Great Extended Family Vacation Spot
This was a spacious place for an extended family trip, with plenty of room to spread out. The upper level play area was great for older kids to play games away from the main living room. The kitchen was very well equipped, even for the large group we had. There was dining seating for all. The property managers were quick to respond to every question and provided valuable local information. We loved the included beach equipment, making our travel load lighter! The walk to the beach was short and not problem for our 71 year olds or our 2 year old!! We loved the rocking chairs on the mail deck that looked out to the ocean and spent a lot of time on the deck at night to catch the moon and stars. The only suggestions to make all perfect would be to: 1) add more toilet paper. After 4-5 days, many of the bathrooms were out of the one roll included per bathroom, luckily we brought some of our own. 2) add sponges or dishcloths to the kitchen (we had to just use a wet paper towel to wipe counters). There were dish towels. 3) carefully check the deck for boards that are not nailed down. We just put a pot over the spot we found where a board deflected on main floor deck.

Great House
We had a great time at this beach house! The hosts were easy to talk to and responsive to any questions we may have had. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The private beach access was perfect and just a short walk over. Crystal Beach also had a lot to offer within short distances. We will be back again!

Perfect Vacation Spot
Had an incredible stay at this gorgeous house. We went on vacation with a large group of friends and family, over a wide range of ages, and it was perfect for everyone. Very short walk to the beach, an incredible patio for relaxing and enjoying the outside, a fenced in area so the kids could all have fun (while being within watching distance), large house to never feel crowded, and a clean beach. Loved getting to see the sunset and sunrise on the porch, and going on walks on the beach. Very responsive owners, and can’t wait to return to this location.

About the host

Host profile image
The beach has always been our family's favorite place to visit. There are many activities nearby with something for everyone. Fishing, dolphin watching excursions, golf, aquarium, water parks and historic tours all nearby. The ferry ride is a fun way to start off the day of adventures. Even if the day does not involve these adventures, the beach is always a relaxing way to enjoy the day.

Why they chose this property

We chose Chrystal Beach because the beaches are more relaxing and not as crowded as surrounding beaches. This house is a 2 minute walk to the beach with private neighborhood access to the beach.

What makes this property unique

The home's close proximity to the beach makes for a safe stroll to the beach. Since the neighborhood does not provide public beach access then there is not a lot of street traffic in the neighborhood. The
