We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay! The condo had everything we needed for comfort, and the beach did not disappoint! It was lovely to be able to watch the waves from our balcony day and night and to just walk out our door and be on the beach in just a couple of minutes!Hoping to come back someday.
The property is old, but well maintained and well appointed. I like that it is wide and only three floors high so the beach is not crowded. Our unit also came with chair service which made it even more affordable.
Great view and great location. Very friendly host.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your week at Crystal Sands 209A. It was a pleasure to host you, and we would love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway in the future!
While the place itself is somewhat dated with old TVs, slow WiFi, and old tables and furniture, the entire place was clean and tidy with a great location for a comfortable stay. No issues and was great for a relaxing vacation. Loved the view from the room and the beach access.
Perfect place for my wife and me to vacation. Condo had everything we needed along with amazing views and location. Beautiful beach and the chairs and umbrella were a bonus.
My sister and I stayed here for her birthday, it was perfect! Great communication with management, very clean unit, perfect location! It may be a bit tight for more than 2 or 3 people but it was perfect for us! Would absolutely stay again!

Thank you, Kristyn. We'd love to host you again and to know what we can do differently to earn that 5 star!
Condo needs some deep cleaning. Finger prints on doors and walls. Maybe some touch up paint. Light under microwave out. Some outlets don’t work.Positives…comfy bed, great location
