The best

This family trip revolved around my father who suffers with Parkinson's and Dementia. All stair openings have gates and lift was handy. First floor provided access to one bedroom, kitchen, LR and laundry. Plenty of room inside and out. Beach access was easy. Everything needed was supplied. I highly recommend this place. Communications with property POC was easy when needed.

House was clean and well stocked. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Location was perfect. Host was very friendly and helpful. The area was beautiful but not the best for fishing in October. The actual fenced in area for dogs is just a small portion of the yard but still adequate.

Stop looking and start booking!! We have stayed at multiple homes here on crystal beach and this home was the cream of the crop. Everything you need and want.Just pack your clothes and head out, everything else is right here waiting for you to enjoy a home away from home. Great location, lots of room, super clean, pet friendly, and a relaxing hot tub. The host (Mark) and (Amanda) were great and were there instantly if you needed anything. We will definitely be coming back!!

The house is great. Comfortable. The kitchen is perfect for cooking up breakfast before a day of fishing and our catch at the end of the day. Ample seating at the large table means we can enjoy our meals together and play games before lights out. But honestly we spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the sites and sounds of the Gulf of America.

We will not return. Issues we had:Downstairs toilet kept running after flushing. We had to lift tank lid and adjust each time.The “elevator” was not a true elevator, as it did not go to second floor of home. As a result, my husband and I had to sleep in the bunk room downstairs, as we have bad knees. This was not clearly stated in the description of the home.The lift has frayed cables. Definitely not safe!Ants and roaches in the house.The deck area has seen better days. Very run down, and not well maintained.Ice maker did not work.Oven was dirty. After baking a pizza, the oven smoked the entire downstairs.
