Great stay

We enjoyed our stay in this house! The location was great as we were close to the stores for when we needed a few things and also right by the beach! It was a very short walk with easy access to get on the beach which made it really convenient for our family.

The house had everything we needed for our vacation. Any questions we had, the owner was quick to respond. The littles loved feeding the turtles. Location was perfect. Just a few blocks from the beach and the restaurants were close. We will definitely recommend this house to everyone

Shore Beats Work

Enjoyed our long weekend beach trip! Excellent location, close, easy walk to beach and just a few minutes to the Big Store. One of the best stocked kitchens of the homes we have stayed in on Crystal Beach. The house is a very warm and inviting space! Also, nice decks and overall outdoor space.

Lovely hime, great location

We truly enjoyed our stay at "Shore Beats Work". The home was clean, well stocked, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well supplied with everything youd need to prepare meals. The outdoor area was also perfect for enjoying some family time. The location is perfect, just a short walk to beach access. Its also close to tbe Big Store and other shops in Crystal City. I would definitively recommend staying here and hope we can return ourselves.

Great trip

My only complaint is that when we arrived the trash can in the kitchen was full and had the house smelling a little ripe. A quit trip to the dumpster and some spray and all was well. Second time my wife and I have stayed at this location. It has proven to be a quite enjoyable stay both times. Highly recommend.

“Shore Beats Work” sure beats work!

Loved our stay-will rent again. Four girlfriends enjoying beach time together. Might want to balance the ceiling fan in the guest room next to the twin bed guest room-can be noisy-something minor. Loved the lights on the porch-great place to listen to the waves and enjoy a glass of wine. Very comfortable beach house.

It ‘Shore beat Work’

Nice neighborhood. Close enough to say ‘at’ beach without being actually ‘on’ beach. Was clean and had every thing we needed. Did not have to make any calls for missing , broken or misrepresented items!! Would definitely rent again.

Will Definitely Stay Here Again

We have been vacationing at Crystal Beach for the last 10 years, and this place is one of the best houses we have ever rented there. The house is definitely "lived in" and it has all of the household accessories that you will need. Other houses in Crystal that we have stayed in the past have not had many, if any at all. The island was without power for the two days that we were there, and the owners graciously allowed us to stay an extra night. They were obviously not obligated to offer that, and my three kids really appreciated being able to stay with actual AC! We will definitely stay there again!

GREAT trip!!!

We absolutely LOVED our stay in Shore Beats Work! The house is beautiful and in a wonderful location! We could easily walk to the beach from the house. The amenities were awesome! They have cornhole downstairs and a fun ring/hook game. In addition, they have a sound system with local radio stations below the house…it was so much fun. The only regret is that we chose to leave early due to hurricane Beryl. Michelle Davis (the host) was so gracious and kind!! She asked if we needed anything, offered to let us stay or give us a refund. We loved the house, the host, the neighbors and neighborhood so much that we opted for a trip to the same house in the fall:). We can’t wait to go back for another visit!!
