Definitely 5 stars

This is an excellent property and such a cute beach house. We vacation in coastal towns often, and while we spent most of our time in Niagara Falls, this house and the town of Crystal Beach were great to come back to each evening and spend time on the beach. It was the best of both worlds. If we're ever back in the area, we would certainly book this property again.

To aid in the hosts correct information upon booking please always offer this information when using another person's profile. We appreciate for all parties safety. Safe travels

Comfortable, great for families and closevto the beach

Very great for families (has a crib, play pen and high chair) and many games that my kids ended up playing. The beach is 10 minutes. The place is well maintained and looks like the photos. Would stay here again.

Perfect beach vacation spot

We stayed here in the summer and enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, but also being slightly off the main beach strip where it’s a little quieter. The house is new and well equipped. We had everything we needed for a great stay. I was pleasantly surprised to find some beach umbrellas and chairs out back, which were helpful as it was a very hot week in the sun. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Very nice home

Connie has a very nice property just a short walk to the beach. There was a problem with the address on the site, it was wrong, but Connie responded very quickly and it was sorted out asap. The home is lovely with lots of room. We would have appreciated some soap for the showers and sharp knives or knife. These are minor items so not a big problem. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you Robin for your review, we appreciate all feedback Unfortunately VRBO had our address incorrect and with great efforts and long conversations we were finally able to have it corrected by them. You and your guests were just a few houses away so not that much of an inconvenience I would expect. To address you request for shower soap, we do not advertise we supply it thus all guests are aware prior to arrival. It would be their responsibility to provide for themselves. The kitchen is well equipped with knives and all cooking supplies. Its a hard task to please everyone however we do our best with what we do supply. You are welcome.

Fantastic rental for young families!

As a young family wanting to take our first vacation with our son and see Crystal Beach, I can say that it's nearly impossible to find rentals that accommodate young children with the amenities they offer. Most advertising a "crib" are usually offering little more than a fold-up pack and play - which is an uncomfortable and unsafe option for overnight sleep for very young children. We were so happy to find this rental with a real crib! and not just a real crib - also having a highchair, infant bath tub, and a nice assortment of young chlidren's toys was PERFECT. This is a stand out rental - our little guy was overjoyed with all there was to do and we could pack a little lighter because of that (we don't have a huge car!), and he slept like a dream! For us adults - the place was nice and clean, roomy, and had a well stocked kitchen of supplies and a nice assortment of stocked towels and wash cloths in each room. We didn't use the outside area due to chilly weather, but there was lots of outdoor seating, a fire pit and BBQ under some nice string lights outside too. The location is also A+ - right on the edge of the downtown strip it's a mere minutes walk to all sorts of food, shops, breakfast, and beach entrances. It's the best of everything as far as not being right on the water goes. The only minor downside was the curtains on the patio doors in the master let a ton of light in - blackout curtains would be nice :) We hope to return again soon!!

Family Vacation at the Beach

We had a great family vacation in Crystal Beach. The place was new, very clean, with everything we needed including a high chair for my daughter. We would definitely come back in the future. Thanks for the great stay.
