Cute house, amazing location!!!

House is super cute! From the back balcony, you can see the beach, our stay was so amazing. There is a book in this house about hurricane Ike and when it hit crystal beach, it was nice to be able to read a little history about the island.

Perfect for just 2 or 2 adults with children. Even though the walk is not far, we enjoyed renting a golf cart to get "stuff" to the beach and just riding around.

Jellyfish fun

We had a great time. The house is very cute, cozy and welcoming. Its close to the beach within walking distance. The beach is absolutely beautiful except for the jellyfish that was trying to get me to play and stung me. Still a great time. We'll definitely be back with our grown kids and grandchildren.

42nd Anniversary weekend

The cottage was great. We enjoyed our stay and everything was in order when we arrived. The HVAC worked that was a plus for the heat and humidity. We were able to set on the porches and watch the fireworks up and down the entire beach. We would definitely rent again for our stay. But I would most likely rent a cart or bring my UTV to drive the beach instead of using my truck. 👍🏼😎

Nice little place for a quick wedding weekend on the peninsula. It was close to the wedding venue, ferries, and not to far from groceries. Quick communication with the rental contact. Within walking distance of the beach.

Cool beach spot

Really great little vacay spot. Conviently located super close to the beach, stores and food!! Loved the outdoor shower for easy cleanup after the beach. House was nice and super cute. Two decks to enjoy a shady spot to relax any time of day. Lots of stuff for cooking at the house. Owner was great to deal with, easy to contact and very nice. Overall experience was great, my kids loved it!
