved service animals are handled in accordance with applicable platform rules and law.

• Exterior security cameras: Please do not cover, unplug, disconnect, reposition, damage, or otherwise interfere with any exterior security or monitoring equipment.

• Locked closets stay locked: Any locked owner, supply, or maintenance closet is off-limits to guests. Please don’t attempt to open it. We promise there’s no treasure in there.

• Remotes have homes too: Please return TV and other remotes to their designated location before checkout. Remotes are remarkably talented at disappearing into alternate dimensions.

• Lost & Found: Double-check for chargers, AirPods, favorite pillows, children, etc. before leaving. If we locate a forgotten item and you would like it shipped back, there is a $50 handling fee plus the actual cost of shipping.

• Report problems right away: Accidents happen. Things break. Toilets occasionally choose violence. If something is damaged, leaking, malfunctioning, or just seems wrong, please message us immediately. The sooner we know, the sooner we can help.

• Don’t move the furniture: Please leave furniture, TVs, decorations, appliances, and other larger items where you found them. Rearranging the house for your stay sounds fun until someone has to put it all back.

• No candles or open flames: Candles, incense, and other open flames are not permitted inside the home.

• No illegal activity: Illegal substances, unlawful activity, dangerous behavior, or anything likely to result in an awkward conversation with law enforcement is prohibited.

• Keep the home secure: Lock exterior doors and windows whenever you leave the property and again when checking out.

• Take care of the backyard: The backyard is yours to enjoy during your stay. Please clean up after yourself and leave outdoor furniture and other items where you found them.

• Trash: Please place trash in the designated bins. Do not leave loose trash, food, or garbage around the home or backyard.

• No glitter or confetti: It seems innocent. It is not. Glitter has a half-life of approximately 400 years. Please leave it at the party store.

• Respect the property: Please treat the home, furnishings, backyard, neighbors, and surrounding property with care. If damage occurs beyond normal wear and tear, the guest may be responsible for repair or replacement costs.

• Checkout: Please follow the checkout instructions sent before departure and leave the home reasonably tidy. No need to perform a full cleaning—that’s our job—but please don’t make the cleaning crew question their career choices.

Basically: have fun, enjoy Austin, respect the house, respect the neighbors, and don’t make us add a new rule because of you. 😄

The Gulf is close here. You hear it before you see it. The wind comes off the water and moves through the pilings and the decks, and for a little while the rest of the world feels far away.

This three-bed, two-bath beach house sits in the heart of Crystal Beach, on the Bolivar Peninsula where the sand runs wide and flat and the days are simple: beach, sun, good food, and sleep. Families come here for long, easy days on the shore, fishing trips, and lazy drives on the sand.

Inside, the home is built for people to be together. The living room is open and bright. There is an electric fireplace that throws a soft glow on cool nights, with a big sofa where kids sprawl after the sun and salt have worn them out. The kitchen opens to the room, so whoever is cooking is still part of the talk.
Sleeping arrangements
- Bedroom 1: King bed
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed
- Bedroom 3 (bunk room): Two twin-over-twin bunks

Two full baths make mornings and after-beach clean-up simple, even with a full crew.

Outside, there is space to sit, eat, and watch the light change. A partially covered deck works for morning coffee when the air is still cool or for a last drink when the stars come out. Below, you’ll find outdoor seating, a dining area, and a grill, so suppers can be cooked and eaten in the open air.

Down in the garage hangout, the day runs a little later. There is a propane fire pit, chairs pulled around it, and room for a cooler with a few outdoor games. It is a good spot for a guys’ trip after a day of fishing, or a girls’ weekend with music low and the fire burning while the wind comes in off the Gulf.

Guests have the run of the place. They step into the house and it is theirs—the wide living room, the three bedrooms with their good beds, the two baths where the sand is washed away, and the kitchen where coffee is made early and supper is cooked late. They walk out to the upper deck and sit in the shade or the sun, eating and talking while the wind comes in off the water. Below, they have the ground level with its tables and chairs and the grill where the day’s work is done over open flame. In the garage there is a place to sit by the propane fire, to talk quietly and watch the night. The laundry is there when it is needed, save for one locked renter’s locker that is kept for the owner. The attic stays closed and forgotten. Everything else is open to them, simple and clear, with no one to bother how they use it so long as they treat it well.

I am not local to the area, but I am close by when you need me. The best way to reach me is through the platform’s messaging system, where I answer quickly. If something is urgent, you can also call or text, and I’ll help you sort it out as soon as I can.

The house sits in a quiet pocket near the center of Crystal Beach. The streets are simple and low, with houses on pilings and the Gulf out in front of it all. You hear the surf on still nights. In the morning, you can be on the sand in a short walk or a quick golf cart ride, driving along the wide, open beach the peninsula is known for.


Around you is an easy-going beach town. People move slow here. Families set up canopies on the shore and stay all day. Golf carts roll along the back roads and on most stretches of beach where they’re allowed, and there are simple places to eat, pick up bait, or grab ice and groceries just a short drive away.

At night the neighborhood is mostly quiet. You sit on the deck and see porch lights, a few carts heading home, and the dark line of the Gulf beyond. It feels like a place made for small things done well—coffee on the porch, a walk to the water, children with sand on their legs and salt in their hair, and the kind of sleep that comes easy after a day outside.

People get around Crystal Beach in simple ways. The roads are flat and easy, and most days you see as many golf carts as trucks. Many guests rent a cart for the stay and use it to ride down to the sand, move between beach access points, or roll over to the store and the restaurants along Highway 87, always keeping to the slower roads and local rules.
You can drive your own car or truck right onto most stretches of the beach with a Bolivar Beach parking sticker, then park by the water and set up for the day.

 Some people never leave the peninsula once they arrive—they come in on the ferry or down the highway, stock up at the Big Store, and then spend the days moving between house, beach, and a handful of local spots. However you travel—cart, car, or on foot—you move at a slower pace here. The distances are short, the sky is wide, and it is easy to get where you are going without much fuss.

Please take a little time at the start of your stay to read and understand these rules. They keep the house in good order and make the place fair for everyone who comes after you.

The house sleeps 8 people. Any extra guests must be cleared with me before booking. Only registered guests may stay. Visitors need my approval first.

Do not park under the house. Use the driveway only and take care not to hit the pilings.

There is no smoking anywhere on the property.

If a key is lost, or you are locked out after we have tried all normal access options, you will be responsible for any locksmith or re-key fees (call-out, labor, parts, after-hours charges). If the problem is caused by a bad lock or by our mistake, we pay it.

No parties. No events.

No illegal activity on the property.

Do not leave food sitting out. It brings pests.

Keep the house reasonably clean as you go. It makes check-out simpler for everyone.

If something is damaged by accident, tell me as soon as you can. I will look at it and we will handle it in a fair way.

Keep noise down at night so neighbors can rest.

Do not move the furniture, inside or out. That includes chairs, picnic tables, and anything set in place.

Grill only downstairs on the patio, never on the deck. That is a county rule. Please clean the grill after you use it.

Rinse sand off with the shower downstairs and leave sandy shoes at the door or on the deck by the entrance.

Do not flush feminine products or anything that could harm the septic system.

Do not pour grease down any drain.

If something breaks, let me know. I understand that accidents happen. If the damage comes from careless behavior, the cost may fall to you.

Lock all doors when you leave the house.

If guests are asked to leave because of rule-breaking or reckless behavior, there will be no refunds.

In a mandatory hurricane evacuation, you will receive a full refund or a credit for any unused nights.

We are not responsible for accidents, injuries, or lost or stolen items during your stay.

By booking, you accept responsibility for your own safety and for the safety of any guests you bring.

There are no lifeguards on Crystal Beach. You swim at your own risk.

Treat the house with respect, as you would want someone to treat your own home.

Most of all, come to enjoy the place. The house, the beach, and this stretch of coast are meant for simple, good days. We hope you rest well here and leave with the kind of memories that last.
