The host was very accommodating and helpful. The house was very clean and neat and decorated very well. It was great that our pets were allowed, it would be helpful if pets were able to exit the top deck and enter the back yard directly, that would keeps old folks from having to go downstairs each time to open the gate to the back yard, ha. The kitchen was beautiful and surprisingly was well stocked with plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. There were even sweeteners and cream as well as different flavors for coffee. We enjoyed our stat and will look forward to staying again next year. It’s the best house we have rented.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We especially love hearing that it’s the best house you’ve rented—that means so much to us! Having direct access from the upper deck to the backyard is actually a project we’ve been considering—not just for our guests, but for ourselves too! It would definitely make things easier, especially with pets. We truly appreciate you staying with us and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Great floor plan. 3 bed, 2 1/2 bath. Big living room and open kitchen. Huge porch with fun big Connect Four game and hammock. Plenty of seating outside and inside. Fully stocked kitchen with lots of cooking tools. Very quiet street. Owner was very quick to respond to questions. Fully fenced yard for pets. This was our first visit to Crystal Beach. We really enjoyed this neighborhood and beach area. Visited July 5-7. It was remarkably quiet in this neighborhood and on the beach during our stay. Be sure and eat at Jose's. It is great food and fun. Tia Juanita's Fish Camp is also good.

This was the absolute best house for a girls trip with six ladies! Very accommodating, roomy and decorated beautifully! Only downsides: no bath towels in the guest bathroom; we just used beach towels. Also the main door was very hard to open and close.We donated a canopy; left it by the outdoor shower.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Huerta

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Laura, your main host here at Señor Whiskers Beach House. My husband Steven and I bought this house back in 2018 with my wonderful parents, Larry and Glenda. We love going to the beaches in Mexico, and that's where my dad got the nickname Señor Whiskers.

Why they chose this property

Don't be mislead by the name of our street, "Main Street." In fact, it's the least bustling Main Street I have ever encountered. It is a tranquil street with minimal traffic and a brief stroll to the beach. As a bonus, we are fortunate to have wonderful neighbors.

What makes this property unique

We have a 1,100-square-foot wrap-around deck with plenty of seating, a fire pit in our fenced-in backyard, a cargo lift that we let guests use, super-comfy beds, and we are dog-friendly. Check out our five-star reviews!

We take pride in our home and prioritize customer service and cleanliness. If you have any questions or concerns during your stay, please contact us immediately, and we will try our best to respond ASAP.

We hope to host you soon!
