Our family had an incredible stay! Even with rainy weather, the house provided everything we needed to enjoy each other’s company. The home had more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable and the hosts did a great job being well planned and stocked for guests.
It was great! Host was prompt to respond to questions. Lots of beach toys, chairs, wagon. Corn hole game, hot tub, arcade game. We and our grandkids all enjoyed it. It was clean and plenty of room for all to sleep comfortably. Thank you!
Purple Surf was the perfect home for my family and I. Accommodating everyone’s needs and just steps away from the beach. I would definitely book again and encourage others to do so as well. Super easy check in process and the host was very helpful and responsive.
Close to beach , wonderful fenced yard for pets , entry stairs are slightly steep but it is an elevated home , just mentioning if anyone in your group has issue with stairs
The perfect little get away spot with a fantastic view of the ocean. We truly enjoyed our weekend here at the beach. Wish our stay could have lasted longer, hope to visit again soon.
We had such a great stay at this vacation home! It was the perfect setup for families, with plenty of space for a multi‑family group with an ocean view and a fantastic game room that kept the kiddos entertained for hours. The fully fenced‑in yard was a huge bonus it helped keep the little ones safe and contained, which gave us great peace of mind. Inside, the home was spotless and stocked with everything we needed to feel right at home, a grill, plenty of cookware, extra blankets and bedding, and even a washer and dryer. It’s clear the hosts put a lot of thought into making sure guests have a comfortable, stress‑free stay. Although the January weather and an incoming winter storm kept us from enjoying many outdoor activities, we noticed tons of fun options for better weather boogie boards, outdoor games, a small swing set, and even a Jacuzzi under the really cool covered deck area below the house. Even though we stayed inside more than expected, the home made it easy to relax and enjoy time together. We’d absolutely love to come back when the weather is warmer to take advantage of everything this place has to offer!
Very nice home and plenty of room for any kind of activity that you want to do.
We loved walking on the beach that was only about a minute away from the front door!
Dinner at Stingaree is a MUST!

Great location if you don’t mind the traffic
Beautiful property, great access to the beach. This is located right off the main street. You can hear the traffic at all hours day and night. The enclosed yard is a bonus for small children and pets. Owner is responsive and friendly. Would stay here again.
We had such a great time! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Location is perfect for our time on the beach. We enjoyed all the wonderful amenities. Beds were comfortable and the A/C was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you again to the owner Carrie for being so accommodating and nice. Our family very much enjoyed our stay and we hope to come back again next year!
We had a great stay at Purple Surf! Loved how close it was to the beach and all the toys available for the kids to have fun in the sand. The kids had fun with the arcade room too!The views from the deck were great and many morning cups of coffee were enjoyed listening to the birds. Check-in was easy and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Host was responsive to all questions and concerns.As mentioned in other reviews the road noise was near constant and all the living space is up a flight of stairs. We knew this going in so nothing negative on the host, but is certainly something to note if you have family that may be challenged by daily stair use.
The owners had installed a firepit the week before we arrived. Such a great surprise and perfect for some chilly evenings we spent during our Thanksgiving trip. The beach access was super convenient and the views were great. This is no way felt like at 4th-row beach house. Loved the fenced in back yard for our pup, and the way the fence encompassed the stair landing was very well though out. Three king bedrooms made all the adults in our group feel comfortable. The house overall was very well laid-out and well appointed.
This was a great property. Plenty of room and set up well to host a large surprise birthday party for my mom. The only thing that would make this a better property would be to add a cargo lift to get things up and down for the stay. But we knew at the outset that it was a beach house and that it didn't have a cargo lift, so nothing negative on the owners.
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. We were a group of 2 families (4 adults, 6 kids) and the house fit us perfectly. Would probably could have even had another family of 4/5 and still have been very comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make all meals in. The upstairs game room was such a hit for the kids and they would have been happy playing up there all day. Upstairs is a loft, but there are doors than can be closed so it does feel private and like another bedroom. The beach is literally steps away and we even let the older kids go down by themselves since we could see them from the deck of the house. We’d love to come back to this house again!

About the host
Hosted by Carrie Lupton
Thanks for considering our home! A little about us- my family and I (my husband and our 5 kids) love being outdoors and exploring. Originally from Texas, we've lived in NY, WI, CO, and now back to Texas and thoroughly enjoy seeing what each state has to offer. We have learned that we have a deep admiration for the mountains and the beach. Our home in Crystal Beach is the quiet and peaceful beach retreat you’re seeking. We hope you choose our home as your place to stay, but if not, we hope you have a wonderful time during your travels and with the ones you love.
Feel free to check out our other homes in the cozy Smoky Mountains and on the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, AL!
