Beach and birding

The house was great! Loved the kitchen and porch. Comfortable bed! Great view of beach, lovely watching the pelicans and dolphins. The area didn’t have much to offer in ways of restaurants or shops. We went to the area to go birding, so it was close to a lot of the bird sanctuaries.

Spring Break 24

Our Spring Break is week before the rest of area which meant most things closed. BUT, it did not matter as we got the jackpot on locations. I lived on the porch. Kids loved the beach even in the fog and cold. Thanks for a great vacation.

Love Moonstone

Hi. This is the second time we have stayed in Moonstone. The property is on a quiet end of the beach and far less crowded. We had a couple of glitches while there (gas grill didn't have gas) and previous renters have scratched the poor floors with the kitchen stools. However, those were minor issues that did not effect our ability to relax and enjoy ourselves. The next door neighbors caught two great big red fish. So, if you want to surf fish, this is the place!

Great Beach Front Stay

We had a great stay. The house was clean, tidy and cute - decorated in a beach motif - with plenty of room for my hubby, me and our small dog. It’s in a wonderful location, right on the water. A colorful table-and-chairs set and lounge chairs on the large gated porch made a perfect location to enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and the sound of the waves. It’s one of the few properties we found with a hot tub, which is right on the porch overlooking the beach.I would caution that you check the hot tub before entering it, though, as for us it was way over-chlorinated to the point that it bleached out my husband’s swim trunks. If you have small children, note that the windows have no safety measures in place to prevent a child from falling out, which could be an issue since, like all the houses in the area, it’s on pillars.There were a few minor issues, one of which was remedied very promptly after notifying the host.Make sure you check carefully before you leave the property that you have everything of value to you, since there is a convenience fee plus shipping to have it sent back to you.All in all we enjoyed a quiet, relaxing stay in the off season at this cute beach house and would definitely come back.

Moonstone At Crystal Beach

We just love Crystal Beach, going to the "Big Store" and walking on the beach. We have stayed at Moonstone 4 times. Comfy place to stay, a stone throw to the beach. Feels like home.
