Relaxing and enjoyable

Property was nice. Location was nice. It was a lot of fun to watch the beachgoers come and go. The only problem we had was the front door door handle. It was loose and didn’t wanna lock and the door stay shut. Other than that. It was nice could’ve used the lift, but it was nice.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A Beachside Gem at Crystal Beach! 🌊🏖️Our family has been staying here for years, and it never disappoints! This beautiful house is spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. Everything inside the house is super nice and well-maintained. The recent exterior paint job looks amazing, making the house even more charming.One of our favorite features is the convenient shower below for washing off sandy feet before heading upstairs—such a thoughtful touch! Whether you're lounging indoors or enjoying the beach, this house has it all. We highly recommend it for a memorable stay! Beautiful view of the ocean. Thank you Surf and Sand

Loved Our Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After our hours on the beach, we enjoyed sitting on the deck to watch the night action. The Sheriff’s Department was visible and active in safety on the beach. The proper was as described and very clean. Cobb Realty was very professional and friendly. I would recommend this rental to a friend and would rent it again. The restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping was close to the rental. We did rent a cart because the beach was very crowded so we had to go further for a spot to set up our cabana and chairs. The cart rental place delivered and picked up our cart. Very convenient. We had a wonderful stay!

4th of July FUN!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've rented this cabin through Cobb many times over the last several years and, as usual, we had a great time! Cobb is great to deal with and the house is in a perfect location and has everything we need. We had zero issues while there although it was the week before the hurricane hit; we left Sunday afternoon and Monday it was a totally different story. The weather the week we were there was great! The beach was busy but not packed. Fantastic house and fantastic company to deal with....win-win!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We lost our rental at the end of last that we had been renting for the last 10 years and we loved the area . This rental happened to be just across the street from our old rental. We booked it and enjoyed the house. It checked off all of our vacation needs and accommodated all of our guest with plenty of room . We will rent again for a yearly vacation trip to Crystal Beach.

Great House and Location!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location of this house is perfect, could not be any better! The house itself is a great floor plan, room sizes are good and the mattresses are the best of any house we've rented to date by far!!!! House needs a bit of maintenance (exterior paint mainly) and a picnic table downstairs would be nice but all in all it definitely is a cabin I'd want to rent again......and look forward to it too! Once again Cobb was easy and professional, always a pleasure to do business with you. The linens and towels were more than adequate as well. I'd definitely give Surf and Sand 5 Stars!!!!!!
