This was the most comfortable beach house I've ever rented. The air conditioning worked great. I've been in other beach houses that struggled to stay under 80 degrees. The interior finishes are modern & relatively new.It's a beach front location & doesn't have immediate next door neighbors which is great.

Our stay at Fire & Ike was amazing! the home was right near the beach! amazing views from the deck. Tons of seating inside, and beds for all our guests. We had a great time. only thing is we wished the volleyball net/court had sand and not on grass.

Stellar Property!

We absolutely loved staying at Fire & Ike! The home was lovely, kitchen and living area were very easy to hang out in and make memories. The beach view was fantastic, we even got to use the fire pit! (highly recommend). We could not have asked for a better stay at Crystal Beach.

Great beachfront house

Our extended family stayed here and there was plenty of room for everyone. The short walk to the beach, beach toys in the storage room, comfortable bedding, cleanliness, the bedrooms were quiet even when people were in the living room or kitchen....all around awesome house. Definitely recommend and will rent again.

Wonderful break!

What a GREAT place! We came in for just a short time and wow, was it wonderful and relaxing. It really is right on the beach and great location, close to restaurants, grocery store, and bars! Great time watching the waves from the deck with coffee for morning and wine for evening, with beach time in between. The house had everything we needed and is beautiful. Just the recharge we were after, and we will definitely be back next year! Thank you!
