Joanne was very responsive to all questions we had and was always quick to respond. The elevator was an added plus. Great location and short walk to the beach. Great home and definitely hope to go back.
We had a wonderful stay! The host was easy to reach, very helpful, and made everything smooth from start to finish. The house was in the perfect location, very clean, and the elevator was such a plus for my parents. Everything was just as described, and I would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was wonderful. We were traveling with some people of limited mobility, and the elevator inside the house made our trip possible. We were able to hear the waves from our balcony, and the walkover to the beach was very close. We had fun playing ping pong, and appreciated beach chairs and an umbrella. Joanne was very pleasant to work with, and hopefully we will be back!
This house is perfect for families with children. It’s packed with lots of activities and games. It’s located close to town which made it super convenient. We visit Crystal Beach frequently and our children said this was their favorite house thus far.

Meagan, you were great guests! I’m so glad to hear the whole family enjoyed the home, your welcome back anytime!
Excellent property. Literal 1 min walk to beach. Access by golf cart or side by side but not by car. The house is great, A/C worked well. Elevator was a plus. Would definitely stay there again!
We had a great time. The location is amazing. We’ve stayed at a few houses in the same area and this one is my favorite so far! We had everything we needed. The beach toys and beach chairs were so helpful! So glad we didn’t have to bring those along with us on our trip. Can’t wait to come back!
The house was lovely, not directly on the beach but a very short walk away and you could see the ocean from the front porch. We needed the elevator and it worked perfectly.
The communication was so easy with owner and very accommodating to our needs and wants. The place was exactly as described and then some. We had a pleasurable stay and experience and would definitely re-book! Thank you for our stay and the memories we got to make as a family.
We enjoyed our stay at Casa de Barbara. The house is just as described. Waking up, having coffee on the deck and listening to waves roll in was a great way to start the day! The location one street off the beach with a nice view of the beach and very close beach access was awesome. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is nice and all the amenities you need are there. We would stay there again and highly recommend it.
We loved the beach house! It was in a great location very close to beach just one row of houses in front but we still had a view of the beach! It was clean which is a must for me! It had plenty of room for all of us and the dogs! We really liked the elevator as it was great for a family member that can't really use stairs. I would rent it again!
There were so many amenities- everyone felt very comfortable and it was a happy week! Beds are comfy and bathrooms are spacious. The elevator was an added bonus for all of our luggage! The host was extremely accommodating even with places to shop and eat. Lots of space and the view is outstanding! We will definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing by your home.
Great location with extremely easy golf cart & pedestrian access to beach. Clean, well stocked, and CHILD FRIENDLY. Garage could use a little more lighing since there is ping pong & other games, but was still useable. Appreciated the beach toys and other beach items. Polite, professional & efficient communication by host. Appreciated the unsolicited offer of delayed departure due to local road flooding. Only issue was the deadbolt lock did not work correctly with the retrieve & use key from lockbox.
The house is just as it shows online. Communication with owner very easy with quick responses which I very much appreciate. The check in and check out was easy. Location is literally walking distance to the beach. Having use of an elevator is what made our trip as I was traveling with my elderly parents who don’t do steps so easily anymore and of course pet friendly. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side this time but we were able to do some beachcombing for sea glass shells and sharks teeth unfortunately still haven’t master finding a sharks tooth yet. We always enjoy coming to crystal beach! Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Great location but not impressed with the house
Disappointed about the AC. We had miserable nights it was so hot. The extra fans did not help at all. The towels and blankets smelled like they were not dried completely. Just not a comfortable stay...

Oh no! Im sorry this was your experience! I wish you would have reached out during your stay I definitely could have delivered new linens and got the AC checked out. When guests don’t reach out I have to assume no news is good news because I don’t want to interrupt their stay asking questions; this review is shocking to me. I did have maintenance done on the AC this week and it wasn’t running at full capacity. It is now.
Safe travels!
I love sharing our vacation home with others. When I get messages about the wonderful memories families make it warms my heart.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is central to everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Less than 1 minute walk to the beach, short drive/walk or golf cart ride to the store, and close to restaurants.
What makes this property unique
Our elevator allows Grandma and Grandpa or anyone else with limited mobility to come to the beach with you! Bring the family, cook large meals in the kitchen, lounge on the deck, play ping pong in the rec room. It has something for everyone!
