Long Weekend Getaway
This property was exactly as it was shown in the listing and was perfect for our extended weekend away. Easy access to the beach, to stores, to the highway, etc. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend and a way to close out our summer. So good that we are planning to return multiple times this coming year. Thanks for having us!

Great Place to Stay!
The porch and outside shower were really nice. The house supplied all of our needs and more. It was nice to have a second living/bedroom with a tv. We especially liked the close access to the beach without having to cross a highway. I would rent it again.

Family weekend getaway
Just what our family needed for a quick weekend away. The teen enjoyed having her own space in the second living area with tv and sofa. Elevator was a nice perk to bring our belongings up to the house.

Comfortable house
Turtle Shell is a lovely house for a weekend, clean and well located. The beach can get a bit crowded with trucks and golf cars.

Great property, perfect location
We spent what turned out to be a rather cold spring break here. The house was great and close enough to the beach for ease, but far enough to feel more secluded. It was clean with adequate amenities to cook basic meals. Enough room to not argue over what to watch on TV and some fun games to play. We definitely recommend renting the golf cart, it was great to drive on the beach. Also highly recommend Jose's Cantina for dinner!

Amazing Stay
We had a blast at the Turtle Shell! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We rented a golf cart (I recommend everyone do that, it was a BLAST) it was close to the beach, close to stores, and we even found a local restaurant to eat at our last night. Thank you so much again, we can't wait to get back!

Nice, clean, quiet retreat
The house was clean and nice - very simple. Just a short walk to the beach. We flew to TX for a concert and then drove to crystal beach for a few days, if you’re traveling from out of town there isn’t beach gear to use like chairs, umbrella, etc. not the owner’s fault by any means. I should’ve asked those questions prior to booking. If we were more local and could drive and bring our own beach gear we’d stay again - but likely to stay somewhere that includes umbrellas, chairs, golf carts etc. especially if we bring our family. We bought a cheap umbrella at the local store but would’ve preferred not to. Other than that the house was in a nice quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Very happy with our stay! We wished we could have stayed longer!
Great location in comparison to the beach, stores, and restaurants! Our only complaints are we could not locate the remote to the TV in the bedroom and the fan would not stay on without the light. Everything else was fantastic!

The Perfect Beach House
We really loved everything about The Turtle Shell. The house is very close to the beach and in a great neighborhood. The booking process was easy and when we arrived to the house, everything was easy to access and the house was very clean. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. Crystal beach is the perfect Texas beach getaway. We love the fact you can drive your vehicle or golf cart directly on the beach. It’s not to crowded either. Our young child and our adult child both found plenty of fun activities for all! We will be back to The Turtle Shell soon.
