The location is excellent, and the property is very clean and well-maintained. The neighborhood is nice and walkable, with easy access to many nearby spots, which we really enjoyed. The AC worked great, and the outdoor grill was a nice bonus. Linens and sheets were also very clean.The home has two full bathrooms, which worked for us, though for a family of four (two adults and two kids) getting ready at the same time, an additional half bath would make things even more convenient.The second-floor bathtub has a sliding glass door, which made getting in and out a bit tricky, especially when helping kids bathe.The street can be a little lively in the evening—around our kids’ bedtime (8:30 pm), we could still hear some neighbors outside—but it wasn’t a major issue.Overall, we had a great stay and really appreciated the location and cleanliness. Just a few small things to keep in mind for families with young kids.

Excellent location and great house!

This house was a great find! Perfect location, short walk to the beach and easy to work with owner/property manager. I loved enjoying the front porch, coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evenings! I’ve never stayed at a VRBO that didn’t have some spices or even a little olive oil or salt and pepper. I guess it’s a county ordinance law, so be sure to bring your own spices, oils, coffee filters. The house was excellent and I would definitely stay here again.

Great extended stay!

We stayed at the property for 2 weeks and had a great stay! We had an issue with the fire alarm overnight one of the first nights of our stay but they were prompt to come out and fix right away. The house was recently redone and the cleaning crew does a great job! The house was spotless when we walked in. The description does say that Miramar beach is a 5 min walk which isn’t the case. Miramar is a lot further. However you are right on Crystal Beach. There are two small public beach sections. And you can rent chairs and an umbrella from the private beach sections. We rented a tent, 2 chairs and a beach wagon from Emerald Coast premier Rentals and everything was great, reasonably priced and easy to work with. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again when we’re in the area!
