What an amazing experience from the time I booked it to the time we left. Had the quickest responses on questions I had. The place was amazing with everything you need. All you have to do is show up with few clothes and swimsuits.
The views are great..especially that sunset while swinging on the porch!
Thank you for your review. I appreciate you noting the accuracy of the listing and the communication—it means a lot. You were easy to host, and you’re always welcome back anytime.
Very clean house with great beach access. Kids loved the game room and hottub

Amazing Weekend
Was a amazing weekend for us and I’d like to thank to owner. Very clean, comfy and wonderful scene from front deck.
This was by far our favorite place to stay at Crystal Beach. Perfect views, steps to the sand and water. Plenty of space and things to do for the whole family. Even with it being the coldest weekend of the year so far, this was the best place to be to keep us all entertained and spend quality time together.

Beautiful home and everything you need
This home was so beautiful and had everything you need and more!!! Very thought out home. We had a blast at our annual family Labor Day Beach weekend! This house is so close to the beach and the porch is perfect to sit and enjoy! Home is decorated so cute, and host was checking on us the whole time!
They thought of everything when they designed/supplied this vacation rental.
Beautifully done and you felt comfortably at home as soon as you walked in.
Thoughtful and intuitive details throughout.
Highly recommend!
Ratna is a very attentive host.

Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you found our vacation rental to be well-designed and equipped with thoughtful details. It's wonderful to know that you felt at home from the moment you arrived. We appreciate your recommendation and are grateful for your recognition of our attentiveness as host.
This was our second stay at this home, and as my teenager said "it felt like coming home." They really have thought of everything you might need ... and have several thoughtful extras as well. The host is very responsive and quickly handled the small issues we encountered this time. This property is still a 5 out of 5 stars for us!

We always strive to be responsive to our guests' needs and ensure a smooth experience. Thank you for choosing to stay with us again, and we look forward to hosting you in the future!
We regularly stay in Crystal Beach multiple times a year. This is one of the best houses we have stayed at simply because of the attention to detail. We are very health conscious and for us, the little things like healthy cooking oils, Stevia for coffee, and clean toiletry products like shampoos and soaps were noticed and appreciated. The house itself is beautiful and very well decorated. The proximity to the beach is another plus. The kids (and the adults) all loved the game room and hot tub. One of our favorites and we will definitely stay there again.

We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our Crystal Beach home and appreciated the attention to detail we put into making it comfortable for our guests. We're thrilled that the amenities and entertainment options added to your experience, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Highly recommend this lovely home. It has amazing views and is in the perfect spot for sunset. The hosts have thought of literally everything you could possibly need … this was probably the most well-appointed VRBO we have rented. The entire family felt comfortable and “at home” immediately. The host was easily reachable and incredibly nice and accommodating. The house is located on a busy part of the beach, so I would suggest accompanying kids as they walk down to the beach. (Some people were speeding to and from the beach, but usually slowed down if I walked out to the porch and gave them the “mom eye.” ) I would definitely rent this home again. 5 out of 5 stars!

Absolutely Perfect Beach Getaway!
We had an incredible week at this beautiful beach house in Crystal Beach! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, stylishly decorated, and fully equipped with literally everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The location was unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach with stunning ocean views from the front windows and the deck. We loved waking up to that each morning and viewing the evening sunset, as well.
The outdoor space was amazing for grilling, dining, and spending time together in the evenings. The hot tub was also a huge hit for the adults and teens—nothing like soaking under the stars after a beach day! The kids absolutely loved the game room, which gave them their own space to hang out, play games, and just be kids while the adults relaxed. (Our hosts have thought of everything!)
The hosts were responsive, welcoming, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. You can tell they really care about their guests’ experience.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic, and well-appointed home for your beach vacation, look no further. We made so many wonderful memories here and can’t wait to come back again. Highly, highly recommend!

Book it!!!
We stayed at Beachside Bliss for four nights this past week to celebrate our sons high school graduation and enjoyed every minute of it! Everything in the house is just as described and pictured. Ratna was an amazing host…got back with me right away with any questions I had. Our family of four loved how close you are to the beach and we couldn’t get over the incredible views!!! My favorite spot was the yellow chairs on the deck. I drank my coffee out there every morning…so peaceful! Our entire family really enjoyed the game room…even our teenagers, who typically can’t take their eyes off their phones, got into it😉
The Nauti Beaver Hut bar and grill is just down the road and has great food and live music every night. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not working while we were there but we were reimbursed for that portion of our stay and Ratna kept us informed about this before we even arrived. If we are back in this area again we will most definitely be staying at Beachside Bliss!
This home has it all. A great location with amazing views, an awesome game room, hot tub beautiful kitchen with a well equiped coffee bar, a large main suite with a great shower, plus a bunk room that sleeps lots of little people! I really appreciate all the attention to detail and hope to be back soon.

Overall a real gem of a place and worth every penny.
Beachside Bliss was perfect for our family with unobstructed views of the ocean from the outdoor patio and the easy beach access. The interiors of the property are beautiful and well maintained. The house is new with lots of amenities, comfortable bedding, and the kitchen is very well stocked. There is loads of entertainment in the garage for kids and we really enjoyed the hot tub. The host was great to communicate with and the responses were quick. Already planning our next stay.
