Other things to note:

PET FRIENDLY: We love those little (and not so little) furry bundles of joy, but we limit them to two dogs per reservation. Please keep them off the beds and couches. They must be crated when left at the house alone. A $100 pet fee applies per each pet. Please add your dogs to the reservation (same place that you add your number of guests) and the fee will be added to your nightly rate. Additional fees may be charged after your stay if there is damage or excessive cleaning is required (such as mud on the couches or comforters).

NO SMOKING INSIDE: Please refrain from smoking inside the home! Any smoking evidence will result in a $500 fee for odor removal, duct cleaning, and furniture cleaning.

We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.

We do not offer refunds for weather, weather-related issues, or natural disasters. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. It is relatively inexpensive and protects you against unforeseen circumstances.

Any violation of these rules could result in you being asked to leave without a refund.

Note: The property has exterior cameras in use for your safety and for the security of the property.

Lovely House
The house was beautiful, clean and convenient. We had a girls weekend and it was the perfect setting, white and beachy! Only thing I can complain about is the lack of amenities advertised… there were no games like listed, the Alexa home would not stay connected to play music and the TVs did not work. When I told the property manager about the TVs, I was told the previous tenant broke them but I was upset this was not communicated. We specifically booked for the hot tub and it would not heat above 95 and felt like bath water. We had also asked for the golf cart and were told it wasn’t available only at check in time so we had to ramble to find another, Crystal Beach Golf Carts saved the day! Host did communicate well, and tried to help fix the hot tub but it didn’t work. All in all, great stay but I think this property could do with quality check ups weekly or before/after each stay.

Quick trip
We only stayed 1 night but we had a great time. The house is beautiful and has what you need for a stay including body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. It’s about 5 rows from the beach so just a short walk. The hot tub was so relaxing It’s a very comfortable place. The hosts gave very quick responses to our texts. Just FYI, the golf cart is not included. It cost $125 extra to use it.

Great House, Great Host
The house is beautiful and very clean. Pretty good view of the ocean and beach from the upper deck porch. I stayed for two weeks there and was a great place to get away while I was back in the states. The wifi could’ve been a little bit better but it got the job done for work. Karishma was awesome with communication and always got back to me within the hour of needing anything. I’m the future I will for sure be coming back if I’m in the area and in need of a place to stay. Thank you!
