2 Story Upscale Beachfront House With unobstructed Beach Views from every room.

Enjoy waking up from any bedroom with a view of the ocean. Have your coffee on the balcony of your bedroom or downstairs in a large den full of Windows with unobstructed ocean views. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs that share a balcony with an unobstructed view of the Ocean. The bedrooms upstairs has a wall of windows that face the ocean. You can just lay in bed and watch the ocean roll in with the brown pelicans and other salt air birds enjoying their habitat. There is a 4th bedroom downstairs. There are 3 full bathrooms 2 upstairs and 1 down. The large den Downstairs has a wall of windows that also has an unobstructed full view of the Ocean. The house is located in an upscale subdivision in Crystal beach. In Crystal beach you can rent golf carts to drive on the beach which is one of the many reasons I chose Crystal beach instead of Galveston.

Perfect House for a Family Vacation

We have rented a house at Crystal Beach for Memorial Day for years and years. This house is by far the best that we have rented. The owner is just lovely and is very communicative both before and after. The house is so amazing. We had plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. I usually have to bring a ton of extra stuff because the houses are empty - not this one. There was salt, pepper, cooking oil and spices. Tons of pots and pans plus silverware. We could have fed an army. The house amazingly clean. Lots of extra towels for the bathrooms. The location was perfect - you can sit on the porch and just watch the waves or the people whichever you like. Being on the front row is my favorite. Getting to beach is just a short drive away on the golf cart trail. This end of the beach is much much calmer than further down towards the ferry. Our favorite restaurant, Stingaree is just across the highway. The Big Store is really close too. Overall, a perfect place to stay.

Beautiful Views

Beautiful views from every room of this great home on Bolivar Peninsula! The kitchen was well equipped and home was the perfect size for our family of eight adults. Plenty of outdoor chairs and loungers for enjoying the views and sun or shade on the large partially covered porches! We hope to return to The Salty Lime!

Perfect for a family get-together

A Salty Lime is a gem! Great location - you can’t get closer to the beach unless you camp on it. The views from the decks are gorgeous and interesting at the same time. It’s located in a quiet, family friendly community. Virtually EVERYTHING is provided with the house - all we needed to bring were our food and clothes. The host was very congenial and reachable. We hope to bring the family back again soon.

Happy beach stay!!!

We totally enjoyed our stay at the Salty Lime! The views were awesome. It is a short walk to the walkway to crossover the dunes. We setup our beach site near to the walkway and were able to come back and forth to the house very easy. Our beds were very comfortable, A/C worked great and everything was clean and fresh when we arrived! We will definitely pick this house again to spend a vacation at the beach!

Amazing weekend

We loved this house! It was perfect for our family weekend getaway. Conveniently located near The Big Store for groceries and supplies, and Stingaree Restaurant. The views are amazing, enough parking for everyone, only a few blocks from a golf cart rental, and the house itself is very comfortable and welcoming. We will hopefully be back.

MOLD!!!! SEPTIC ISSUES!!!

Mold inside the house along with septic issues. The owner rented a porta potty but i didnt pay $816 a night to have to use a porta potty like a public place. I contacted vrbo about this issue but i guess its acceptable to have mold and septic issues, as long as you complain while renting the house. After the stay (which was only 20 hours) then theres nothing they will do about it. As i dont see this being a timely manner to report issues and get a new house to stay in. UNACCEPTABLE ON THE HOST AND VRBO.

Family beach trip

This is our second year to stay at this property. The location is excellent. The house is easy to get to from the road. It’s even better because it’s right on the beach. I love looking out the windows over the water. The night time view is beautiful as well with the ships coming in. It’s a very nice place to rest upon the balcony overlooking the beach

Great place!

They just don’t make places as close to the beach as this house! The view takes the cake, but everything about this rental was perfect. So many (comfy) sleeping options, fully stocked kitchen, kids beach toys, first aid kit, more than enough towels, laundry detergent, hair blow dryer AND straightener, every seasoning you could imagine, board games, I could go on and on… it’s cute, it’s clean, okay I’ll stop! I would recommend getting a golf cart because you have to walk around to get to the walkway and by then you could already be there via cart. I personally like to unpack my suitcase into dressers and luckily I got the only room with one. I would LOVE to stay here again!

Perfect!

We had a small family reunion and celebrated Father’s Day here. The location is wonderful and beach access is easy. The house is set up very well. Loved having one of the bedrooms downstairs and the rest upstairs so that I did not wake everyone up when I started cooking. It also helped to have the bedrooms upstairs away from the living area so the little ones could sleep. The kitchen is wonderful! It had absolutely everything we could want or need. we cooked a lot and there was never the issue of needing something that was not there. Everyone had such a great time And we all enjoyed the decks that look out toward the gulf. Not that this is a make or break on a house… But the decor is so cute! Everyone loved the pictures on the walls. The communication was great as well.

Awesome!!

The house is amazing!! We went with 6 adults and 3 kids and we were all very comfortable. The house was clean and tidy. Everything we needed was available. The house is not far from the grocery stores, restaurants or anything you would need. The only complaint we had was the wooden deck chairs don't have a bottom on the cup holder so you can't put a beer can in it!! 😂😂

Enjoyed the house!! The master bedroom upstairs has great views and big bathroom. We did have to take our truck out to beach with everything loaded in back so we didn’t have to make multiple trips. Well worth the beach tag(10.00) . Just make sure you take lots and lots of bug spray. The mosquitoes are out for blood!!!!!! Overall, I would stay again 100%!!!

Ladies Conference

Our church ladies group rented the Salty Lime to attend a conference. The house was so perfect for all of us to have room to rest and get ready. The view of the beach as idealistic. It was a wonderful experience and we will be renting next year as well. One of the ladies left their wallet and the owner was very kind. No only did she let us know that we left the wallet but mailed it to us. 10 stars!
