Perfect getaway

Everything was great. The pool was amazing. We loved the outdoor kitchen on the second floor for lunches. All full size beds were comfortable. The only thing that might be a problem for others was beds...it will not sleep 17 adults...it will sleep 12 adults and 5 small children.

Girl’s Beach Trip

The property was located in a great place and within walking distance of the beach. There were twelve of us and the house was plenty big. The kitchen is fully stocked and we cooked and grilled for the three days that we were there. The pool is fabulous and we enjoyed it very much!

Fabulous home with lovely pool!

Our family enjoyed this property so much! The 2nd floor outdoor kitchen and deck/social area is just amazing. The house had plenty of room and the open kitchen/dining/living area worked well for us to all be together. The bunk beds in the two queen rooms are on the small side, but perfect for kids. There are a lot of steps since the kitchen is on the top floor, but we still loved it. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. We would go back here in a heartbeat!

Great getaway for a week!

Our family had a great time at Shore Blessed Beach House! I only wish we had another week to enjoy it more. The house is beautiful, and we had everything we needed. The pool was amazing on the very hot days! Beautiful pool! Short walk to the beach and it was great too except the previous storms bringing in jelly fish! Never seen that many jelly fish in my life. But that’s nature. It was a wonderful week!

Nice Beach Stay, but water was on and off

The property is nice. We had water pressure issue from the beginning. The property manager tried to help. It would work sometimes and sometimes not. I have asked for a refund of some of the rental and I'm still waiting. Otherwise we had a fun.

Great house and location

Stayed here with family (grandpa down to infant grandchild and two dogs). All of us agreed the pictures didn't do it justice. The pool and outdoor kitchen were amazing. Easy check in; quick response about dogs joining when I inquired. Quick walk to beach. Only cons (and these are nit-picky - was a great stay and we'd book again): as others say, it gets cold on second floor and hot on top floor. Separate thermostats would be ideal. Some shade around pool would be great. (umbrellas or a pergola or the like). And, as others said, lots of climbing stairs - good workout though.

Crystal Beach Family Vacation

The property location was good not too far from beach. The pool was perfect for the kids, the pool lights did not work, which was a big selling point for the adults. The garbage can at the pool was completely full with empty beer cans. There was a propane leak, which was looked at the next day. Ice machine on 2nd deck was not working, and has not been. The hammock and swings were broken, chairs by firepit were broken and cushions on deck were damaged. Again, this place could be perfect, just needed some TLC.

Yearly family vacation

Loved this home, even though it was 5th from the beach, we had great views. The pool was wonderful! Bedrooms were spaced out well for privacy, a roomy home. Suggestions: : umbrellas on or near the pool, it needs more shading. Also, a Keurig coffee pot would be a better choice. We didn’t mind climbing the stairs, it was good exercise. The 2 kitchens on different levels is a really smart idea. Convenient. Two separate families can be on each level. Cute Beach decor inside, very tasteful. Was nice having extra kids toys. Thank you, we had a good trip & will be back!

Definitely Planning a Return Trip

Amazing property just a block away from the beach! Very well supplied and comfortable home, even including beach towels! The pool and hot tub were perfect wind down amenities after a day at the beach. Just be sure to plan on bringing or picking up bath soap and toilet paper if you have a large group. Only criticism is the alarm that beeped multiple times in the middle of the night. Property instructions say just enter a code to turn it off, but don't indicate that it is "enter the code 2x every 20 minutes from 3:30 to 5a on Saturday nights..."
