About this property

'Relax at Crystal Beach' - Beautiful 4 bedroom spacious Home - Great Beach View

Our beach house was built in 2011 and is located on the 3rd row of a double lot. We have a great view of the beach which is accessible by foot or vehicle. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a great room and kitchen/dining as well as an outdoor bar. At each end of the house is a master bedroom with two additional bedrooms in the middle that share a jack n jill bath. The masters both have a queen size bed, while the middle rooms are equipped with custom made bunk beds (which has a much more spacious headroom than the typical bunk). One room contains 2 twin bunks and the other has a full on bottom and twin on top bunk.

We rent to families only - we are excited to share our beach home with other families that will appreciate and respect like we do.

Amenities include: A spacious deck with both covered areas as well as sun areas, fully equipped kitchen, Satelite TV, Free WiFi, gas grill and bed linens are provided.

This is a beautiful beach home. It is excellently maintained and exceeded our expectations. The home has plenty of room for everyone, inside and out, with a stunning wrap-around-porch and outdoor bar area. The beach views are the perfect cure for whatever ails you. We will definitely be looking to stay here again. 5 stars all the way!

Our stay at Relax @ Crystal beach house was absolutely incredible—easily one of the most relaxing and memorable getaways we’ve had. From the moment we arrived, everything felt perfect. One of the most magical parts of the stay was the bird watching. We watched pelicans soaring gracefully just above the waves, flocks of sandpipers racing along the shoreline, and our faves the spoonbills. The mornings were especially unforgettable—sipping coffee while listening to the sounds of gulls and watching the sky and water come alive with movement was just unreal. If you love nature even a little bit, this place is a dream.The location couldn’t have been better. A short walk to the beach meant we could catch stunning sunrises, take long peaceful walks, and end the day with breathtaking sunsets.Inside, the home was spacious and incredibly inviting. The kitchen had everything we needed, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. Every detail felt intentional and guest-focused, which really elevated the entire experience.Honestly, we didn’t want to leave. This beach house is a true gem, and we would recommend it without hesitation— we are already looking to rebook for an end of summer trip! Thank you so much Kathleen.

Wow...Wow...Wow!! Our stay at "Relax at Crystal Beach" was absolutely incredible! The ocean front views from the deck are truly spectacular - every morning we enjoyed coffee on the balcony while watching pelicans glide by, and in the evenings, a glass of wine paired perfectly with the peaceful sound of waves crashing along the shore. It was a perfect porch setting! The home is located in a nice, quiet area of the peninsula, which made it feel like a true escape. Inside, the home is quite spacious - we originally planned for 6 people, but when additional family joined, there was still more than enough room for everyone to be comfortable. We spent quality time playing cards, chatting and just enjoying each other's company in such a warm and inviting setting. The beds were super comfortable, best night's rest me my husband and I have had in months! The kitchen is huge and thoughtfully organized, making cooking a breeze. One detail we really appreciated was the owner leaving to-go containers so we could bring home leftovers. Overall, the vibe of the house is relaxing, cozy, and perfect for making memories. The home was so much more than we ever expected! We will definitely be staying here again! Two Thumbs Up!!

Perfect get-a-way for our family.

The perfect location and home for our weekend trip. I loved every minute in the home. The home was not only decorated beautifully but all the extra's really made it feel like a home away from home. The view, the location and the home were amazing. Highly recommend.

Annual Family Vacation

Every year our family goes to Crystal Beach for a family getaway. This is our second time to stay at this property and tried to get it another time but it was booked. We love the layout and views of the ocean. The proximity to the beach is excellent. The owners are excellent to work with and we highly recommend staying here. We will be back for a third time to this property if it’s available. It’s been our favorite place to stay in the five years we’ve vacationed at Crystal Beach.

We planned our vacation right before the hurricane was going to hit... our bad luck.. BUT Kathleen went above and beyond!! She was very understanding and was very patient with me and my family, as we were very nervous about the whole situation. My family and I will rent from her any time we go back to Crystal Beach!

Beautiful home, amazing vacation!

The home was everything we could have expected and MORE! The pictures did not do the property justice. Its just beautiful! The owners were great! They called to check in on us after check in and were very quick to respond when we had questions or needed anything. The entire peninsula lost power for about 9 hours one night and Kathleen made sure to keep us updated and had flashlights available for us to use! Rooms were well spaced out and plenty of privacy. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Family Fun

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house for families! We took both sets of grandparents, kids and siblings and the floor plan was amazing! There is plenty of room in the main area for everyone to hang out while cooking and eating. The rooms are separated enough that you get a little privacy when needed. The location was amazing for the beach! We set up camp and could see it from the windows all day. Easy access to walk or take a short golf cart ride to the beach. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed for cooking our meals. I would recommend staying here 10/10!! The one thing I would recommend is a TON of bug spray, the mosquitoes were no joke!!!

Great Location & Cozy Beach House

Beautiful water views from almost every room! The beach is a very short walk from this lovely, well-appointed home. The neighbors are not too close so you don't feel crowded or that you have no privacy. The owner was responsive and very pleasant during the booking and arrival processes. We stayed Thanksgiving Week 2024 so the beach house had probably been closed for the season so there was a little dust but nothing of importance. A set of double doors leading to the deck didn’t open but there were 3 other options for accessing the large deck. The bathrooms were clean and fresh bed linens were provided. The kitchen was spacious, had nice appliances (loved the double ovens) and there was plenty dishware and flatware for serving Thanksgiving dinner to a large family. There is a cargo lift that made getting provisions up from the lower level parking deck much easier than taking the stairs. YAY!!! Great property with everything you need.

Girls Weekend

What an awesome weekend. The house was beautiful, the beds were comfortable and bathrooms were spacious and very well appointed. I loved the deck, the views were wonderful, plenty of chairs to relax and enjoy the breeze. The weather wasn't really warm enough to sit on the beach but on the deck we were able to sit out and enjoy the sun out of the wind. One real small negative - We didn't realize until it was time for us to go to bed that there were no sheets on some of the beds, we found the sheets in the drawers under the beds and made them up, but we would have done that much sooner if we had realized, rather than wait until we were all really tired. This of course did not in anyway take away from our wonderful weekend in a beautiful house which we would loved to stay at again, hopefully for our girls trip next year. Thank you for sharing your home
Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
I am glad you enjoyed your stay and apologize for the inconvience of having to make the beds late in the evening. We do include in our welcome letter where the sheets are located and that these two rooms beds are not made. Again, I am glad it did not interfere with your trip.
