This Beach House was very nice. I highly recommend it . The Host was very easy to work with. My family and I came down for my grand daughters 5th birthday, they own a beach house in Crystal Beach, but had several friends and family from out of town staying with them , so I rented this nice beach house for the rest of our family. It was just a mile away from their beach house so it made it very convenient to visit with everyone. This house was just 1 block away from the beach, that was great ! I would rent it again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. The house location is so close to the beach. The layout of the house is ideal for a couple of families to stay. We will definitely make this house our place for soaking up the sun and enjoying some quiet time.
