Lovely home. Homeowners were easy to reach. Outside needs some maintenance as well as a few things inside the house. Great location for the bike trail and some breweries.

This place was even better than the pictures, very clean with all the amenities you need . Plus there's a lot of small touches that made this place one of my favorites ! The record player was a huge plus and all the musical instruments was really cool! Our daughter move her from MS and this was our first time visiting her , this will be the only place we stay from now on when we come and visit! Our home away from home! Thank you again !

Great place close to Crystal Beach

We stayed about a week. Great house has all the amenities for cooking, a screened in back porch to enjoy the evenings, a nice fire pit, kayaks to enjoy the water on. Close enough to get to just about anything in the Tampa area within an hour. Will definitely stay again.

Respite from hurricane rebuild at home

We loved our stay at this home. We walked to the beach for the sunset, talked to some locals, enjoyed the fire pit, and appreciated the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Our host was very responsive and we look forward to returning!

This was a lovely little property in a great location. So close to Honeymoon Island and Tarpon Springs. Also within a very short distance of a park and access to the water.The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked. There were two great outdoor areas for seating both in a porch and outdoors with a fire pit.Communication was easy when we had a slight little problem.I would definitely recommend this property.
Water access just five minutes walk away

Great trip to Crystal Beach!

We stayed three nights at this awesome home steps away from beautiful Florida sunsets! Host was responsive and the place was super clean. The house was loaded with everything you'll need, including fun games and musical instruments. We'll definately be back. Check it out!

Great House in a Quiet Neighborhood

This house is perfectly located near the Gulf yet in a quiet neighborhood with lots of privacy. The very unusual instruments in the dining area were unexpected!

Great time

Our trip was amazing! The house met our expectations and more. It was nicely decorated and had all we needed. We were even surprised to see they had beach towels. Our kids loved the paddle board. Thank you for providing a great place for our vacation.

Great place

We enjoyed our stay. Had all of the amenities that we needed. Recommend bigger bath towels though and the scent of the cleaner that is used to clean the place wasn’t pleasant. But these are minor issues. Would definitely book again!

Quick Weekend Trip

My family and I travel to Florida each spring break for fun in the sun. Each year we visit a different beach. Last year we visited Naples. This year we were able to cross off two beaches with one trip, Clearwater and Honeymoon Island. This trip was special because I was able to enjoy it with my mom, it was her first time at the beach. Home is centrally located with lots of food options. It is comfy, warm, and modern.

Nice place to stay

Had a great stay here. Only a few suggestions. Towels could be bigger and the cleaner that they are using to clean has a bad smell. (We think that was what it was) But overall would definitely rent again!

Clean unfussy great host and great location and amenities

Super clean unfussy bungalow with hot tub walking distance to pinellas trail and walking distance to water great for kayak and fishing. Bonfire pit is great in backyard. Host is highly responsive and helpful. Would rent again only downside is the mattresses could be a bit more comfortable other than that everything you need for a great vacation including an air fryer juicer kitchen tools you wouldn’t expect! Thanks for a great stay

Mom's Service

We needed a place to stay as my mother passed away and our house was full with incoming family and guests so we rented "Catch the Breeze at Crystal Beach" and it was FABULOUS. Me and my girlfriends who came to support me had a wonderful time and everyone just loved the place and its peacefulness. Very cute and adorable cottage met all our needs and then some. We took major advantage of the screened in porch out back. it was perfect for wine nights and conversation we just absolutely enjoyed our stay...

Great location responsive hosts.

We loved the location and amenities at this property. They had everything we needed for a family beach vacation. We had so much fun on the screened porch in the evenings playing games and listening to tunes, even enjoyed some old records. We had an issue at check in with the cleaning done and the hosts responded immediately and took care of the issue. The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is that it may need some maintenance done. It is a beautiful property but starting to show some wear. Overall we were pleased with our stay and would recommend it to others.

Happy Holidays at Crystal Beach

We believe that the house was great and accessible to amenities. We, however, were four people in our eighties and think that an improvement would be to have dresser drawers in all three bedrooms, as per the #2 bedroom. Also in the main bedroom the TV position was a safety problem when having to get up in the night.. We also suggest larger bath towels would be nice. We enjoyed sitting outside and being able to use the screened in porch area. Thank you for a very nice stay at Catch the Breeze.
