Thank you for choosing our house for your family getaway — I’m glad the bunk rooms and elevator made things easier for everyone. Hope to welcome you back for more memorable beach fun soon!
Everything we needed was there and the beach house had more than enough room for our big group. Clean and very nice! The host was great as well and always answered messages in a timely manner.
Everything was as the description suggests. The house was a delight. I usually pack things from home that I might need to cook with and didn’t need to unpack my crates like others houses in the past.
This home is simply perfect! It’s HUGE and just beautiful! Everything was amazing! My entire family had the best time and look forward to coming back later this year. The host is very responsive and knowledgeable of the home. She’s great. We’ll definitely be back.
Beautiful and amazing farewell to summer. Our family made wondeful memories in celebration on our mom's 80th. Thank you Shelly, the home is very spacious the beds are very comfy. Great accomadations. Beach is very near and we had a blast.
The property was very well-maintained and kept up. Very nice amenities and conveniences. The home was lovely for us to stay in and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The beach was close by and lots of entertainment
This was the best beach house we’ve ever stayed in! 4 king beds, extremely comfy, well stocked kitchen, patio amazing, the host was wonderful!! We will definitely try and stay here again!!

So glad you enjoyed your stay Danielle! We enjoyed having you and would love to host you again. Please consider us for your next visit to Crystal Beach
Nice relaxing vacation. House is beautiful and the surrounding area is quiet despite being close to beach. Quick drive to convenient stores and restaurants.
Truly lovely and comfortable home with great hosts. Communication was top notch and the check in/out process was smooth and easy. The house is well stocked and steps from the water. Our group was comfortable and had plenty of space. Highly recommended!
We had great time staying at the Crystal Cabana. It was perfect for our large family group. It had everything we needed and easy access to the beach. Shelly was a great host making check in and departing very easy. We hope to come again someday.
