The property was just as pictured on the site. The host was friendly and available. The house is fully stocked from the kitchen to all three bathrooms. The kitchen has several pots and cookware, blenders, air fryer, coffee makers,and knives etc. Each bedroom has TVs including patio deck area. I give the beds an easy 10. The beds were very comfortable.Hot outside, but very cook inside, air works well!! Overall it was a memorable trip the house was perfect for the ten adults in my party for the weekend. We would definitely stay again!

Great place for big family

We loved the house here. It’s a tradition of our large family to come down on the fourth and this house did not disappoint. It’s large with a great patio and downstairs is awesome with a ping pong table. Rent a golf cart to take to the beach. It makes life easier and is fun to drive on the beach.

Great Gathering of Family

The property was great for a gathering of 20 family members. The host had everything we needed stocked in the house to cook and enjoy great meals together. The porch that wrapped around the house with access from every downstairs king room was an added plus. The smart TVs in every room was good to have for the different age groups as well as the big screen on the outsdie deck. We could have used more space in the common areas, but we are family and we worked it out. Looking forward to our next visit to Crystal Beach.

Excellent House & Amenities!

Overall this was a perfect spot and amenities for our family group and the extremely prompt communication from Cynthia the property manager made it a great experience for us. The property was extremely well laid out and functional for a mid to large size group. Having the coffee, dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo were all little things that mattered (we are a family that frequents Destin and beach houses and often the little details are not included - they definitely were here!). We were thrilled with the property (the teenagers loved the ping pong and games and bunk room upstairs - brilliant!). All of the beds were extremely comfortable as well. We will definitely consider this property again in the future!

The house is beautiful and well appointed.

Everything was fine. One minor issue that I do not blame on the homeowners or VRBO. When we arrived the garbage bins were full. We were there from Monday through Thursday morning and garbage was never picked up.

Large family vacation

Perfect house for our family of 15! Within a few blocks of the beach. Definitely walkable but recommend renting the golf cart to make beach transport easier. Very close to the Big Store for quick grocery runs. Owner was accommodating. Our first golf cart didn’t work, but they arranged to get a different one from another property which was nicer than the first cart. The house was clean, sizable & well appointed. Beach is hard packed sand & easily walkable. Water is brown. Motorized traffic is allowed on the beach, so it’s not very quiet. Lots of trash on the beach that washes up from the Gulf. If going to Galveston, plan for plenty of time for the ferry.

This beach house was absolutely everything we needed!

I’ll start off by saying the location was great, straight walk to the beach! It was right by The Big Store where we bought groceries we needed. There were several super close local restaurants that we tried that were amazing. The home was perfect and super spacious, plenty of room for parking, we had 4 vehicles, the outdoor area was so spacious and had plenty of seating. The workout up the stairs was what we needed on vacation to keep those calories off 😂! The home inside and out was absolutely beautiful! So many rooms with plenty of space and plenty of restrooms. Everything we could need in the kitchen, laundry, overall very well equipped. The tvs came in handy when we needed the tiny ones occupied while gathering things, the outdoor tv was perfect for a night movie with plenty of seating. We didn’t get to use the golf cart but we look forward to it the next time. Communication was above and beyond, thank you Cynthia and Nate for our amazing stay! The ferry was a little bit of a wait and drive if you are wanting to go to the Galveston area, next time we would definitely just stick to the bolivar. This was our first time in the area.
