Awesome Deck, Sleeps 10 fenced yard! Pet & kid friendly!
Anchors Away is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath beach house in the heart of Crystal Beach, designed for families and groups who want comfort, space, and easy walkability. The home features two king bedrooms (including a private master suite with a tile walk-in shower and rain shower head) plus a third bedroom with two twin-over-full bunk beds. The second bathroom has a tub/shower combo, and a stackable washer/dryer makes longer stays easy. The open living area has comfortable seating and Roku TVs, and the kitchen is well equipped with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and both Keurig and drip coffee makers (please bring your own seasonings and oil). Beds are made with fresh linens and towels are provided. Outside, enjoy a fenced yard with a play set, a shaded bar and grill area under the house with a charcoal grill, plus an enclosed outdoor shower and an additional downstairs shower for rinsing off. You’re on a quiet street with no heavy drive-to-beach traffic, yet close to The Big Store, restaurants, coffee, and doughnuts (short walk or golf cart ride). Beach access is quick and simple, and you’ll need a personal vehicle to get around. Parking on the beach requires a $10 permit (available at The Big Store). Due to the height above ground, there is a little movement in the house.
