About the host
Hosted by Kristi
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re considering Tranquility By The Sea for your getaway. I’ve always had a love for travel and know firsthand how refreshing it is to step away from the busy pace of life and simply breathe.
Hosting this home is more than just offering a place to stay—it’s about creating a peaceful escape where you can truly relax, reconnect with the people you care about, and enjoy the beauty of the coast. Every detail in the home was thoughtfully chosen with your comfort in mind, and my hope is that your time here feels restful, easy, and full of good memories.
Thank you for letting me be a small part of your vacation—I hope you love it here as much as I do!

Why they chose this property
I chose this spot because it offers the best of both worlds. It’s just a short walk to the beach, but in a quiet and peaceful area that feels like a true escape. I love that it’s close enough to all the fun and activities in Crystal Beach—restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are just 8 miles away—but far enough removed to offer a little more privacy, fewer crowds, and a slower pace. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the coast.
What makes this property unique
I chose Tranquility By The Sea because it truly offers the best of both worlds. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful—perfect for relaxing—but still close enough to all the fun of Crystal Beach when you ’re ready to explore. You can walk to the beach in just a few minutes, and the community pool, playground, fire pit, and observation deck are literally just one house away.
What really makes this home special, though, is how it’s set up for you to enjoy every part of your stay. Whether you're sipping coffee with ocean views from the upper deck, grilling dinner while the kids play outside, or gathered around a board game at night, we’ve tried to think of all the little touches that make time away feel easy and refreshing.
I designed this space with families in mind—comfortable, spacious, and full of thoughtful details—so you can focus on making memories and soaking in the slow, breezy pace of life at the beach.
