Property was exactly as described and very close walking distance to the beach. The rooms are well designed and the open layout made it easy to fix meals and spend time with everyone. Also easy walking distance to a coffee shop and restaurant nearby if you don't want to cook.

Reviewer Comments:
Crystal Castle is a spacious house, well appointed, with a generous compliment of dishware, cookware and kitchen utensils. The property appears to be well maintained and was very clean when we arrived.This location is much closer to the beach access than it initially appears. A very easy walk to the beach.Each bedroom has its own bathroom, very nice and convenient. Beds are large and comfortable. The HVAC systems worked well, keeping the house cool at all times.The Frangista Beach Properties managers were prompt with texts and phone call making sure we were able to enter safely and that everything was suitable with the accommodations.We enjoyed our stay, and I highly recommend this property.

Reviewer Comments:
This house was absolutely perfect for our multi generational family trip! We had four different families staying here, and each room having a king sized bed, and its own en suite bathroom was terrific! The house itself was very clean, and was described accurately in both the listing and the pictures. We felt the location was excellent, as it was a super easy two minute walk to the nearest beach access. We had infants, toddlers, kids, and some senior citizens, and all were able to walk (or be walked in the case of the infant) to the beach. The beach was beautiful with powdery white sand, and beautiful clear, blue water. We also found the location convenient to most restaurants and shops, and never had more than a ten minute drive to go somewhere we wanted to go. Frangista was also absolutely wonderful to work with. They communicated very clearly, were prompt with their responses, checked in on us multiple times during our stay, and were extremely friendly and responsive. We would not hesitate to book this house again if we were to be in the area, and we would love to rent through Frangista again, as they were so professional and courteous.
