Another wonderful stay

My husband and I wanted to get away from our busy lives and decided to go back down to stay at the Crystal Wave before school gets out. This was our 3rd stay at the home and everything was just great, as it’s always been!

This beach house was an amazing place to stay. The host was very responsive as well. The ocean views were stunning, and being just a few steps from the beach made the whole experience even better. The home also has a separate private “mother in law suite”with the same incredible view, which was perfect for a larger family or if you just prefer that extra privacy. Everything was cozy, clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Truly a great spot for a relaxing getaway!

From the outside the property does look that great but they are working on it. Inside it's nice and very clean and they have thought of everything you could need for your stay from the beach toys to towels, spices, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 September 2025
Thanks for the stay and for being excellent guests! The outside drainage project was unfortunately delayed by rain and thus not completely finished by the time of your check in. My apologies! The work has now been finished and won’t affect future guests. Hope you will come back again.
