October Beach Weekend

We loved our stay at this house! It had a great layout with two bunk areas, and four great bedrooms too on the 2nd floor. The bathrooms were large enough for the group and both bathrooms upstairs have a tub and shower which is helpful and dual sinks. The living room area was wonderful as we were able to all be together in the kitchen / dining / living room and we could send the kids upstairs to watch TV in the loft bunk area if needed. The kitchen is stocked so well and we had everything we needed. There were SO many appliances and the coffee maker was large enough to handle our crowd! The kids loved the hammocks and we loved having the solo stove to be able to have a beach ‘bonfire’. The only downside if is you do rent a golf cart, you can’t get it onto the beach without going on the highway which isn’t allowed by most of the rental companies. We ended up mainly using it to haul stuff to the stairs and walked it over the stairs over dunes and helping older people get closer to the beach, which was all we really needed it for. Highly recommend this house for larger groups! And the owner was very responsive and was great with any questions we had.

Wonderful Getaway for a Birthday

The house was huge and more than accommodating for our party of 10. We needed a house with an elevator for my husband’s grandparents and this one was perfect and made getting around for them easy. We all appreciated having king size beds to ourselves with a bathroom attached. The beach was very close and the house was more than accommodating with all the beach gear provided for use. The kitchen/dinning room and living room were large enough for birthday dinner and cake as well as present time. Having two sets of washers and dryers was also very helpful. Shelly was very kind and responded quickly to any concern or questions I had. If we travel back to Crystal Beach with another large party we will definitely consider staying here again.

Family Getaway

Crystal Cabana was a beautiful home. Our party of 17 ranged from age 46 to six weeks old and everyone had plenty of room to enjoy our home away from home. The walk to the beach was an easy stroll, but we had fun using the golf carts we had rented as well. This home provided many beach toys and games for all ages!! No one ever got tired of what was provided!! Shelly was quick and attentive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this home for large family gatherings.

Crystal Cabana is awesome

We have a large family (21 ppl) and one person who is wheelchair dependent. so finding a property that can accomodate the size of our family with WC acess are hard to find. Crystal Cabana lives up to its billing. its beautiful inside and out. really well stocked w everything you could need. not right on the beach but a 2 min walk away. Shelly the owner was responsive and the communication was prompt. would highly recommend this property and we'll definitely stay again when we come back to Crystal Beach

Fabulous

We had a girls family extended weekend and it was fabulous! The house the big and beautiful! I asked all family members about their sleep and all said they slept well in comfortable beds! The elevator was a must for our group. The elevator is touchy. You absolutely have to be gentle and keep a extra long screwdriver on hand, for emergency manual openings from the ground floor. But the elevator was maintenance by a very nice service tech and after that it worked fine. The kitchen could stand for more kitchen pots pans, measuring tools for cooking. Other than that the house was very clean and new. We loved the house, the easy walk to the beach. The hammocks are so relaxing. We will rent again!! We recommend!

Wonderful Location and House

We came to celebrate a big birthday for my Dad. He needed the elevator because he can't do the stairs and it worked out great. The house location is great. Shelly's communication is outstanding. The property itself has tons of bonus items - lots of plates, glasses, silverware, all of the kitchen stuff you need. There are two grills outside and an outdoor shower to wash off after walking back from the beach. The rooms are comfortable - there are TONS of towels. All in all HIGHLY recommend.

The house is beautiful and sufficient for all needs! Shelly was attentive and most accommodating!

The house had EVERYTHING we needed. There was enough space for my family not to crowd one another. Every age group had their own space. Once it was time for us all to come together there was still plenty of space, even if it rained majority of our trip. Shelly is amazing! She answered all questions and concerns in a timely manner. She was attentive, accommodating, and kind. The elevator was a bit tricky, and my only wish is to have a layout view of the house on the site. Actually that request was for my more "seasoned" guests as they were not too happy with going upstairs and wished to have another bedroom on the main floor, yet they made due😊. Anything outside of those small concerns, this house gets 5 stars. It was clean, the decor was simplistic and provided just enough to give a special home feel. Thank you Shelly, you provided the perfect home for a much needed family getaway💛
