Great Location

This home has everything you need and more with the best location that my family were looking for. This area was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. This home is directly on the beach that made it easy for my husband to fish with a bait shop 1 block over and 2 access points across the street in the bay for crabbing. I could not have asked for better communication from the owners John and Jennifer. Thank you for sharing your home with my family. We will definitely see you again.

Nice beach house

Very nice beach house. We had a couple of problems that we didn’t feel like was address properly with spending that much money to stay at this house. The remote was missing to the living room tv. The owner responded that it should be in the drawer on table and I messaged that it wasn’t. The owner responded that someone would be by the next day but wasn’t. By this time the family members that were in for the weekend were leaving. The next problem was the ax unit was controlled by 6pm it was preset to 77 and we couldn’t change it. It was miserable trying to cook and go to bed at bright. The owner never responded to my message. This is unacceptable being in august in the hottest month on the summer! I was 7 months pregnant and was so miserable from being hot that we ended up leaving a day earlier. This was our third beach trip this year to crystal beach and by far are least favorite!
