Perfect Girl's Trip Getaway!

This house was perfect for our annual girl's trip getaway! The space was perfect and spacious enough for 7 of us to sleep comfortably. The large kitchen/living area was a nice place to gather at night and eat and play games. The best part was that the house is SO close to the beach - we literally walked there and set up each day close by. I intend to book here again, most definitely!

Awesome family get-away.

This place was awesome. Great location. The beach is a few steps away and the stores are just a few minutes away. Although the peninsula lost power multiple times during our stay, the host was very helpful in making sure we were informed. Will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful

We had a wonderful stay! The house was well kept and clean and was so close to the beach! We had an issue with the HDMI cable on the tv (we had just turned it on to have something in the background while cooking dinner, but weren’t worried about needing the tv), so I reached out to the host to let her know and they brought a new cable the next day! Overall I would definitely stay here again! No complaints!

Family Meet-up

This property served very well for our needs. Three couples each had a bedroom with bath, and the two granddaughters each had a bed with their full bath just outside their room. We did not do a lot of cooking but the kitchen was equipped with most everything needed. While there is not a full view of the water due to a new construction, there is enough view to make me happy. We really enjoyed ourselves in this very nice property.

Lovely home

We loved this house!! Very close to the beach access road and beach. I will say, they have put up a house right in the middle of the amazing ocean view the photos boast. Obviously not the owners fault! Just sad ;) But this home had everything you could think of needing! The beds were comfy and the sheets felt cool. Four bathrooms was such a plus. We would definitely stay here again!!

Great spot for a beach getaway

While not right on the beach, this home is only a short walk away (2mins) from access to the beach. It's also conveniently located within a 5 min drive to groceries and restaurants. The home itself is perfect for 2 families (4 adults 4 kids under 12). Two rooms on each floor provides privacy for each family and a big plus are the 4 baths!!!! Very well decorated, seems newly.updated, especially the appliances. Chelsea was a great host - quick to communicate with, very courteous, knowledgeable about the area... and when we asked for an extra hour for a late check-out she actually gave us a couple more! Great overall experience

Fell short of our expectations

This place just did not live up to our expectations, even though the owner tried to make things right. The first thing we noticed when pulling up to the property is that there is no longer a clear view of the ocean like the pictures portray. There is a new home being built right in front of this property. Once inside, the place was dirty (sticky floors and counters, old food on the floor and in the fridge) and the first toilet we tried to use didn’t flush. I contacted the owner right away and she was extremely nice and sent a new cleaning crew back over to reclean. She also contacted a plumber to come fix the toilet the following day. She did what she could from afar. We probably could have looked past all of the above if the house wasn’t infested with ants. There were ants everywhere our entire stay (kitchen counters, bathrooms, stairs). We bought some items to try and kill them, but I think they must be in the walls. I really wanted to like this place, especially since the owner was so nice and tried to accommodate us. There were just too many things to look past.

Great Property

We had a great vacation and the property was perfect. Super close to the beach with easy access. The owner was super fast in responding when we had an issue with the hot water. The only negative was the new construction directly in front of the property which we were unaware of and blocked the view of the ocean but other than that everything was as we expected. Highly recommended this property.

Everything you need is here

This house was perfect for our group of 10. We had 4 adults and 6 teenagers (14-17). It has direct beach access, is very new and nicely equipped. Beds were comfortable and linens provided. This house was our third trip to Crystal Beach and by far the nicest place we’ve stayed at yet. Bonus is the next door neighbors are so friendly! We didn’t want to leave!! (The only thing we needed was a pizza cutter and a flyswatter…flyswatter was purchased and we left it for your convenience 😂) The Big Store down the road has everything you need as far as groceries, grilling, special drinks, fishing tackle, beach chairs, towels…if they don’t have it you don’t need it!
