Beach Days & Family Stays: Your Crystal Beach Adventure Awaits!
Escape to paradise at our Crystal Beach getaway! Just a short stroll from the sparkling shores of Bolivar Peninsula, our charming 3-bedroom beach house in the Holiday Beach subdivision is the perfect spot for family vacations, girls' weekends, or any coastal escape. Imagine relaxing on the decks, soaking in breathtaking ocean views and feeling the refreshing Gulf breeze. Down below, an inviting outdoor space awaits for entertaining and creating lasting memories.
Our home comfortably sleeps 8, with room for up to 10 (just bring an air mattress for the living room). Inside, you'll find a fully furnished retreat equipped with everything you need, including Wi-Fi, plush bath and beach towels, and crisp linens. Need to catch up on work while you're away? No problem! We've set up a convenient workspace in the master bedroom with a desk, computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse. (Our Wi-Fi is great, but we also recommend bringing a personal hotspot as a backup, just in case!) Enjoy movie nights with our outdoor projector and screen, or relax with our selection of books and games. While we don't have cable, streaming services are readily available for your entertainment.
We love making your stay as enjoyable as possible, so we provide tons of extras! Think swings, a hammock, a high chair, a Pack 'n Play travel crib, and even kids' plates and cups. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials, and we also provide a starter pack of supplies including trash bags, dishwasher pods, soaps, laundry pods, paper towels, and toilet paper. We also provide all the linens you'll need: one sheet set per bed, bath towels, washcloths, hand towels, kitchen towels, and hot pads.
And because we know furry family members deserve vacations too, we welcome pets under 20 lbs for an additional fee. We can't wait to share our family beach house with you and yours!
For your peace of mind, we have security cameras monitoring the front door and garage
