Excellent property and wonderful hosts. Loved how well equipped the house was and the beautiful view. Note: There are many shells on the beach wonderful for collecting, but can hurt the feet. Recommend bringing water shoes or sandals.

Absolutely wonderful views from the front deck with a gate to keep kids and dogs in. The house was very clean when we arrived. Great communication with the hosts even on the Easter holiday. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything you need. Grandkids appreciated the beach toys located under the house.This was a great visit for a family holiday. We really appreciated that it was pet friendly so we could bring our Goldendoodles. We hope to return next year.

Cathy & Eric were wonderful. Able to reach them any time. House was very comfortable. Do to fact there is no place to eat for 27 miles it would be nice to know that in advance along with a pot or two included in kitchen. All in all it was very nice.

Response from VrboOwner on Feb 20, 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words—we’re so glad you found the house comfortable. Just to clarify for future reference, the pots and pans are located in the drawers directly across from the stove. We’re sorry if that wasn’t clear during your stay. Also, while it can feel secluded (which many guests love!), there are actually several restaurants and stores about 6 miles east in Crystal Beach that offer convenient dining and shopping options. We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad you had a nice stay overall. We’d love to host you again!

Love that the beach is literally steps away and there’s not a large dune obstructing foot access or views. Makes it so nice that our grandchildren can easily run up to the house to eat, restroom or nap and not have to pack up and drive. The house is clean, tidy and has plenty of room.
