Absolutely Perfect Retreat

This beachfront property is well-maintained, in an excellent location and just perfect for your retreat. We just spent our honeymoon there and while it was beachfront it was secluded enough for privacy. Could not have enjoyed it more and will definitely rent this property again!

Very Relaxing.

We enjoyed being close to the beach and setting on the balcony to enjoy the view. It was very restful. Also, enjoyed the ping pong table. We had a great time. We hope to visit again soon.

Great getaway

We just returned from our quick getaway from this beautiful property and location! Amy the host was very responsive to any questions and helpful during our stay. The home had everything we needed and a game room/garage downstairs for the kids to keep them busy. The beach was steps away from the home and restaurants/food easily accessible nearby. We look forward to staying at the property again in the future!

Just what we needed

Everything about the stay was just what i was looking for, Super close to the beach with easy access and comfortable accommodations for my family. The house was fully stocked and had everything that we needed for our week stay.The host was responsive and really nice. We had a threat of a hurricane/tropical storm when we stayed and she made sure that we were informed and taken care of. 100% recommend.

Family Beach Easter Weekend Vacation

Perfect beach home for family of 6. 2 bedrooms with double queens was perfect for growing kids. Master king was nice. All bathrooms nice with plenty of towels. View on the deck was amazing with coffee in the morning and to hunt Easter eggs. Kitchen was perfect for cooking with large family,Well stocked. Good water pressure and great AC and fans. Downstairs play area was so much fun for the kids. Shower to rinse off was helpful. Ping pong table net and other doors to the outside rusted and unable to open but expects for to the air. Beach towels and sand toys provided. Crystal beach was busier than expected but it was a holiday weekend. Was a relaxing and fantastic Easter beach vacation. The children really loved with home. Thank you!

Welcome to Summer 2025

The location was perfect, the beds and the sofa were better than many places we’ve been to, and the game room was definitely a plus. The few issues were addressed by Amy and everything went off without a hitch. The space was perfect for the 8 of us and we are looking forward to coming back soon!

Great Place for a Family Reunion

Our stay at Crystal Beach was awesome!!! The owner, Amy, was a pleasure to work with, always very responsive to questions, etc. The accommodations were exactly as advertised. Although the cargo lift did not work, it also wasn't included in the amenities list (so not an issue). So come prepared to climb stairs with luggage! The views from the deck are spectacular with unobstructed views to the beach in both directions. Drinking coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise over the water was inspiring. Having a house "right on the beach" makes all the difference and is well worth the extra expense. We set up camp on the beach daily directly in front of the house so that folks on the deck could watch the folks on the beach. The walk between the two could not be any shorter.

I’ve rented at least 10 beach homes on Crystal beach. Best girls weekend trip I’ve ever had! Outside of good company and weather, this house was AMAZING! The beds are super comfy and I’m so grateful it wasn’t a room full of bunk beds. If you’re wanting to plan an adult trip or even older kiddos, this is your spot. Fully equip kitchen, gorgeous pots and pans, even had a crockpot. Amazing fridge, amazing A/C, amazing deck (shade and no shade option). The downstairs patio/game room was freaking awesome. Walk to the beach?… literally a hop, skip, and jump away. Plenty of beach towels available. Wonderful washer and dryer in the master bedroom. Great water pressure in the showers. I literally felt like I was at home. Views of the ocean were unobstructed. All the plugs outside worked (which is important and never happens in a lot of beach rentals). Not that you’d be inside, but if you were the TV is great and the couch is bomb! I will say with all this…I wished the lift worked! Us being all females that was a hard 5 trips up the stairs with luggage. Just be prepared you’ll have to carry a lot of stuff for a good 20 steps. Every step was worth it! Very clean, very comfy, very fun!!!! I’ll come back to this house every time, no hesitation!!! Oh and the host is also super responsive and makes sure you have whatever you need! Thank you for making this one heck of an experience!
