About this property
Elmwood Coast&Hearth Retreat- Large Deck + Bar + Firepit 5 min walk to the beach
Welcome to Elmwood Beach House, your private Crystal Beach retreat just a 5-minute stroll from Bay Beach! Perfect for families, couples, or groups, Elmwood combines a bright, coastal-inspired interior with a massive backyard deck designed for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories.
The Space
Step into a freshly updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with a bright, open layout and relaxed beach-town vibe.
• Living Room: Comfortable sectional sofa, smart TV, and games for cozy nights in.
• Dining & Kitchen: Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and a dining table large enough for everyone to gather around.
• Bedrooms: Thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind – cozy bedding, soft linens, and storage space for extended stays.
• Bathroom: Fresh and clean with shower/tub combo, stocked with starter toiletries and fluffy towels.
Outdoor Oasis
The highlight of Elmwood is the 24’ x 20’ backyard deck — perfect for lounging after a day at the beach.

Quiet and peaceful street. It’s a one way street so very little car traffic, a straight shot to the beach and the bars. the people living in crystal beach are very friendly and always say hello.

Our cottage has a large side yard which makes it more private and gives lots of extra space to play outdoor games and relax, coupled with the large deck makes the outdoor space really great.
