Wonderful time at Redfish Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed being right on the beach and the layout of your home! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out with our party of 14. Going out to have coffee on the deck and watch our children play on the beach just below was such an added convenience and bonus! We would definitely stay here again at the Redfish Retreat! : )

Great location and very nice house. Property manager was very responsive to questions, etc. Small pest control issue but I feel confident it will be addressed quickly and shouldn't impact future visitors :)

Weekend getaway

Our family and friends had an amazing getaway for my birthday and holiday weekend. The house did not disappoint! It has everything we needed and more. Everyone enjoyed all the arcade games and all the amenities the downstairs patio had to offer. The location was great! Would definitely return for another trip!

lovely beautiful house

the house and property is lovely!! linens were so nice, cozy blankets and lots of nice towels, super comfortable beds and corner couch in the living room, loved all the yard games and and accessories in the storage shed, plenty of comfortable chairs on the decks, also was impressed how well the kitchen was stocked! But our biggest disappointment was the HUGE loud party crowd of teenagers that showed up on the beach on Friday for most of the day. Drinking, smoking, blaring music, loud pickups roaring up and down the beach, also very disturbing disrespectful behavior to the property beside us. in short not at all a quiet peaceful family friendly place safe for children! We were so thankful that Saturday was much calmer and quieter!! we also enjoyed the local restuarants, delicous seafood!

Lovely home

This was a fun house to stay in with kids. The kids loved the game room. Everyone had plenty of room and enjoyed the property. There were a lot of campers on the beach and they did play loud music all night during the weekend. I recommend this property for weekday stay.

THE Place to stay on Crystal Beach

We were at this home for 10 days during August and definitely plan on going back. This home has the perfect set up for families and kids of all ages. Amongst many other things, one of my favorite things about the house was there was a living room downstairs for the adults to hang out and a game room upstairs for the kids to hang out. The house has all the accommodations you could ask for and has been one of my favorite stays at Crystal Beach. Great location, beach access, plenty of games under the house, fully stocked kitchen- all around great!

Vacay With Mom & Dad

The property was perfect for us and our young adult kids. The open concept home left us with ample room to cook and move about in the kitchen, and lots of space to eat together and hang out playing cards later. The location of the home was perfect! While the atmosphere was fun and festive on the beach, we had a wonderful time relaxing on the deck with no issues. We came back relaxed and with lots of great memories!

Great Beachfront Vacation Home for Kids of All Ages

Beautiful views from interior and from balconies. Fresh evening breezes… even though it was July. Note for Parents and Grandparents… If you walk the sandy path to the road, and access the beach from the road, you’ll walk past a small, free “Kids Library of Beach Toys” on the right. It’s a little collection kids can pick from and return at the end of the day. Feel free to leave your personal kid toys there if you’re not able to take them on your journey home. Other kiddos will enjoy them after your departure.

House was not clean. Refrigerators smelled and were dirty. House needed to be cleaned better. Mosquitos were horrible. Houses were closer together. Photos were deceiving. The view was beautiful. The house layout was great. Lots of little details. The cleanliness was just disappointing.

This property is perfectly located right on the beach. This home is brand new! I think we were about one of the first of five groups that have stayed there. The layout is awesome. Highly recommended! The property manager Leslie was about the best I’ve ever worked with on a rental with Vrbo. Very accommodating to make everything perfect. Just like you want it. Thanks for a great weekend! Pat J

What makes this property unique

You can't get closer to the beach than at Redfish Retreat. You will be right on the ocean as the property backs up to the beautiful sand of Crystal Beach. Watch the waves and the sunrise right from the expansive decks or from inside the house.
