After bein I’ll for several months , I had a beautiful c weekend with my children and grandchildren. I felt no pain , just joy being with family. The house was great. Plenty of room for everyone. The only problem was getting the TV in main room to work. All the other TV’s worked fine. The house swaying was a little unsettling, but we got use to it. Thank you Ryan for your help and patience with this old lady. This was a great memory ihave with my family. Thanks again!!

This property is 5 star all the way. The home is very close to the beach. It is very clean. The kitchen is well stocked on cooking ware and the open floor plan allowed us to socialize even when some of us were cooking. We will definitely book again. Ryan, the property host is great, attentive, and easy to work with!!

Perfect beach house
Beautiful peaceful beach house. Every bed is super comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen. Quick 1 minute walk to the beach. Very nice deck with locked baby gate and plenty of seating to enjoy the ocean view while your little ones play 😊

Family Getaway
Charming house with a great location. Close enough to see the ocean and hear it but far enough the babies could play without worry of them being on shore. Loved the beds as they were super comfy (we slept 8 adults, 4 children, and 2 babies). The children’s room was a huge hit with pirate ship bunk beds and arcade game. Kitchen was fully stocked and easy to navigate. The downstairs patio had two showers and plenty of hot water for our big party. All in all my favorite destination so far and close enough to the DFW area to visit again. We took advantage of the local golf cart rental and got a 6 seater for the week for the beachcombers. This neighborhood was beautiful and in just the right spot. Would definitely recommend this to our friends and hopefully get to rebook!

Perfect weekend getaway
We had a wonderful weekend at crystal beach and couldn’t recommend this property more. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, towels were soft, and the AC worked great! They had everything you would need for cookware and utensils. Beautiful location and very short walk to the beach. Loved that you were able to see and hear the ocean from the porch. The neighborhood was very quiet which was also nice since we had little ones. We will most definitely be back!
