Very happy with the place, conveniently located to Beaches, Breweries, & Restaurant's. Close to Tarpon Springs and also Dunedin.Quiet Neiborhood, Will definitely want to go back!
I needed a vacation getaway and Rebecca’s adorable bungalow delivered. It was just as described on the site with the exception of key lock access and not a code as listed. Not that it mattered. Both Rebecca and Jeff were extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable during my stay. Jeff even offered the use of his phone charger when I accidentally left mine at home.
Overall, I would happily stay there again. If just to sit on the pier and watch the beautiful sunsets. 🌅
The VRBO that I stayed in was clean and just the right size for one person. Very quiet and peaceful. I was visiting friends in Dunedin and it was just a short trip to get to their home. But it was wonderful to just enjoy sitting by the pier and watching the sunset too. I would suggest this to any single person that needed a short time away from the maddening crowd. :-)
Enjoyed stay immensely. Apartment was perfect for what I like to do: see sunsets over gulf (one short block away), ride bicycle on nearby Pinellas Trail (hosts provided me a very good bicycle), meet friends staying nearby, eat at excellent restaurants (casa ludovico and ozona grill, to name two nearby). Hosts were lovely, responsive, very kind, and interesting. Apartment is a bit small and not a place I would spend indoors for very long but I was out most of the time anyway. One last item, kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. making homecooking easy. Great stay.
The rental is exactly as presented. It has its own secluded entrance with its own driveway. It is definitely a nice hideaway for a couple, with full kitchen and comfortable furniture and bed. There is a park along the beach footsteps away. Bicycles and kayak are available from the owner. There is an old railroad line that was converted into a 40 mile bike path within two blocks that parallels the coast and can be used to visit multiple stores, bars, and brewpubs, all within 1&1/2 miles. Beautiful sunsets. Only negative for the beach is there is very little sandy area and the gulf becomes mud before it is deep enough to swim. However, the spacious park with its large grass area more than compensates. You can set up your umbrella on grass and enjoy the sun and sunset.
Enjoyed a nice couple of days and found the bungalow just right for one person. Walked along the water daily, borrowed a bike and rode along the Pinellas Trail, very impressed with the community gathering for the spectacular sunset.
Kitty corner to beachfront park provided the opportunity to watch fantastic sunsets. The surrounding neighborhoods were very walkable. Grocery, liquor store, bank, and post office were within 6 blocks.
Our hosts were very quick in responding to our texts/questions and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Loved being able to walk the trail every morning and watching the sunset over the water at the nearby park. Was a good location to good food, golf courses, nearby beaches. Thanks so much for a very pleasant getaway.
I absolutely loved the time I spent in Crystal Beach, Palm Harbor. The bungalow was nicely appointed with a beach themed decor. It had everything I needed. The location was incredible. There was a beautiful park across the street and beyond that was Crystal Beach. The beach had a swimming beach, fishing pier, benches, and an incredible view of the sunset. Just a couple of blocks the other way was the Pinellas bike trail. This rental was close to restaurants and stores.
Jeff and Becky were wonderful and friendly hosts.
Unfortunately my stay was cut short due to the corona crisis and I had to return to WI. I hope to return to this slice of paradise again.
The rental was in a beautiful area that many describe as "old Florida". Water was within 3 minutes, and amenities all close by. The rental itself needs updated furniture and a thorough cleaning by a professional service. It was like a budget motel with a kitchenette.

So close to the Water and Bike Trail
What a great location! The bungalow is nicely appointed. Bed was comfortable with nice bedding. The kitchen had everything that I needed. The bungalow was nice and quiet, which is something that I was hoping for. Becky and her husband were very attentive. I could tell that they were interested in me enjoying my stay. I would recommend staying here. Very well priced for what you get.

Small But Cozy Winter Retreat
Wonderful winter hideaway for a single person or a couple. Might be a little tight for more people. But Crystal Beach park a block away made it perfect for me and my little dog Lily. I hated the day I had to head back to the cold north. I'll definitely give this place in this quaint community another thought should I be looking again for a winter home in the warm south.

I loved my stay at Crystal Beach and the bungalow was perfect! Thank you for the hospitality!
Crystal Beach is a lovely family oriented community that is super close to anything you could want to do. I loved the area! The park invites you for the most amazing sunsets; the bike path is very easily accessed; Dunedin is only a couple of miles away and there you will find Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island. The natives are so friendly and helpful. The visitors equally so. Everyone is so active and beautiful. There are plenty of places to choose to eat, drink and relax. Publix is within a minute from Crystal Beach. I highly recommend the area as a perfect getaway for yourself, as a couple, or as a family!

Fantastic, quaint apartment. Can't beat the location!!
While the apartment is modest in size, it is perfect for 2 people!. Being one block from the park with sprawling Live Oaks, the Crystal Beach Pier, and the Pinellas Trail, we spent more time outside than in the apartment. The neighborhood is such a small, close knit community with sidewalks that are so welcoming. We enjoyed wonderful local food and even rode bikes to the Wall Springs Park based on the owner's suggestions and loved it. The apartment had everything we needed and the owners were extremely accommodating. We loved staying there and will stay again for sure when we are back next year!

Hi Becky & Jeff
I would like to thank you for a wonderful 9 week stay with you during Dec/Jan 2018, the apartment was as described but the area was so much better, it's beautiful and we were so blessed to be able to share it with you. Thanks for lending the bikes to us that really improved our holiday and also kept us fit.
I would recommend this accommodation to anyone perfect location, great walks, completely safe and great hosts I hope we will be able to visit again.
Thank You

Surprisingly roomy bungalow decorated Florida style in a beautiful friendly neighborhood.
Charming rental in Crystal beach just across the street from the park and the beach. Safe and friendly neighborhood where folks walk, bike, golf carts galore and dog friendly to boot! You don't need to bring a thing, everything is supplied for you, functional full size kitchen and supplies, bath with shower, living room with fold out couch bed, sitting area, and small bedroom with armoire. Light seaside colors and high ceilings, and ceiling fans, private side entrance and parking. Lots of birds tall trees and I saw a few tortoises strolling too. Nice and private and quiet. Exactly what I needed for my vacation. Close proximity to anything you'd like to do and close to Publix market should you need anything. Jeff and Rebecca were so helpful when I was there! I will rent from them again. 5 stars !

Peaceful and only steps away from great views of some beautiful sunsets!
Loved my stay. Jeff and Rebecca were more than accommodating. Being only one block from the beach made for great evening walks to see the beautiful sunsets. And the location was perfect for me being that it is surrounded by some of the top courses to play on Florida including copper head at the innisbrook Golf Resort.
