The house was wonderful. It was beautifully done and very clean. The house was also excellently stocked with kitchen utensils. You might think of putting in a gate at the top of the stairs.
An absolute perfect home for our family vacation! Only a 2 minute walk to the beach. The house is beautiful and so comfortable! We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to friends and family! Thank you!
The owners have thought of everything! Best stocked kitchen we have ever had. Phone chrgers, games, extra pillows. The neighborhood was very quiet. Beautifully, tastefully decorated.
We had such a great stay at Serenity Now. The place was beautiful—bright, clean, and well taken care of. The location made everything very easy, just a quick walk to the beach.Lauren was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Anytime we had a question, she got back to us right away.I would definitely recommend!
We took a end of the summer trip with the kids and had a great & relaxing time! Great house + great location+ great company = Forever memories!!! Definitely will be coming back and couldn’t thank the host enough for the thorough communication!
Very well appointed, great location to the beach. Furniture was comfortable and appliances were new and worked great. Very clean and well maintained property, Will definitely rent again. Highy recommended!!
We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas at this beach house. What you see in the photos is exactly what you get. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The host was wonderful at communicating and making sure everything was perfect!
The house was amazing! We really enjoyed our stay. Lauren was great. Any request we had she would respond to us in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re going to a Crystal Beach.
We had a great time and loved your property. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet and clean. Loved the peninsula. Can't say enough about how nice your property is. We'll definitely recommend your property to our friends and would love to come back again,.
Lauren was super and very responsive to every message I sent!! The property itself was so homey ❤️ We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone!! We will definitely book here again!! Thank you for a super awesome Anniversary weekend!!
Amazing location and beautiful home. Hosts were exceptional with a few hiccups we had and got us squared away without delay. The home is exactly as advertised and access to the beach is so easy to use. We rented the golf cart which made our stay and trips to and from the beach so simple and stress free! Would highly recommend and will hopefully be back ourselves!
The house was very well outfitted for our family of 6. The kitchen had everything we needed and all was in working order. You could tell the owners cared about their guest and their experience. The cart and sand toys were a great surprise. The house was well kept and cared for. We will return in the future.

What makes this property unique
Who does not enjoy a nice golf cart ride? The best way to get around Crystal Beach in the summer months is by golf cart, not because of traffic, but just because it's fun. Golf carts can be used on the city streets and on the beach. Golf carts cannot be used on or along the side of the main path through Crystal beach, Hwy 87. So how does one get around? Golf carts are allowed to directly cross the Hwy. The beach and Hwy 87 run parallel to each other, so anything you would like to get to turns into a ride down the beach, then a quick ride on a local street to your destination such as restaurants and stores:
