Escape to the Bolivar Peninsula, between Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, at this superb family-friendly home with a furnished, ground-level patio, large balcony, and plenty of room for everyone in your group, all just a short walk from the beach. This home also includes a deluxe, full kitchen with high-end appliances and a breakfast bar plus an open and airy living area with a large sectional sofa and high ceilings. Outside, enjoy the sunshine on your furnished balcony or head down to the lower-level patio where you'll find an outdoor kitchen, counter seating, tables and chairs, and a cozy porch swing for lazy afternoons.
What's nearby:
Conveniently located near State Highway 87 for easy access up and down the peninsula, this secluded Crystal Beach home is just a short drive and a fun ferry ride from historic Galveston (15 miles).

For a little fun, take the whole family to the very casual, nine-hole, Crystal Beach Community Golf Course, just a mile away. Or take a short stroll and find yourself on miles of sandy, Gulf Coast beaches.

Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
