Escape to the wide-open beaches of the Bolivar Peninsula at this two-bedroom Crystal Beach home, a colorful coastal retreat with an elevated wraparound deck and easy walking access to the Gulf of Mexico.
Decorated with vibrant prints and cheerful shades of blue, the living space features tile floors, plentiful seating, and satellite TV. Flip on the ceiling fans to circulate the Gulf breezes, use the stainless steel appliances to whip up pancakes in the kitchen each morning, and bring your coffee and newspaper outside to the wraparound deck to admire the Gulf view.
Spend each morning swimming and boogie boarding at the beach down the road, and return to the house for lunch at the picnic table on the patio, and come home to catch a movie on one of the three cable TVs as your bathing suits spin in the private washer/dryer.

Called Vacasa and told them about no TV and stated she would call me back, this is Wednesday afternoon after we have already left and still waiting to be called
We loved sitting on the porch and watching the waves come in. It was very relaxing and a very short walk the beach.
We had a phenomenal time here, it was literally steps from the beach and we could spend hours on the porch watching and listening to the waves. The house was super clean and just as advertised, we loved the quirky charms of it. The only issue had was a very confusing check-in email that provided a door code but in the same paragraph said that the smartlock didn't work and to retrieve a key from a lockbox. That caused some minor panic on arrival but the door code worked after all and we had no more issues. The property rental company was reasonably prompt in responding. Wonderful stay and we would DEFINITELY come back.
This was really disappointing. The pictures make this to look like a cute place. The smoke smell is overwhelming. There is so much dust on the upholstered furniture, base boards, blinds, air filter and walls that you can see it. It is literally hazard to ones health. My sister had to do repeat breathing treatments. We opened windows for several hours, but it didn't help. When we made management aware, Gina did not offer an apology but was accusatory. We left and had to stay at a hotel. Now we are out money for this AND a hotel.
The property is a good location to the beach. You can view the beach from the patio. The interior was a little dated, but functional. Be sure to bring your own chairs and beach gear. Nothing provided.
Perfect location. Close to the beach.
It's a great property but the management is not local. We reported a small issue and were supposed to hear from someone local and were never contacted.
Great ocean view and access. Will be back.
This house is perfect for a small group (5-6). It’s close to the beach and was set up perfectly. We had a great time with our grandkids. We also rented a golf cart which was an added plus!!
This cottage was great...great view of the ocean and easy beach access to walk to which is reason we chose this one. Clean and had pretty much everything we needed. Will send a few suggestions to the owner to make it even better but nothing that wasn't there was not super essential. Decor was eclectic. Twin bed mattress was hard but other two were fine. Since it's right off one of the main beach access roads the traffic was constant but not too bad. Noise level around was okay considering there was a lot of commotion on Friday and Saturday nights but that's expected in the summer at a beach house. We slept just fine with sound machines. Didn't keep my 4 or 9 year old up. Would rent this one again!
Home is very nice, needed some dusting and wipe down, the hall bathroom the shower curtain had a smell, master bath toilet room had a urine smell, need more towels, our stay was 2 nights and we each had one set of towels. We went to the beach many times and had to take more showers than normal. Need a dust pan to pick up trash. Bedroom with the 2 beds , the TV did not work. This that they can offer early checkin, I did take advantage of the late checkout. Overall the decor was welcoming, access was easy, view of the beach, short walk to the beach. I will stay again!
We loved this house and the decor! Everything was so very easy in the home and the location to the water was fantastic! We so enjoyed sitting on the deck at night with a view of the ocean and the cool breeze! We had such a relaxing time at this beautifully home with stained glass lamps and fans! We will be coming back!
Comfortable and clean. Stair’s are very steep so elderly guest may have a hard time getting up and down them but I think most of the post “IKE” Proporties are built that way. It didn’t keep us from having a great time.
