The beach house is beautiful and truly a fantastic place to stay with top notch amenities, plenty of space to play and relax, fenced yard, short walk to the beach and overall great central location in Crystal Beach. 5 STARS from me!

Fantastic House and views

This house is beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. We could see the ocean from the deck. I had great communication with the host. The beds and couches are super comfy. Usually VRBO couches are not comfortable so it was a nice change. Had everything we needed. If we go back I will definitely rebook. Thank you for a great vacation!

Fabulous Family Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. It had all the sheets, towels and paper products we needed. The kitchen was well appointed so we were able to cook all of our meals at the house - even grilled out one night! We didn’t have any kids, but our guys loved the basketball goal. Our pups were thrilled to have a fenced yard as well. Hopefully we’ll be back!

Great spot for a getaway!

This was the best VRBO experience I’ve had so far! The house is so clean, updated, and bright. It was really comfortable from the living space to the bedrooms and our family really enjoyed being there. Just a quick walk to the beach down the street, and we took advantage of that each morning. There are nice aesthetics like the electric fireplace that can either be turned in just for looks or can put our heat if you like. Nice big patio downstairs and great deck upstairs for sitting outside to relax and visit. A/C works great, kitchen has a beautiful, really large island if you’re going to have lots of food and family, and everything was so clean & had everything we could have possibly needed. Communication with the owner was incredibly fast and friendly anytime we had questions. We would absolutely stay again!

Family memorial time

We booked this location to gather with family especially my mom who lost her husband, our father and grandfather 2 years ago. He loved the outdoors and Crystal Beach was always a place we visited during summers growing up. The beach house was the perfect size for us and is decorated beautifully. The location to the beach is a nice short walk to the pedestrian footpath. If you wanted to drive on the beach, the entrance for drive on is conveniently located a block over. The house contains everything you could need to have a great time. Entering the beach house was very simple along with checking out. Tennille is easy to contact and available for questions. The stay was wonderful and I highly recommend this beach house! 5⭐️!

Review of stay at Crystal Beach

From the onset, the entire process was seamless, and every interaction was handled with the utmost professionalism, making for a great experience. When we arrived for our 3 week stay, we were welcomed into a beautiful home that exceeded our expectations. The property was not only clean and well-maintained but also tastefully furnished, giving it an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. The amenities provided, such as a fully equipped kitchen, high speed internet, and comfortable bedding, further enhanced our stay. The location of the home was also ideal, providing for easy access to the beach and other amenities. We truly enjoyed our quiet strolls in the morning and evening on the beach collecting shells. This combined with the peaceful surroundings, fenced yard for our pooch, ensured an enjoyable and restful stay. Based on our overall experience, we would highly recommend this home to family and friends who might be visiting the area. Thank you once again for making our stay unforgettable.

Good location-short on essentials

This was a good property but not my favorite. House was beautiful with a great layout. Loved the fence for dogs and the downstairs bar was perfect for cooking and hanging out. But the kitchen fell short on supplies. Also there was no laundry detergent at all (even 1 pod would have been helpful). On last morning, I realized there was no toilet paper refill for half bath. Most of all, I did not like that the street did not have direct vehicle access to beach. But still a great place and location but would definitely suggest making the small changes for an optimal stay.

Supervised Prom Weekend

My husband and I stayed with our daughter and friends for the weekend after prom. I can’t speak highly enough about our experience here. The house was beautifully decorated, just as the pictures show. I have stayed in many rental properties, and while all have claimed to have a fully stocked kitchen, not all have measured up. This kitchen is truly well-stocked and has everything you need! Besides the decor, this place was immaculate. Everything was spotless! Due to an issue that arose on our end (not any kind of problem with the house), I had to communicate with the owner and I found Tennille to be kind, caring and understanding. She was so easy to work with, responsive to my messages and immediately put me at ease. We will definitely be back!!

Fantastic Place!

Beautiful home, fully stocked with EVERYTHING you may need including: sheets, towels, bedding, soap, trash bags, cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes, even spices in the cabinet. The booking is just as it shows online, photos and descriptions are accurate. The hot tub was very nice to have. The automatic lift for the heavy ice chest and the luggage was a fantastic surprise! It is walking distance to the beach, but for someone who may struggle walking, it is a little further than it seems. But vehicles are allowed on the beach with a 10 permit. Beds, restrooms, kitchen, living area, are just as described in the listing. I think the listing had two bathrooms, but it is actually 2 1/2 bath, which was a nice surprise. Communication with the owner was quick and easy, check-in/checkout was easy. We have stayed in VRBO houses from South Padre Island, all along the Gulf Coast to Panama City, Florida, and this was one of our best experiences ever. Family Travel, 4 Generations from 70 years old to 8 months old. Will stay here again if available!
