Great place

Great location and house, mornings on the porch were our favorite. Had some struggles communicating through VACASA but ultimately, everything worked out. I left my pillow and Gina was a superstar and got it mailed back to me.

Lovely house just a short distance from the beach!

The house was beautiful and the location was great. Close to The Big Store and local restaurants and only a short walk to the beach. We loved the amenities available to us as well. Downside was that the ice machine in the fridge had a huge hole in the bottom, so we kept having to buy bags of ice to keep in there for our drinks. The mattresses were also super uncomfortable for us, but if you like firm mattresses, you should be okay. All in all, we had such a fun visit and would definitely book this home again!

Family Vacation Year 3

This is our third year for our family vacation. Out of the 3 houses that we have stayed in, the Light House was our favorite. Close to the beach, but we still rented a golf cart and the grandkids loved that. The kitchen was large and we had fun cooking in it. The dishwasher worked very well and the stove also. The room with the bunk beds were perfect for our young grandchildren. Gave them their own bed and place. The tv choices were nice to have. The balcony was large and enjoyable. The house was close enough to the main highway on the Island in which had easy access to The Big Store! If we decide to come back here, we would absolutely try to get this house again. Our vacation was absolutely enjoyable at Chrystal Beach.

Dirty House

The house was beautiful and a short distance to the beach. However it was so filthy. The microwave is full of mold, the pans are dirty and crusted. The out door furniture is rusted and not able to be used. The toilets stop up constantly. We had to clean the entire house upon our arrival.

Ideal beach getaway

I rented this home for a relaxing birthday escape away from the city. This property delivered. The home is spacious with an open floor concept and lots of natural light. Walking distance from the beach, definitely gives an off the beaten path type of feel. The home is perfectly nestled in what seems like its own little enclave. Property comes equipped with all of you basics, towels, utensils, etc. I recommend bringing your own hygiene and culinary necessities. The location is close to local stores like family dollar and also a few restaurants . Perfectly located. Although the homes were close, the neighbors were friendly. They weren’t too noise sensitive or overly curious. Everyone did their own thing with no encroachment, grievance or interruption. We were awake pretty late into the night and so were the neighbors. The house rules were a bit stringent which took away from that vacation feel a bit but overall I recommend this home to anyone looking for that perfect beach escape. A little more attention could be given when it comes to the cleaning of the home also. We we a group of about 6 or so and everyone was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

This beach house is very clean, close to the beach and the house is stocked with all you need to make your stay memorable, in fact it is a home away from home.
