Everything you could hope for in a beach vacation!
The house is lovely - decorated in a modern, minimalistic way; so it is perfect for those of us who don’t love the traditional “beach house” decor. The air conditioner worked exceptionally well! We’ve stayed in several different beach houses over the years, and have rarely (if ever) found one that stayed cool during the day - until now! The house has a stand alone ice maker and mini drink fridge (in addition to the full size refrigerator/freezer/ice dispenser), which were so valuable to have during our vacation. The location is PERFECTION. The community pool is absolutely beautiful, and HUGE. Being able to swim while watching/listening to the ocean was amazing and so relaxing! The private beach access was great, and brings you to a place on the beach that isn’t packed with other people. We rented a golf cart for the week from a local company, which added to our experience. We had such a wonderful week! This house was PERFECT for our family trip, which included several families, and ages 3-70. If you’re looking for a beach house that feels modern and serene, this is it!

Nice location. No response from house maintenance. Dishwasher did not work. Disappointing!
Great location. House was somewhat clean. Door lock doesn’t work. House not locked on arrival. Keys would not work. Dishwasher does not work. When reported no response from maintenance. Promised but never delivered. No hand towels, cup towels or hot pads. Experience with house fair at best. There is no vacuum to clean up sand on floors. Ceiling fans are filthy. TV was hard to figure. There needs to be instructions. I cannot express enough how disappointed I am with the house management team on their lack of response. I am requesting a call back and expect some compensation for the frustration, inconvenience and taking time from my vacation for all the hand washing of dishes I had to do for 14 people! Stand by your word or do not advertise how good you are. This was my first time to use you and most likely my last. Disappointed in you!

We stayed in the Once Upon a Tide home from June 23-27. Crystal Beach was a first for us and overall we enjoyed the location. Things are fairly close so getting to grocery stores and other shops and restaurants are not much of a trip. There is more beach traffic, but the location is far enough east that it is light. The development: Seagrass is actually a nice layout with protective entry and a centralized infinity pool that overlooks the beach. Our family loved the pool as it was clean, the water temperature was perfect and there are nice shaded pool chair areas and clean bathrooms on site. We also felt the Seagrass property management to be fairly present to address any concerns we had. The house: Our first impression unfortunately was not good. We entered the house to realize that the air conditioning was not on or turned way up. We opened the dishwasher and there were dirty dishes. After inspection of the dishes already put up, many still had residual food that never washed off or lipstick stains on glasses. The claim is that it is a gourmet kitchen. It is not. Fairly cheap utensils, a cheese grater that was so small that grating the least amount of cheese plugged it up. In a world where people are paying good money to escape stress and vacation, the first impression was not good. Items like trash bags, dishwasher pods, paper towels and toilet paper were visibly rationed. No hot pads for lifting hot pots and pans. And fairly antiquated appliances other than the built-ins. All the trash bins were full and the smell was bad. This appears to be a common theme after reading prior reviewers. Granted maybe trash was supposed to be picked up on Wednesday and our Thursday arrival threw the process off, but still, need to have a plan for managing that as 18 people eating all meals there generates a lot of trash and we had no where to put.it. Also minimal beach towels or beach chairs. Also seems like a disconnect between the people managing the development and the people managing the homes. We overall had a great week, and the home itself is beautiful and clean and was very updated. The owners just need to put a little more money in the things all people need when they get there to function. And when you walk in the door you don't want to walk into a place that is hot and needs dishes put up. I gave the overall experience 4 stars because it is not a bad place by any means. Just some attention to small details.
