This is a great home with everything you need for a perfect beach vacation. The convenience of having a golf cart was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again.
Quaint 3 bedroom cabin for families and also an excellent place for a couple’s getaway. Short walk to the beach and great view of the shore from the patio.
Had a great time staying at Crystal Beach, the beach was only 3 minutes from our House and the view was great from our deck. Our accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. If we had any questions our hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had concerning our stay. Looking forward to staying again. Rod and Steph , Ord, Nebraska
We loved the location, the cleanliness, the Host was very attractive. We enjoyed our stay.We had only a few dislikes 1 the main bedroom needs a better bed 2 the property needs more closet space 3 the main bedroom bathroom had a broken toilet seat.
We had such an amazing time! The house has everything you need, is clean and homey. The beds are comfy. There is a view of the ocean and its a very short walk to the beach, although we drove onto the beach just so we didnt have to carry all of our gear. It's very close to The Big Store and restaurants! We will absolutely stay again!
We get beach houses several times a year for family get togethers and this house has been the best. Very clean, very well stocked, super comfortable beds and pillows, excellent communication and instructions from our host. The area is so nice, very close to the beach. The golf cart was in great shape and was so nice to use on the beach. The fire pit area was comfortable with nice chairs. We will definitely book again with Derek & Lauren for our future gatherings!
