We had a wonderful stay. While things happen that are beyond the owners control, they were very accommodating and quick to address any issues we had. The home is beautiful and loved the accommodations available. The hosts provided toiletries, towels, and soaps. My husband’s only concern was the tv was broke in the bedroom (I prefer to sleep without tv), the only light that worked in first room was a table lamp. Other than those issues the house was great.
We only stayed 1 night but we had a great time. The house is beautiful and has what you need for a stay including body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. It’s about 5 rows from the beach so just a short walk. The hot tub was so relaxing It’s a very comfortable place. The hosts gave very quick responses to our texts. Just FYI, the golf cart is not included. It cost $125 extra to use it.
The house is beautiful and very clean. Pretty good view of the ocean and beach from the upper deck porch. I stayed for two weeks there and was a great place to get away while I was back in the states. The wifi could’ve been a little bit better but it got the job done for work. Karishma was awesome with communication and always got back to me within the hour of needing anything. I’m the future I will for sure be coming back if I’m in the area and in need of a place to stay. Thank you!
The house was beautiful, clean and convenient. We had a girls weekend and it was the perfect setting, white and beachy! Only thing I can complain about is the lack of amenities advertised… there were no games like listed, the Alexa home would not stay connected to play music and the TVs did not work. When I told the property manager about the TVs, I was told the previous tenant broke them but I was upset this was not communicated. We specifically booked for the hot tub and it would not heat above 95 and felt like bath water. We had also asked for the golf cart and were told it wasn’t available only at check in time so we had to ramble to find another, Crystal Beach Golf Carts saved the day! Host did communicate well, and tried to help fix the hot tub but it didn’t work. All in all, great stay but I think this property could do with quality check ups weekly or before/after each stay.
We had a great stay in this beautiful home! Only downside was the golf cart wasn’t accessible. We also didn’t get in the hot tub due to sand already in there. Other than those 2 things, the home is very spacious! We really enjoyed ourselves! Thanks
Communication is was great and responded fast to my questions. Nice quiet neighborhood. House was great and very clean. We had plenty of room for our group of 10. The walk in shower made it easy for us because we have a special needs child so it was easy to bath him. Downstairs was nice and quiet and has a good breeze at night so you don't get hot. We would definitely stay here again.

Don’t be deceived. Bugs bugs inside!!!In the pictures this looks like a well taken care of, well stocked house. Upon arrival the keys weren’t where they were supposed to be, we had to call the owner. The first night we were there, there were upwards of 50 bugs that we killed. Aunts in the kitchen, cockroaches in the sink, on the floor in the cabinets.. there was a tick crawling up the wall in my daughter’s room. We had to then wait for an exterminator on our vacation the next day. It was gross. My husband was injured on the property due to the horribly rusted drawer guide for the garbage cabinet.. we struggled to get it pulled in and out and it was so rusted it broke and fell on his foot. The owner could care less. If you are planning a beach vacation, you had better bring ALL of your own stuff. No umbrellas, no chairs no anything. And I wouldn’t let my children touch their sand toys they are disgusting Thank God we brought all of our own stuff. No shampoo, or coffee as advertised. The towels are the cheapest dollar store towels they could have possible bought and if you don’t want to sleep on a mattress that feels like it had been taken from the side of the road and put on the bed I would not suggest staying here. Don’t be deceived by the “golf cart on site” you will pay and extra premium for it. Turns out I did my research after the fact and the local rentals are cheaper. We have rented a beach house every year and we would never rent from these people again.
This is very cute, cozy, & spacious vacation beach house. Very convenient golf cart ride to the beach the family loved being together and we enjoyed our stay. The host was just a text away when we needed them. You will love staying here.
