The Crystal Wave: beachfront bliss on a large land
The Crystal Wave is a beachfront bliss on a 0.7 acre land with panoramic unobstructed ocean view! It is right next to a paved beach access road in a quiet residential neighborhood. Romantic walks on the beach are right out the door, or run the kids ragged on the beach all day then sit around the living room on the comfortable couch, or relax at the end of a 'beachy' day watching gorgeous sunset from the screen-in porch!! Large, wrap-around deck on the main level is the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful unobstructed view and listen to the peaceful sound of the waves.
The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. With a split-bedroom floor plan, the house offers maximum privacy even for a large group. The main portion of the house has an open kitchen/living/dining area, the master bedroom with ensuite full bathroom, guest bedroom#1 separated from the master bdrm by the living area, and a common full bath (with washer and dryer). The guest quarter, separated by a breeze way from the main quarter, features two more bedrooms (guest bedroom#2 and #3) that are separated by the third full bathroom.

Second time my family and myself have stayed here in two months. Each time the beach house has been extremely clean and a perfect location to the beach also it’s a peaceful relaxing setting
This is a wonderful place! The location and view are excellent! The house is spacious, clean, and very well appointed. Communications with the owner were very swift and pleasant. I would certainly book here again!
This beach house was an amazing place to stay. The host was very responsive as well. The ocean views were stunning, and being just a few steps from the beach made the whole experience even better. The home also has a separate private “mother in law suite”with the same incredible view, which was perfect for a larger family or if you just prefer that extra privacy. Everything was cozy, clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Truly a great spot for a relaxing getaway!
We loved everything about this house! It had plenty of room for my family and the view was great! Hosts were super friendly and very responsive! We will definitely be coming back!
Great location, quiet and relatively secluded. Clean, well kept and very well supplied. Kitchen was great. A/C works perfectly. Has 1 unit for the main house and separate unit for guest area. Had a very relaxing time! Large porch space.
Lovely porch to enjoy the ocean breeze, the kitchen has everything that you need to cook any meal. I recommend this house, definitely will be back next year.
From the outside the property does look that great but they are working on it. Inside it's nice and very clean and they have thought of everything you could need for your stay from the beach toys to towels, spices, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Thanks for the stay and for being excellent guests! The outside drainage project was unfortunately delayed by rain and thus not completely finished by the time of your check in. My apologies! The work has now been finished and won’t affect future guests. Hope you will come back again.
Excellent location, front row to the beach with an easy stroll. Communication and check-in/check-out was clear and simple. The house was clean, set up very well, stocked with thoughtful amenities and my family had a wonderful, peaceful 4th of July.
My husband and I wanted to get away from our busy lives and decided to go back down to stay at the Crystal Wave before school gets out. This was our 3rd stay at the home and everything was just great, as it’s always been!
The house was great. The walk to the beach was short & convenient. The owner is kind, easy to reach & helpful. We cooked a ton and had plenty of supplies. We loved our time here.
The property was in overall good condition and clean. We had a perfect view of the ocean from the deck as well as from multiple rooms within. There was easy, quick, walkable access to the beach from the front door. The house itself was well appointed and met all our needs. We were very satisfied with our stay.
We stayed over the July 4th week with our family and it was perfect. Unobstructed ocean view and direct beach access. So peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of room for all of us and they provided everything we needed. We came prepared but if you forgot anything it will be there. Loved this property!
