The living room comfortably fit our group and each bedroom was spacious. We had plenty of room in the kitchen to cook and serve meals without feeling crowded. The house sits just across the street from the beach access and it was a very easy walk. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, and floats available to use, which was also convenient. Parking was tricky as you are not allowed to use the whole driveway to park. With a large group in different vehicles, we struggled to shuffle cars and make them all fit in the confined area. Overall, we had a great trip and enjoyed our stay in the Crystal Beach area. ##### Maryfrances B.

The house was beautiful. The pool was small but a perfect size for small children with limited swimming abilities. Joey was quick to respond to us when we had issues with the poor working condition of the gas grill. Although it appears you can get quickly to beach from the Crystal Beach access across the street, that beach is private and you must walk past approximately 12 houses to get to the public beach. The public beach is about the size of 3 house lots and very crowded. The easiest access is to turn right out of house and walk along sidewalk to the intersection and entrance to public beach. It’s not a bad walk if you have a beach cart. You need to bring all beach items for this house. Beach towels are the only thing provided. ##### Lisa W.

The home was beautiful and the rooms so spacious. We had all needs addressed promptly by the property manager. I do understand how challenging it is to "stock" a rental home reasonably, but the one thing I would suggest is enough kitchen towels, paper towels and toilet paper. Had a broom but no dust pan. These were small things and we would 100% stay again. Highly recommend. ##### Laura E. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan M. 30 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for our group of 6 adults and 5 children. Plenty of space. Close to beach. We had a great stay. Large rooms and plenty of space for our group. Pool was small but nice. Kitchen was well equipped. A few minor maintenance problems but overall in great shape. Upon arrival the door code didn’t work. We were on the phone with property management agent for 40 min with no luck on getting in. The physical keys didn’t unlock doors either, just the utility closets. Once we were finally able to talk to the right tech person, he was able to get the code reset in 2 minutes. Also, the nearby community steps to get to the street level and beach access had washed away. So we had to climb up a steep bank or walk around the block to get to the beach. Hopefully the steps will be fixed soon. We would certainly stay at this property again! ##### Jan M.

We loved our stay at Grateful by the Sea! We had three families, so three master suites was a must. This was perfect for us. Plenty of rooms and beds for all the kids as well. Easy beach access. Having our own pool was perfect for the kids. We had a fabulous time and would stay again in a heartbeat. Great communication with the owner too! ##### Lance S.

We recently stayed a week at this beautiful rental and absolutely loved it. Communication was quick and easy with the hosts. The home was gorgeous with a great location. We were so close to the beautiful beach. The entire group loved getting to go to the ocean at night and watching the little crabs run around. There were beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys ect. One of our favorite vacations yet! ##### Amanda R.
