Looking for an intimate setting to celebrate an anniversary, birthday, retreat or wedding and would like to have additional day guests? If you intend to host day visitors and anticipate surpassing the MAX SLEEPING occupancy of the home at any given time, categorizing your gathering as an "LARGE GATHERING," you must adhere to LARGE GATHERING OBLIGATIONS:

Perfect Family House
We recently stayed at this house with my sister and her family and it was perfect for all of us! The room set up is great for the kids, we were able to separate the teenagers from the younger kids - the mezannine level was almost like the teens had their own house and we didn't have to hear them up at all hours of the night. The location and views were amazing and the rental company was very responsive and checked in with us to see if we needed anything. Would definitely rent this house again!!

Everything we hoped for and more!
This home was truly perfect in every way. Beautifully decorated, clean, had absolutely everything you could need in the kitchen. Nothing beats the view from the front door. There was plenty of space! The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and throw blankets if needed. We absolutely will be renting this home again! We have rented many homes and nothing compares to this one. The management team were so friendly. Though we didn’t need anything, they checked in to ensure everything was great and we didn’t need anything.

Great views and beach access.
This is our second stay at 1Tip Sea Time. The cottage was very clean. Large kitchen is well stocked. Soft, high thread count bed linens. Plenty of towels. Large balcony with great beach views. Easy beach access. Conveniently lose to The Big Store. Ocean Properties does a great job managing their rentals. Allowed to bring our pets is a bonus. Bedrooms have ample space for a large dog crate.

Labor Day weekend fun!!
Rented property for Labor Day weekend. We rent at least 5 beaches houses a year in Crystal Beach and this one definitely toward the top of list. We had 16 guest and this house worked out perfectly with size and beds. One room with 4 beds is on the 2nd floor mesadeine deck. The other 3 rooms were one top floor. The only Cons I would is the water pressure here is horrible. So much so that it was hard to even shower. The other one would be that this property is sandwiched right between two other houses within an arm reach. The house to the east actually has a connecting walkway to this house on the top floor which is cool if you had a lot of people and rented both houses. However, if you dont have both its kind of weird when hanging out on the mesadeine deck you can almost clearly hear your neighbors talking and you are literally like 20' from them.

CRYSTAL BEACH
Great property! Unobstructed view of the beach, easy access. If you have two families considering vacationing together, the house next door has a connecting deck on the 3rd level which would be fantastic. Great bar area on the second level and shaded seating area. We used Texas Custom Carts for golf cart rental and would recommend them. The main living area is on the 3rd level and has two flights of stairs to negotiate if you have older family members as we did. We only had 10 family members stay there and were very comfortable, with room to spare.

Outstanding cottage & views.
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at 1 TipSea Time. The cottage was spotless, soft bed linens and plenty of bath towels. Comfortable beds. The kitchen was very well stocked and organized. We loved the open floor plan. Ocean views excellent and unobstructed from family-kitchen area, master and secondary bedrooms. Morning coffee on the deck, watching the sunrise, listening to the surf. Bonus apartment on the first level enjoys the same beach views and attention to detail. Located close to the Big Store and JB’s fresh seafood. Great beach combing. Found some beautiful shells for our collection. Our dog loved the front door beach access and frequent walks. We started booking cottages on Crystal Beach, 4 years ago. We will not hesitate to request this cottage again. Best Regards, Sharon & Don

Awesome Accomodations
This house has great accommodations for a large group. The house is very clean, spacious, comfortable and the ocean view is amazing. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals minus the food and spices. We traveled with 4 big trucks and two boats and there is plenty of parking which is a huge plus for my group.

Staying TipSea was a blast!
Had a family trip for the holiday wknd, this is really a great house! The ocean views from the decks are excellent and the house is so well appointed! Both kitchens are stocked really well with any pot or pan or dish you could ever need. The ground floor has parking, the grill, and the outdoor shower. The second floor (we nick-named the "party deck") has the outdoor bar, extra kitchen (with it's own fridge), bathroom and bunk room. Top floor has open concept main living/kitchen, three bedrooms and 2 baths plus laundry room. We only had 5 this trip, but I would rent again even with a much larger group. Having 2 fridges was so nice, one on top floor with all the food and one on the party deck for beer/wine/mixed drinks/soft drinks/water. The party deck was soo much fun, we played washers while having margaritas every night! We watched the ocean by day and and also got to see the nightly fireworks that were up and down the beach! So much fun! If you rent this property on a busy wknd, make sure to get up early and stage a vehicle down at the beach to reserve a spot in front of the house. The beach directly in front of the house filled up pretty much by 9am, so the first day we had to drive down the beach to get a spot and we were out of sight of the house. The next day we saved a spot at 730am by parking our truck down there and setting up our beach chairs, so we could walk back and forth between the beach and house.
