Thanksgiving Family Getaway

Absolutely the best stay! We have stayed at many beach uses on the island and this by far was one of our favorites! So many accommodations you literally didnt have to bring anything! Super close to the beach and all stores, places to eat. The host was amazing to deal with. It made our time of spending Thanksgiving with family so enjoyable will definitely be booking again!

Great house at Crystal Beach

This house is awesome! It has everything you could need and it’s a great location. In the morning we drank our coffee no the front deck and after a day on the beach we enjoyed the evening under the house with games, grill and a bar. Check in and check out were super simple as well. We will definitely be back!

Birthday trip

This is a wonderful property. We had four couples for the weekend celebrating two birthdays. The house was plenty big for everyone to spread out, and everything was immaculate. The games outside were a great addition for when it was too hot to be on the beach. The host checked in by email and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely book this place again!

Amazingly beautiful

First off the house itself was gorgeous inside and out. The location is perfect with in walking distance to the beach, nice views. We enjoyed our stay from beginning to end. The host was very responsive and quick to answer any and all questions we had. Would definitely recommend. My son came home from the Air Force and loved this place.I’d say a 9/10 .

Everything was amazing!!

The cabin was amazing, clean, beautiful, lots of games in the garage for kids and adults to enjoy. Beautiful outdoor furniture to sit and watch the ocean!! We enjoyed our stay so much, we will definitely book this cabin again. The Host Shiloh was amazing- she worked very hard for us to be able to make the trip, even when Beryl tried to change our plans.

All the things….

Coast Bound and Down have thought of all the details. They help you pack lighter by having chairs, wagon, tent, sand toys, coolers, grills and games to name a few! Not to mention super comfy pillows and beds (the queen bunk room is a must for the kiddos) were great after an evening in the hot tub while enjoying the peaceful bottom area. We didn’t want for a thing during our stay. We can’t wait to go back!

Such an amazing trip!!

The beach house was BEAUTIFUL with so many amenities! They had so many things to use in the kitchen if needed, so many outside items to play/use(although our only disappointment was not finding the wood burning pit there anymore, but a gas one was provided with extra propane thankfully because it was empty.), and such an easy walk to the beach! We appreciated the beach chairs provided, and used every bit of the space while there! Morning coffee and reading on the deck was a joy. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

Beautiful Memories

The beach house was perfect. Spacious for 6 adults & 5 children 2-17! The owners have thought of & provided everything you need! We made a lot of food & the spacious frig was fantastic & held everything. The downstairs frig made easy acess for beach drinks. Everyone loved the hot tub & game area. Beds were extremely comfy & beautifully furnished. Washer & dryer was handy & had all the detergents too. This is one of the very best rentals we have experienced. We walked 2 minutes to the beach a lot! Book it you will love it!

Overall great stay. Would provide more bath towels. But the beach towels were nice and thick. Did not like sitting outside and smelling the sewer and noticed the red light was on. But the beach chairs and games you provide were appreciated. The floor could have been swept and mopped better and there was a 2 dirty plates in the cupboard but over all cleanliness was good. I would stay again.

Thank you Angie for your review and information. I passed on your suggestions and concerns to the cleaning service and will be sure that all is corrected moving forward. As for the septic, my apologies, I wish I would have known of the smell and that the light was on while you were there, I would have had it serviced right away! Fortunately it has been serviced since your stay. I’m glad y’all enjoyed the games and beach chairs came in handy, we look forward to hosting your group again.

Exceptional Beach Home

I cannot say enough good things about this rental. The owners have thought of anything and everything you could possibly need on your stay. The house is beautifully decorated with the most comfortable furniture. Even the outside furniture is over the top comfy! Everything looked and felt meticulously clean. Besides being just a short walk to the beach, there were plenty of outdoor games in the storage area to play after a long day at the beach. The Blackstone grill was clean and ready to go with all necessary utensils. This house can easily accommodate a large crowd and is perfect for kids. Easy check in/out. The best house I've rented by far...
