The Space
Welcome to your charming Crystal Beach cottage, perfectly positioned just a 3-minute stroll from the sand! This coastal retreat is designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable family memories.
Step outside into your huge, fully fenced yard, an outdoor oasis perfect for fun and relaxation. Fire up the BBQ grill for an afternoon cookout, sway in the hammock with a good book, or gather around the fire pit for evening s’mores. The yard also features cornhole, an outdoor sand shower, and a water table for the kids.
Upstairs, the large, shaded front deck invites you to enjoy refreshing ocean breezes. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or an alfresco meal at the built-in picnic table. Inside, you'll find a bright, open-concept living area with beautiful beadboard ceilings. The fully stocked kitchen boasts glass-front cabinets, a spacious pantry, and an island with extra seating, making meal prep a social affair.

Primary Bedroom: Comfortable King Bed
Guest Bedroom: Comfortable King Bed
Bunk Room: Sleeps 6 (Twin-over-full bunks plus additional twin beds), perfect for kids and extra guests.
Especially for Families: Traveling with little ones is a breeze. We provide essential amenities to make your stay easier, including:

Beach toys
Work from the Beach: Need to stay connected? A dedicated workspace and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the home make it easy to handle remote work or school before heading back to the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Spencer Milligan
Originally we are from a small town in south east Texas. Our family enjoys the beach and travel whenever we can get away. Honestly, we dont mind just sitting on our back back porch while the dogs and kiddo play with grill running and hopefully football the TV.
When we actually get to 'vacation' our preferred activity is SCUBA diving. We have been lucky enough to travel to some really unique places and spend time under the sea.
Hosting started for us as a secondary income source. Over time we have found that we really enjoy a hands on approach, and being a part of generating great memories for friends and family. This is something that continues to grow in our lives and we are enjoying all the goods and bags in the process.

Why they chose this property
We chose to host in this neighborhood actually because our family has a beach house a few miles up the road. It seemed great to also get a place that a few times a year we could try to sync schedules and actually vacation in a home we were using for hosting. Not to mention that I actually lived in Crystal Beach for a few years during college. So we are somewhat locals even though we now call Florida home.
What makes this property unique
Sadly not much. There are so many great properties that even though I feel we have done an excellent job outfitting our house for families so have so many others. So the difference makers is us. We really do work hard to make sure the guests have a great experience and we stay very involved through the whole stay ensuring that if needed, any service can be provided.
