It was very close to the beach and we loved the wrap around porch. The little box starter packs in the bathrooms and kitchen were a great touch too. We will definitely stay there again!

It was a beautiful home, perfect for a family group (three bathrooms was great!). Neighborhood was safe and easy to bike with the kids. PLENTY to do close to the house for the rainy hours. Easy check in.

We loved our vacation! The home was clean and in the perfect location. It was close enough to walk to and from the beach with all our stuff and 3 kids, 2-3 times a day. It was also really close to Whole Foods and the mall. We all loved it!

Inside and out, this is an amazing home to vacation in. Exterior was amazing with plenty of great condition seating and quality decking. Inside was as described and had nice add ons with typically forgotten items. Very clean and up to date inside. Very happy with our stay. Watch for some extra service fees that were not well outlined or explained.

It’s wonderful to hear you loved the house, porches, and location. We’re so happy your group had a great vacation and slept well.
Perfect location to enjoy the Crystal Beach area. Five minute walk to beach and restaurants. Quick drive to shopping/groceries. The living room and outdoor porch provide tons of living space to comfortably accommodate 8 people. Beds were comfortable, and master suite had really nice features (dual showers, tub, king bed). We’ll definitely return.

Beautiful home, well equipped, good location
Just stayed at this beautiful home for the past week. The home has everything you could need. Porches are lovely. We used the community pool often as we have young kids and it was never crowded. We were often the only ones there. Close walk to the beautiful white sand beach as well. Thanks for a great vacation!
