Beach House Beauty

The Breckie Beach house was a perfect spot for our family of 6! Our twin 5 year old boys loved the bunk room, while our older two loved having their own space downstairs. The house is very nice and it’s an easy walk to the beach. We would highly recommend staying there and plan to be back!

Perfect house!

We’ve been coming down to Crystal Beach for years. This house was by far the best one we’ve stayed in. The house was very clean, spacious, and everything we needed! We had 3 families and plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. The kids loved the bunk room! We hope to rebook for next summer!

3rd Annual 4th of July Beach Vacation Success!

The Breckie beach house was exactly as we envisioned it would be based on the online listing information! We enjoyed the location to both the beach and the Big store! We all slept comfortably and had a great time! I would definitely recommend the Breckie Beach House for a large group of family and or friends!

Odom-Adams Annual Beach Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Breckie Beach House. This was our 2nd time to stay and is an annual trip with family and grandkids. This is the ONLY. House we will stay at. My adult kids and 6 grandkids ranging from 1yr to 7yrs absolutely love the bunk room!! It was perfect and I like that the beds are full size and one level not as bunk beds especially for the little ones. The cousins had a fun sleepover in the same room. Having the paddle boat and kayak to use was an added bonus! Not to mention all the beach toys for the kiddoes!. It is truly a luxury house. We are already looking forward to next years trip! Jennifer is an amazing host and always quick to respond to any questions. We feel so blessed to have found this house at Crystal Beach. Jo Ann Odom and family

Great getaway on the beach

This was a last minute trip due to flights being cancelled. The house was perfect for the 8 of us, plenty of room. The kitchen was perfect for cooking, the balconies excellent for sitting and enjoying coffee in the morning. Master suite bath and shower are a definite plus to this house. Will definitely try to stay here again if we come to Crystal Beach.

Beautiful home, great location and amazing hosts!

The house is beautiful and the proximity to the beach is great. The house and hosts were very accommodating, we had everything we needed and received quick responses from the homeowner! The beds were super comfortable and we really enjoyed the large open kitchen, living area and the large balcony area for spending time together and enjoying the view! We will definitely book this location again!

AMAZING!!!

We had an amazing time in this beautiful Breckie Beach House! It was very spacious for our family which consisted of our 2 kids and their families with 6 grandchildren ranging from 6 months to 7yrs old. The 3yr -7yr olds absolutely loved the bunk room! That was the perfect set up with the full beds and so comfortable. The parents all liked the idea of not being bunk beds, so no worries of them following off. They really loved having “movie night” too! It definitely felt Ike a luxury house and the best we’ve stayed in so far at the beach. We try to do an annual family beach trip and will be staying here every time we go to Crystal Beach. The house had so many added features down to the professional stove top, ice machine & washer & dryer. The kitchen was stocked with anything you needed to cook all your meals. The beach towels were a nice touch as well as the linens and plenty of bath towels included. The use of all the beach toys, life jackets, and especially the ability to use the paddle board and kayak. That was a “winner” and put the icing on the cake. We all had such a good time and didn’t want to leave!! Jennifer was wonderful and always a quick response. Will be telling all our friends about this beach house and we will be BACK for sure!! Thank you for sharing your house with us! Jo Ann O.
