Our family had a great time and loved that the house was right on the beach. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute of our vacation. The hot tub was excellent way to end the evening and relax.

House was convenient to the beach and had a great view of the water. The hot tub was an extra added bonus that we really enjoyed. There was no lift to assist in bringing your luggage, ice chests, etc. up the stairs. Very limited items such as cooking items to choose from.

Thank you for the 4-star review of MoonStone. We're glad the location, water view, and hot tub added to your stay. I’m sorry the stairs and lack of a lift made hauling luggage difficult and that the kitchen supplies felt limited. We’ll update the listing to clarify the stairs and will review adding more cookware and basic kitchen items. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again.

Moonstone At Crystal Beach

We just love Crystal Beach, going to the "Big Store" and walking on the beach. We have stayed at Moonstone 4 times. Comfy place to stay, a stone throw to the beach. Feels like home.

Awesome location

Great location right on the beach with very little traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend and will stay again. Our only issue was the TV in the living room locking up constantly.
