Beautiful stay

We had a comfortable stay and really enjoyed our time on the deck watching and listening to the ocean. Beds were comfortable, and we had quick access to the store and restaurants.

Nicely decorated house, close to the beach

The house was very clean and tidy, nicely decorated inside and out. Very close to the beach and you can actually hear the waves and has a bit of ocean view, which was great for a morning coffee on the deck. The only downside was the early check out at 10 am, other than that it was great.

What a perfect place for family time.

Property is just as great as it looks in photos. I was very happy to stay there. We loved the large open living area with plenty of seating for all the family to enjoy their time together. Plenty of extras were found in home. Thank you for offering this as a vrbo.

Wonderful Family-Friendly Beach Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this 3-bedroom beach house! The home was clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location was perfect — just a quick and easy golf cart ride to the beach. We actually loved that the area only allowed golf cart access; it really cut down on traffic and made the neighborhood feel much safer for our kids.The community was peaceful, well maintained, and very family friendly. It was the kind of place where you could truly unwind. We’d absolutely come back again!

Wonderful property!

Our group of 11 had a wonderful time at the house! It was the perfect amount of space, has comfy beds & sofas, and we had everything we needed to cook all of our meals for 5 days! We had a small hiccup with the door handle, but the host sent someone out to fix it and got it all squared away! Plenty of linens and pillows! We absolutely loved having our morning coffee and unwinding in the evenings on the porch. Would definitely come back & recommend to others!

Such a cute/cozy place. Felt like an entire mini vacay away from home even if we're locals about half an hr up the street! :) We had a great stay of aunties, teens & kids; a total of 11 staying 3 nights. Clean exquisite place, inside & out, found the outside shower very nifty to rinse off after coming back from the sandy beach with my kid only within steps away! The wide roomy porch was a great family hang-out on calming wine nights. A few lights down & we were able to grab last min items from 'The Big Store' of Crystal Beach. Smooth check-in- SUPER host, we forgot an apple watch & host responded in mins to help retrieve it. Success! We had a blast, overall. BOOK here, start making memories. I'm so happy we did!

Communication via text was immediate. We got to the rental before check in and was allowed to park our car in the driveway saving us from going down to the public beach. That was very much appreciated. This is our 2nd visit to this property and we love it!

Gorgeous, spacious, perfect location

We absolutely loved our stay. The home is sparkling clean and very spacious. The full-size laundry amenities were a huge help. The kitchen is well-outfitted with every possible cooking utensil. Coffee maker is k-cup only. The large deck was perfect for morning coffees and evening drinks. The walk to the beach is less than 100 yds. We enjoyed the smoker/grill as well. Honestly everything was perfect, and the guest contact was very responsive and quick to answer questions.
