The house was beautiful, the views from the deck were breathtaking and a quick walk to the beach was perfect. If you are looking to stay on the island this is a perfect location and highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time with this very thought out property. It was beautiful and clean and comfortable. If i was to own my own property at the beach, it would be this one.
We loved staying at this location! We were so pleased with the experience and all that was provided. A few of our favorites were the Roku TVs, super comfortable bedding, appliances, cookware, provided towels, and soaps. Robin was EXTREMELY helpful and responsive several times during the trip and we look forward to staying again!
Great house and great location! It was perfect for 2 families with kids. We would definitely stay here again. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with.
Really loved our stay here! The beach house is beautifully furnished and designed. They had everything we needed and more. It's a great location and we will be back!
Beautiful home. What a fantastic place. Beds comfy, well stocked kitchen, and loved down stairs with firepit area will recommend to all and plan to rent here again
This is a great place to stay near the beach. It’s just a short walk around the corner to the sand. Beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is very well appointed and the balcony has a nice view of the beach. Our large group would definitely stay here again.
Robin was an outstanding host and her communication made our stay a breeze! This home comfortably fit two families, one of them having 3 children (5,4,2). She had everything we would need and it was so convenient. We will be recommending!
Senior Spring Break for my son with 6 other families. Our home was the best for entertaining with the bar, ping pong, tv and firepit! We had an absolute blast and Robin wad very prompt with her communication. House was just as the pictures if not better. We absolutely loved our stay!
We VRBO a lot and this is absolutely the BEST property we have ever stayed in! The home is immaculate and has absolutely everything you could ever need for a vacation stay. We all loved this property and will be renting again next year. Just perfect!
We take a family vacation every year and this was by far our favorite place we have stayed! The property was so pretty and clean and had everything we needed!! It was also very close to the big store which was very convenient! The owners responded to any questions we had quickly and were so kind! We plan on booking here again next year!
We had a great stay in Crystal beach! Robin went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and was approachable should we have needed to contact her. The house was beautiful- clean, incredibly spacious, and well stocked with everything we could have needed and more! The beach was amazing, it was so nice being only a short walk away and being able to enjoy the views of the water right from the deck. Would definitely recommend staying here. We can’t wait to go back!
This home is conveniently located to every thing you need. It is well stocked and has everything you need for the beach. The property manager was easy to reach and very friendly!
This is house is perfect to host your family or even a group of friends.
I was the chaperone for a group of seniors at this beautiful beach house. The hostess was accommodating and kind. The property itself was better than the pictures could even portray with all the amenities. The home itself had a walk with the ease of getting to and from the beach that was amazing. I cannot say enough, how grateful I am for the hostess and her amazing, kind, and generous support for our trip!
This property was spot on for everything you would need & want. Beach accessories, kitchen appliances, games, bedding, and so much more were available and organized. View of the beach and being literally steps away were so relaxing even in the freezing cold weather. Everyone loved their stay and the host was beyond generous in communicating & working with us on our questions. This is definitely the go to home to visit! Thank you to the host for an amazing place for us to make memories!!!
Robin was a wonderful host, extremely helpful and communicative. Everything was just as described as in the listing; the home, the location, the view, and every detail was covered to have a stress-free enjoyable getaway. We would definitely not hesitate to be hosted by Robin and her family again. Thank you Robin!
What a great home! So many little and big extras to make our trip comfortable.
The home was very clean and cozy. The ocean view and sound of the surf coming in was relaxing and perfect. Just a couple minutes walk right to the beach.
The neighborhood was quiet. We all were sad to leave.
Thank you Robin for your wonderful hospitality!
This is a very nice property I highly recommend this house.Plenty of amenities are provided and the location is very good it is literally less than a block away.With it having 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms!!!which is what I needed there was plenty of room for everyone.Definitely will be renting this house again. And the host is amazing!! with answering all of my questions and step by step to checking in & checking out.Thank You Robin
This cabin is perfect for two families. Each couple had their own room & king sized bed. The other two rooms have bunk beds in them for the kids to pile in. It’s the perfect size and the layout of the house couldn’t be any better. It is decorated so nicely and feels very homey. The house is super clean. The location couldn’t be better…steps away from the beach. The downstairs is nice and perfect to hang out in. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed plus more. The kids loved the snow cone machine and s’mores sticks. The owner Robin was quick to respond to the few messages I had. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely rent again in the future.
This beach home is absolutely beautiful! My partner and I met another couple here for a mid-week getaway and this place was exactly what we needed. The house was very clean, and had everything we needed and more. One of the biggest highlights for us was the beach! It was a short walk away, and was so peaceful and quiet. We were pleasantly surprised to find some great board games, as games night is a must when we get together. Robin was very responsive and helpful, and we hope to be come back again soon!
