Overall an excellent stay! Very clean! Beds were very comfortable!
The only minor thing was maybe more than 1/4 bottle of dish soap available would have been nice. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Property was just as it’s listed! Beautiful and clean! Communication with the renter was amazing! Lost power due to entergy doing some work, and they kept us in the loop the entire time as to when it would come back on! Any question I had, was just a text away with an answer in 2 minutes! Very pleased!

We enjoyed our stay at Blue Scalawag. The short distance to the beach was walkable, but we loaded up the grandkids and all our stuff and drove down. The weather was cooler than what we left at home making our time on the beach very enjoyable. Mark quickly responded to any questions or needs.

Where do I start, the house was exactly as described. The location was perfect and not even a minute away from the beach. The home had so much space to play games and entertain all while cooking. Even though it was construction going on right next door, we didn’t let that stop us from enjoying our tradition of being together. Will definitely book again!

Fun stay. Close to everything you need for a great beach getaway. The big store was a plus since the ferry wait times were really lengthy while we were there.

The house nice but the wifi didn't work-so no TV worked throughout the house and limited communication with the host. The house had a foul odor upon arrival... we had to air it out for the entire time....Keurig cups missing- did not have any like the online listing.

We just finished a 3 night stay. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. You can tell the owners didn’t go cheap when they built the home - fixtures, appliances, furniture etc..all very nice. Highly recommend this spot.

The house was great, location was great. In the description of this rental it does state that there were three cameras for the guests safety. I completely understand the owners want to make sure their property is secure. However, one camera was pointing at the front door and it said in the review that they were not able to see inside. But how do we know that? I kept the window blinds shut the entire time because the camera was aimed right at them. And when we ate outside (the view was amazing!) I felt like big brother was watching us. Four cameras seems a bit excessive. Maybe take the one camera down that is facing the front door?

We were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect place for us to retreat to when we were done with wedding activities. Close to the beach, plenty of room, comfy beds/linen and clean. Plan on booking this place again for a Crystal beach trip!

We booked this property for a business planning retreat for our small company. It was perfect! Open floor plan, Large Kitchen with tons of counter space. We were able to connect our computer to the TV as a viewing screen (via a HDMI we brought) and the furniture was super comfortable. Definitely recommend for smaller gatherings.

The property is very nice & updated- had lots of convenient things for cooking. My only concern was it wasn’t “spotless” clean. I had to clean up a few sticky/dirty areas on the floor & drawer handles. And i have a crawling baby and her clothes ended up pretty dirty from being on the floor- which if the house was just cleaned before we came- it seemed she was dirtier than she should have been for having been cleaned well. Normally, not really major sticking points, but with COVID happening & people assuring they’re going above & beyond to keep places clean so it’s safe to travel, seeing those things kind of made me question how well the house was really cleaned before we got there. However, everything else was great & it more than likely wouldn’t keep us from returning
