Great House with EZ Beach Access

Owners were fantastic with pre-check in so we knew exactly how to get there and get access. The house is beautiful with lots of extra comfort items: nice kitchen appliances, beds and linens are great, outside patio has plenty of chairs and a table with shade umbrella, and lower patio has a new grill that was GREAT for cooking dinner. It’s only a block away from walking beach access- made it very simple to spend the day at the beach with the comfort of home nearby for restrooms and breaks. We stayed with all adults (young adult kids and two couples) and had plenty of room. A great weekend get away in a fantastic house.

Wonderful place to stay

My family and I had a great time. Beach entrance was just right across the street which was perfect for us having 6 children. Couldn’t have asked for a better host or a nicer place to stay. Thank you so much!! We will definitely be back.

Great location

Was a beautiful, clean, well stocked home. Beds were comfy and location to beach was ideal! Only concern or something that might want to let people aware is the top bunks do not have rails. I was to scared to let my kids stay on them for fear they would roll off. Other than that it was a beautiful property!!

Absolutely stunning house!

This house was the perfect set up for our retreat! We went down the Crystal beach for a charity event which we are sponsors for and the hosts were very responsive and wonderful to work with. The house was clean and comfortable and easily accommodated everyone. Definitely will be back! Thank you!
