The house was enough room for all fifteen of us. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The pool was great! The only disappointment was the bunk beds upstairs. I thought there was three as we had three granddaughters to sleep there and there were only two bunks. It was tight there for them. Other than that, it was fantastic.

We loved our stay at Crystal Playa! The home and carriage house were just the right size for our party of 3 families- 15 adults with 2 one year olds. The proximity to the beach was wonderful! The house and pool are well maintained. We will return again.

Use the 2nd beach access the one right across the street is horrible and the people setting up the private area moved our stuff even though we were outside of his ropes. Which Buy Florida law they cannot do. They only can access 20 feet away from wet sand and they were accessing all the way up to the wet water.

great place!

We love this place. It's perfect for our family. It was much more expensive this year so not sure we'll be back which is unfortunate. And, fortunately we were there later than usual for us because I could not pay an extra 784 to heat the pool. It is a wonderful home.

We loved everything about the property! The location is fantastic. My only complaint would be the bathroom on the 3rd floor has no counter space, which made getting ready a bit challenging. Other than that, and that was minor, it was a wonderful property!
