Crystal Villa was absolutely magical. It was super clean, spacious, light a d airy and just the perfect house for our family! The kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need and then some! If drives me bonkers when we rent a vacation house and there isn't any everyday kitchen necessities! For instance: salt, pepper, olive oil, coffee filters, proper utensils! Crystal Villa had everything we needed and more!!! The bunk roomwas soooo perfect for our boys! The deck was perfection! It even came with cargo lift which was super unexpected but we used it sooooo much! We out all of our luggage, groceries, beach on it and sent it to the top! it saved us from lugging everything up the stairs!! The beach was soooo close and the views were perfection! ... We just took an easy 3 minute walk and we were at the quiet beach! We rented a golf cart which we would definitely recommend!! The board game stash was perfect as well!!! There was also a seperate dog yard at the bottomof the stairs that we loved! It saved us from having to put the dogs on a leash to go to the bathroom! They really thought this part through bc it worked perfectly to leave the gate open at the top on the deck was close the gate to the driveway! The dogs could go up and down as they pleased and as they needed!The only recommendation I would give is to provide beach towels. I didnt bring any bc i assumed there the beach house would definitely have them.We loved every minute!!! ##### Lori H.
