RQ3 2022 Chapter Retreat at Crystal Beach

Shenanigans was everything it listed and then some!! The house was really clean, centrally located, and had we needed anything, it was already there at the property. This is really a great property. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect fit

This house was designed for people who wish to stay in or near the house. Ample seating for meals and relaxation as a group. The acoustics were awesome since we took a few guitars with us too. We had a local church youth group I saw from another review, carry the luggage up for a donation. You can reach them at 409-684-4413. Ask for Pastor Daniel. This was a wonderful vacation and i would recommend the house to anyone who wants to leave some trouble behind for a few days.

Great House!

The house was great. I received so many compliments from all of my friends and family for choosing this house. From the location to proximity to the beach, to the house itself, it was great. The only knock, if there is any (and there's really nothing else), but the house swayed a bit. We have stayed in a Crystal Beach Beachhouse every summer for the last 10 years. We have never stayed in the same house twice. I have never felt a house sway, but this one did. I wasn't the only one that felt it, but it was very minimal at best. It was actually kind of cool, cuz we felt like we were on a cruise ship. It doesn't sway enough to cause dizziness or any sea sickness or anything like that, but we certainly felt it. The house was super clean, and it was fully furnished. My wife said that it was probably one of the best stocked houses that we have stayed in. (Again, we have stayed in a beach house every summer). We really didn't bring anything other than our swimsuits and food and drink. That was it. It was a great stay, and we would highly recommend this house to anyone.

Above Average - 4 Stars

Location was great, plenty of hot water, nice furniture and plenty of cooking utensils. We were short on wash clothes and that was handled efficiently. The keyless lock on the door wouldn't open with our code so we had to use the key and lock box. As we had different people coming in and out at different times. This is a very nice house.

Beautiful place & location! Check in was frustrating several key codes wouldn’t work. The key in the lock box wouldn’t work on the door. The lift was messed up and ended up having a maintenance guy come out said he had to order a part. Little problem with love bugs in one of the bedsrooms they came out cleaned everything up and put on fresh sheets. We would stay again there was 9 of us and had a blast!!

This is the second time we have stayed at Shenanigans. We had a great time! The cargo lift was a definite plus. The hot tub is nice, but takes up a lot of space on the deck. We have stayed at Flamingo, and Serenity, twice. We will be back.

Would have been 5 star but

Location was exceptional! The living areas were wonderful and the kitchen was the heart.Upstairs bedrooms the configuration did not make sense. The issue is if you were staying in the back room you had to go in and out of the first room. Now we looked at many houses and chose this one because it had a lift. It worked one time going up and was not working the whole ten days we stayed. Taking everything we brought up 20 feet of stairs was exhausting since we had two people that were handicap and a pregnant mother that couldn't carry their belongings.

Shenanigans is Awesome

Shenanigans is a great house for a beach vacation. It has direct beach access, lots of decks and a large, covered area downstairs. With 5 bedrooms there is plenty of room for a large party. One of the best aspects of this house is the second refrigerator, which gives plenty of space for food and beverage storage. Everyone in our party absolutely loves Shenanigans.

Beautiful Beach House, View, and Amenities Galore

This beach house has amazing views. It was exceptionally clean and beautiful. The kitchen has everything you might need including two refrigerators. There are two areas for visiting with friends inside and many more tables, chairs, and a hot tub for gathering outside. It was absolutely perfect and my group will return next year. I highly recommend this vacation rental for a small or very large group. We did not have children with us on this trip, but it would be great for all ages. There is even a high chair tucked away if needed.

Shenanigans is Beautiful

This was our first stay in Crystal Beach and we loved it. The home is just right for a vacation rental. We had everything we needed including the perfect view to watch the Memorial Day guests on the beach. We can't wait to come back. Oh and the office makes the booking process a breeze!
