We're so glad you had a great stay! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope you'll think of us for your next beach trip.
The cabin was in excellent condition and is very well equipped with every thing from kids games to grills, dishes, pots, pans, spices and an added bonus of two large refrigerator freezers which was a huge bonuses. Three of the four bedrooms had king size beds and fourth had two queen size beds. Every room had its own full bathrooms and each room had very large walk in closets. The ground floor had a spacious bar with several stools to sit on. The upper porch had 8 captains chairs to lounge in. There are so many great things about this cabin there are two many to mention. Either my parents, deceased now, or I have rented cabins on Crystal beach for over 65 years. This cabin, by a large margin is the best I’ve ever rented. I’m envious it’s not mine. If I built my own it would be just like this one. Thanks to my host for making this the best vacation my family has ever had at Crystal Beach.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re thrilled the beach house was perfect for your family Christmas and that you enjoyed the space, the kitchen, and the short walk to the beach. We’re especially glad the Christmas tree made your stay extra special. We’d love to host you and your family again!
This home is better than advertised, VERY spacious for our family of 7! Tons of outdoor toys, games and beach supplies - basically everything you could ever need to have a great time! Kitchen is fully stocked of all kinds of cookware, having the two refrigerators was a genius idea, we designated one for food and the other for drinks. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and cozy. It’s a very close walk to the beach if desired but we rented golf carts to make lugging all our supplies down to the beach easier. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

It sounds like you made the most of the space and amenities, and we ’re happy the location and beach access were convenient for your group. We'd love to welcome you back anytime.
We went for family weekend to celebrate all our September birthdays. Very nice house with great layout of bedrooms and kitchen/living. It fit our family of 12 nicely. Close to the beach within walking distance even though we carried ATV to haul tent, chairs etc to beach. Also had plenty extra chairs and beach games for use which we took advantage of. Check in and check out was very easy. Host Chrissy was very helpful. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad your family had a wonderful time celebrating your September birthdays — what a special way to spend the weekend! It’s great to hear the home worked well for your large group. You were wonderful guests, and we'd love to host you again anytime!
Very nice home! Our 6 adults and four kids had plenty of room to enjoy each other and not feel cramped. The layout and location of the bedrooms provide each couple their own time alone destination. The house, kitchen and garage had every amenity we need from inside to outside games, beach supplies, grilling equipment and every kitchen utensils we need. Chrissy and Mark were great hosts. Response time to text or email was timely, respectful and alway helpful. I look forward to staying here again!!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad your group had plenty of space and enjoyed all the amenities. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to have you stay with us again!
We had an amazing time at this property, it is a very short walk to the walk on or golf cart cart access and it didn't take long to find a spot. If you really want drive on full vehicle access it's just up the street. All the bedrooms were spacious with great beds and none of them were twins! Beds were actually thick with support too! Great kitchen area for cooking for a group, and a living room dining room area you can easily hang out together or in two groups.The garage is well stocked with outdoor toys, games, chairs, and even a cart that doesn't just stop when it encounters sand!We are a pretty easy going group but this beach house exceeded expectations. Hosts were responsive when we had questions and everything went smooth! Highly recommend this property :)

This house was AMAZING!! It fit our family of 10 perfectly. It was clean, close to the beach, and had all of the "essentials" so when we arrived we didn't have to stress off the bat. We loved all the activities to do at the house and appreciated all of the beach equipment. The check in process was so easy and our host Chrissy is so nice. She gave us recommendations on places to go/see that were kid friendly which we really appreciated. Overall, we would come here again!!!
