Everything was as described. Check in was smooth. Would recommend calling to speak with someone about any issues rather than using the messaging feature.
House was beautiful and well stocked. We loved the location and enjoyed our stay. The outdoor tiki bar was a perfect place to hang out after a long day at the beach.
Very first time we have ever visited Crystal Beach We had a great experience at the Tiki House! Check in was smooth. The home was clean with tons of amenities. Lots of living spaces. Beaches are super clean. Very Small misunderstanding with the golf cart rental but thanks to the very quick responses from a very professional team, we were fixed up and ready to go! Highly highly recommend this property. We will return!
