Bring your friends and family! 2 min walk to Beach. 4 bedrooms WITH a Loft!

The Sea Dragon is just a 2 minute walk to the beach with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great room, and loft. Bring the whole family or another family! We sleep 12-16 comfortably and the home was designed to gather with friends and loved ones. Downstairs there are 2 additional outdoor showers with hot/cold water. We provide all linens on the beds, beach towels, and towels for showering. When available free early check-in and late check-out is automatically given.

Located just off of South Crystal Beach Rd, approximately 500 feet from the beach, and an easy two minute stroll along the direct access road. Sea Dragon's central location makes it just a few minutes drive to groceries and restaurants. There is a gas station to fill up your golf cart on the direct beach access road too.

The Great Room features a well-stocked kitchen with a nearly 10 foot long island with 6 barstools, a dining room table that can expand to seat 12, and a 55" Smart TV and sleeper sofa to relax on! In the kitchen there is also a dishwasher, pantry, full size washer and dryer, and dishes and utensils for 24. There is a 72" ceiling fan in this large vaulted room with a remote. We provide a starter pack of dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, paper towels, and trash bags.

There are two wings on either side of the great room on the main floor. Each wing consists of a primary type bedroom, and a bedroom with built-in bunks, and bath that is shared between the two rooms. All bedrooms have mounted fans with a remote control. Each bed has 4 pillows and linens are all included. All bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and four rolls of toilet paper. The FREE Wi-fi is accessible in all bedrooms.

Primary Bedroom 1: King Size Bed, Computer Desk and 40" Smart TV in Armoire
Bunk Room 1: Full size bed over a Queen size bed
Primary Bedroom 2: Queen Size bed, Computer Desk, and 43" Smart TV
Bunk Room 2: Queen size bed over a Queen size bed
Great Room: Full Size Sleeper Sofa
Loft: Two Queen Size Sleeper Sofas

The loft on the second floor features a 50" Smart TV and wall-to-wall sectionals. There is over 20ft of seating for you to kick back and watch the big game or movies together. There are some toys and lots of puzzles and board games for all age levels.

Downstairs features 2 outdoor showers, a fish cleaning station and sink, propane grill, picnic table, deck box with beach toys, bench swing, hammock swings, and a web swing! There is also a conveniently located garden hose to make washing off your golf cart rental easy.

The outdoor showers have plenty of hooks to hang wet swimsuits and is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We try to keep the the deck box stocked with 8 beach chairs, 2 different types of sunshades, 3-4 boogie boards, and sand toys (this is NOT guaranteed but we do our best, please notify us if anything breaks or is missing so we can replace them). Propane for the grill is also not guaranteed, we will reimburse you if you need to swap it out.

Crystal Beach is located on Boliver Peninsula. It's a great place to relax with soft sand and gentle waves. Our family loves to boogie board, go crabbing, fish from the surf, and have bonfires on the beach. Most summer weekends you can even see fireworks on the beach, or bring your own to light off!

You can cruise the 27 miles of beach in your car, ATV, bike, or golf cart. There are many golf cart rental providers in the area and they will deliver and pick up from our home. Parking on the beach requires a $10 parking pass that is valid for the entire year, they are easy to purchase at the gas station or grocery store.

Great family vacation

This property is amazing and full of amenities. The beach is perfect for young kids to play and is within walking distance of the house. The house comes with beach toys and accessories making a day at the beach an easy way to spend your time. the only thing I wish I would’ve known in advance is that you have to take a ferry from Galveston to the island and the wait time for that ferry can be unpredictable. Overall, I would highly recommend this property.

Great beach house overall!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Dragon. The location is perfect, close to the beach and near the activities on Bolivar. The home has plenty of room for guests. We had one minor issue and Stephanie corrected it right away and was very accommodating.

Amazing 18th birthday

We celebrated my son's 18th birthday and we had a blast! We loved the proximity to the beach and the kids loved having their own space in the loft to play games and watch movies. Comfy beds and other furniture. Plenty of space to cook, entertain and feed everyone easily. We never felt crowded. We will definitely visit again in the future.

Family Getaway

This place really is a home away from home. Truly a stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and located conveniently close to the beach. Owners have anticipated every need. We had an infant family member and the high chair was so convenient to have! The soaps provided are great quality and even in the outdoor shower downstairs making it easy to wash off. Kids toys upstairs and beach toys downstairs. The swings downstairs made an enjoyable hangout spot for younger members of the family and the tv room upstairs was great for the kiddos. Only thing on the wish list would be a bigger couch in the living room. We wanted for nothing and didn’t have a single item we needed to buy, because the owners already had it there! Planning on returning soon!

4th of July Trip

We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Dragon. The location is close to the beach and easy for walking. The house was a little smaller than we anticipated, but it worked. The toiletries provided were greatly appreciated. The home was clean and owners were very responsive. The only issue we ran into is one of the couches in the loft was broken and not able to be used for sleeping. The owners provided an air mattress to use in place of the broken sleeper. Over all the house was nice and we had a good stay.

Wonderful beach house

Our group of 8 (5 adults, 3 kids, 1 dog) had a wonderful time. The beach house was as described on the site. The house was clean and well stocked with things like soap, shampoo, clothes detergent, dish soap, etc. The outside showers were a very nice feature after our trips to the beach. Good communication from the host (Stephanie) before and during the stay. We wanted to add a day to the end of our reservation and Stephanie made that process easy. Check in and check out were very easy - check in info was received prior to the start of our stay. We appreciated having use of the beach stuff (chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, etc.). We rented a golf cart, which was helpful. Thank you for making this an enjoyable beach vacation!

Great cabin and location!

Overall, our stay at the Sea Dragon was great! There were eight of us that stayed and we all had plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable and cozy. The kitchen came with anything you could think of for kitchen needs. It was well stocked with toiletries, detergent, trash bags, etc. Stephanie's communication and accommodations were top notch. Those qualities really showed when our power went out the majority of the day on Saturday from a storm that came through. I reached out to see when power would be back on and she kept me updated. She even refunded us some money for our troubles which she didn't have to do whatsoever. The only things that would have made the trip better would have been to have a larger porch to sit outside and a bigger couch to accommodate more people. Thank you so much for the great stay!

10/10 HIGHLY Recommend

This place is perfect for a stay near the beach. The layout was ideal for hosting our family of 11 comfortably and the kitchen was equipped with the essentials to help us prepare for our Thanksgiving dinner. The space was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few night's stay. It looked exactly like it does in the pictures in person and it was located a very short distance from the beach. Stephanie was a great host who went way beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We had an issue with the heat not coming on after checking in and her pleasant husband Facetime to walk me through how to troubleshoot it. When we couldn't figure it out, they sent someone to fix it within the hour! I appreciate them handling the situation so quickly. They offered us a complimentary night for the slight mishap. She was also flexible with check-in and check-out times, which was extremely helpful! Thanks for such a wonderful time, Stephanie and the Sea Dragon on Crystal Beach, TX. We look forward to returning next year! 10/10 highly recommend.
