Bolivar Peninsula, TX, United States

Captain's Quarters

The grill's still warm, the fire pit's crackling, and somewhere out in that 1.5-acre yard, the kids have disappeared into a cloud of laughter. This is what a real getaway feels like — not a hotel checkout vibe, but the kind of place where you lose track of time and someone eventually says "one more night." Captain's Quarters gives your group the space to fully exhale.

Good to know

─ THE SPACE ─────────────────────────────────────── Captain's Quarters sits on 1.5 private, fully fenced acres in Crystal Beach — rare space in a coastal area where most properties are packed tight. It's a single-family home built for groups that want privacy, character, and room to spread out without bumping into each other. The living areas flow easily between indoor comfort and outdoor living. The main living room has a leather sectional, coastal art, and natural light. A separate entertainment room has a dedicated smart TV setup with a custom built-in entertainment center. When dinner's done, the dining table seats the whole group. When the dishes are cleared, the fire pit is calling. Outside is where this place really opens up. There's a covered patio under the house — shaded, breezy, the perfect place to land after a beach run. The fenced backyard has seasonal fruit trees guests can actually pick from, a fire pit for the evenings, and a BBQ grill for the afternoons. If your group brought a golf cart, it's a straight, easy shot to the beach from the driveway. ─ SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS ─────────────────────── 🟢 Bedroom 1: King bed (master, with sitting area and blackout shades) 🟢 Bedroom 2: Queen bed 🟢 Bedroom 3: Twin-over-Double bunk (kids love it) ─ ENTERTAINMENT ───────────────────────────────── 🎤 Karaoke speaker 🎮 PlayStation 4 🕹 Arcade games ⛳ Mini golf (on-property — yes, really) 📚 Books and board games 🏋️ Free weights 📺 Smart TVs in multiple rooms + outdoor TV ─ KITCHEN & LIVING ───────────────────────────── 🍳 Fully equipped kitchen (stainless appliances, plenty of counter space) 🧺 Washer + Dryer (in-unit) 📶 Fast Wi-Fi (streaming ready) ☕ Coffee setup 🪑 Dining table seats the whole group ─ OUTDOOR SPACES ──────────────────────────────── 🔥 Fire pit (with seating) 🍔 BBQ grill 🌿 1.5 fully fenced acres with seasonal fruit trees 🏠 Covered patio (shaded seating under the house) 🚿 Outdoor shower 🚐 RV hookup available on request ─ WHO THIS HOME IS GREAT FOR ─────────────────── ✔ Families with kids — dedicated children's playroom, Pack 'n Play, baby gates, bunk room ✔ Pet owners — fully fenced yard, no worries ✔ Group gatherings — sleeps 10 comfortably, open layout ✔ EV drivers — Level 2 EV charger on-property ✔ Weekend adventurers — beach is a 3–5 min drive, Galveston ferry is close ─ LOCATION ─────────────────────────────────────────── 📍 Crystal Beach, Bolivar Peninsula, TX 🏖 Crystal Beach shoreline: ~3–5 min drive ⛴ Galveston via ferry: easy day trip 🍽 Local dining and shops: ~4–7 min drive 🌊 Fort Travis Seashore Park: ~5–7 min drive We'd love to host you — book today and come find out why guests keep saying they never wanted to leave. 🌊

We booked this Airbnb last minute after having issues at another property, and I’m so glad we found this home. It was spacious, clean, welcoming, and gave our family the peaceful stay we needed. The kids especially loved the back porch and all the games available throughout the house there was always something to do, and no one was ever bored. Although we had a minor shower issue, Chris was very attentive and responsive, and quickly sent someone to help. He made a stressful last-minute situation much easier for us. The home felt private, relaxing, and perfect for families. I would definitely recommend staying here and would gladly book with Chris again.

We had a fantastic stay. The balcony was the highlight of our mornings, and the fire pit made for the perfect cozy evening under the stars. The space was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the host made the entire process seamless. A perfect retreat if you're looking to relax and enjoy the outdoors

Just as described, private and very nice. First airbnb that actually felt like we lived there, even met some friendly neighbors. We really liked the outdoor areas and easy access to the beach and Galveston. Overall a great stay, thanks Chris.

This was honestly a very good find. It had so many things inside from a kareoke speaker to a playstation 4 and a grill. It was a very memorable weekend thanks to this place

We loved our stay. Clean and equipped with all necessities. The house was very nice with lots of character and added touches. We rented a golf cart and it was a straight shot to the beach from the driveway. Very quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and would definitely stay here again.

Find us

Crystal Beach is a relaxed, drive-on beach community, so getting around is easy and fun. Most guests choose to explore the area by car or golf cart, both of which are common on the beach and neighborhood roads. There’s direct beach access nearby, and driving directly on the sand is permitted with a Bolivar Beach Parking Sticker (available at local shops and gas stations for a small fee). For short distances, you can also walk or bike, especially around the quiet residential streets and down to the shoreline. Local restaurants, convenience stores, and The Big Store are just a short drive away. There’s no public transportation, so having your own vehicle or renting a golf cart is highly recommended to fully enjoy all Crystal Beach has to offer.
