Beautiful location, house is well appointed and very clean. The decks have an amazing view. Easy to access the beach and other Crystal Beach amenities. Beds are comfortable, everything clean and nice when we arrived. We had no issues accessing the property. Plenty of parking.
We loved every minute of our stay! We enjoyed listening to music on the second level bar area! Great sound system! Kitchen and bathrooms were updated. All the extra amenities were appreciated as well! We highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Loved spending time on the porch with the view of the beach and sound of the waves. Very relaxing! The host was very responsive, which was an added bonus.
BEAUTIFUL!! The house was so pretty and perfectly set up for a nice long weekend. We enjoyed the 2nd floor for games and it was nice when it rained. We will definitely rent this property again.

We booked a last-minute mini vacay for spring break here. The home is gorgeous and was perfect for our group. We loved the outdoor space as well! Owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Would love to rent again!

Thanks Tiffany, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our home on the beach. We look forward to hosting your family again!
The house was perfect! Clean and exactly as described. The location was perfect—just a short walk/drive to the beach and close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent, very responsive and helpful. The only small issue was the door—it was a bit tricky to lock, so a quick note or instructions on that would be helpful. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay again!

The beach house was exactly like the photos and was spotlessly clean. The primary bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was stocked properly for basic meal prep. The deck was perfect for sunrise and sunset viewing and all other times as well. The lift for hoisting suitcases and supplies to the third level was a lifesaver! Those particular types of electronic lockbox and hurricane door lock were new to me, so a phone call helped with advice. Thank you! I wish I had brought a folding lawn chair to carry to the beach and sit close to the water. The days and nights were quiet, peaceful, and relaxing (except for NYE). It was a good stay!
Absolutely loved everything about this property! We had one issue with the air conditioning, which was taken care off very efficiently and in a timely manner. One warning, we reserved this property because of the fenced in yard for pets, but the 2 gates were missing. We ended up not bringing the dogs, so it worked out. So ask ahead if the gates have been replaced. This property checked all the boxes for us.

Thanks for the review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in our beach home. We will make sure to highlight the fact that the backyard is not completely fenced in. We look forward to hosting you again.
My family and I stayed here this past weekend and the pictures did it no justice I tell you. It was even more than what I expected. Location is amazing. Sits very close to the beach. You can hear ocean waves all night, watch the sunset and even sleep out. Beautiful 2nd deck where honestly is the heart of the house. Sound system ready for whatever mood your wanting to create. Very spacious, seating was more than enough. I brought my hammock and slept with those ocean waves crashing in the background. I have been to many, this one checked all my list! It’s a keeper. Definitely will return time and time again. Thanks you for your home this weekend
