EVEN WHEN PROVIDED, INTERNET ACCESS/SATELLITE TV/CELL SERVICE CAN BE UNRELIABLE ON THE BOLIVAR PENINSULA, AS WE ARE A RURAL COMMUNITY AND WEATHER SENSITIVE AREA.

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this information; however, it is not guaranteed. It is subject to errors, omissions, change of price, change of house contents and/or features or withdrawal without notice. Please note, Hurricane Ike forever changed the footprint of Bolivar Peninsula, therefore some homes listed as beachfront may have a lot and/or street in front of it. This is the result of the uncertainty following the storm where some property owners elected to participate in the government buy out of lots that fell in what later would be considered within the vegetation line established by the State of Texas and subsequently included as part of the public beach. Not all property owners participated. Those homes where the property in front of it are part of the buyout are considered beachfront even though to the east or west of it there may be a home closer to the beach. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 2,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123800000/123796700/123796689/5dc59739.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Steps to Shore!

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. ##### joann g.

Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### jada j. 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### 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. ##### jada j.

Reviewer Comments: We loved the house. It was very spacious and accommodating for our group. Loved that beach access was very close to the house. I wished we would have prepared for ants. Apparently, everyone was having issues with them as friends and family who own homes close by had the same problem. The only other issue but minimal was ceiling fan in master bedroom didn't work. Luckily a small fan in the closet worked well for a quick fix. ##### Kathi G.

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! ##### Nick P.

Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at the property before and like the location and size of the house, number of bathrooms, and the decks. The only issue was there was no garbage pick up during our week stay, even though garbage trucks were going up and down the streets on Thursday. ##### David H.

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. ##### WAYNE T.

I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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. ##### Michelle W.

Reviewer Comments: Love the house and location. House seemed a little under stocked with the items needed to prepare meals. Pots, pans, and utensils were a little scarce? ##### David H. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hilton Garden Inn San Antonio Downtown Riverwalk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Antonio-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-San-Antonio-Downtown.h19991849.Hotel-Information) > - [Stunning Ocean Oasis: Pools, Views, Great Location](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galveston-Hotels-Stunning-Ocean-Oasis-Pools.h94720566.Hotel-Information) > - [InterContinental Houston by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-InterContinental-Houston-Medical-Center.h23830866.Hotel-Information) > - [Quality Inn & Suites San Antonio Airport - Stone Oak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Antonio-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-San-Antonio-Airport-North.h424272.Hotel-Information) > - [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > - [HALL Arts Hotel, Dallas, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Hall-Arts-Hotel.h36075099.Hotel-Information) > - [Placemakr Downtown Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Placemakr-Downtown-Austin.h104529782.Hotel-Information) > - [Drey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-The-Drey-Hotel.h67432168.Hotel-Information) > - [Candlewood Suites El Paso North by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Paso-Hotels-Candlewood-Suites-El-Paso-North.h4036112.Hotel-Information) > - [The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galveston-Hotels-The-San-Luis-Resort.h4532.Hotel-Information) > - [La Colombe d'Or Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-La-Colombe-DOr-Hotel.h66954154.Hotel-Information) > - [Regal Stays Corporate Condos - Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Regal-Stays-Corporate-Condos-Downtown.h37209678.Hotel-Information) > - [Downright Austin, a Renaissance Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Downright-Austin.h7518.Hotel-Information) > - [Renaissance Saint Elm Dallas Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Downtown-Dallas.h20154562.Hotel-Information) > - [The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-The-Post-Oak-Hotel-At-Uptown-Houston.h22340244.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Market Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Dallas-Market-Center.h41339.Hotel-Information) > - [Club Quarters Hotel Downtown, Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Club-Quarters-Hotel-In-Houston.h1156923.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > - [Crowne Plaza Houston Med Ctr-Galleria Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Houston-River-Oaks.h28060.Hotel-Information) > - [Locale Victory Park Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Locale-Victory-Park-Dallas.h37198950.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Townhouse Houston Airport North](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-IAH-45-AIRPORT-INN-SUITES.h106679149.Hotel-Information) > - [The Laura Hotel, Houston Downtown, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-The-Laura-Hotel.h20052335.Hotel-Information) > - [Sonesta ES Suites Fort Worth Fossil Creek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Worth-Hotels-Sonesta-ES-Suites-Fort-Worth.h41173.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Houston Medical Center Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Wyndham-Houston-Medical-Center-Hotel-And-Suites.h6636.Hotel-Information) > - [The Reside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-The-Reside.h22169664.Hotel-Information) > - [Sonesta ES Suites San Antonio Downtown Alamo Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Antonio-Hotels-Sonesta-ES-Suites-San-Antonio-Downtown.h41122.Hotel-Information) > - [Emerald Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corpus-Christi-Hotels-Emerald-Beach-Hotel.h24199.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Austin-Downtown-Convention-Center.h3298.Hotel-Information) ---
