With a small private pool, backyard, and outdoor entertaining space, everyone in your group is guaranteed to have a memorable experience, including up to 2 small/medium dogs! Dogs are permitted with a $300 non-refundable pet fee.

FIRST FLOOR:
The first floor of Beaches Be Crazy was designed with fun in mind! Not only is the backyard easily accessible, but the Recreation Area features two arcade machines with hundreds of games, a foosball table, and large smart TV. There is even a kitchenette with an ice maker, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and full sized refrigerator to make refueling by the pool easy breezy!

Everything was very good, except for the heat on the second floor. For some reason it stayed hot on the second floor. Just make sure you can do stairs, cause the kitchen is on the top floor. Love the fact the home is rgt across the street from the beach.

Family Vacation

This rental location was absolutely perfect! The management team was excellent. The house layout was not a good fit for our family. The kitchen is on the 3rd floor with one master bedroom. The 2nd floor was 3 bedrooms, and the basement was a beautiful bunk room where out kids stayed. Being so far away from our young kids was not ideal, and the stairs were an enormous chore all week long. The home is beautiful, and with older kids, the set up would have been nice. Great property overall!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a perfect rental house with a perfect location. We were very happy with the rental company and appreciated how clean the house was. The only disappointment was the non stop construction in the neighborhood. It was very loud, very early and lasted all day.

Perfect family beach vacation

Beaches be Crazy is a perfect stay for a large family gathering. The home worked perfectly. Lots of comfortable living space to hang out and play games. Small pool in the backyard, but a large community pool that seemed wide open all the time. Short walk right across the street to the best beaches ever. We felt right at home. The game area was fun and bunk room was perfect for all the kids.
