Bolivar Point Lighthouse

7 Incredible Airbnb Beach Houses to Rent in 2024 - AFAR

"The spacious lighthouse on the Texas Gulf Coast is perfect for families. Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula feels worlds away from the high energy of nearby Galveston, and activities in these parts skew decidedly calmer: bird-watching, fishing, seashell hunting, and stargazing. Occupying 150 yards of private beachfront with no neighbors on either side, the best little lighthouse in Texas would make for a romantic honeymoon hideaway. But with so much space—up to 12 if you max out on sofa beds—you’ll want to share it. To fully embrace the lighthouse experience, choose the compact queen-bed room, which sits up in the tower itself." - Lyndsey Matthews, Nicholas DeRenzo
