Hidden Oasis in Crystal BeachAn amazing experience at this Tropical Paradise. This gem is secluded but close to everything like Frenchy’s Outpost for a bite, Dunedin Beach, and Honeymoon Island to name a few as well as easy access to Pinellas Trail for a bike ride or walk. The accommodations were impressive with its cleanliness along with an amazing pool, firepit, and grill for taking advantage of a day by the pool at this gorgeous property. Karen and Connor were amazing hosts. This property is impressive and I highly recommend a visit.

We had a fabulous time here! The house and pool are pristine, and the location on the Pinellas trail was perfect for us. The backyard is very private and we all agreed that the beautiful pool was our favorite feature. Crystal beach is a 5 min walk with a cute pier for watching the sunset or fishing. We even saw two dolphins swim by one afternoon! Thank you Karen for the great stay!
