Stayed Mar 16, 2025We loved the location- so close to the beach! We also love that the beach was not crowded, the kids flew kites and played in the sand.

Stayed Jun 30, 2024Our family of four enjoyed The Lazy Gator. The owners pay attention to detail with this property and our trip was everything we hoped it to be. Great location, quiet stretch of beach, and comfortable home with everything you need. They even have a sweet little ornament and branded coffee mugs to keep as souvenirs. Make sure to bring plenty of mosquito spray with you though! Thank you for a wonderful vacation - we will return!

Stayed Apr 21, 2024We enjoyed our stay and this will be a preferred choice for future visits. The property is located on the eastern, more rural end of the peninsula: shortest of the two ingress routes, close to nature/wildlife attractions, and has the least populated beach. The house was clean, well furnished, and comfortable. Most appreciated was the large beach-facing deck: the front half is open to the sun with excellent deck chairs and lounges, the back half is covered and furnished with tables and upholstered sofas. All rooms have large panel TVs and USB chargers. Each bedroom had foldable suitcase stands; very useful and much appreciated, yet something seldom seen in rentals. There is plenty of parking under the house, plus a privacy shower, charcoal grill, picnic table, and water hoses for washing off equipment. Detractions were minor. None of the plates were microwaveable. Food was microwaved in coffee mugs (excellent proprietary mugs), glass baking dishes (too large to turn on the microwave turntable), or on paper towels. The property is equal distance from the beach and the highway. Louder-than-normal passing vehicles were heard over the ocean waves, particularly at night in the highway-facing bedroom. Finally, the house sways in the winds to a degree we have not encountered with other beach rentals. Water moves in bowls, hanging items sway, and blinds occasionally clack against the window pane. No one got seasick but those extremely sensitive to motion might take note.

Stayed Jan 5, 2024This property was great. It was just as described. Decor was so pretty and we had everything we needed. Love this area of the beach! It was less crowded and the beach combing was so nice!

Stayed Aug 3, 2023Property well maintained. Kitchen well stocked with just about everything you would think of needing to cook for a large group. Bed in master extremely comfortable. Loved that the beach was just a few steps away and since it is further up from Crystal Beach not crowded. If you are a shell seeker this beach is great for collecting. Enjoyed 6 days here and only left the place once to explore Fort Travis. Great choice for family time.

Stayed Jul 9, 2023This beach house was everything we could have asked for & more! It was clean, had everything we needed for the stay and plenty of room for my two wild boys to do their own thing. The outdoor deck was our favorite part! Just being able to sit outside and drink a cup (or 3 ?) of coffee in the mornings & watch the sunrise was absolutely amazing. Also, settling down in the afternoons, listening & watching the waves come in, there’s just nothing better! We will without a doubt be booking this beach house in the future for our annual summer vacations ☀️??️?

Stayed Apr 21, 2023We came to crystal beach for its proximity to the boy scout park/bird migration. It was perfect for us, about 10 minutes to the park one way and the other direction was all of the restaurants/bars and stores. We had a wonderful time. The home was new, well decorated, clean and the view on the back deck is fabulous. Lazy Gator had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be back and will choose the same home if available.
