Feel at home in this 3-bedroom beach house in the heart of Crystal Beach, on the Bolivar Peninsula. The house sits in a quiet pocket near the center of Crystal Beach, where you can hear the Gulf and the wind moving through the decks. Inside, the home is built for people to be together. The living room is open and bright and features an electric fireplace. The kitchen opens to the living room. Outside, there is space to sit, eat, and watch the light change on the partially covered deck. Below, you'll find outdoor seating, a dining area, and a grill. Down in the garage hangout, there is a propane fire pit and chairs. The streets are simple and low, with houses on pilings and the Gulf out in front of it all. In the morning, you can be on the sand in a short walk or a quick golf cart ride, driving along the wide, open beach the peninsula is known for. Around you is an easy-going beach town where families set up canopies on the shore and stay all day. Golf carts roll along the back roads and on most stretches of beach where they're allowed, and there are simple places to eat, pick up bait, or grab ice and groceries just a short drive away. The house sleeps 8 people. Any extra guests must be cleared before booking, and only registered guests may stay. Visitors need approval first. Do not park under the house; use the driveway only and take care not to hit the pilings. Keep noise down at night so neighbors can rest. Do not move the furniture, inside or out, including chairs, picnic tables, and anything set in place. Grill only downstairs on the patio, never on the deck, and please clean the grill after you use it. Rinse sand off with the shower downstairs and leave sandy shoes at the door or on the deck by the entrance. Do not flush feminine products or anything that could harm the septic system. Do not pour grease down any drain. Lock all doors when you leave the house.
