Home in Bolivar Peninsula, TX

Wake up to salty air, warm sunshine, and the realization that the beach is right there. Villa Verdie is a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath Crystal Beach getaway with room for up to 10 guests, an open layout, a well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of space to relax. Sip coffee on the balcony while enjoying Gulf views, then unwind on the patio after a hard day of doing absolutely nothing. Pets are welcome with an additional fee. Cargo Lift is also available for an extra fee.

The beachside location makes sunrise walks, midday swims, and sunset strolls dangerously easy. Inside, the bright, open layout keeps the living room, dining area, and kitchen connected, so nobody gets stranded away from the snacks. With three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms, the home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests and works especially well for families and groups. Outside, you’ll find deck seating with a swing, a shaded patio with a built-in picnic table, and an outdoor shower and foot-wash station ready to deal with the inevitable sand invasion. You’ll also have board games, smart TVs in the bedrooms, on-site laundry, and starter supplies to make settling in simple.

When it’s time to recharge, three private bedrooms are standing by with actual beds designed for actual sleep. The primary suite has a king bed and its own bathroom, while the other two bedrooms offer two queen beds and two full beds. With two full bathrooms, everyone has options: a walk-in shower for efficient de-sanding or a tub for anyone committed to doing absolutely nothing for a while.

Outside, the beach-house logic gets even better. Start the morning on the balcony with coffee and a salty breeze, head to the coast whenever the mood strikes, then return home and rinse off the evidence in the outdoor shower. After that, gather under the covered patio, claim a spot at the picnic table, and fire up the propane grill for an easy outdoor dinner. Minimal effort. Maximum vacation.

Villa Verdie is tucked into a laid-back section of Crystal Beach, surrounded by colorful coastal homes and conveniently located near beach access. The sand and Gulf are easy to reach, so beach trips require very little planning which is exactly how vacation should work. Crystal Beach is known for its wide, drive-on shoreline and relaxed atmosphere, with casual restaurants, small markets, golf-cart rentals, fishing, mini golf, and other beach-town essentials nearby. Spend your days swimming, shell hunting, surf fishing, cruising in a golf cart, or mastering the ancient art of sitting in a chair while staring at the water. The free Galveston–Port Bolivar Ferry also makes a fun day trip, though waits can be longer during busy weekends and holidays. This is a casual coastal community rather than a polished resort district, complete with salty breezes, sandy feet, and a wonderfully slower pace.

A car is the easiest way to get around Crystal Beach and the surrounding Bolivar Peninsula, especially for restaurants, shops, and attractions along Highway 87. Once you’re settled in, golf carts are a popular way to cruise around the neighborhood and travel to the beach, and several local companies offer daily or weekly rentals. Vehicles and permitted golf carts may also drive directly onto many sections of the beach, making it easy to bring chairs, coolers, and other beach gear. Guests arriving through Galveston can take the free vehicle ferry to Port Bolivar, though lines may be longer during summer weekends and holidays.

After booking, you’ll receive a unique, secure link to your personalized Guest Portal. Think of it as mission control for your stay—minus the complicated buttons. It includes your reservation details, check-in instructions, house rules, Wi-Fi information, door code, property address, and other helpful details. You can also use the portal to complete the online check-in form, sign any required agreements, view invoices or receipts, make secure payments, and purchase available extras such as early check-in, late checkout, or cargo-lift access. Certain sensitive information may remain hidden until required steps, such as payment or the check-in form, have been completed.

A cargo lift is available for an additional $75 access fee and is intended only for transporting luggage, groceries, and other approved items. It is never to be used as a passenger elevator, and no one may ride, sit, or remain on the lift while it is moving. Children may not operate or play near it. The gate must be completely closed and latched before use, and the lift should not be operated during storms, high winds, or whenever it appears damaged or unsafe. Guests are responsible for damage caused by misuse or negligence, and a separate acknowledgment may be required before access is provided.

The home accommodates a maximum of 10 guests, and only registered guests are permitted unless additional visitors have been approved in advance. Parties, events, large gatherings, and unauthorized guests are not allowed. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., so please keep music, conversations, and outdoor noise at a respectful level.

Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside the home. Approved pets are welcome with the applicable pet fee, but they must be included in the reservation. Please park only in the designated driveway and never underneath the house or too close to the support pilings. Exterior security cameras monitor the lower patio, upper deck, and beach-facing area for safety and security; there are no cameras inside the home.

Because the property uses a septic system, only toilet paper may be flushed. Please do not flush wipes, paper towels, feminine products, or other items, and do not pour grease, oil, or food scraps down the drains. The grill must remain in the designated downstairs patio area and may never be used on the upper deck. Please rinse off beach sand using the outdoor shower or hose, report any damage promptly, and lock all doors and windows whenever you leave and at checkout.
