Escape to Family Fun and Relaxation at Texas Sun by the Beach

A Luxury Beach House with Expansive Ocean View Decks

Just a 3-Minute Walk to Private Beach Access

4 bedroom · 3 bath · Up to 12 Guests

"We enjoyed our stay very much—we are both trying to figure out how to bottle the relaxation to bring it back home with us!" —Amanda

This beautiful third-row beach house offers views of the gulf from both decks. It's just a 3-minute walk to the beach via private neighborhood access—take the family and play all day!

"Texas Sun" is our beautifully decorated 3rd-row beach house, with lovely views of the gulf. It's a quick walk to the beach via our private neighborhood access. The huge deck on the main floor is a great place to have your morning coffee or watch the sun set. The open concept kitchen/dining/living will give your family the perfect space to gather!


The Space

This is where your friends and family will make memories. The ocean view, spacious porches with ample seating to kick back and relax & the downstairs game area will be calling your name from the minute you arrive! We know you'll be dreaming about this space for years to come after you've spent some of your best moments here.


"This property is perfect! It was recently remodeled and excellently cleaned making us feel right at home. The beds are comfortable and the house had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing post prom stay. Access to the beach is a very short walk and the owners allow the use of beach chairs and toys. Plus, they have a closet full of games and super cool porch swings can be hung up for lounging. We totally recommend staying here and hope to come back soon!!" —Misty

Irresistible Amenities

Newly renovated and re-launched after construction, this fabulous house has beautiful beach views and lots of space to enjoy them. With 1684 square feet of well-planned space inside and 720 square feet of covered and uncovered deck space, everyone will find a spot where they can relax. We have substantial outdoor furniture, two picnic tables, and hammock chairs to offer a place for everyone. The serene, designer decorated interior is light and bright, with luxurious touches such as Helix mattresses, designer Delta faucets, and hotel-quality sheets and pillows. Kids will have a blast playing games in the fun bunk room, like pop-a-shot—when they’re not at the beach!

The two balconies have a variety of furnishings to allow you to relax and enjoy! The main deck is where everyone gathers... this is where you'll have your morning coffee, watch the sun set, and spend many nights with your beverage of choice in hand!

On the downstairs patio, the kids and grownups will be battling one another in corn hole or playing giant Jenga! Our guests have access to all the beach toys, chairs, beach cart, and yard games in the garage.

Guests enjoy private beach access through a neighborhood path; the beach is just a short 3-minute walk away.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome! Please send us an inquiry if you plan to bring dogs.

"I'll definitely be back!!! I LOVED the way everything was set up and looked. The beds were extremely comfy; even the kids' beds were great... We had everything we needed... Drive access [to the beach] is a few streets down from this particular location so it's great if you don't want a ton of traffic. Thank you Dan and Alisse for an overall excellent experience!!!" —Victor

HOME LAYOUT

Main Floor: open living/dining/kitchen, fun bunk room, laundry room, and full bathroom (house is on stilts so guests must climb a flight of stairs to enter)

Upstairs: three fabulous bedrooms, all with access to the upstairs balcony. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bath, and there is another full bathroom on the second floor for the other two bedrooms.

Ask about our concierge service to fill the fridge, build a beach bonfire, celebrate a birthday, and many more ideas that will make your stay special!

ABOUT

As a kid, I would come to Crystal Beach and build memories with family. I have always dreamed of owning my own little piece of paradise on the peninsula!

Texas Sun is that dream come to life. My family has put a lot of love and care into the home to make it a wonderful place for a family getaway. We've had a blast updating this space and bringing in beautiful, high-end design elements that we think you'll love! Our two kiddos helped us make sure the space was comfy for kids, too. We hope you come visit and enjoy the beach house as much as we do!

The home is just a short stroll to the beach and the neighborhood is perfect for morning or evening walks or bike rides. We love relaxing on the porch while listening to the waves crash. We're excited to make plenty more family memories and are happy to be able to offer Texas Sun for you to make memories in as well. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay perfect.

Enjoy the ocean views, laid back lifestyle, and spectacular sunsets at Texas Sun!

REVIEWS

My family and I enjoyed our stay! The house is very comfortable and well appointed. There were 12 of us, which included our six grandkids. They loved sleeping in the bunk room. The beach was minutes away with great views from every room! Thank you, Dan & Alisse for sharing your lovely home!

-Manuela

Highly recommend this lovely beach home! Cozy, inviting space with all the amenities you will need for a great vacation weekend. The host is very responsive and accommodating to anything you might need during your stay. We loved being able to walk such a short distance to the beach. It’s located in a nice private subdivision as well. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms nicely situated for quiet sleeping arrangements. This house is a great find!
