Vacation Rental Owner/Manager

Vacation Rental Description

This is a non smoking cabin.  

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. Stingeree, in the Maryland Subdivision.  
We are just down the street from the world famous Stingeree 
Restaurant.  We are on the beachfront, and the Stingeree 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.  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 in the living room, a 
full size bed in Bedroom #1 and a futon style bunkbed in the #2 
bedroom, with a full size mattress on the bottom, and twin size on 
the top.  If you try it once, you will be back!  We offer a 10% 
discount for previous guests!  More than half of our guests are 
returning guests!   

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 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)

take appropriate precautions.  Damages will be deducted from

Activities and Attractions

Rollover Fish Pass 

Located in Gilchrist, 20 
miles east on Hwy 87 from the Ferry landing and 7 miles west from 
the intersection of Hwy 87 and 124 at High Island at the beach, this 
fish cut was dug in the fifties to connect the Gulf of Mexico with 
Galveston Bay. It was financed by a conservation organization in 
Beaumont to give the migrating fish a means of getting from the Gulf 
to the Bay to spawn. In the spring and fall it is a great place to 
catch your limit on an incoming tide. Live bait is available, just 
bring your lawn chairs and ENJOY !!

Surf Fishing

Fishing in the surf is a relaxing, economical and sometimes 
rewarding experience. Take your rod and reel, some bait (live or 
dead) or a mirror lure, wade out to the waist deep water on the 
second sand bar and toss your line out and see what happens. Could 
be great. Surf fishing is especially good in the summer when the 
green water comes all the way to the beach. The speckeled trout are 
hungry and ready to take a lure or live shrimp.

North Jetty

Renowned fishing spot for miles around. You can walk out on the 
rocks, (the concrete only runs for about a block), for almost a 
mile. Dedicated fisherpeople spend hours on the slippery rocks in 
pursuit of the big one! Friendly atmosphere, you can take the kids, 
cause the crabbing is also very good, and their pursuit brings lots 
of memories of the little ones trying to keep the crabs on the line! 
Road to the North Jetty is about two miles east of the Ferry landing.

Drive East on Hwy 87 from the ferry landing to the junction of Loop 
108 and Hwy 87. Turn right towards the Gulf of Mexico. You will come 
to a wide, flat expanse of beach that has very little surf and 
shallow water making it ideal for small children. One can find 
interesting shells - perhaps an olive or a wentletrap - certain 
times of the year. This area is called "The Flats" and is an 
excellent place to observe many differnt species of water fowl. It 
is a natural nesting ground and feeding area.  In the '60s, families 
would move to the "flats", to spend the summer living 
out on the beach and working their 2000 foot nets to bring in the 
catch of the day, hundreds of speckled trout! Also in the nets were 
dozens of live crabs, sting-rays, mullet, poagies, sharks. That 
event was one of the highlights of the day for the summer visitors. 
We could take all the crabs we were willing to rescue out of the 
nets, without getting pinched!!. (Now those nets are unlawful!) 

Go Fishing and Crabbing at the North Jetty 

The North Jetty is about 1-1/2 miles East of the Ferry Landing. 
This granite rock jetty extends several miles into the Gulf of 
Mexico The first 200 yards is a paved walkway. To get beyond that 
point, you must climb over the granite rocks. There is a small boat 
cut about one mile from shore. You can usually catch a good mess of 
crabs and most of the year the fishing is good. Bait and 
refreshments are available. Lots of FUN!! Children can play on the 
nearby beaches.

Take a Ferryboat Ride
 
Drive to the tip of Bolivar at the ferry landing and leave your car 
in the parking lot. Board the ferry for a ride across Galveston Bay. 
Bring a loaf of bread or a package of crackers, and maybe some 
binoculars. When you are underway go the rear of the boat and feed 
the hungry seagulls. The children will delight in watching the gulls 
dive for food. Be sure to wear a hat because you never know what 
might fall out of the sky. You have a good chance of spotting some 
dolphins playing alongside the boat. And people watching is a great 
sport for all ages! When you get to the Galveston side stay on board 
and return to Bolivar. 

Save One Day For Galveston

Spend a day in Galveston browsing on the Strand. There are blocks 
and blocks of intriguing shops and gourmet restaurants. See the 
stately Bishop's Palace on Broadway. The Railroad Museum is a 
whimsical delight. On the ship channel near the elegant Harbor House 
Hotel is the old sailing ship "Elissa". 
Visit the Moody Gardens - 
Discover a ten story Rainforest Pyramid with over 2,000 species of 
exotic plants, animals and butterflies from Asia, Africa and the 
Americas. At the IMAX, (on the Moody grounds), see images in 3-D 
that leap off the screen to the awesome sensation of IMAX digital 
sound. In the same rotunda enjoy gourmet meals with spectacular 
nightly Dancing Waters fountain displays at the Garden 
Restaurant.The museum shop has nature inspired gifts from around the 
world.There are acres of gardens and jogging trails to explore. 
Daily cruises aboard the luxurious Colonel Paddlewheel Boat leave 
from the dock there.

The children will especially enjoy Palm Beach at Moody Gardens, with 
a massive freshwater swimming pool with sandy beach surrounding it. 
Most of it is shallow water. There are lawn chairs, umbrellas and a 
concession stand. Great!
