Summer Vacay - Perfect Rental
We have vacationed at Crystal Beach all of our lives. We've owned a cabin and also rented numerous homes. This cabin is ideal for a large group of friends and/or families. Not only is it beautiful, but it is clean and has everything you could need while enjoying the beach. The owners are quick to respond to any questions or need. We had an amazing time and the canal with all of the wildlife is perfect for kids to enjoy. We will rent this home again!

Love our stay here.....
The house was very clean and uncluttered. Plenty of space in the kitchen for our food items. I would suggest guests bring a table/chairs if you have more than 6-8 guests. The bar in the kitchen is all the seating, but an extra table solves that issue. Nice, short walk to the beach.
The turtle watching was an extra treat!

Christmas Family Celebration
The property was was a nice getaway for my family to relax during the holidays. We really enjoyed my our stay and the house was large enough to accommodate us all. I would revisit in the future. The only feedback i have is maybe adding blinds or thin curtains on the bedroom doors. Other than that process was very simple

Beautiful house / deck close to beach
The house is beautiful. We loved the deck area. Kitchen is good sized for cooking and hanging out. Only gave 4 stars on cleanliness because the couch cushions and bar stool cushions were stained. Overall good house would rent again.

Elegant Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay here as a group of 10! The owners were very communicative and accommodating to our needs. There are a ton of turtles out front that are fun to watch. Quiet street. Just a short walk to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Thank you to The Griffiths for a great stay.

We enjoyed our stay, there was some cleaning that seemed to have been over looked in the bunk room and up stairs bathroom but other than that everything was great! The balcony had plenty of seating to relax in the evenings, and quick walk to the beach!

Great Memorial Weekend
Perfect property for our two families and adult kids. The rest of our group were able to rent the house next door. Nice to have towels and linens provided so we didn't have to pack those along. Nicely stocked with everything we needed to cook. The ice maker upstairs was a game changer and a first that Ive run into in our yearly beach cabin rentals on Crystal Beach. Would definitely rent again.
