The location and space was nice. We loved the deck, and the hosts were helpful and friendly. The listing shows washer and drying, and that’s true, but the washer left our clothes soaking wet and the dryer took forever and was so load. Most short term rentals I’ve been in provide shampoo, soap, conditioner but make sure you bring your own or prepare to buy!

Beach getaway

Enjoyed the stay- perfect location to the beach and just far enough away you’re not bothered by all the music and crazy peeps. Great patio upstairs and downstairs- constant breeze to stay cool! Would stay here again for sure!

Great Summer Vacation Spot!

The house was exactly what we expected. Very well kept property. The location is great for a short walk to the beach every morning. Crystal Beach will forever be one of my favorite vacation locations and we will very likely book the Salty Olive again!

Great spot for family!

I stayed with my spouse and children plus my sister and her family. The house was great! The beds were comfortable, and we had all we needed. The process was quick and easy, and communication with Tanya was great! We loved the neighborhood and how close it was to the beach. I highly recommend this house for any family looking to get away and enjoy some fun by the sea!

Crystal Beach Crab Festival

We had a great time. Recommend going during the Crab Festival. Friday night was wonderful there. Breeze blowing and comfortable temperatures. Saturday night was rained out. BUMMER! Only problem with house was hot water heater had to be replaced. It was done asap, but we still had two nights of cool showers and cold baths. Very convenient to beach. Beaches do not even compare to Alabama beaches, but storms had deposited a lot of seaweed on beach. You can drive on beach. Actually saw an ice cream truck there! We will probably be going back next year! Ferry to Galveston is recommended. We had a short visit in Galveston. Wish we could have had time to see more.

Property is in excellent location in proximity to beach, the Big Store, restaurants and shopping. House was very clean and more than adequate chairs, sheets, towels, fans, blankets and kitchen supplies. The host are extraordinary in quick communication and response time. Small issue with “smell” when water came from faucets upon arrival. Communicated with host and they immediately responded suggesting running all faucets for a few minutes. It worked! Just needed lines to “flush”. Highly recommend renting this property if small group. We were a group of 4 single ladies

Best Crytal Beach vacation so far.

We have spent our vacation at Crystal beach 5 times now and this has been the BEST stay. The Salty Olive was FANTASTIC, close to the beach, well-stocked with anything you could need. We had grandkids and great-grandkids with us and everyone loved the house. Will definitely return for future stays.

Great time

We just recently stayed at the salty olive and it was perfect. The kids had a blast and so did the adults. Short walk to the beach. Limited view of the beach but you can still hear it from the balcony at night and that’s all we cared about! Thanks for a great time, and great memories for our family!
