This house is beautiful and very clean. The yard for your pets is huge, giving them plenty of room to run and play. The indoor/covered parking was a real plus. We were about a 2 minute walk from the beach. We will definitely be back.
House was very clean, the house had everything we needed. View of the beach was perfect. Brought our pups with us and they loved the large fenced in yard. We definitely will be coming back to this house.

Beware!! This property appears lovely in online photos; however, it needs maintenance and has mold on the air conditioner ceiling vents, baseboards and one bathroom wall. The owner nor the management company seem to think it’s a problem but do not let your vacation be ruined by having the same experience we did. It’s so disappointing when businesses do not accept responsibility for their poor accommodations and service. The outdoor furniture is rusty and broken as well. We’ve stayed in Crystal beach for years but never at this property nor with Port Bolivar Resorts and will never make that mistake again. It’s not true that all properties at the beach have mold issues!! Heed the warning and book elsewhere!!
