The power grid in Crystal Beach is not the greatest, so the lights may also flicker when hot water is being used. If that’s going to make or break your vacation, I would consider another location. ~Person booking must be at least 24 and have government issued photo ID on file with the booking platform. ~Smoking or vaping in the house or on the decks is not allowed.

Great family property
This house is perfect for families with children. It’s packed with lots of activities and games. It’s located close to town which made it super convenient. We visit Crystal Beach frequently and our children said this was their favorite house thus far.

Wonderfull house by the beach
The house was lovely, not directly on the beach but a very short walk away and you could see the ocean from the front porch. We needed the elevator and it worked perfectly.

Great stay at Casa de Barbara
We enjoyed our stay at Casa de Barbara. The house is just as described. Waking up, having coffee on the deck and listening to waves roll in was a great way to start the day! The location one street off the beach with a nice view of the beach and very close beach access was awesome. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is nice and all the amenities you need are there. We would stay there again and highly recommend it.

Family Fun with Fur Babies!
We loved the beach house! It was in a great location very close to beach just one row of houses in front but we still had a view of the beach! It was clean which is a must for me! It had plenty of room for all of us and the dogs! We really liked the elevator as it was great for a family member that can't really use stairs. I would rent it again!

Wonderful host! Great location! Kid friendly!
Great location with extremely easy golf cart & pedestrian access to beach. Clean, well stocked, and CHILD FRIENDLY. Garage could use a little more lighing since there is ping pong & other games, but was still useable. Appreciated the beach toys and other beach items. Polite, professional & efficient communication by host. Appreciated the unsolicited offer of delayed departure due to local road flooding. Only issue was the deadbolt lock did not work correctly with the retrieve & use key from lockbox.

Beautiful Property
There were so many amenities- everyone felt very comfortable and it was a happy week! Beds are comfy and bathrooms are spacious. The elevator was an added bonus for all of our luggage! The host was extremely accommodating even with places to shop and eat. Lots of space and the view is outstanding! We will definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing by your home.

Beach house get away
The house is just as it shows online. Communication with owner very easy with quick responses which I very much appreciate. The check in and check out was easy. Location is literally walking distance to the beach. Having use of an elevator is what made our trip as I was traveling with my elderly parents who don’t do steps so easily anymore and of course pet friendly. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side this time but we were able to do some beachcombing for sea glass shells and sharks teeth unfortunately still haven’t master finding a sharks tooth yet. We always enjoy coming to crystal beach! Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Great location but not impressed with the house
Disappointed about the AC. We had miserable nights it was so hot. The extra fans did not help at all. The towels and blankets smelled like they were not dried completely. Just not a comfortable stay...
