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.

Fantastic stay! Our family loved this house. Amenities were plentiful; the kitchen was fully equipped and we loved the large kitchen island. Beds were very comfortable and what’s not to love waking up to a beautiful sunrise from your balcony. Renee our host thought of everything for a pleasant stay. Sorry we didn’t have more days.

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
