Great location, lovely property
Great location, just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. The property was very clean and looked like the pictures (which very rarely happens). Lots of amenities in the house and a great open layout for hanging out with family. Lovely views from the top and a great place to watch the sunrise. Highly recommend.

Labor Day at misty mermaid
My family stayed at the misty mermaid for Labor Day, and absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is perfectly stocked, and had plenty of games for our rainy days inside. We loved the cabin, and we were so glad to be able to bring our small pup along with us. The cabin was clean, and had plenty of room

Perfect Beach Getaway
If you are looking for a great experience in crystal beach, this is the place! This house has everything you need to relax and also entertain. We LOVED the deck area with the hammocks and spent every evening there. The house was clean, beautifully furnished, thoughtfully stocked and exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely be back here!!

Nice location close to the beach but swaying is too much
This property is very nice and clean but for us it was too tall. The house sways and can make you feel sea sick while sleeping or just standing in one spot. Also the check in time is too late and the check out time is too early in my opinion. I’ve stayed at several and 11am or 12pm is a more appropriate time. This house did not have any cleaning supplies or even salt so pack everything. The water pressure is very low in the showers as well. The great things about the house are the views and the hammocks on the 2 decks. A lot of stairs as all of the bedrooms are upstairs once you get to the entrance. Cute house. We made it work but not for us. Hope this helps.
