With the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico nearby, this home is just the place to bring the whole family for that much-anticipated vacation! With accommodations for up to eight guests, this is the perfect fit for a family getaway. Whether it be enjoying a cold drink on the over-sized patio or a day at the beach with your toes in the water, everyone will find their own way to spend their time away. After a day on the sand, everyone can rinse off in the outdoor shower and gather on the spacious deck to watch the sun go down with a glass of wine.

Unfortunately, upon arrival, the home was not thoroughly cleaned. In fact, only 1 of the 4 beds were made. We couldn't locate sheets to make the beds. The toilet had to be fixed. I also had to sweep and mop the floor, wipe down the couches, and clean the refrigerator upon arrival.
One of the mattresses was completely sunken in.
Even with all of that, we were going to make the best of it and stay. Until I woke up and 5:00 am with a bed bug bite. The bed bug was in fact crawling on me and I killed it with my hand, only to have my hand full of blood.
This property should not even be listed with the cleanliness issues it's having. Additionally, there were flying ants in the kitchen. Do not recommend it.

Best spot for my beach experience. I’m close enough to walk. I can see the water from the couch. The front porch is my favorite view to sit outside. This house isn’t too close to another house either. This is my second time staying at this house.

We really enjoyed the place. Good location and decent price. Plenty of space, quiet neighborhood. Parking was a bit difficult since no concrete drive and not allowed to park under the house like other houses. Little things need attention like some new pans and the extra queen bed needs replaced. Really needs to hire a new cleaning crew. Cabinet doors, handles, light fixtures and baseboards need a lot of attention along with some of the walls have dust/ webs. Other then the cleaning portion, we would rent again if that was taken care of.

Loved how close this home was to the beach. The neighborhood is cute and quiet. House furnishings could stand to be updated to be more comfortable. Overall it was fine for the couple of days we were there.

House was clean (maid service wise) but there were roaches crawling in every cabinet, on the walls and on the counters. We called and was promised to have someone out within an hour…they never showed! I emailed Vacasa next and still have not gotten a response. It needs exterminated ASAP!
4.0
Great location. No complaint with the beds. Some of the dishes were dirty, so we had to clean them before using. An ashtray on the deck was full of cigarette butts. There was no laundry detergent, so we had to go to The Big Store for that. The bathrooms have tiny shampoo/conditioner like a hotel...not a fan. There was also tiny bar soap...once again, not a fan. Nothing serious. Those were just a few minor details that the manager should address. Other than that, I would recommend it to others.

The location was perfect! Loved the views but very disappointed with a couple things
-there is a roach infestation in the home, they were all in the kitchen and also in a room crawling the walls!!! Pretty disgusting waking up to roaches, specially in the kitchen we had to throw out a couple things due to the issue! Needs to get taken care of ASAP
- the cleanliness wasn’t the best, the restrooms were a bit dirty
- the bedrooms have bad mattresses some are too hard and others sink in the middle.

The property was just as expected, as detailed in the listing! We were pleasantly surprised that a Keurig had been added to the kitchen appliances! When we arrived, the house was clean and cool! The deck is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail. You can hear the relaxing sound of the surf, as well as the beautiful view, any time of day! The downstairs area is super nice and spacious for a relaxing cookout, or just sitting and chatting with friends/family! We couldn’t seem to get the DirectTV to work, so I made a call to the property manager, and within 15, a very nice fella (I forgot his name) arrived and showed us how to access it! So FYI, on the TV’s menu, don’t choose “satellite “, choose “cable” that’s where whomever programmed the TV put it!
We would most definitely stay here again, and we’ve already recommended the property to a couple of friends! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
***The guest room bath needs a stopper for the tub. My grand baby had to take his baths in the master bathroom, because there was no way to plug up the drain. I would also suggest the addition of a television to the master. Not a deal breaker of course, just a suggestion.

This was our first time in Crystal Beach. The experience was wonderful. The house was a street away from the beach. There was beach access right there too. We rented golf carts for the weekend, we took those things EVERYWHERE. The beach was clean and ppl were everywhere. We absolutely enjoyed our time away. NEXT IS THE WEDDING!!!

The location was great. Just a 3 min walk to the beach.Gina from Vacasa was very helpful and responsive. The property could do with some upgrades. The decor is very faded and looks worn out.The pictures posted online of the deck , indoors and outdoors was misleading. The dishwasher was broken, clothes dryer did not work properly and there was a leak from the AC vent inside the house. The house was not cleaned properly and had a musty odor . It could do with some reorganizing and upgrading of the kitchen utensils . It is a beautiful property that needs some attention.

There is a leak in the bathroom and we were not told about it, food on floor, small bugs in bathroom, not enough toilet paper or paper towels but was good other than that. Great location

While the listing says “beach access,” it was not made clear that the beach is only accessible by foot. The vehicle entrance is about a mile away. At the entrance to the subdivision, there is a large sign that says “no beach access.”
The property says there is room for 4 cars, which is not true. There was barely space for 3. We generally take the tops off of our Jeeps and park under the houses (in case of bad weather), but the letter in the house asked that no one park under the house. We would not have booked there if we had known this.
The home had one role of toilet paper per bathroom. When I inquired about this, the management company said there should be 2 but the local rep said one. Two families stayed in the house for 5 days. That’s not reasonable. It was not a huge deal, but we had to go back to the store on a busy weekend when we figured all of this out. It took a good bit of time.
The kitchen was well appointed and the home was as pictured. The location and parking were our main issues.

We had a great time! House is located just off the beach with great views. The only negative was a leak in the bathroom under the sink and one working TV. Otherwise great place to stay.
