It was a perfect location and we had plenty of room! Beautiful home!
We loved this beach house and had the best time on vacation with our family! It was spacious and the short walk to the beach was great! Amazing location!
We stayed three nights and it was wonderful. The beach house was in prime location to the beach, clean, with an eye for details which did not go unnoticed❤️ There were good views of the Gulf. The grandparents could watch the kids playing at the beach from the decks! Plenty of eateries close by and a large grocery store as well. Thank you so much for supplying us with a great place to stay! We certainly plan to do it again, soon!❤️❤️❤️ ?????
Home was amazing, freshly remodeled and furnished which made me slightly nervous being the first guest to use everything. Painting was still in process of being completed however owner contacted me to inform me and home was spotless when we arrived. We were also informed that there would be issues with internet ( which there was) however owner graciously gave us an adequate rebate for loss of use. Property and location was perfect my only suggestion would be for owner to install blinds over primary bedroom balcony door, the neighbors have a Birds Eye view directly to bed. We would love to stay at this beach cabin again on our next trip to beach.
Once again best place on Crystal Beach. Clean.. well maintained. Well managed. Will rent again.
Enjoyed the location, floorplan, and Kelli was great to deal with from beginning to end.
This was our 1st experience using VRBO, and we couldn't have picked a better place than Wait-n-Sea to spend our week in Crystal Beach. We had 6 adults and 3 kids, the youngest was 2. Kelli Mathews was an amazing host, we loved the house, it was exactly what the pictures showed and exceeded our expectations The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Kelli was always quick to answer any messages or concerns we had. We were unfortunately without electricity for almost 24 hours but this was totally out of her control, the whole peninsula was without power, but we made the best of it. Kelli went above and beyond making sure we were all ok throughout the whole situation. We will definitely be back and we will rent again from Kelli. Thank you Kelli for making our stay a memorable one, we sure made lots of memories.
We rented the house for my husbands 30th birthday with three other couples and when we arrived we were all excited about how close it was to the beach and how cute and updated the house is. Kelli was great and very responsive when we had some WiFi issues and a power outage! Would highly recommend and will be renting again in the future!
The house is in an absolutely amazing location and it’s a beautiful house but it was filthy. We spent the first evening and next morning washing comforters and rugs that we could tell hadn’t been washed in quite some time. The floors were full of sand, as were the showers and just about every corner of the home. All three showers were full of mold. The mattresses are in desperate need of replacing. None of us slept well. I notified Kelli of the filth, and she was an absolute sweetheart and told me she’d contact the cleaning company and gave us a nights refund. I think the cleaning didn’t take one step in that house before we came. Rugs weren’t where they were supposed to be and we crunched on the sand throughout the house. I chose this house for my family and while we had a great time at the beach, so much time was wasted cleaning obvious things that should have been cleaned. Had the house been clean, we would 100% be back next year. Thank you again Kelli for being so sweet and I don’t blame you.
BRING A MOBIL HOTSPOT. This property is stunning. Well stocked and very clean. My only complaint is the WiFi. Please update this system. It was one of the worst I’ve ever had. You simply can’t use it. Otherwise this house is 5 stars all the way around. Bring mosquito repellant. One of the neighbors has a water storage and the mosquito game here is intense!
