Amazing property with all the amenities.
This was by far our favorite place to stay at Crystal Beach. Perfect views, steps to the sand and water. Plenty of space and things to do for the whole family. Even with it being the coldest weekend of the year so far, this was the best place to be to keep us all entertained and spend quality time together.

Second time at this property!
This was our second stay at this home, and as my teenager said "it felt like coming home." They really have thought of everything you might need ... and have several thoughtful extras as well. The host is very responsive and quickly handled the small issues we encountered this time. This property is still a 5 out of 5 stars for us!

All the little things
We regularly stay in Crystal Beach multiple times a year. This is one of the best houses we have stayed at simply because of the attention to detail. We are very health conscious and for us, the little things like healthy cooking oils, Stevia for coffee, and clean toiletry products like shampoos and soaps were noticed and appreciated. The house itself is beautiful and very well decorated. The proximity to the beach is another plus. The kids (and the adults) all loved the game room and hot tub. One of our favorites and we will definitely stay there again.

Lovely and well-appointed home!
Highly recommend this lovely home. It has amazing views and is in the perfect spot for sunset. The hosts have thought of literally everything you could possibly need … this was probably the most well-appointed VRBO we have rented. The entire family felt comfortable and “at home” immediately. The host was easily reachable and incredibly nice and accommodating. The house is located on a busy part of the beach, so I would suggest accompanying kids as they walk down to the beach. (Some people were speeding to and from the beach, but usually slowed down if I walked out to the porch and gave them the “mom eye.” ) I would definitely rent this home again. 5 out of 5 stars!

Overall a real gem of a place and worth every penny.
Beachside Bliss was perfect for our family with unobstructed views of the ocean from the outdoor patio and the easy beach access. The interiors of the property are beautiful and well maintained. The house is new with lots of amenities, comfortable bedding, and the kitchen is very well stocked. There is loads of entertainment in the garage for kids and we really enjoyed the hot tub. The host was great to communicate with and the responses were quick. Already planning our next stay.
