Wonderful Mother's Day Vaca
The house is exactly as it is in photos and was beautiful. Mother nature was out in full force (I am talking about the mosquitos) but with a little OFF it was tolerable. Would go back to this house again.

This was our first time visiting Crystal Beach, and this house made it an Amazing trip! Thank you for all the extras in this newly built beach home! Dish tabs, paper towels, beach towels, washer, dryer, blow dryer, games, patio furniture, labels on everything, alllll the coffee choices, 2 coffee makers, you read that correctly……2 different coffee makers, q tips, tooth brushes, spices, cooking oil, dish sponges, nice kitchen everything, trash bags, extra blankets, fancy linens, makeup removers, makeup cloths, shampoo, conditioner, soap, beach chairs and umbrellas, and 2 sets of keys! Is there a button to give them 10 stars? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They thought of every detail you could need! Stay here! Great choice period, if you are trying to decide and compare to others!

Great times!
We had a wonderful weekend in Crystal beach made all the easier by the amenities of this house. We take a family vacation every year with ten people or more and it’s always surprising when there are not items in the house that can accommodate everyone. Not this place!! There are multiple kitchen appliances, brilliant for feeding a large family and a stocked coffee drawer. My favorite things include: A great selection of pans, utensils, spices, and other needs for cooking. Items needed for cleaning. Fun items to entertain small children. Well thought out beach needs like towels and chairs. Enough beds for the entire family including soft bedding and pillows. Open space and available seating for everyone including the bar area outside and on the balcony. Overall lovely house with clean lines minimal clutter. We would absolutely love to stay again. Side note: Not poorly reflected on the house but would like to share we rented a golf cart which was perfect for the distance however the entrance to Lafitte’s Landing to the beach has thick sand. We got stuck multiple times in need of a push from the beach to the housing area. Important to know if you’re traveling with elderly.
