Crabby Cove – Sleeps 5, Great Sunrise Views, Short Walk to the Beach

Crabby Cove is a peaceful Bolivar Peninsula escape with spectacular views of the bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf. Guests love watching barge traffic move steadily along the water, spotting birds and wildlife in the wide open area around the home, and enjoying calm coastal scenery from sunrise to sunset. This pet‑friendly beach house includes a fenced yard that is perfect for kids and pets, fresh linens with all beds made before arrival, and towels provided so guests can pack light.

Inside, the well‑equipped kitchen has everything needed for cooking (no food, condiments, or seasonings provided), and the large utility room makes beach trips easy. The living room offers comfortable seating for relaxing after a day on the sand. Downstairs, the patio is a favorite hangout spot with a charcoal grill and plenty of space to unwind.

Crabby Cove also offers ample off‑street parking with room for trailers, plus easy beach access just a short walk, golf cart ride, or car ride away. If you want a quiet Texas Gulf Coast getaway with beautiful water views, family‑friendly amenities, and open space perfect for bird and wildlife watching, Crabby Cove delivers a calm, welcoming coastal experience from the moment you arrive.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We loved our stay at crabby cove. Only thing was the intermittent water disconnection from work during our stay in the daytime. Wonderful host, great with communication, very clean, lots of supplied items in the house, beautiful views of the ocean side and bay side, perfect little place for the 4 of us on a budget. We could definitely return to this property for another stay. Also having a fenced in yard for my dog was so nice. Super nice place.
