Super Accommodating
This house was perfect for our family of four, and the owners were super accommodating. The outdoor space offers much more than the average home. As a bonus, the balcony allows you to enjoy the concerts happening at Margaritaville. We found everything we needed and more, and the entire property was immaculate. We only had time for a brief stay, but we hope to return for a longer visit in the future.

10 out of 10! As good as it gets! Best VALUE!
This was an all around win! Nate was the absolute BEST owner to deal with and his property is now in first place for our families VRBO vacations. It was a very rainy Labor Day weekend but the AMENITIES made up for the time away from the beach! The grill and patio set up downstairs is a man’s dream and the amount of things for the kids to do are endless. Friendly neighbors and great location. When Nate’s says if you need ANYTHING he means it and is right on it! We will stay here again for sure! DON’T PASS THIS ONE UP IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Quick Beach Trip
Stayed the weekend with our kids and some friends for a quick trip before school started. We really enjoyed the house and it’s proximity to the beach and to the Margaritaville resort. The golf cart was perfect for our group as well.

Perfect getaway … even better!
We have loved staying at this beach house the past few years and this year Nathan and Lisa built an amazing addition to the cottage! The extra living space and bedroom was perfect for our growing family. The property is still beautiful and well maintained as it’s been when they first started hosting. When we opened the door it was a wave of relaxation. A/C works well, beds and furniture comfortable, kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies and basic cooking needs. Beach toys, chairs and boogie board are always a delight for our kiddos. The house is well equipped for winter visits as well with fire pit, wood stove by lounge are and a fire place inside.we can’t wait to stay next year!

Absolutely Wonderful!
The owners are Amazing!!!!!! Very helpful and responsive to anything you need. We enjoyed our stay. We come to Crystal beach twice a year and we love it. The house was fantastic with many things to do there. Our boys enjoyed playing basketball, darts and making s’mores at the fire pit. Lots of memories we made and enjoyed every bit of our stay. We will definitely stay here again. The house was cozy and plenty enough room for the 4 of us. Close to the beach, with a French in yard was a plus with little ones. I’m giving them a 10 ⭐️ rating .

Great cottage!
This place was very clean and comfortable and well stocked. The owners really aim to please their guests. This was one of the best rentals we have stayed in over the years. Inside and out, the attention to detail was awesome. We especially like the no pet rule. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Perfect little getaway
Everything about this beach house is convenient, clean, well-organized and thought out. The walk to the beach would be short enough but having the golf cart was incredibly convenient. In spite of the heat I enjoyed a breezy nap in the hammock on the upper deck. The kitchen had everything I needed. Back yard and downstairs area are immaculate, beautiful and comfortable. The outdoor shower was perfect. Kids were happy, so mom and dad were happy! Nate and Lisa were so easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend this place and intend to return!

Amazing trip!
Our stay was amazing! We got there a little early and had renting the golfcart. The hosue was not ready but we were able to pick up the golfcart and hang out on the beach. The house is perfect for a couples get away, very well stocked and both up and downstairs have hang out areas. We spent the entire day nearly on the porch one of the days just taking in the breeze. If you are looking for a fantastic little get away just to unwind, take a few strolls down the beach and hang out this is your place!

Perfect get away for your family!
Second time staying and we had a even better time than the first time! Stayed for 3 nights. Place is clean, welcoming and fully stocked with all your beach and entertainment needs. The welcome note and gifts are a pleasant way to start your trip. I highly recommend using the golf cart as it makes the access to the beach 100% easier. The property feels safe for the kids to run around especially with the gates and cameras. You can tell that it’s a well cared for and well loved beach house! Thanks for the memories and my childrens fav place to go!

Perfect setup!
These owners are the best! Checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. The setup was perfect - our family was able to stay in their camper below the cabin and come up and hang out with us! Having the 6 seater golf cart was incredibly helpful! The cabin was even larger than it looks in the pictures! Will definitely rent again!
