This rental was exactly what we expected. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. The location was great for families as well. Super close to the beach and a quiet part of the beach as well. All the games downstairs was an added plus for the kids.

Family, Fun, Fourth of July!!!!
The decision to stay at the beach for the Fourth of July was spur of the moment and this cabin stood out! We had plenty of room to sleep and hang out! The hot tub was a huge hit with the family, and the distance from the beach was perfect! It was clean, communciation before during and after the stay was great! Overall it allowed our family to create wonderful memories this 4th! Thank you! Would definitely rent again!

Clean Place
Overall the cabin was very clean and the master bathroom is huge and awesome rain shower head with great water pressure. The cabin itself was fine. The location is on a busy street with public beach access so there were constantly big trucks speeding down that road. The grass in the fenced in yard had not been cut in weeks and was too high and full of stickers so every time my dogs went outside they were covered in them. The portable hot tub was nice but takes an entire day to heat up and if you are only staying 2 nights you basically can only use it for 1. Aside from those things the cabin is well decorated , clean and nice and close to the beach. If you want to be in the action then this is the place but if you are looking for a relaxing weekend this is not the area. I prefer something with private access to the beach which would cut down on the traffic on that street. The location is close to restaurants , stores , etc. The cabin is very nice and clean and is a nice place but we happened to be there on prom weekend so there were parties all night long going on everywhere in that neighborhood and constant trucks speeding up and down the road at all hours. The host is nice and somewhat responsive. I like the cabin just not the location and was disappointed that I brought my pet and the weeds were a foot tall compared to the cabins on either side of me

Our New Favorite Crystal Beach House
5 STARS!!!! Inwould give 10 if I could. My family and I recently stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday. Everyone had an awesome time!! First off, the place was very clean and the location was perfect. I am talking a 2 minute walk to the beach. You have a great view of the water and you can hear the waves at night, that's how close we are talking. The description was completely accurate. The kids loved the game room. My wife and I enjoyed the hot tub. Our dog loved having a fenced in grass yard to run around in. The check in and out process was very simple and easy. They literally have everything you need. We had no issues and the communication from David was quick during the check in and out process. We have been down to Crystal Beach about 6x now since we moved to TX 3 years ago. And this will now be our spot. We had plenty of room for the four of us and the pup. You could have plenty of room even with another family of four. It was a great trip. I highly recommend!

Waiting on response from owner.
The location and beach house was nice but it came with some uninvited guest. We had several encounters with cockroachs even after we sprayed the whole house with bug spray. On day four we decided to cut the trip short, messaged the host(no response), packed our bags, cleaned up and left. We still haven't heard from the host to at least refund our security deposit and texted and called the same number I used before our stay. We're currently waiting on a response from Dave and our security deposit.

We loved the sound of the waves and being so close to the beach. The house was beautiful we really loved the hot tub down stairs. Our host was very nice and helpful. We plan to go back in the future. We had an amazing time the local people are very nice and helpful. We would highly recommend the runaway beach home for wonderful relaxing vacation. We had an excellent stay and already looking forward to our return.

Great beach stay!
Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay at The Runaway. Home was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Split bedroom/bath floor plan was helpful for some who prefer to sleep in. Large balcony with beautiful beach views. Easy walk or golf cart ride to the beach. Host was attentive and easy to reach. We'd love to rent again soon!
