Upstairs, the large, shaded front deck invites you to enjoy refreshing ocean breezes. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or an alfresco meal at the built-in picnic table. Inside, you'll find a bright, open-concept living area with beautiful beadboard ceilings. The fully stocked kitchen boasts glass-front cabinets, a spacious pantry, and an island with extra seating, making meal prep a social affair.

Perfect R&R Getaway

Much more than we expected! The house had everything you needed and more, very well stocked! A two minute walk to the beach, in a quiet neighborhood. Park on the beach, spend the day, and walk back if you need anything. The owners were in touch the entire time, making sure we enjoyed our stay.

Second year in a row at this lovely home. One row back from the water (though no water view). Easy peasy access to beach (less than 5 min walk with small kids). Great fire pit. All the beach toys/chairs/towels you could need. Across from the Big Store but far enough from drive on beach access that the car/truck traffic is minimized. Really love this spot.

Just stayed for a few days in late October. The weather was amazing and we had the beach almost to ourselves. The house was as advertised and a great place for our two dogs and 15 month old baby. The ocean view in the pictures is no longer there as a house has been built which was fairly disappointing. Also, a few more kitchen items like salt, pepper, foil, etc would have been really helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Spencer Milligan

Host profile image
Originally we are from a small town in south east Texas. Our family enjoys the beach and travel whenever we can get away. Honestly, we dont mind just sitting on our back back porch while the dogs and kiddo play with grill running and hopefully football the TV.

When we actually get to 'vacation' our preferred activity is SCUBA diving. We have been lucky enough to travel to some really unique places and spend time under the sea.

Hosting started for us as a secondary income source. Over time we have found that we really enjoy a hands on approach, and being a part of generating great memories for friends and family. This is something that continues to grow in our lives and we are enjoying all the goods and bags in the process.

Why they chose this property

We chose to host in this neighborhood actually because our family has a beach house a few miles up the road. It seemed great to also get a place that a few times a year we could try to sync schedules and actually vacation in a home we were using for hosting. Not to mention that I actually lived in Crystal Beach for a few years during college. So we are somewhat locals even though we now call Florida home.

What makes this property unique

Sadly not much. There are so many great properties that even though I feel we have done an excellent job outfitting our house for families so have so many others. So the difference makers is us. We really do work hard to make sure the guests have a great experience and we stay very involved through the whole stay ensuring that if needed, any service can be provided.
