Beach house stay with family and dogs
The house was well thought out for maximum enjoyment. The hot tub was a great feature. We star gazed while relaxing in the hot tub. The number of bedrooms was great and we loved the views from most of the rooms. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next booking at this property.

Perfect location and beds for a bunch of guys
Great house. Plenty of separate beds for non-couples. The fire pit was not usable but we dug a hole in the sand and had a roaring fire just on the other side of the fencing. Will rent again if we have another “guys” trip.

Crystal Beach - Crystal Tides house
We had to cancel our trip due to hurricane damage
and lack of power. VRBO and the rental agency worked with us on getting our money back thru the trip insurance and we received our refund very quickly.

Great family stay
House is beautifully located directly on the beach. Kids loved the swim spa and watching a movie from it after dark on the outdoor tv. This Oklahoma girl wasn’t expecting the very slight swaying of the house with the breeze, but I’m sure those more familiar with beach life would laugh at me. 😂 Beaches were never crowded and we had plenty of space to ourselves. Overall, great place!!

Lovely, spacious home with room for 3 families.

Best beach house!
We were a large group with kids and adults. The house was equipped with gates around the house and on the deck so it was safe for our toddlers. The view was amazingggggg. Had everything we needed and more to cook. Enough space for everyone to sleep comfortably. The outdoor area was very nice and the heated pool was great for our stay since we did go in a colder season. No complaints at all! I wrote the host at a late time and he wrote me back fast and helped with all my needs definitely a five star stay!
