A Magical New Year's Eve!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We celebrated New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in Crystal Beach, and this property was more than I could have asked for. The photos online truly don’t do it justice. Being just steps from the beach was both beautiful and incredibly convenient.The kids were able to pop firecrackers, and we built a small campfire on the beach to roast s’mores, which made the experience even more special. The home has plenty of space for everyone, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need.I highly recommend this property and can’t wait to stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was perfect, more than we expected and met all our hopes.No one needs anything more, nice, clean, fresh, the TV was the biggestfrustrations when we weren't outside and at night. Maybe a handrail and tiled bench in the on suite master bath and a fridge could use a new look.

Texas fun

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was great except the washing machine. My family always packs lightly. We always rent a place with a washer and dryer so we can do so. The washing machine was broken and you could only wash a shirt and pair of shorts in a load if that. Very frustrating. A person came to check it, but it needed parts to fix. He was kind and I did appreciate the service call. The parts weren’t available until after we were gone.

Well decorated and kitchen supplies, utensils, and kitchen pots and pans in abundance. Beds are comfortable and felt very safe and secure. Living room furniture was not as comfortable as it looked but it did not put a damper on our getaway. This is our 2nd time renting this cabin. We will definitely rent again and would definitely recommend renting this Beautiful cabin !!!

Accommodation does NOT come with bedsheets

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is very nice, on a busy stretch of beach with constant vehicle traffic back and forth along the beach between the house and water- so not really a safe place for small children to play. It would be a great stretch of beach if you were looking to blast your music and ride atvs around, it’s definitely an area for the spring break crowd. The comforters were very dirty, and the mattresses were urine stained, probably because people have been sleeping on the uncovered mattresses. We do rent the linen package that was offered, but some of those were badly stained as well, so we limited what beds we used. The overall layout and bed sizes are great for a larger group, there are 7 beds total.

Amazing Deck!

The house was awesome with a great deck. We loved how large the deck was and all the seating. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to just sit and enjoy the ocean from the house. The deck also has a nice gate on it. We were able to just let the kids play on the deck and it was awesome. Great for a relaxing week at the beach! The beach was great, but very, very busy. Cars are able to drive right up and park. We had lots of children with us and had read about how busy it was so we were kind of prepared for it. Overall we had a blast in the water and watching from the deck. Also, be prepared for jelly fish. Multiple people in our group had small stings, but one of our daughters got stung by a larger one, multiple times. Make sure you have vinegar ready. I would also recommend getting the linen package. We expected the beds to be made but they were not, which was a little frustrating but not a big deal. There were a few places that could have been cleaner, but overall we were very happy with the house. A great ocean front property!
