Beautiful place, reasonably priced, short walk to the beach, private beach access, and close proximity to stores, shopping, water park and other attractions. Our family thoroughly enjoyed it!
When we wasn’t at the beach, our kids enjoyed the backyard the most. Lots of shade and hours of fun in the pool. We also really loved the location of the beach to our rental. Kitchen had everything we needed. The location of the home to shopping was a nice as well.
The house was plenty big enough for us. Very clean. My only problem was the pool was dirty had to clean the leaves out and the first night the smoke detectors upstairs just started beeping and would not stop. Otherwise it was great would come again. Short walk to the beach.
The location was perfect - walking distance to beach. The house comfortably slept the number of people promised and the backyard/pool area was great. The only thing I wish they had done was give us a heads up on things not provided, (such as paper products, beach towels, etc) so we could prepare. Otherwise, highly recommend and would stay again
The house was perfect for a groups of adults and teens walk to the beach is very easy

Decent Stay
This property is nice and close to the beach. However, it was not overly clean and the beach items out back( wagon, floaties, beach chairs) were unkept. The property could use an internal and external deep cleaning

Great place, just minor difficulties
It was great property and great location, we just had trouble checking in because the door code was wrong and had weren’t able to get into the home until an hour and a half past check in time
Check in was easy. However, our key code did not work. On Saturday, we checked in on Friday, we returned from the beach to find that the code we had all memorized did not work. A new code had to be sent. The kitchen was very well equipped. However, no baking sheet could be located. There were pizza pans, but no baking sheet. In today’s time, and the popularity of air fryers, I was surprised to not find one in this kitchen.
Our family spent the week and we had such a great time. The house is spacious and comfortable which was great since we had a few days of rain while we were there. When the sun was shining we only had a very short walk to the beautiful beach. I would totally recommend this place and we would love to stay here again someday.
Children enjoyed pool tons of floates didn't have to buy any. The beach chairs that were reserved for us at Crystal Beach where in a great location. Would definitely book agian!!!
