Fantastic house on the beach. Kitchen, Beds, Baths…all wonderful. Most comfortable beds I’ve stayed at in a while. Love the main floor master en-suite and extra half bath. Very clean! Large yard with gate opening to beach was convenient. We come often to this area and always stay in Mark’s properties.

Great Beach Access and View House!

This house was the perfect choice for us, other than all the stairs for my elderly mother and dog. (I didn't think about looking for a house with a ramp). The house is so close to the beach that we could go in and out often to seek shade or food, showering off the sand in the outdoor shower first, which was so awesome! Thankfully there were grass paths beside the fenced yard since the drop off from the fenced yard gate to the beach was pretty steep for the kiddos, grandma and dog. The clean house and comfortable beds made for restful nights and the concierge service was a gamechanger! They delivered all of our groceries and firewood with no issues and offered to bring anything else we might need; huge help! The patios to sit and watch the waves with no obstruction was by far our favorite sitting areas at all times of the day. There were beach toys and chairs for us to use but were pretty dirty and just thrown into the garage uncaringly, but with some time digging through them and cleaning them off with the provided water hose, we were able to use them along with the ones we brought. Even with the high winds we had, we were able to start a fire in the deep firepit and have a fun smores night, but we never took advantage of the spa provided, although the water looked very clean. Overall, we truly enjoyed this beach house and will consider booking this house first if we even return to Crystal Beach!

The property is beautiful. Right on the beach. Great amenities, we cooked every night and the kitchen is equipped with all you will need. The beds are nice and comfortable. The views from both balconies are breathtaking. Contact with the host couldn’t have been any better. Will definitely rent again!

Hidden Gem!!

Wow! What an amazing location. We absolutely loved our stay. Plenty of space for 3 adults, a one year old and 2 dogs. We loved the proximity to the ocean and the fact that there were no neighbors right next to us. Having the yard was wonderful for the dogs and we loved the gate access to the beach directly from the yard. My husband also loves to get out early and fish but has so much gear he takes his truck to the beach and the beach access for vehicles was right around the corner. We all talked about how we would be back! I’m already thinking about it and how we rent again. Wonderful stay, very clean, beautiful - would highly recommend. 10/10.

Wonder weekend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beach house! It went above and beyond our expectations. The house was very clean and comfortable. The fenced in yard was perfect for our children. It was so easy to get to and from the beach. We love how you provided shampoo conditioner and body wash. Thank y’all for being wonderful hosts!

The Best Beach Vacation!!!

The house is beautiful! The location couldn’t have been any better. It was very private without any close next door neighbors. I chose this location because it was beachfront and had a fenced yard for my pups. The corn hole game, hot tub, and fire pit were a big hit with my family. The home was clean and well cared for. Having a bedroom on the main floor with a walk in shower was perfect for me since I have some mobility issues. Plenty of space for extended family too. The owners/property management were quick to answer any questions and to help in any way. I wish that I could have stayed longer. This is our favorite vacation that we have Ever had!! Thank you so much!
