Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chip and Jessica B. 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I would give the house and the owners additional stars! This house was in great condition and had everything we needed! I would highly recommend staying at this house! The accommodations are amazing including the shower heads, very clean kitchen and bathrooms and a large laundry room. We didn’t realize the beds were able to adjust until the last day. Our kids fed the turtles in the water next to the house while we were in the comfortable teak chairs on the porch. The backyard with grass area was perfect for our small dog. I felt very comfortable walking around the neighborhood. Again, thank you so much Angel for all the accommodations, recommendation book and hospitality! ##### Chip and Jessica B.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan T. 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Large & Glam House This cabin was not worth the price. It was not very clean, white couches were very stained. For the price I expected much more. also the amenities listed were decieving. it said they provided linens, paper towels, TP. there was one towel per guest for all week and no paper towels and one roll tp per bathroom. We had to go buy towels. The beds were not comfortable and the Master bed was horrible. The sheets provided were cheap and uncomfortable. for the price I expected a clean, great comfortable experience. Also, if you leave a welcome gift the food items in it need to be fresh. I almost threw up when I dug into the bag of popcorn. It was so old it tasted like cabinet. ##### Susan T. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha C. 20 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Casa Bella is AMAZING My family and I have been coming to Crystal beach for years. We rent a house usually for 5 days, twice a year. We never have rented the same house twice because we are always wanting to try something new. We will ABSOLUTELY rent Casa Bella again! There is not one thing about this home or our experience that I would change. Angel, you were an amazing host and truly made us feel welcome! Thank you so much! 10 STARS!!! ##### Samantha C.
