Great location, on the quiet end of the beach which was great. Very short walk to the beach. The picture I added is from the top balcony, to show how close the beach is to the house. The house in general was very nice and accommodating to our needs. The host is very responsive and handled all issues we had quickly. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future!

Peaceful getaway

This was our first time renting a beach cabin And let me tell you they have set the bar pretty high. Communication with the host was very fast when I had a questions to be answered.. When we first walked through the door we were very impressed with the spaciousness and cleanliness of it. The property is in a quiet neighborhood and it was nice just to let the kids play and enjoy themselves. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with extra appliances to make cooking easier.. I would definitely recommend staying here… Pretty top-notch

A perfect family and friends get away

We had such a great time staying at this house! Super close to the beach! We had kids ranging from 1 1/2 to 9 and it made naps and food times a breeze with the location. Having body wash and hair soap in dispensers on the wall in the shower wash genius. We’ve never had a rental with that! Overall- we’d definitely stay here again. Our friends want to make this a yearly tradition with our kids!

Great place to stay!

The property was very easy to find and had a short walk to the beach. Instructions for check in were clear and easy. The house was clean and came with a fully stocked kitchen. I will say that if you have a big group or a long stay to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags, as the supply was very limited. The only thing that docked on the cleanliness was because the outside fridge had stuff left in it from the previous renter that was missed by the cleaning staff. It caused an awful odor but once communicated to the host, was cleaned out for us.

Fun Weekend at Crystal Beach

We had a great stay at this house for the weekend. The house was well-appointed with everything we needed for the weekend. We had plenty of towels, dishes, and everything we needed in the kitchen. Each shower had a dipenser with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which was a great amenity. The walk to the beach was so close, and we enjoyed the firepit one night. I would highly recommend staying here, and I would definitely stay here again. The beds were all clean and very comfortable. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool table as well. It was a great stay and a great location!!
