Well long story short we originally had a different house but the first night there was horrible. I communicated with them about the experience and we were in this house the next morning. This house was a much better experience. We've been staying here in Crystal Beach for the past 4 years and I've never had an experience like that. But thankfully they made the process pretty pain free and we were able to come here and would definitely book here again.

The house smelled humid upon arrival and the internet didn’t work during our stay but host was very responsive and kind with dealing with it and my questions. Check-in/out was real easy and distance from beach was perfect, not to far and not to close

Excellent location with great views! For a house meant to sleep 10, the space could use some larger cookware to accommodate group meals. House is clean but starting to show its age. Overall we would stay again!

The house was beautiful and was super convenient to get to the beach. The house is very close to the beach and offers a pretty view of the sky. The living room is cozy and nice to hangout in. The house was very welcoming with sugar and coffee k cups left to welcome us. Lots of towels and provided shampoo and conditioner. Easy to clean counters and working stove. Lovely tub and friendly showers.

Our family of 15 had such an amazing time at this breathtaking place. My favorite part of this house was the proximity to the beach. Everything was nice and clean with plenty of space for everyone. Surrounding areas were peaceful! I will say there is hardly any stores to do heavy grocery shopping so we prepared ahead of time and grabbed everything we needed beforehand. The Host was communicative about the washer not working but offered laundry services during our stay. We didn’t need laundry services thankfully, but it was appreciated. 10/10 recommend this home, great memories were created!

We had a great, comfortable stay with adequate accommodations and fantastic location with close beach access. Management team was extremely responsive during our stay. Would 100% stay again! A few things to note: Pots/ pans were disjointed and serving dishes/ utensils were limited. Plenty of cooking/ grill utensils, but only 8 or so plates, forks, and spoons. No beach chairs or beach toys for guests to utilize. Coffee maker didn’t work, would only get cups of discolored water. Limited toilet paper and trash bags despite our length of stay. Significant Wi-Fi issues, but strong cellular signal at this location.

House has a lot of beds and clean. Location is great walking right out to the beach. The house might need to some better maintenance. I think host should be more responsive. I asked 2 questions in Airbnb message and non of them were answered. We called one time and no one picked up the phone. My husband texted one time and finally one question was answered.
