Amazing place to stay. Perfect for the kids! They have so much beach stuff for you to use that normally, other homes do not offer. Definitely worth every penny!

Amazing Stay!

Such a great experience! I took a group of girls to celebrate my daughters birthday and it was great! It has everything you could think of needing and more! No need to bring anything! The girls loves the outside shower and the quick walk to the beach and awesome balcony!!

Perfection!

We went to crystal beach for a girls trip and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. It was so close to the beach, the patio has the BEST breeze, and the house layout was prefect. I love that there’s a diving door between the living room and the bedrooms. We had one friend who went to bed early, so it was nice to close off that section and not have to whisper. The beds were extremely comfortable and I love that there was a box fan in each room. The other thing I loved about this house was that it is the first house I’ve ever stayed in at the beach that didn’t sway with the wind. For some reason, I’m very sensitive to that, and I didn’t notice that a single time. We can’t wait to come stay here again!!

Paradise

It was wonderful from the minute we stepped in. The pictures do not do it justice! The a/c was perfect. The mattresses are brand new and we slept soundly. There are plenty of dishes for cooking. It was a very safe neighborhood and quiet and clean. Very close walk to the beach but we chose to rent a golf cart and their are plenty near by. The bathrooms had nice rugs and towels and shampoo. A very nice outdoor shower down stairs. There are good restaurants near by my favorite was Stingarees. Eat upstairs at Singarees! The owners of the property answered any question promptly.
