About the Property
Kick off the New Year at Salt Marsh Escape—a spacious 6-bedroom retreat perfect for group gatherings and family reunions. Located on the quieter side of Bolivar Peninsula in Gilchrist, this home is just steps from the sand. Experience sweeping Gulf and Bay views, relax in your own private hot tub, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of a near-beachfront location without the beachfront price tag.
The House
This expansive two-story home features a vaulted great room that opens to wraparound decks, offering unobstructed west-facing views for incredible sunsets. With 13 beds across 6 bedrooms, there is plenty of room for 16+ guests to spread out.
Gourmet Kitchen: Cook for the whole group in a fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and a large granite island.
Entertainment: Stay connected with high-speed Wifi and 7 Smart TVs throughout the home, including a 75" screen in the living room.
Kids' Favorite: A lively bunk/game room features strobe lights for a fun, party-like atmosphere for children and teens.
Outdoor Amenities: The ground-level lounge includes a private hot tub (jacuzzi), an outdoor shower, a park-style charcoal grill, and a 55" Smart TV.
Beachside Games: Enjoy cornhole, life-size Connect 4, and other outdoor games provided for your group.
Bedroom & Bathroom Layout
The home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate large groups across three levels:
Ground Level: Lounge area, private hot tub, outdoor shower, and grilling station.
Main Floor: Open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas; 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.
Top Floor: 2 bedrooms including a game loft and 1 full bathroom.
Bed Details: Includes 2 Kings, 2 Queens, 4 Full/Twin bunks, and 1 Twin.
Location & Proximity
Located in the peaceful Gilchrist area on a private street with minimal traffic, you are perfectly positioned for a quiet getaway while remaining just a 5-minute drive from the main restaurants and attractions of Crystal Beach.
Beach Access: We are in "row three," meaning you are just a very short walk from the shoreline—close enough to hear the waves and enjoy the Gulf breeze.
Fishing: Anglers can walk right across the street to some of the peninsula's best local fishing spots.
Policies & Notes
Check-in/Out: Self-check-in starts after 4:00 PM via lockbox; checkout is by 10:00 AM.
Pets: We are a pet-friendly property—bring the whole family along!
Starter Kit: We provide a starter kit of paper goods, soaps, and coffee; please bring extra for longer stays.
Bathrooms: While the home sleeps 21, it has 3 bathrooms; please plan your group's schedule accordingly.
Located on the waterfront, this vacation home is in Crystal Beach, a neighborhood in Port Bolivar. Fort Travis Seashore Park and Galveston Seawall are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Crystal Beach and Gilchrist Beach. Consider nauti beaver hut for a night out or Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary if you're traveling with kids. Kayaking, motor boating, and sailing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours nearby.
