Family Vacay
100% Perfect for us. Precious home that accommodated our large family overnight as well as some coming and going. This home had everything we could possibly think of needing and is just what I wanted in a getaway. The entire process was a breeze and we so did not want to leave! I’m pretty picky and germs bother me and I was happy as can be here. Stop looking; this is your perfect spot by the beach, close enough to see, hear and walk to the beach, but off enough to not have the beach traffic🙌🙌🙌

This place was just perfect for us. From DIY pizzas to self serve bar areas. Communication with property manager was quick and helpful. Bring bug spray as we forgot ours and regretted it big time.

Wonderful Getaway!
This house is absolutely gorgeous! The owners have thought of everything when it comes to providing an amazing vacation for renters! They have every single thing you can think of when it comes to the kitchen! We didn’t need to bring anything. They even had coffee stocked for us for the coffee maker! The house decorations are so adorable! The beds were SUPER comfortable! Plenty of room for everyone in the family to sleep. We brought our own golf cart, but even if you don’t have one, the beach is just a few steps away!! Perfect location and we will be staying here again for sure!!

Perfect location to the beach. Easy access to the beach. Beach is in walking distance from the home. Great view of the beach from the upper deck. The home is well designed, looked new, met all of our needs. We will stay here again and will recommend the home to our family and friends.

Love love love!
What a perfect rental for the weekend on Crystal Beach. Super clean and super cute. Great views of the ocean waves from the balcony and access to the beach is literally a two minute walk. The house makes great use of the space with two bedrooms with king size beds and one room with oversized bunk beds. So many amenities including a faux fireplace for ambience, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, a large ice maker, and even a bar area both upstairs and down. Also the house is in a great location with super close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and grocery store. We also rented a golf cart from Texas Custom Carts that was so much fun and so easy with delivery and pick up. I definitely plan to stay here again. I absolutely loved this rental.

Disappointed
It was a disappointment to have to pay for a cleaning fee only to arrive at a dirty home. The floors were covered with dirt and sand and had multiple sticky spills all over the living room floor as if it has not been swept or mopped. That’s not appropriate at all, but especially not when you have small infants crawling around. There were multiple dirty dishes and multiple towels that had mold stains on them. The internet didn’t work the first night so they were able to reset it fairly quickly. The second night it went out again so I reached out but never (and still have not) received any response. The pictures are also deceiving as far as size. Not impressed and won’t be renting this house again in the future.

Great Beach House!
We enjoyed this beach house very much! It was beautiful and clean inside and out. The online pictures they posted are exactly what you get. You can see the water from the balcony and it is a very short walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart for added convenience. The management company was great and responded quickly to any questions we had. We got lucky and we're able to check in early so we were able to get extra beach time on the first day. The house has everything you need. We were really surprised with the additional things they included with the house: dish detergent, laundry detergent, bounce sheets, dish soap, hand soap, foil, ice machine, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags. We did have to buy a little more toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags, but not much at all. We've stayed at other houses that didn't include anything extra, so this was a really nice touch. The bunk beds are full size which was great. The other two bedrooms were very comfortable king size mattresses. Both bathrooms were very nice and the master bath soaker tub with shower handle was a nice touch. The balcony is huge! There is also a bar on the balcony and downstairs which was a really cool feature. We really liked that they gave access to the garage. It was nice to keep our beach stuff locked up safe at night. The only complaint was the construction happening directly in front of us. They are building a house, so in the daytime it was loud and dusty. This obviously isn't the owners fault and once it's complete, I suspect it will be peaceful and relaxing on the balcony. We would definitely rent again.
