The house was great! We loved the view of the gulf from the patio (without the added cost of a house on the front row). One note, they do not provide beach towels, so bring your own, we had to run to the store for some.

Beach getaway

We found the home very clean and decorated nicely in beach fashion. Bathrooms were stocked well with plenty of towels, shampoo and conditioner and bath wash. Kitchen supplies could use going thru and replacing well worn items. We enjoyed our stay.

Clean and beautiful

The property had great amenities. The kitchen had utensils and pots. The internet was fast even with multiple teens and streaming devices. Check in was easy and the beach was very close. The entire family enjoyed the house. There was plenty of space.

Did not wish to just make due

I was impressed with this property until I wished to heat something in the microwave oven. It was broken. I called to remedy the problem and got a quick response, but no action. By the time I checked out three full days later, still not microwave oven. Ice maker is also not working. Get the basics fixed and this is a wonderful place to stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Jun, 2024
Shared from the owner: "Hi Richard, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the microwave during your stay. We understand how important it is to have all amenities in working order, and we regret that this affected your otherwise positive impression of our property. Please know that we have since replaced the microwave to ensure future guests do not encounter the same issue. We are also looking into the problem with the ice maker to get it resolved as soon as possible. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future so we can provide you with the exceptional experience you deserve."

Absolute Beach

House was great. I would all a few small things like a hand mixer. Disappointed the yard hadn’t been mowed and stickers were horrible. Don’t let the kids get in the grass. They did come mow the next day but still lots of stickers. Otherwise a great trip and really had a great time

4th of July weekend.

The property and location were excellent. If you can't be right on the beach, this is the next best thing. One row back with open views to the gulf. Super kitchen, spacious living area and nice bedrooms. Could use a picnic table downstairs and the front door needs a little attention as far as opening and closing. Also had an issue with the refrigerator cooling when we got there. Had to take everything out and put in coolers. We finally unplugged it and plugged it back in and it started cooling again. Overall, great place to stay, would go back again.

We had such a fun girls trip! Friends that all needed a few days away from life. The house is gorgeous with such a beautiful view in the mornings while drinking coffee. Kitchen is open and spacious. The beach is literally just steps away. We loved every single minute.

Perfect beach house

This beach house was amazing! My family of 6 and my parents were in desperate need of some beach time. The house was very spacious and had a great layout. My parents loved that all the rooms were on the same floor. I was really impressed with everything provided in the house. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and they even provided shampoo/soap/etc in the bathrooms. The deck was great and thanks to the empty lot diagonally in front of us we felt like we were 1st row! We loved sitting out there enjoying the sound of the waves. The beach was a short walk away and was very clean. I would highly recommend this house, it was perfect! Note: If you are bringing kids, there are no beach toys available. Be sure to bring your own.

Great long weekend!

We rented this beautiful home for some family fun with the grandparents, who drove in from Dallas. We have stayed in Crystal Beach several times but this house really exceeded our expectations. They thought of every detail..no driving to the store for extra supplies. Super comfy beds and my kids loved the bunk bed room. Huge kitchen, great for cooking! Steps away from the beach and due to the empty lot in front, you have a great beach view (and nightly fireworks). We are already planning our next trip back! Thank you! P.S Call Joe’s Bait and Crab for the BEST blue crabs..fresh daily! We had a fun shrimp and crab boil with kids. It was delish!

Great Family Atmosphere

Everything you need is included in the rental! We couldn’t have picked a better home. The neighborhood is quiet and people were very friendly. Extremely close walk to beach. Access to shopping, gas, cart rentals and food extremely convenient. Our contact person was beyond wonderful and quick to respond. It is wonderful to have a place that is equipped to handle 5 children ages 6-14yrs old. Plenty of TOILET PAPER provided! My 6 year old special needs child was singing about him being “CHARMIN CLEAN” every time he came out of the bathroom! LOL!! Even though it wasn’t it was much better quality and quantity. Just a funny share of the simple thing my special needs child noticed. Overall everything from booking to departure was convenient, wonderful and appreciated to the fullest.
