The PERFECT beach house! The second story bar was such a nice spot to enjoy the shade and to watch the rain. The house is clean and well kept and has every thing you need for a vacation!

So glad that you enjoy your stay at our beach home. Thanks for allowing us to host your family on your beach get a way. Looking forward to hosting you again!
An very clean and well furnished home. Very comfortable and with a great ocean view for a home that is not on the beach. Plenty of room for our party of 10. We would stay there again. Highly recommended.
The house was terrific. I like the fact that there were separation of the living quarters and the socializing area downstairs. It was a terrific experience overall, and I highly recommend it

We are grateful that you entrusted us to host your family’s get away. So glad that You enjoyed your stay. Look forward to hosting you again!
This beautiful beach house was everything we planned for and more. Extremely clean, well stocked in all areas of the house: bathrooms, kitchen, extra towels, beach towels, toiletries. The outdoor furniture was so comfortable that we spent just as much time, if not more, outside than inside. The dumbwaiter made unloading and loading so much more pleasant.

So happy you enjoyed your stay! Looking forward to hosting your next vacation!
The house was beyond amazing. The pictures do no justice. Beach view is amazing. We loved the 2nd deck. I will say the MOSQUITOES ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!! So bring some spray. They do have outdoor spray available. The walk to the beach is very short. We will definitely rent again.

Thank you so much for your review. Thank you for the opportunity to let us host your beach get away. Look forward to hosting you again.
Beautiful location, house is well appointed and very clean. The decks have an amazing view. Easy to access the beach and other Crystal Beach amenities. Beds are comfortable, everything clean and nice when we arrived. We had no issues accessing the property. Plenty of parking.
We loved every minute of our stay! We enjoyed listening to music on the second level bar area! Great sound system! Kitchen and bathrooms were updated. All the extra amenities were appreciated as well! We highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Loved spending time on the porch with the view of the beach and sound of the waves. Very relaxing! The host was very responsive, which was an added bonus.
We booked a last-minute mini vacay for spring break here. The home is gorgeous and was perfect for our group. We loved the outdoor space as well! Owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Would love to rent again!
