About this property

Crabby Cove – Peaceful Coastal Retreat Near Gulf, Bay & Intracoastal

  • Crabby Cove is a peaceful 1‑bedroom, 1‑bath coastal retreat located in one of the quietest areas of the Bolivar Peninsula. The home sits between the Gulf, Galveston Bay, and the Intracoastal Waterway, giving the area a wide‑open coastal feel with natural wetlands, bird activity, and occasional barge traffic. Guests love the calm, uncrowded setting and the slower pace that makes this part of the peninsula so relaxing.

    Inside, the home offers a comfortable layout with an open living area, well‑equipped kitchen, and Roku TV for easy streaming. The cozy design makes it easy to settle in and unwind, and the single bedroom provides a quiet, comfortable space for couples or small families.

    The outdoor deck is a favorite spot for morning coffee, evening breezes, and watching the quiet coastal scenery. Because the home sits in a low‑traffic area, nights are peaceful and the stars are easy to see. It’s a wonderful place to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

    Crabby Cove is near the future Rollover Pass pier and just 5 minutes from a public boat ramp to the bay, making it a great choice for guests who enjoy fishing, boating, bird‑watching, or simply being close to nature. While the home is not near restaurants or shops, everything in Crystal Beach is an easy drive away, giving you the best of both worlds: quiet seclusion with convenient access when needed.

    Please note: the home is elevated and requires climbing 28 stairs to reach the main level.

    Whether you’re planning a couple’s trip, a small‑family getaway, or a simple coastal escape, Crabby Cove offers a comfortable, affordable stay in a peaceful setting you won’t find in the busier parts of the peninsula.
    Guests must be 25+ and staying for the entire reservation. No unapproved parties or events. Pets allowed with approval and must stay off all furniture. No smoking or vaping inside the home. Quiet hours are 10 PM–8 AM. Please respect the neighbors at all times. Follow all safety guidelines, supervise children on decks and stairs, and use only the top lock when entering. Any disruptive or unsafe behavior may result in immediate removal with no refund.
