Perfect family getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at Crystal Beach. The house was clean and had everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The location was great and had a beautiful view of the ocean from the upstairs deck. The downstairs area was a nice addition with an extra refrigerator and amazing bar area. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway

We enjoyed the property and communication was great and fast. Renting the golf cart provided easy access to the beach. There was plenty of space for the five of us to choose our own bed, the bar was great downstairs as we hung out and grilled. The kitchen and living room made for a great space to hangout, cook, watch sports and even for a few card games on the dining table.

Family vacation

Took my family for a short vacation, house was very nice had a lot of mosquitoes but went shortly after hurricane so possibly the reason for increased mosquitoes due to a lot of water. Only issues were outside facilities were not really useful due to the mosquitoes but I don’t feel this was a fault of the owners. Just be prepared if traveling to bring spray or something. Overall it was a very nice property and the area is beautiful

Nice get away, peaceful

Our family enjoyed the long weekend. The home was great for our dog to run and be free outside due to the secluded area.we were a short ride by our golf cart to the beach. Plenty of parking and well stocked home. The only minor critique was there were ants in one of the beds and our kids had to pile into one room, and only one bedroom tv worked. Mosquitoes were plentiful but bug spray helped-no fault of owner just nature! Overall we had a great time and would have no issue giving a recommendation to stay here…..just bring plenty of bug spray!

Family Graduation Beach Getaway

Returning to this property, we enjoyed the upgrades. The fire pit and hottub were nice additions. The 3rd bedroom turned into a bunk room was nice to sleep more kids. Only major issues we had were secondary toilet handle was broken and hottub was full of sand and bugs. There was an emergency with someone getting hurt the night before checkout and was unable to get in quick contact with homeowner to communicate a late checkout.

Great house with amazing downstairs hangout!

We recently stayed at this beach house and encountered some cleanliness issues upon arrival, which was disappointing. However, the host was very responsive and took immediate action to address the problem. They arranged for a thorough cleaning and ensured that we were well taken care of for the rest of our stay. The house itself was lovely, well-located, and had all the amenities we needed. Despite the initial challenges, the host's proactive approach made a significant difference. We appreciated their efforts to resolve the situation and would stay here again.

Highly Recommend This Beautiful Home

My family stayed here for 4 days and this home is beautiful and very very well stocked for all your needs. The house is spacious and open and the bedrooms were well thought out to fit our family. The kitchen had everthing you needed and more! The front and back decks well equipped with alot of seating. Never left a review about the air conditioning but this house is in Texas and so very hot and the air conditioner kept rhe house perfectly cool. The lower level bar area was a great place for our family to hang out and a great feature was the extra fridge in the bar that we used for our extra food and drinks. The hot tub and fire pit are great amenities to be able to have. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the golf cart rental as it was wayyyy cheeper than any of the places in the area to rent. And was an easy ride to the beach. The hosts were very quick to respond to any of our needs and questions. We would absolutely stay at this property again in the future!!

Many problems

Overall we had a great experience. But there were many problems. The k-cup side of the coffee pot didn’t work. The bar-b-que pit was filthy and unable to use. The games showed in the picture were mostly empty boxes. The ceiling fans in the two bunk rooms didn’t work. And they hung over the top bunks. The tv remote had no batteries. Animal poop on the back stairs appeared to have been there awhile. All this said we still had a great time.

Such a great family getaway rental!

We took a gamble on this property because it was new and did not have any reviews and I am glad we did! The property was exactly as shown in the pictures and very clean. The layout was great and perfect for enjoying with a large family group. The downstairs area was awesome and so breezy which is good for the hot weather we get during summer. The kitchen had everything you could need and more. There was even a griddle and I think I even saw an air fryer! We did need to bring our own seasonings and oil but that was stated in the description so it was fine. Tons of outside seating options. Both decks upstairs had beautiful views. Rooms were well equipped. Location was nice, secluded a little bit but we enjoyed that. The beach was right across the street but you will need to go a few miles down the highway for public beach access. We rented the golf cart and it was so nice to cruise around the neighborhood. The BIG store is close by as well as a gas station. We really loved this property! Such a great place for a large family.
