Wonderful house

My brothers, cousins, & I booked this house for a much needed family-get-away & it did not disappoint! I was nervous because I’ve never booked a vacation rental before, but it was so easy to set up through this app & the house itself was beautiful and as pictured/described. It’s not my first time staying in one of these houses on Bolivar peninsula — I think this house was my favorite so far. It was so cute & the perfect size for all 7 people.

Work

It was me and two co-workers staying here. It was a very nice place and would stay there again as long as it available. Everything was clean. The only issues I saw was the grass needed to be cut and some of the light bulbs where out. Other than that it was a nice place The location was great. Looking forward to going again.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY! Beware!!

My family and I stayed at this property from August 2024, and encountered several significant issues. Upon arrival, we immediately noticed that the listing was inaccurate as it did not include the two double beds that were advertised, forcing one of our guests to sleep on the couch. We then discovered dried dog feces in the master bedroom, underneath the bed, and found dead bugs in the drawers under the bunk beds, which deterred our children from using them to store their clothes throughout our stay. On the first night, when I came downstairs in the middle of the night, I turned on the kitchen lights and observed German roaches. The presence of roach spray and traps under the sink indicated that this was a known issue. As a result, we were uncomfortable storing our food in the cabinets or pantry for the duration of our stay. During our second night, we also noticed black mold on the ceiling, which raised serious health concerns and upon checkout, found bugs in the bunk beds as well. I raised these concerns the following day and requested a partial refund, but communication from the property management declined, and no action was taken because I did not "notify them during our stay." I am genuinely concerned for the well-being of future guests unless the mold and infestation issues are promptly addressed.

Great location, lovely property

Great location, just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. The property was very clean and looked like the pictures (which very rarely happens). Lots of amenities in the house and a great open layout for hanging out with family. Lovely views from the top and a great place to watch the sunrise. Highly recommend.

Labor Day at misty mermaid

My family stayed at the misty mermaid for Labor Day, and absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is perfectly stocked, and had plenty of games for our rainy days inside. We loved the cabin, and we were so glad to be able to bring our small pup along with us. The cabin was clean, and had plenty of room

Perfect Beach Getaway

If you are looking for a great experience in crystal beach, this is the place! This house has everything you need to relax and also entertain. We LOVED the deck area with the hammocks and spent every evening there. The house was clean, beautifully furnished, thoughtfully stocked and exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely be back here!!

Nice location close to the beach but swaying is too much

This property is very nice and clean but for us it was too tall. The house sways and can make you feel sea sick while sleeping or just standing in one spot. Also the check in time is too late and the check out time is too early in my opinion. I’ve stayed at several and 11am or 12pm is a more appropriate time. This house did not have any cleaning supplies or even salt so pack everything. The water pressure is very low in the showers as well. The great things about the house are the views and the hammocks on the 2 decks. A lot of stairs as all of the bedrooms are upstairs once you get to the entrance. Cute house. We made it work but not for us. Hope this helps.
