Perfect location and wonderful house

This was a perfect house for our mulitgeneration family and dog. Location is right on the beach with a nice grass yard in front and on side. Plenty of room for us and the foosball table was a hit with the grandsons. The cargo lift was definitely a plus!

Beautiful view

Location is wonderful. House needs upgrades. Beds are hard so if you like that you’re in good shape. The front door needs work, it’s falling. Chain needs to be replaced on porch swing, gate needs work that goes from the porch to the lift. Main burner on stove doesn’t work. No electrical outlets down stairs so bring an extension cord if you need to charge anything. A/c works great, plenty of room and clean. All in all, we would stay here again but hoping they fix the issues.

Family Fun

We had a wonderful time on the beach with 3 generations. Ranging between 6-66. The lift was amazing getting all our food and belongings upstairs and saving our knees. We needed a larger skillet to cook bacon for 9 people and the host provide one the next day. The very short walk to the beach and breeze made for perfect enjoyment. Even the dog was sad to leave. The a/c worked great. The large dining table was roomy enough for all of us and great for games.

Needs some maintenance

The check in process is overly complicated The home had a cat urine odor The house needs tlc But the worst part is the extra fees that you aren’t told upfront and if you cancel you don’t get your money back.

While there were some upgrades/repairs needed (such as a hard/squeaky mattress in one of the secondary bedrooms and a leaky window in the dining area) the overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable. The location is wonderful and the house is comfortable and large.

We loved Janie’s!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This gorgeous beach house is even better than it is described! The house is on a corner giving it direct beach access. Although technically it is row 2, it just gives you a large yard in front of you before the dunes and the beach. The 2 houses on either side are closer to the beach, but they don’t obstruct your view of the Gulf. The house itself is beautiful and spacious. It exceeded our expectations. We used the decks everyday and grilled out in the tiki bar one night and had a fire. We made some awesome memories. We were there the 3rd week of March and it was so quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the whole place was spotless and well-maintained. We did rent the winter linens, which was worth it for us. We wouldn’t have had room in our van for traveling with sheets and towels from WI. We barely made it to the office by 4:30 on a Sunday to avoid the $50 penalty and they were very friendly. We didn’t have contact the rest of the week, because our stay went so smoothly. We enjoyed everything we did in Crystal Beach: fishing with Sharklife Outfitters and Galveston Party boats, beachcombing, kite flying, renting an 8 seater golf cart from TX Custom Carts, walking the jetty, visiting Fort Travis, crabbing, skim boarding, and boogey boarding. We also enjoyed these restaurants: Tia Juanita’s, Huli Huli Hut (in Galveston), Busta a Lime, Hardhead’s, Tiki Bar and Panini Press. The Big Store was friendly and convenient. We loved our stay in Crystal Beach and would highly recommend Janie’s!

Fantastic Mother’s Day Beach Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 8 had a great 2 night stay for Mother’s Day Weekend at Janie’s at Crystal Beach/Port Bolivar Texas. EVERYTHING about the location of Jamie’s was just perfect. Cabin was clean and well kept inside and out. You can’t get a better view of the beach, than at Janie’s on the top floor deck. We rented JANIE’S last year , and we would rent Janie’s again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let me start by saying the location is great but it ends there. A blanket upstairs was damp & sour smelling, we received 1 dish towel for 4 days, 1 roll of toilet paper in 3 bathrooms & half roll in the 4th. No paper towels hardly any soap in the soap dispensers. Parental controls on the TV’s. We considered leaving early.

Upstairs bath didn't operate properly; dishwasher didn't operate properly; doors were difficult to open and shut. Outdoor furnishings were old and below average. Home location, size is great. We really enjoy our annual trip to Crystal Beach but expected the house to be a bit nicer.

Great Location

The house was very clean. The view is great. It's very close to the beach with nothing between the house and the beach. They misrepresent the bedroom situation. One of the three bedrooms is more of a family room with a couch pull out "queen bed". There are some minor repairs needed . Dishwasher, outside chairs, and outside trashcans need to be replaced.

Close to restaurants, the Big Store, and it’s a quieter portion of the beach. Already looking at dates for the next trip. Cobb always goes above and beyond to make arranging the details easy.
