Wow, I thought you had a great stay and the text of your review seems to say that as well. It appears that the overall "3" rating you left was a mistake?
We enjoyed our stay here. The place was so adorable and they provided everything we needed. There are two rooms on the main floor and a loft bedroom with two twin beds each with a trundle bed underneath. The couch has a pull out bed inside it.

Thanks so much for the great review! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay!
House was exactly as shown in the pictures, plenty of bed choices for our 3 girls, two bathrooms was really convenient! Very close access to the beach as described. The outdoor shower and sandal cleaning setup was helpful too. Fully functional kitchen was utilized for our 3 night stay. The host was on top of communications and check in / out was painless. Thank you for helping our summer vacation be a great success!

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family and I look forward to hosting you in the future.
The house was very nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay. The outdoor shower is nice coming back from the beach along with the outside chairs under the house. The beach is a short walk away and was not crowded at all while we were there. There are plenty of games to play and lots of charging stations in the house. The house is on stilts as you can see, but know the house does sway at times. The house helped make our beach trip a great one.
The beach was an easy 2 minute walk away and the pool/playground area was 1 house away. It is a very nice quiet neighborhood. The place was very clean and still smelled new. I loved the coffee bar and the shampoo dispensers in the bathrooms. We had plenty of room for everyone. (3 adults and 2 kids) The only downside is that both bathrooms are only accessible through the bedrooms. It was not a problem for us but could be if you were staying with unrelated friends. I would highly recommend staying here. We would love to come back someday.
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re considering Tranquility By The Sea for your getaway. I’ve always had a love for travel and know firsthand how refreshing it is to step away from the busy pace of life and simply breathe.
Hosting this home is more than just offering a place to stay—it’s about creating a peaceful escape where you can truly relax, reconnect with the people you care about, and enjoy the beauty of the coast. Every detail in the home was thoughtfully chosen with your comfort in mind, and my hope is that your time here feels restful, easy, and full of good memories.
Thank you for letting me be a small part of your vacation—I hope you love it here as much as I do!
Why they chose this property
I chose this spot because it offers the best of both worlds. It’s just a short walk to the beach, but in a quiet and peaceful area that feels like a true escape. I love that it’s close enough to all the fun and activities in Crystal Beach—restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are just 8 miles away—but far enough removed to offer a little more privacy, fewer crowds, and a slower pace. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the coast.
What makes this property unique
I chose Tranquility By The Sea because it truly offers the best of both worlds. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful—perfect for relaxing—but still close enough to all the fun of Crystal Beach when you’re ready to explore. You can walk to the beach in just a few minutes, and the community pool, playground, fire pit, and observation deck are literally just one house away.
What really makes this home special, though, is how it’s set up for you to enjoy every part of your stay. Whether you're sipping coffee with ocean views from the upper deck, grilling dinner while the kids play outside, or gathered around a board game at night, we’ve tried to think of all the little touches that make time away feel easy and refreshing.
I designed this space with families in mind—comfortable, spacious, and full of thoughtful details—so you can focus on making memories and soaking in the slow, breezy pace of life at the beach.
