The house had everything! Location was top notch. We could sit on the balcony and watch the beach and it was a super easy walk to the water. The host was incredibly responsive and communication was a breeze. The number of beds was great for our group and the layout was perfect. Also - they were very well stocked with appliances, cookware and utensils, and so much more. I would definitely stay here again!

Sharon and Andy are amazing hosts!!!! They checked on us as we arrived to make sure that everything met our expectations. The communication before we arrived was awesome and they were always really quick to respond. This was our 2nd trip to their home to celebrate Christmas with 4 generations. There is plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen has all of the things that we needed. And of course, we would return again.

Our stay exceeded our expectations in so many ways!! The house was the perfect size for our family of 13, there was plenty of room for us all!! The home was clean! clean! and the decor was ideal for what our idea of a beachy vacation should be. The kitchen was well equipped right down to the ocean themed coffee mugs (very nice touch). Can’t beat the ocean front location!! We hope to bring our family back here for many years to come!!

This house was great for our trip. Group of 14 and we had plenty of room for everyone.the house was clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and everyone having utensils to eat. The bedrooms were comfortable. The best part is the location. We were right on the beach, which was veryConvenient with kids. People could go back up to the house as needed while we stayed on the beach. The patio was alot a great space to relax and watch the water and beach-goers in the evenings. Overall this house fit our needs great for the trip with plenty of space and all the neccessities.

Looking forward to next time.

Though we were unable to stay due to weather and loss of power to the island, we look forward to rescheduling at Fishy Business. Sharon was a pleasure to coordinate with and extremely helpful when things didn't go our way with weather and power. We look forward to scheduling with her in the future.

Beautiful & Perfect Location

Love this property. It is the perfect distance from the beach and yet still in the middle of the happening spots. Quick run to the store or to eat. The porch has the perfect view of all the fun and excitement happening below at the water. The only thing I wish was different was direct beach access. But that’s minor and not really in anyone’s control. I love that there was one bedroom downstairs and the rest were upstairs!!! All the amenities that you could think of are all there and available. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!

Perfect for the whole family!

This beach house is by far the best experience we’ve had while staying at Crystal Beach, and my family and I have been coming here for years. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably with no issues, huge kitchen for cooking and not to mention the STUNNING view from the couch. Sitting on the couch in the living room felt like you were sitting on the balcony. Sharon was fantastic to work with and got us in very last minute due to issues with a previous rental. She made sure we were taken care of. My whole family fell in love with this property, we will definitely be back!

Absolutely Perfect!

We had a large group of 13 adults & 7 kids! Which is very hard to accommodate for and this property did just that!! There was PLENTY of room for all of us to be comfortable inside & outside. The pictures are exactly what the house looks like and when they say beach front it should actually say “on the beach” because that is what it truly is! We do beach trips every year and this has been the best house we’ve found for our group and with all of the amenities! It’s super close to all of the stores without feeling like you are in the middle of town. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to check this property out!

Perfect!!

My daughter and her boyfriend had their first date at the beach 5 years ago and when he decided to propose, he chose to return to where it first began.I reached out to the owners of this property and confirmed this home would be perfect for our needs! Friends drove down from Virginia and Tennessee for the occasion, as well as, family from Tyler, Tx and Cypress, Tx. The accommodations were awesome for the large group. Two balconies overlooking the water, beautiful kitchen and huge pantry were perfect for planning and serving meals.We could not have found anything more appropriate for such a special occasion.The house has everything we needed and the decor is wonderful and beachy! Thank you for sharing your home!

Family Christmas Celebration

We gathered 3 generations to celebrate Christmas and this was the perfect setting. The bedroom on the main level was perfect for the 85 year old grandparents and then the 4 bedrooms on the top level were great for sleeping the other 2 generations. Plenty of actual beds (I don't like it when someone has to sleep in the living area on a pull-out couch and this home can sleep 20 in actual beds. The view from the living room couch was AMAZING!!!! We loved the view of the beach. The living area of the home was perfect for playing games, sharing meals, and just hanging out. Sharon and Andy were great hosts and checked on us shortly after we checked in to be sure that everything was good and to see if there was anything that was needed. We would definetly stay here again!!!
