We had such an amazing stay at the lazy coconut house. My husband and I took our college age, children and their friends which equal eight people total and we had such a great time. It was cold on our visit so we spent a couple of days inside and we were never crowded or felt on top of each other. The house was big spacious and everybody had lots of room. The two refrigerators came in handy for drinks and food. Little touches like charging stations in each room and a huge comfy couch was such a plus! We will definitely be staying again!!!

We loved our stay at the Lazy Coconut! It was the perfect house for our group. The check in process was easy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house was super clean and the beds were comfortable. We had an issue with the washing machine, but the host was very quick to get it resolved. Awesome hosts and great communication!

Amazing Stay

A large group of us checked in to the rental house for the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, exactly as described, and furnished with extras (beach toys, cookware, etc.). There was plenty of space for all of us, and we were in walking distance of the beach. The location of the house was in a quiet area and on a nice part of the beach.

Great location for our family vacation

Loved the property, the beach views, stocked kitchen supplies, and the gate around the bottom really provided peace of mind with our 2 year old. The cleaning details could have been improved (long dark hairs strewn around the bathrooms, dead flys in windowsills, trash under the bunkbeds and in the couch from previous renters). Overall an A+ rental. Definitely recommend and may book again!

Great stay..

Comfortable beds, cold a/c, quick walk to beach. I tried contacting the host via the VRBO app but didn’t get a reply. The master shower and sink were stopped up, or slow to drain. Other than that, great time.

Great location and great space

This house is in a great location. Easy to walk to and from the beach. (We rented a golf cart because it’s fun to drive up and down the beach.) The three bedrooms are large and provide plenty of space for kids. The living room and dinning area a big and provide lots of seating for family. There are 4-5 boogie boards and 4 chairs you can use for the beach. The house also 4-6 beach towels that can be used as well.

Highly Recommend!

There were 4 adults and 4 kids on our stay and we had more than enough room! The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, as well as the beds! It was equipped with everything we needed. One minor thing is that I wish the power lift worked, but not a dealbreaker, as I plan to stay here again the next time we visit Crystal Beach. One thing to note for safety reasons, my dad noticed some of the bottom steps were very loose (as did the rest of us) and he wanted me to note that they may need to be fixed/replaced. Otherwise, it was very close to the beach, quiet, clean, etc. can’t say enough good about the house!

Perfect Getaway

Every year my husband and I take our 6 kids and 3 of my nephew & niece with us to our family vacation. This was our first year at the house as well as the first time being just us two adults with so many kids/teenagers. Everyone loved the house! The two fridges and ice trays inside each one was a big plus for us since we cook big amounts of food. The house was more spacious than what we expected from seeing the pictures which was perfect. The bedrooms all had big closets and plenty of storage. All the kids loved their beds they said they were soft and comfortable. Only downside for us was that their is only two bathrooms in the house with us being so many. And the downstairs shower water only came out hot. Unless we were doing something wrong. The house was close to the beach a couple of times we walked to and from the beach. It was about a block or less. But overall we loved the house and definitely recommend it. Only recommendation for the owners would be that if they had a complete downstairs bathroom it would be a great addition for those big families. It would beat having to go upstairs when you are at the beach

Check in

It would have been helpful to have a phone number contact to the owner or property management before arrival. We were locked out for 40 minutes because the owner didn’t update the new lock box code on the website and failed to notify us that it changed, if the neighbor hadn’t come to our rescue we would have been locked out in the heat for more than 2 hours because that’s how long it took for someone to contact us with the property managers phone number. The owner only supplied an email and never ever emailed me back even after the owner called them, they could have at least emailed back that they were sorry for the inconvenience. The property manager did contact us about a power outage and kept us informed about updates about how long the power would be out, unfortunately it was off a lot longer than just a few hours it was off all night til 7am the next morning so our last night was very hot and miserable which made it very hard to sleep. The house was super nice as well as the area and very comfortable and spacious other than those 2 issues we had a great time.

The house and property was gorgeous inside and out. Very clean!!! All we had to do was bring our food and clothes. Check in was very easy as well as check out. Our host was amazing, very helpful. We will definitely book again in the future!!
