Our Rock Lobster beach house is the perfect beach front family or fishing getaway on the Texas gulf coast. Enjoy the slower rhythms of Bolivar Peninsula while still being close to Crystal Beach. You are able to access all that Galveston has to offer with a quick trip on the ferry. Sunrise and sunset are tough to beat from the front porch with a coffee or a cocktail staring out at the unobstructed views of the ocean. Go explore the island too - rent some golf carts for beach rides, play putt putt golf, or hit up a water park. The fishing is great here too, whether you want to fish off the beach or charter a guide in the bay. We are also home to fantastic live music on the island - from a laid-back acoustic show to a full blown band rocking the house! Why go anywhere else? Come see us, relax, and stay a while! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22130000/22120300/22120244/3f09d540.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Story Upscale Beachfront House With unobstructed Beach Views from every room.
