This was our 2nd time here and it did not disappoint! Jordyn, our host was awesome and very helpful. Even the response time was on point! We loved it and enjoyed our stay.
The property was well maintained and in a great location. The property manager responded to my coordination items almost instantly. I highly recommend this rental to others.
We had a great time staying here! We really enjoyed the water view from the spacious balcony and getting to the beach was a breeze. And better yet, there were chairs, an umbrella, and a wagon to carry everything to the beach! Would definitely stay again!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The beach is right across the street, and the location is convenient to many restaurants and local attractions. We would happily return!
Very spacious modern unit with everything you would need for short or medium length stay. Close to beach. Well managed - excellent communication from host. Would definitely return.
Very nice property and would definitely book this place again. Communications were spot on with updates and anything we would need or encounter. Very clean and across the street from the beach. Thank you.
The condo was super clean! It had everything you need for at the beach or just staying for some relaxation. We had a corner room with a lovely and spacious wrap-around-balcony. I would stay here again!
Great location. Got our condo ready for an early check in. Super quick response from property manager about any questions. Looking forward to staying again.
Listing is as advertised and more. Great access to beach. Easy parking. Rental is clean and quiet. If your looking to cook in you wont be doing big meals for lack of pots and pans which is the case in most rentals for my experience. Overall great experience and would recommend.

Thank you for the review and feedback, Jeremy! We are glad to hear you had a great experience! Hope to have you back again!
We love Treasure Island and have stayed at Crystal Palms twice now. The location is perfect. Directly across the street from the beach. Our condo was completely equipped with everything you would ever need. The added beach wagon and chairs were much appreciated. We left a few beach things that we had purchased also for others to enjoy. Thanks for a great stay!!

Thanks for the awesome review, Tara!!! We hope to have you back again!!
This condo is amazing! The views, convenience to the beach and restaurants, cleanliness, roominess, amenities -- absolutely the BEST! The kitchen and living space is very large. The deck is phenomenal with spectacular sunset views. The bathrooms are spacious. The pool and hot tub were very nice and clean. The owner was responsive when setting up the reservation and great throughout the stay and when leaving. We will definitely be back!!
We had a great stay here (2 adults and 3 children); everything was as described in the listing. We arrived late, but there were no issues with the instructions for getting our keys and parking pass. The corner location has benefits, including morning sunrises and evening sunsets. The property owner was quick and responsive to any questions we had.

This was an amazing place to stay!! Close to the beach, hoses to rinse sand off, covered reserved parking place, clean condo, and the best host!! We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. It was so nice to eat meals out there. The pool and hot tub were also so nice. Would highly recommend and would most definitely stay here again!!
