Thank you for inquiring about our vacation beach house rentals on the Bolivar Peninsula of Texas. We pride ourselves on providing you with a care-free experience for your Crystal Beach Vacation, by making sure our beach house rentals are fully-equipped, comfortable, and clean for your arrival. We want you to visit our beach house rentals again and again, and welcome your comments and suggestions as to how we might do even better to make your Crystal Beach Vacation experience the very best. Following are the most often asked questions about our beach house rentals:

How do we make a reservation for a beach house rental?__

Please telephone our Management Company, Swede's Real Estate at (409) 684-3345, or toll-free at (800) 624-0071. They will have up-to-the-minute information about available dates for each of our beach house rentals. Make sure you are specific in telling them the "Name" of the beach house rental you are inquiring about.

Can we reserve a beach house rental with a credit card deposit?__

Yes. Swede's Real Estate will be happy to make your confirmed reservation for your beach house rental with either VISA or MasterCard. The amount of the required deposit for your beach house rental varies by beach house and time of the year. A Swede's Real Estate representative will explain in detail the amount and terms of the reservation for your beach house rental. For further information, you may access their web site at www.swedesrealestate.com.


Are their restrictions on who can rent a beach house?
__

In general, our beach house rentals may only be rented to family groups and adults over 25. Occupancy is limited to no more than the number of sleeping accommodations provided by each beach house. Our beach house rentals are not rented for spring break parties, prom groups, graduation parties, etc.
Please consult with Swede's Real Estate for more information on our beach house rental limitations.

Can we bring out pet to our beach house rental?__

We recognize that pets are an important part of families. We do ask, however, that you remember that we take great pride in providing good furniture, clean carpeting, etc., in our beach house rentals. Feel free to bring your pet, but please keep them outside or in downstairs rooms as much as possible so that they, too, may enjoy their Crystal Beach Vacation. Excessive noise, pet hair on furniture, and stinky reminders of their presence on our lawn will annoy our clean-up staff and neighbors, so please clean up after them before you leave; also, remember that there is a leash law in Galveston County.

What does it mean when you say "Our beach house rentals are fully equipped?"__

Our beach house rentals are equipped to accommodate the same number of guests as they sleep. This includes pillows, blankets, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, cookware, BBQ grills, coffee makers, microwaves, toasters, all major appliances, multiple TV's (either DIRECTV or CABLE), local phone service, deck furniture, and basic cleaning supplies.

What should we bring with us to our beach house rental?__

You should bring your own bed linens, hand, bath and dish towels, bath soap, paper products, trash bags, foodstuffs, and of course, your children. Crystal Beach does have a good supermarket and hardware store, if you want to wait to shop until you get here. Also, linen service is available through Swede's Real Estate; just let them know you want to have linens provided, and they will be waiting for you at your beach house rental when you arrive.

Can we rent a beach house for less than a full week in the summer?__

Call Swede's Real Estate to check about the availability of our beach house rentals. Because our weekly rentals can be from Friday to Thursday, or Monday to Sunday, we often can accommodate 3 or 4 day requests. Weekends, during the summer, our beach houses are rented only when they do not interfere with weekly beach house rentals.


Can we rent a beach house for less than a full week in the off-season?__

Yes. During the off-season, we will book beach house rentals for anytime, subject to a two-night minimum.


What are the "check-in" and "check-out" times of our beach house rental?
__

You may check into your beach house after 12:00 Noon on the day of your arrival, and check out time is
4:00 P.M. of the day of your departure. Keys are available through Swede's Real Estate from 9am - 5pm.
