Book a Gilchrist Cottage

"The house was very nice and well equipped. We did not spend too much time at the house because we were in Crystal Beach for a wedding at another beach house nearby. Most of our meals and activities were at the other house so we basically slept and showered here. However I would consider returning to this property in the future. It had easy access to the beach and a decent view of the Gulf. I really liked the cozy screened porch to have my morning coffee. If you are someone who likes to party the under house area has a great tiki bar set up. Somehow the VRBO app did not send the check-in instructions ahead of time, but the host agreed to communicate with me directly to make sure we did not have problems when we arrived. We discovered the internet had been knocked out due to a storm that passed thru the day before we got there. The TV service is all streaming so we could not watch anything or connect our devices. The host was very accessible and worked very hard to get someone to come to the house to reset the equipment. When that did not work, he paid a fee for the internet provider to expedite repairing the service. He also allowed us to use the golf cart at no cost for the inconvenience. We appreciated that he went the extra mile to make our stay as best as possible. I would recommend this property for a nice vacation at Crystal Beach."

"Air conditioning worked great. Amenities were plenty. Beds were comfortable. Floors were an issues. There was holes in the linoleum and paint on the linoleum. The carpet was dirty and sticky. One of the main reasons for renting this house was the staircase for prom pictures. The railing was all beat up and marked up. The whole place needs new paint."

"Sam from the front desk was very helpful in all of our needs . Property was clean and well maintained.. esp for an old establishment like this one .. rooms are very adequate and everything wired flawlessly.. been here several time and will continue to choose crystal paradise as our go to for staying on the beach ."
