Beach Bungalows Are Coming to Crystal Beach: Here’s What to Know About This New Resort-Style Community

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a slice of the Texas coast or earning rental income steps from the sand - Crystal Beach’s newest project might just put you in a vacation state of mind.

A $107 million resort-style home community is officially on the way at Camp Margaritaville, bringing 129 coastal homes to one of the Gulf’s most popular getaways.

A New Coastal Neighborhood

Dubbed The Beach Bungalows, this development will add 129 beach-style cottages to Crystal Beach, including 105 fully furnished units for sale, with prices starting in the low $800s.

The bungalows are designed for flexibility:

• Live there full-time as your coastal home.
• Use it as a turnkey short-term rental, managed entirely by the resort.
• Skip the maintenance headaches — all upkeep is handled by the community’s on-site management.

Where It’s Happening

The Beach Bungalows will sit inside Camp Margaritaville, a growing resort-style destination that already attracts RV travelers, vacationers, and families looking for a laid-back island vibe on the Bolivar Peninsula.

Being part of the Margaritaville brand means these homes come with a built-in lifestyle -- think poolside drinks, live music, golf cart rides, and beach access just steps away.

Why Crystal Beach?

Just a ferry ride from Galveston, Crystal Beach has long been a favorite for Houston families craving a more casual, wide-open stretch of sand. Unlike some Texas beaches, you can drive on the beach, set up camp for the day, and spread out for miles.

This new community is poised to make owning at the beach easier for buyers who want the perks of coastal life without the stress of day-to-day property management.

What’s Next?

Construction is moving forward now, with more details on floorplans, timelines, and available lots expected soon.

Whether you’re dreaming about a family beach base or an income-producing vacation rental, this project is one more sign that the Bolivar Peninsula is growing fast and getting more resort-style amenities than ever before.
