Just being able to sit outside and drink a cup (or 3 😜) of coffee in the mornings & watch the sunrise was absolutely amazing. Also, settling down in the afternoons, listening & watching the waves come in, there’s just nothing better!

They thought of everything we might need on our stay. There are sand buckets, boogie boards, beach towels, and chairs. Everything you might need for your beach trip. All the furniture was super comfortable and the place was spotless clean. We love that they allowed a pet for a small fee. Going to the beach is so much more enjoyable when your able to enjoy it with your furry friend. My kids absolutely loved the bunk room. They even thought to provide board games and little cubbies on the top bunks for electronics such as tablets. If you book with this family you will not be disappointed! ##### Amanda V.

We had a full house for the entire week! The house is well-designed, excellently decorated and well-equipped. I feel like they thought of everything and I must be honest they didn't skimp on anything. Lines were lovely, towels were quality and all of the kitchen equipment was in great condition. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillos and blankets to go around. They had a pack n play and a high chair, dishes for your littles and sippie cups as well! We enjoyed the upstairs porch and the downstairs area as well. This end of the peninsula is less crowded - which we loved...many days there were just a few people on the beach with us! The beach is lovely here, thick sand and most days gentle enough for the littles to be able to swim. There are not a lot of restaurants or activities around so be prepared to cook and have quality family time, which we prefer! The hosts were amazing. Quick to respond to any questions and genuinely interested in making our stay amazing! We will definitely stay here again! ##### Barbara C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roland B. May 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay We enjoyed our stay and this will be a preferred choice for future visits. The property is located on the eastern, more rural end of the peninsula: shortest of the two ingress routes, close to nature/wildlife attractions, and has the least populated beach. The house was clean, well furnished, and comfortable. Most appreciated was the large beach-facing deck: the front half is open to the sun with excellent deck chairs and lounges, the back half is covered and furnished with tables and upholstered sofas. All rooms have large panel TVs and USB chargers. Each bedroom had foldable suitcase stands; very useful and much appreciated, yet something seldom seen in rentals. There is plenty of parking under the house, plus a privacy shower, charcoal grill, picnic table, and water hoses for washing off equipment. Detractions were minor. None of the plates were microwaveable. Food was microwaved in coffee mugs (excellent proprietary mugs), glass baking dishes (too large to turn on the microwave turntable), or on paper towels. The property is equal distance from the beach and the highway. Louder-than-normal passing vehicles were heard over the ocean waves, particularly at night in the highway-facing bedroom. Finally, the house sways in the winds to a degree we have not encountered with other beach rentals. Water moves in bowls, hanging items sway, and blinds occasionally clack against the window pane. No one got seasick but those extremely sensitive to motion might take note. ##### Roland B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol F.

Kitchen well stocked with just about everything you would think of needing to cook for a large group. Bed in master extremely comfortable. Loved that the beach was just a few steps away and since it is further up from Crystal Beach not crowded. If you are a shell seeker this beach is great for collecting. Enjoyed 6 days here and only left the place once to explore Fort Travis. Great choice for family time. ##### Carol F. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mike t.
