This is the best Vrbo we’ve been to! The kitchen has everything you need to cook on site, towels available, comfortable beds, even shampoo and conditioner! We are hoping to make this a yearly trip! The host communicates so well, and even let me know what items we left behind! We loved our stay!

Excellent stay

We had a great time at this house. Anna was a great host with great communication. House was very clean with lots of comfortable beds. The fenced yard was great for my dogs. We will definitely be back.

This year was our first to stay at this particular property. The house was great- roomy, clean, and with all the amenities of home. We chose to rent the golf cart which was perfect for trips to the beach, Margaritaville, and the convenience store. But I was most impressed with Ana, the owner, who went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. She kept in contact via email well before our scheduled arrival and then by text once we reached Crystal Beach. I couldn't have asked for a nicer property owner. We will definitely be back next year. I would highly recommend this beach house to anyone. The price was great, the location close to the beach, and the house was comfortable with a great layout, especially the living room and kitchen area which afforded ample space for our group to relax in the evening.

The house is absolutely perfect, great design and decor inside, big tv for watching my astros in the living and master bedroom, my daughter loved the big bunk beds, the fenced in downstairs was perfect for my dog, location is great as well, just a few minutes walk from the beach, the host was great. She answered any question I had and helped in every way possible. This was our first time using vrbo and renting at the beach. We have stayed with other family before at other cabins but this experience was so much better, the bar has now been set so high we will probably only stay here from now on. We just dont know how it could get any better. Cant give this beach house rental enough praise. You will not be disappointed. I wish i took pictures from inside the house, it is exactly as shown in the listing, listen yall will not be disappointed with this place.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m truly thrilled to hear that you and your family (including your pup!) had such a wonderful experience. It means a lot to know that the house met your expectations — from the design and layout to the little touches like the TV for watching your Astros and the bunk beds for your daughter. I’m so glad I could help make your first VRBO beach rental a smooth and memorable one. Your feedback genuinely made my day, and I’d love to host you again anytime — the door will always be open for you all! Thanks again for choosing A Sandy Hope!

We celebrated our daughter’s graduation here with family and stayed here another time too. Plenty of space for all the kids to sleep and safely hangout. Ana was an amazing host and really has everything you need there. We used their charcoal/gas grill and she had all the supplies. We entertained family downstairs and were able to keep our dog wandering freely with the closed in fence. Golf cart was a blast as well. Very accommodating for all ages and dogs too. If you want an easy getaway, a smooth process and a quiet evening then book this place. It’s a beautiful home, very beach like feel and plenty of space for all the fam. Thanks Ana so much for the care you put into our experience here. Each of our family members want to book this place again and were all really impressed with the home. I kept telling them how kind Ana has been and attentive. Definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful review. It truly means a lot to me that your family enjoyed celebrating such a special milestone together at the house. I’m so happy everyone felt comfortable, had fun with the golf cart, and were able to relax and make great memories together, including your pup 😊 It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family. Thank you as well for being such wonderful guests and for noticing all the little details we try to provide to make everyone feel at home. Hearing that your family would love to come back honestly makes my day. Congratulations again to your daughter on her graduation, and I would love to host you all again anytime!
