Sister’s & cousin spring break getaway

My sister and I packed up our teen/preteen sons for a spring break beach trip. This house was perfect. Check-in was easy, everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed for giant family breakfasts and the living room hosted a multi day monopoly game. The adults spent mornings on the deck with coffee and evenings in the hot tub with wine. The beach was perfect and the neighborhood friendly and quiet.

Winter Beach Getaway

We booked this property for our winter getaway to the beach. This property kept us entertained with a hot tub, puzzles/games, and a Roku! It was exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything you need. Plenty to do around Bolivar in the off season. You get the entire beach to yourself! We will definitely book this property again!

We didn’t stay here… But we had it booked.

I wanted to leave a positive review for this house because she was so attentive… We were checked into our hotel five hours away from our stay when she called me and let me know that a tornado had knocked out power to the entire peninsula. She was extremely helpful, and helped to get our stay refunded even after VRBO said no. I will definitely try to stay here again, based on how attentive this host was even when there was no money to be made.

Awesome!!

The property is very well maintained and exactly as advertised. Check-in/check-out was very smooth. The kids (11,14,17) enjoyed the hot tub and yard games. The house was very well stocked and we enjoyed cooking together-anything and everything you may need is there and in great shape/very clean. Sara is a wonderful host, she was very accommodating. I highly recommend the property and we will absolutely stay here again! Thank you!!!

Modern, beautiful beach house

The property was very clean inside and outside. The house itself matched the photos in the listing. The kitchens was very modern and updated with beautiful countertops and tile floors. Our 6 year old daughter loved the bunk beds. The master bathroom has a large glass shower. This beach house went above and beyond our expectations. We will likely rent this exact same property again in the future!

Great house near beach!

Just me and my husband and our dog. The house was very clean and as advertised. I liked how the owner provided a few extra TP rolls and paper towel rolls and trash bags. The kitchen was well stocked. My only suggestion would be to get a different single pod coffeemaker. This one takes forever to make one pod. But they did provide a carafe coffee maker and they provided different coffee creamers and sweeteners which was very nice! They also provided flavored coffees, too! Towels were plentiful which I greatly appreciated! Hand towels and hand soap in every bathroom and also shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the showers! Very nice!! The master shower is wonderful- very big! Everything was very clean- even the Weber grill. The house is definitely a golf cart ride to beach, or car. But nice beach at end of road. Communication with host was great. WiFi was spotty, but apparently that’s common at Crystal Beach- unless you have Starkink!We would rent again! Great place to stay!

Family Paradise

I loved everything about our stay. More than a 5 star stay. Let’s give it a 6 star. The house was cleaned and everything on picture was in person as well. Nice and cozy. Felt like home. I love the flooring color which jumped out to my wife. The house was amazing. I like it had hallways leading to room and out just an open floor plan. My son enjoyed the entertainment outside and played all day long. We also enjoyed down space nice and open and huge which led us to do our gender reveal for our second child. Wish I can upload pictures. But it’s a girl. Truly enjoyed the stay. Amazing stay.

Great Beach weekend

Great experience from start to finish, fully transparent owner. Easy to communicate with. Hassle free, hiccup free and all pictures and descriptions were 100% accurate. Now the property, clean, comfortable and cozy. The beach house was fantastic, great use of space, excellent beach decor made us feel right at home. Modern and clean appliances, big family island and filled with everything you would need for entertaining. The hot tub was very clean, easy to use and a treat after a days drive. Plenty of beach toys and games for the kids. Very safe and family friendly. We will be back.

Perfect

From the moment we arrived until we departed the place was amazing. Check in was super simple and the AC was already going for us which is a plus , everything was perfectly clean and organized for our arrival with welcome additions such as coffee , etc. All of the three rooms were perfect , shower was amazing! The kitchen does have everything you need for a super convenient stay while you are there and the laundry area was a life saver. WiFi was super easy and dependable and the living room area was perfect for our needs also . The patio below was huge and easy too access with a lot of room to relax and grill some steaks and hangout . Sara is an amazing host and easy to reach out to for anything , thank you again Sara for everything ! We highly recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing time that is close enough to access things you need and great access to the beach but quiet enough to relax as well !

Wow!! Great Location/Super House

We stayed over the Fourth of July holiday. The house was in a perfect location. Close enough to the beach to walk, but far enough away from the chaos and traffic. The home was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The bedrooms had plenty space. Communication with the owner was fantastic. She replied quickly to every message. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay at Crystal Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perfect Getaway for Spring Break

Thank you so much for a great time! The beach house was perfect for our famiily of 5, which included our furbaby, T-Rex. We all enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend to our friends and family. The house was located not too far from the beach which helped us get our steps in. When we did drive onto the beach, the entrance was also super convenient. We were also close to the Big Store which is a neat place should you have forgotten anything. Communication with the host was also super fast and easy! Thank you again!!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello friends! My name is Sara and I am mom and house manager of this family of 4. Born and raised in Southern California has always played a part in drawing me toward beach vacations. As a transplant to a small town in Pennsylvania we realized we wanted a beach house that not only our family could enjoy but where others could have a beautiful place to create memories of their own! As a family we love being outdoors, playing games, attending sporting events and traveling to explore places we have never been. We hope you have a wonderful time exploring and making memories at Crystal Beach and hope you love our place as much as we do!
