Jun 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice and spacious beach home. This was our third house to rent this year and will be the only house we rent in the future if still available. The top deck seats 22 people and the lower deck with a hot tub seats 14 people. Very spacious and comfortable through out the house. The owners have went above and beyond to make sure you have a very modern comfortable stay. ##### Britt M.

Jennifer is a great host. She sent all the information we would need before we arrived. After we checked in to her home she reached out to make sure everything was as expected. The home is beautiful and has everything needed for a perfect beach vacation. Everyone in our family is ready to go back and stay in this home again. ##### JULIE f.

Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Communication couldn’t be better We were supposed to stay here but Hurricane Beryl had other plans. The hostess communicated so well with us through the week and immediately refunded us our money once we realized power would be out the majority of the stay. We will not have to look any further for a Crystal Beach rental in the future, this is our place! ##### Morgan D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam C. Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Getaway Our family loved this beautiful home! The decor alone gives you all the beachy feelings. The views and wrap around porch were great for hanging out and eating. The walk to the beach was easy and quick. Our kiddos had a blast playing in the sand. We rented a tent, chairs and umbrella from a vendor - great decision and great service. The area was well patrolled so no safety concerns. The house provided great features from the pod coffee maker in addition to the regular coffee maker to all of the cookware. I would not hesitate one moment to reserve the house again. Jennifer and Mark were wonderful and always quick to respond. You can tell they take great pride in their rental and rightly so. Pura Vida! ##### Pam C.
