The property was excellent. Everything was top notch and a very beautiful and comfortable home. Having the beach access a block from the door was so convenient.The three master bedrooms were perfect for 3 adult couples. The home was spacious and included everything we needed. Having so much beach equipment, the wagon, the chairs etc. was so great. The BBQ grill was convenient for outside cooking and utilized often. We had everything we needed and will definitely stay here again.

The cabin was in excellent condition and is very well equipped with every thing from kids games to grills, dishes, pots, pans, spices and an added bonus of two large refrigerator freezers which was a huge bonuses. Three of the four bedrooms had king size beds and fourth had two queen size beds. Every room had its own full bathrooms and each room had very large walk in closets. The ground floor had a spacious bar with several stools to sit on. The upper porch had 8 captains chairs to lounge in. There are so many great things about this cabin there are two many to mention. Either my parents, deceased now, or I have rented cabins on Crystal beach for over 65 years. This cabin, by a large margin is the best I’ve ever rented. I’m envious it’s not mine. If I built my own it would be just like this one. Thanks to my host for making this the best vacation my family has ever had at Crystal Beach.

This home is better than advertised, VERY spacious for our family of 7! Tons of outdoor toys, games and beach supplies - basically everything you could ever need to have a great time! Kitchen is fully stocked of all kinds of cookware, having the two refrigerators was a genius idea, we designated one for food and the other for drinks. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and cozy. It’s a very close walk to the beach if desired but we rented golf carts to make lugging all our supplies down to the beach easier. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

We went for family weekend to celebrate all our September birthdays. Very nice house with great layout of bedrooms and kitchen/living. It fit our family of 12 nicely. Close to the beach within walking distance even though we carried ATV to haul tent, chairs etc to beach. Also had plenty extra chairs and beach games for use which we took advantage of. Check in and check out was very easy. Host Chrissy was very helpful. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

Great Beach Vacation!

We had an amazing time at this property, it is a very short walk to the walk on or golf cart cart access and it didn't take long to find a spot. If you really want drive on full vehicle access it's just up the street. All the bedrooms were spacious with great beds and none of them were twins! Beds were actually thick with support too! Great kitchen area for cooking for a group, and a living room dining room area you can easily hang out together or in two groups.The garage is well stocked with outdoor toys, games, chairs, and even a cart that doesn't just stop when it encounters sand!We are a pretty easy going group but this beach house exceeded expectations. Hosts were responsive when we had questions and everything went smooth! Highly recommend this property :)

This house was AMAZING!! It fit our family of 10 perfectly. It was clean, close to the beach, and had all of the "essentials" so when we arrived we didn't have to stress off the bat. We loved all the activities to do at the house and appreciated all of the beach equipment. The check in process was so easy and our host Chrissy is so nice. She gave us recommendations on places to go/see that were kid friendly which we really appreciated. Overall, we would come here again!!!
