You are just steps from Gulf Shore Park, where you will find fitness enthusiasts, pup parents, and small craft boaters.

While relaxing in this renovated paradise, you will love all of the options available to get outside and enjoy the Florida weather... relax and unwind in the spa, hang with friends around the firepit, cook up some barbeque on the grill, enjoy your favorite beverage on the screened patio, have some lunch in the tropical front yard in between the trees, or enjoy your coffee on the covered front porch, the possibilities are endless.

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.

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.

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.

Great place

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!

We had a wonderful time in this delightful home. The kitchen and furniture was fabulous. The lanai and backyard was a wonderful addition to enjoy relaxing outside in a private area. We really enjoyed this beachy home and all the personal touches for decor and recreation. My teen son really enjoyed playing the steel drums so we bought him a small one during a visit to Tarpon Springs. We would definitely recommend! ps. only challenge was the toilet running and the bathtub filling up with a bit of water during showers. I'm sure these will be remedied easily.Thank you so much Coastal Retreat!!ps. We also appreciated the kayaks and paddleboard!! 3 3 3

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.

Comfortable, clean, and plenty to do

This home was perfect for our family vacation. Well appointed with amenities, snacks, and kitchen utensils. Beach chairs were available, and we purchased and donated a beach umbrella for the visitors to use after during their stay. Games available for any nighttime family time or during rainy days. Beds seemed comfortable. 2nd guest room queen bed was firm with a softer top feel to it bedroom with single beds were firm with soft top as well. Master bedroom bed was neither soft nor firm according to my mother in law. The few issues we had initially upon arrival were readily addressed upon notification to our host. Beds were firm and comfortable

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.

Best Beach House Ever!

I have stay in many beach houses. Some really nice and some not so nice, but this house is by far my favorite one so far. Nicely decorated, cold air, comfy beds. Several beaches close by. Our favorite was Honeymoon Beach. It wasn’t as crowded as Clearwater. We didn’t want the chaos that comes with a crowded beach. We went to Tarpon Springs and enjoyed the Greek food and took a dolphin cruise. It was fantastic! So if you are looking for a nice beach house in a quiet, friendly neighborhood this is it. Also has a screened in back porch which we loved sitting on at night. And cool lizards my granddaughter loved taking pictures of. ❤️

It was fine

Don’t get me wrong, the location and included amenities (kayaks and paddle boards) were great. The back area is also nice and we had a fun evening sitting and talking out there. There was a huge incomplete ceiling repair that unless I missed something, was not mentioned in the listing. There is a lot of aging in the kitchen with a leaky water dispenser and rust. To be fair, we didn’t make a stink about it because our stay was short. My brother did call in a faulty toilet during our stay though. The communications were good, and they were considerate. Overall, considering the space and location, it was fine, but we will consider other rentals on our next visit.
