We had an amazing stay.... already thinking when to rent it again... wished we could have stayed longer. We all loved the middle deck with the bar, hot tub and small kitchen.The only small picky thing was that the door code didnt work.. but just used the keys in the lock box!!!

Great Times at Waves & Whiskey

My family had a great experience at Waves & Whiskey! The location on the beach is second to none. The house was great with plenty of outdoor spaces and plenty of room for our family. We loved the outdoor shower as well.

True On the Beach Experience

If you're looking for a true in the beach vacation, look no further. Wake up to a sunrise on the deck, walk to the beach and hangout for the day, enjoy the views in the evening, watch movies at night in front of the massive outdoor bar area or while relaxing in the hot tub. Great house, fun location!

Excellent - 5 Stars

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Waves and Whiskey! The private access to the beach was a game-changer — it made everything so convenient and allowed us to spend hours by the water without any hassle. The location is perfect, offering breathtaking views right from the property. The downstairs room was fantastic for the kids, giving them their own space to hang out and enjoy the beach vibe. We especially loved the kitchen on the bottom floor, which made it super easy and convenient to relax and hang at the bar. There's truly nothing better than soaking in a hot tub while taking in the incredible view of the ocean. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day on the beach. Overall, Waves and Whiskey exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to come back. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing, beachside escape!

Great location on the beach!

This house has a great view and is a very short distance from the sand. The interior and decking are very nice and comfortable and the kitchen is huge! My family truly enjoyed our stay here and will be coming back in the future.

Fantastic stay booked on extremely short notice

This property is perfect if you want a beach get away with a large family or friends. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. The beach is excellent and warm enough for swimming even in late December.

Excellent - 5 Stars (even with less than ideal weather)

Our trip was on the tail end of a rare snow and ice storm in January of 2025. Fortunately, we didn't incur any travel delays or power outages despite airport and road closures the day before our arrival. Once we were settled into Waves & Whiskey, we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful gulf views and local restaurants/amenities. The cooler temps and high winds never did allow for extended time outdoors (without being in the hot tub) but we still had a great visit with friends and family! The house was well suited for our group size and it is so easy to get to stores and restaurants - including a nice afternoon at Margarittavillle. A great getaway for sure.

The best views of the Gulf from both levels of the decks are unmatched. The house was perfect for our large group with room to spare. The restaurants and bars nearby are an added plus. All around our favorite option for visiting Crystal Beach! Never disappointed!

Great Home and Location

We absolutely loved Waves & Whiskey. It is in a great location right on the beach. It was so relaxing to sit on the balcony in the morning and have coffee. Besides the beach, there are several things to do in the area that are not crazy expensive. We will be back again!

Excellent location and great amenities

Three families, 6 adults and 6 kids stayed at this property for 5 nights in December and had a great time. The property is located by the beach and has all the amenities as listed online. Everything we needed was available at the property. The kids really enjoyed the hot tub and easy access to the beach. My only complaint was with the room in the lower level (2nd floor) which had no windows and was kind of muggy even with AC turned on. The floors are high and that makes someone old or with physical condition tough time to climb up. An elevator would be great add, similar to one in the adjacent property

Perfect Getaway

Enjoyed a relaxing and fun weeklong trip with several girlfriends and could not have been more comfortable! This beachfront property has every expected amenity... including a glorious outdoor shower! Beach access is easy and the house is beautifully decorated. Enjoyed several of the nearby restaurants and felt very at home. Would definitely visit again!
