'Relax at Crystal Beach' - Beautiful 4 bedroom spacious Home - Great Beach View
Our beach house was built in 2011 and is located on the 3rd row of a double lot. We have a great view of the beach which is accessible by foot or vehicle. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a great room and kitchen/dining as well as an outdoor bar. At each end of the house is a master bedroom with two additional bedrooms in the middle that share a jack n jill bath. The masters both have a queen size bed, while the middle rooms are equipped with custom made bunk beds (which has a much more spacious headroom than the typical bunk). One room contains 2 twin bunks and the other has a full on bottom and twin on top bunk.
We rent to families only - we are excited to share our beach home with other families that will appreciate and respect like we do.

The house and the view was amazing. It was clean and well organized. The house was well equipped for everything you can think of. They even had a boiler and pot for shrimp. We will definitely be coming back, one of the best houses I ever stayed in.
Beautiful, very clean and modern pretty decor. The hostess has thought of everything! Plenty of roomTo spread out and enjoy the privacy. The hostess was very welcoming and easy to reach. Never had a better experience renting a vacation home.
The house was amazing, and even better in person than the pictures showed. Very spacious and the open floor plan was perfect for our large family. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for letting us stay.
This is a great house and great location! Love the layout of the house and the location! The Host was very helpful as well! Other than it raining hard every day that we were there, we would definitely want to come back to this house and would highly recommend it!
One of the best VRBO hosts I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We stay in that neighborhood every year, and Kathleen and her house have been the best experience! Hope to do it again next year.

Another Fantastic Family Vacation
We've visited this property for 3 years and have had a fabulous time. Everyone has tears in their eyes when we have to leave. Such a fabulous home and wonderful location!! Putting in our reservation for 2018 😁
This was our eighth stay at Relax at Crystal Beach since 2015, and like the very first time we loved this house. The view is fantastic, the house is very clean and has plenty of space, and the owner is very kind and responsive, thank you very much Kathleen!
Wonderful floor plan all on one floor. Very well equipped kitchen and outdoor cooking facilities. Beautiful view of the water. Part of the outdoor deck is covered for sun and rain protection.
Every year our family goes to Crystal Beach for a family getaway. This is our second time to stay at this property and tried to get it another time but it was booked. We love the layout and views of the ocean. The proximity to the beach is excellent. The owners are excellent to work with and we highly recommend staying here. We will be back for a third time to this property if it’s available. It’s been our favorite place to stay in the five years we’ve vacationed at Crystal Beach.
We planned our vacation right before the hurricane was going to hit... our bad luck.. BUT Kathleen went above and beyond!! She was very understanding and was very patient with me and my family, as we were very nervous about the whole situation. My family and I will rent from her any time we go back to Crystal Beach!
The home was everything we could have expected and MORE! The pictures did not do the property justice. Its just beautiful! The owners were great! They called to check in on us after check in and were very quick to respond when we had questions or needed anything. The entire peninsula lost power for about 9 hours one night and Kathleen made sure to keep us updated and had flashlights available for us to use!
Rooms were well spaced out and plenty of privacy. We will definitely be back! Thank you!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house for families! We took both sets of grandparents, kids and siblings and the floor plan was amazing! There is plenty of room in the main area for everyone to hang out while cooking and eating. The rooms are separated enough that you get a little privacy when needed. The location was amazing for the beach! We set up camp and could see it from the windows all day. Easy access to walk or take a short golf cart ride to the beach. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed for cooking our meals. I would recommend staying here 10/10!! The one thing I would recommend is a TON of bug spray, the mosquitoes were no joke!!!
Beautiful water views from almost every room! The beach is a very short walk from this lovely, well-appointed home. The neighbors are not too close so you don't feel crowded or that you have no privacy.
The owner was responsive and very pleasant during the booking and arrival processes.
We stayed Thanksgiving Week 2024 so the beach house had probably been closed for the season so there was a little dust but nothing of importance. A set of double doors leading to the deck didn’t open but there were 3 other options for accessing the large deck.
The bathrooms were clean and fresh bed linens were provided. The kitchen was spacious, had nice appliances (loved the double ovens) and there was plenty dishware and flatware for serving Thanksgiving dinner to a large family.
There is a cargo lift that made getting provisions up from the lower level parking deck much easier than taking the stairs. YAY!!!
Great property with everything you need.

Girls Weekend
What an awesome weekend. The house was beautiful, the beds were comfortable and bathrooms were spacious and very well appointed. I loved the deck, the views were wonderful, plenty of chairs to relax and enjoy the breeze. The weather wasn't really warm enough to sit on the beach but on the deck we were able to sit out and enjoy the sun out of the wind.
One real small negative - We didn't realize until it was time for us to go to bed that there were no sheets on some of the beds, we found the sheets in the drawers under the beds and made them up, but we would have done that much sooner if we had realized, rather than wait until we were all really tired. This of course did not in anyway take away from our wonderful weekend in a beautiful house which we would loved to stay at again, hopefully for our girls trip next year.
Thank you for sharing your home
This was our second year staying at this property and again, it was perfect for our needs! The short walk to the beach...the various room layouts...and the double ovens come in very handy when cooking for two families!!
We had the best time. We absolutely loved the layout of the house. It was a great view of the beach. It fit all of our needs! We will definitely be back!
