Thanksgiving 2024 Family Beach Vacation
We had the best time in this beautiful home. Of all of the homes we've stayed in on Crystal Beach, this was the best stocked with everything we needed. Shelly was a super host and quickly responded to every text and email message. We enjoyed our beach time. While it was too cool for most to swim it was the best for relaxing near the water and taking long walks. A perfect 5 from us!

Our family of 10 adults enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach house. the beds were comfortable and accommodations were great. the owners are friendly and attentive to any questions presented. the kitchen was well supplied with what was needed to eat, cook, bake, etc. we like the large dining table. we liked all the nicely decorated bedrooms being on the same level. the lift was great for getting ice chest, luggage, food to the main floor. close proximity to the beach with a golf cart or walking was good. the cornhole boards added excitement to our days. We encourage others to come!

20/10 RECOMMEND!!!
Our stay here was a 20/10, hands down the best house we’ve stayed at for our yearly family vacation with a group of 8. We will rent this place every time if we have the opportunity! They lacked absolutely nothing! From beach chairs to a high chair for our toddler. Childproof from top to bottom. The check in and check out process was a breeze. The owners were wonderful from start to finish! Blenders in the kitchen, blenders in the bar area downstairs. Bluetooth speaker downstairs for you to listen to your favorite music while you mix your virgin daiquiris for the teenagers. 😂 Corn hole, washers, super nice HUGE tv with starlink WiFi! Each room was even set up with phone chargers. These people know how to treat guests! Bathrooms were fully stocked, even had extra razors and toothbrushes in case you forget. I mean, literally the only thing to make this place any better would have been an ice machine to fill our coolers and a built in chef 😂 Thank you for making our family vacation stress free! ❤️ We will suggest this place to anyone who asks! You guys set a new standard of expectations for us, no doubt about it.

Surpassed Expectations
We have stayed at numerous beach properties over the past 20 plus years. This one surpassed them all. Primarily due to the extras provided, like beach towels, chairs, a boogie board, games of all kinds, excellent wifi, and the video console for the "kids". We had a great time and wished it could have been longer to enjoy it all.

Great for families!
We enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and decorated! It had everything we needed for a family stay. Everything was very well thought out and the owners made sure things were easily explained as far as how things worked. The down stairs patio area was great fun. The bar setup made us feel like we were in our own hangout! We would stay there again in the future!

Spacious and comfortable
Wonderful location just a block off the beach. Great view of the shore, so even washing dishes was a pleasure because of the kitchen window view. The great room had plenty of seating for the family to watch the gigantic TV together. Fabulous eating space and fully equipped kitchen. Anything you might need for cooking is there. Beds were very comfortable. The classic video arcade table was a blast, and the cornhole, giant Jenga, and other games on the patio were great outdoor play. Wireless charging docks by beds. Even upper bunk beds had USB ports available. Beautiful decor, would love to stay here again. Highly recommended!
