    At Redfish Retreat you are beachfront on a public beach which will sometimes mean noise and music so we have provided sound machines in every bedroom so you can still sleep the night away.



    Notice of Cameras: There are 3 exterior security cameras, one at the driveway, one facing down the steps to the main door, and one facing the backyard toward the beach, so we can make sure the property is secure and people aren’t approaching the house or hot tub from the beach.

Wonderful time at Redfish Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed being right on the beach and the layout of your home! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out with our party of 14. Going out to have coffee on the deck and watch our children play on the beach just below was such an added convenience and bonus! We would definitely stay here again at the Redfish Retreat! : )

THE Place to stay on Crystal Beach

We were at this home for 10 days during August and definitely plan on going back. This home has the perfect set up for families and kids of all ages. Amongst many other things, one of my favorite things about the house was there was a living room downstairs for the adults to hang out and a game room upstairs for the kids to hang out. The house has all the accommodations you could ask for and has been one of my favorite stays at Crystal Beach. Great location, beach access, plenty of games under the house, fully stocked kitchen- all around great!

Great Beachfront Vacation Home for Kids of All Ages

Beautiful views from interior and from balconies. Fresh evening breezes… even though it was July. Note for Parents and Grandparents… If you walk the sandy path to the road, and access the beach from the road, you’ll walk past a small, free “Kids Library of Beach Toys” on the right. It’s a little collection kids can pick from and return at the end of the day. Feel free to leave your personal kid toys there if you’re not able to take them on your journey home. Other kiddos will enjoy them after your departure.

House was not clean. Refrigerators smelled and were dirty. House needed to be cleaned better. Mosquitos were horrible. Houses were closer together. Photos were deceiving. The view was beautiful. The house layout was great. Lots of little details. The cleanliness was just disappointing.

lovely beautiful house

the house and property is lovely!! linens were so nice, cozy blankets and lots of nice towels, super comfortable beds and corner couch in the living room, loved all the yard games and and accessories in the storage shed, plenty of comfortable chairs on the decks, also was impressed how well the kitchen was stocked! But our biggest disappointment was the HUGE loud party crowd of teenagers that showed up on the beach on Friday for most of the day. Drinking, smoking, blaring music, loud pickups roaring up and down the beach, also very disturbing disrespectful behavior to the property beside us. in short not at all a quiet peaceful family friendly place safe for children! We were so thankful that Saturday was much calmer and quieter!! we also enjoyed the local restuarants, delicous seafood!

HOUSE and LOCATION are the chef's kiss! MUAH!

Stylish and comfortable home with fantastic view and access to the beach! This is our yearly family trip with 13 of us, ranging from 2 years, to preteen, to adult. Everything we needed from beach towels to kitchen necessities were available and in great condition. We enjoyed the lower level seating, hot tub, grill, extra fridge and serving bar for our brisket day. With a wide range in ages, the upstairs game room made an excellent second space for movies and fun. The outdoor shower worked especially well to keep the sand out of the home, and is under the home on the concrete which was great for staying cleaned off as we walked upstairs. Beds/pillows are comfy and sheets are soft; even had the cutest make-up towels. Love the 2 sets of washer/dryers with all of our crew! Hostess was super friendly and quick to respond with all of my questions. We love Crystal Beach's small town feel and this house made our stay even more special.
