Find your happy place under the sun at this incredible Crystal Beach home! Boasting glittering gulf views and an ideal location just steps from the sand, this dreamy retreat is primed for carefree coastal living. A waterfront lawn deck offers sun-soaked lounging, while the shaded patio beneath the house offers a breezy spot for alfresco dining. There's even a gas grill provided for home cookouts. The main deck features covered and open-air seating areas. Anglers in the group can fish directly from the surf or book one of the many local charter services for off-shore excursions. When you want a break from the beach, cruise down to Fort Travis Park to tour the fort and learn about the area's military history. From there, you can catch the ferry over to Galveston. After the day's adventures, rinse off in the home's handy outdoor shower.

The living room welcomes indoor downtime with plush seating and a smart TV. The bonus room can double as a happy hour lounge or a daytime office, with features including patio sofas, and a built-in desk. Plan and prepare family-style meals with ease in the well-appointed stainless steel kitchen. A wet bar is equipped in the dining area for added convenience. Home essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.
