Bring your friends and family! 2 min walk to Beach. 4 bedrooms WITH a Loft!

The Sea Dragon is just a 2 minute walk to the beach with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great room, and loft. Bring the whole family or another family! We sleep 12-16 comfortably and the home was designed to gather with friends and loved ones. Downstairs there are 2 additional outdoor showers with hot/cold water. We provide all linens on the beds, beach towels, and towels for showering. When available free early check-in and late check-out is automatically given.

Located just off of South Crystal Beach Rd, approximately 500 feet from the beach, and an easy two minute stroll along the direct access road. Sea Dragon's central location makes it just a few minutes drive to groceries and restaurants. There is a gas station to fill up your golf cart on the direct beach access road too.

The Great Room features a well-stocked kitchen with a nearly 10 foot long island with 6 barstools, a dining room table that can expand to seat 12, and a 55" Smart TV and sleeper sofa to relax on! In the kitchen there is also a dishwasher, pantry, full size washer and dryer, and dishes and utensils for 24. There is a 72" ceiling fan in this large vaulted room with a remote. We provide a starter pack of dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, paper towels, and trash bags.

There are two wings on either side of the great room on the main floor. Each wing consists of a primary type bedroom, and a bedroom with built-in bunks, and bath that is shared between the two rooms. All bedrooms have mounted fans with a remote control. Each bed has 4 pillows and linens are all included. All bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and four rolls of toilet paper. The FREE Wi-fi is accessible in all bedrooms.

The loft on the second floor features a 50" Smart TV and wall-to-wall sectionals. There is over 20ft of seating for you to kick back and watch the big game or movies together. There are some toys and lots of puzzles and board games for all age levels.

Downstairs features 2 outdoor showers, a fish cleaning station and sink, propane grill, picnic table, deck box with beach toys, bench swing, hammock swings, and a web swing! There is also a conveniently located garden hose to make washing off your golf cart rental easy.

We try to keep the the deck box stocked with 8 beach chairs, 2 different types of sunshades, 3-4 boogie boards, and sand toys (this is NOT guaranteed but we do our best, please notify us if anything breaks or is missing so we can replace them).

Crystal Beach is located on Boliver Peninsula. It's a great place to relax with soft sand and gentle waves. Our family loves to boogie board, go crabbing, fish from the surf, and have bonfires on the beach. Most summer weekends you can even see fireworks on the beach, or bring your own to light off!

You can cruise the 27 miles of beach in your car, ATV, bike, or golf cart. There are many golf cart rental providers in the area and they will deliver and pick up from our home. Parking on the beach requires a $10 parking pass that is valid for the entire year, they are easy to purchase at the gas station or grocery store.

Great family vacation

This property is amazing and full of amenities. The beach is perfect for young kids to play and is within walking distance of the house. The house comes with beach toys and accessories making a day at the beach an easy way to spend your time. the only thing I wish I would’ve known in advance is that you have to take a ferry from Galveston to the island and the wait time for that ferry can be unpredictable. Overall, I would highly recommend this property.

The parking was kinda tight and the downstairs was small, but overall it was a great cabin! We loved how convenient it is to the beach and stores. She was so quick to respond and would text to make sure we didn’t need anything. I would definitely stay here again! And a huge plus for us, the rooms were dark and the beds were so comfortable.

The house was great. It looks bigger in the pictures online but still plenty of room. It states room to park 4 vehicles not 4 extra large trucks . Would definitely stay there again. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils.

Family Getaway

This place really is a home away from home. Truly a stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and located conveniently close to the beach. Owners have anticipated every need. We had an infant family member and the high chair was so convenient to have! The soaps provided are great quality and even in the outdoor shower downstairs making it easy to wash off. Kids toys upstairs and beach toys downstairs. The swings downstairs made an enjoyable hangout spot for younger members of the family and the tv room upstairs was great for the kiddos. Only thing on the wish list would be a bigger couch in the living room. We wanted for nothing and didn’t have a single item we needed to buy, because the owners already had it there! Planning on returning soon!

We needed a little break from everyday life! Our happy place is the beach. We loved this house as there was plenty of room for all of us(11). The loft upstairs was a great place for the children to play and hang out! they loved it!. The room setups were great for traveling with young children as we were able to set up pack and plays and not be crowded. We loved it!

Amazing 18th birthday

We celebrated my son's 18th birthday and we had a blast! We loved the proximity to the beach and the kids loved having their own space in the loft to play games and watch movies. Comfy beds and other furniture. Plenty of space to cook, entertain and feed everyone easily. We never felt crowded. We will definitely visit again in the future.

Wonderful Stay

We VRBO ourselves and love the split floor plan. Perfect for 2-3 families whose kids don’t mind a big slumber party upstairs. Beach and stores are all very close. Beach is active 24 hours a day. Store (walking distance) is open all night. Bring firewood! The house has everything you need and is very clean. This is a great choice for a fun beach trip without all the hustle and bustle of the island. Would suggest some kind of grocery/luggage lift, those stairs are hard on the older folks. Other than that, totally great place to be!

Great communication, fair treatment

Our trip was cancelled due to hurricane Beryl. Stephanie had reached out with details about conditions at the beach house and surrounding area in a timely manner for us to adjust travel plans, and gave us options for how to handle the situation. She was more than fair, including fully reimbursing us and offering a discount for the future! Thank you, Stephanie--I hope we get to stay sometime soon!
