Vacation Rental Description

Our prices are less because we don't pay a management company.  We take care of the cabin ourselves, and we pass the savings on to 
you!  The address is 963 S. Stingaree, in the Maryland Bluewater Subdivision.  We are just down the street from the world famous 
Stingaree Restaurant.  We are on the beachfront, and the Stingaree Restaurant is on the Intra-Coastal Waterway.  Close to everything, 
yet far from everything.   This isn't Ambergris Caye, then of course it doesn't cost as much.  Just use your imagination to make the 
water blue, but of course it's sandy.    Built in 1985, it is kept neat and clean.  We have it professionally checked and sanitized 
before each guest arrives by.  It's not the Waldorf=Astoria, so we don't have all the cute little soaps and shampoos, but we have 
convenience and solitude (except for the zoo, which is about a mile to the west, depending on the holiday). Crystal Beach has a very 
laid back atmosphere, which is probably what you're looking for when you get away from the city.   We have two full size sleeper sofas, A 
queen size bed in Bedroom #1 and a futon style bunk bed in the #2 bedroom, with a full size bed on the bottom, and twin size on the 
top.  If you try it once, you will be back!  Additional discounts available for previous guests!  More than half of our guests are 
returning guests!   This wonderful property was fully refurbished inside in 2006 after Hurricane Rita.

Directions:  

From Houston, Galveston:  Take IH 45 S to Harborside Drive, Texas Hwy. 275, exit 1C (just past Galveston Causeway).   Exit Harborside, 
Go under freeway and proceed east on Harborside for 8.1 miles through The Strand area and past UTMB to T stoplight.  Turn left on 
Ferry road to ferry.  Don't carry gas cans in your vehicle on the ferry, and make sure your registration and inspection is up to 
date.  The DPS rides the ferry and writes tickets onboard to their "captive" audience.  After exiting the ferry, drive east on Hwy 87 
for 14.4 miles to Stingeree Road.  Turn Right to the last house on the right (beachfront)  Note:  The speed limit is as low as 45 MPH 
in some places on Hwy 87 and they mean it!  

From Beaumont / Winnie, IH 10:  Take Winnie exit, Highway 124. Drive south (20 miles) through High Island to the coastline.  Turn 
right on Hwy 87.  Proceed 4.7 Miles past Rollover Pass to Stingeree Road.  Turn left (south) to the last house on the right (beachfront)
