Thank you for coming! We really work hard for the 5 star stays, if there is anything we could have done to earn that 5th star, please let me know. I would love the opportunity to fix whatever it may have been.
Great location and layout. We really appreciated the Christmas decorations since we stayed over the holiday.

We just did some new decorations inside, new window shades and matching comforters! Some new deck patio furniture coming soon as well! Can’t wait for you all to come back!
Perfect location with beach access and close to the stores/restaurants. Great house layout for a big group and really enjoyed the huge porch and large open space underneath.

Our kids LOVE it here! We are so glad you all came!!
Absolutely perfect. Host was in contact to check on our ability to get access to the property. House is perfect fornanlarge family, and the location is absolutely perfect. Recent remodel, so not a run of the mill STR. Sunrise is unobstructed and worth the early wakeup. 5/5 experience
We had an absolute blast at this place!!! We will book here again!! The beach house was right on the water, the host was super nice, and this was perfect for our family vacay! Can’t wait for next summer to come back here again!!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at our home!
We loved this property! We brought our 4, 3, and 18month old kids. The deck was awesome, the fans in each room were great, and the kitchen was well stocked! We hope to stay again next year! Highly recommend for families!

About the host
Hosted by Mark Maniha
Why they chose this property
Our original beach house was destroyed by Hurricane Ike when our daughter was just 2 years old. We spent Memorial weekend 2008 there, and as we were leaving she waved to it and said, 'Bye bye water house.' Thirteen days later the house was gone with most of the peninsula. Rebuilding was a labor of love and in spring of 2012 we spent our first weekend in the 'Water House' on the beach we love.
What makes this property unique
We love Crystal Beach, the atmosphere is relaxed, and there is usually not a ton of traffic. We have full access to the beach, campfires, fishing and shell searching. We love to park on the beach to easily transport coolers and such, while still having easy access to our house. I am always able to keep an eye on the rest of the family at the house, while playing on the beach. Our kiddos love to go to the water slides just down the street, they will spend hours running up and sliding down! Our children and family LOVE the Water House!
