A perfect family and friends get away
We had such a great time staying at this house! Super close to the beach! We had kids ranging from 1 1/2 to 9 and it made naps and food times a breeze with the location. Having body wash and hair soap in dispensers on the wall in the shower wash genius. We’ve never had a rental with that! Overall- we’d definitely stay here again. Our friends want to make this a yearly tradition with our kids!

Great place to stay!
The property was very easy to find and had a short walk to the beach. Instructions for check in were clear and easy. The house was clean and came with a fully stocked kitchen. I will say that if you have a big group or a long stay to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags, as the supply was very limited. The only thing that docked on the cleanliness was because the outside fridge had stuff left in it from the previous renter that was missed by the cleaning staff. It caused an awful odor but once communicated to the host, was cleaned out for us.

Fun Weekend at Crystal Beach
We had a great stay at this house for the weekend. The house was well-appointed with everything we needed for the weekend. We had plenty of towels, dishes, and everything we needed in the kitchen. Each shower had a dipenser with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which was a great amenity. The walk to the beach was so close, and we enjoyed the firepit one night. I would highly recommend staying here, and I would definitely stay here again. The beds were all clean and very comfortable. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool table as well. It was a great stay and a great location!!

Beautiful Beach home just a few steps away from beach!
Every one of us enjoyed everything about this beautiful home! House had everything we needed from grilling burgers to enjoying our morning coffee and serene views of the beach! The beach was only a few steps away & on ground level the house was nicely decorated with a fire pit area, kids play area, & lots of space to enjoy the day /night! We will definitely be back in the summer! Everyone behind the scenes was extremely helpful, & very kind!! Thanks again for allowing us to make wonderful memories of my son’s 18th birthday!!
