Charming Crystal Beach
5/5 Although our 21-day stay encompassed two major hurricanes, and we actually were evacuated for the final six days due to hurricane Milton, the time we did spend at the Crystal Beach Cottage was just wonderful. Our host, Mr, Lindsay, lived just several doors away and we had several wonderful interactions. Mr. Lindsay shared local history of this fascinating old Florida hamlet. The cottage itself was perfect for the two of us and our small dog Marley, with everything we needed for such a stay as this. Clean and tidy, the cottage even has a washer/dryer that we found really useful for us. Crystal Beach was heavily damaged by hurricane Helene, and our hearts go out to so many of the long-term residents of this intercoastal paradise who lost much if not all during the storm surge.

Very bad experience!
1/5 Accessed this cute cottage, unpacked, went out for a quick dinner and then back in time to see a beautiful sunset down the street.
Returned to a nightmare unfolding. We left a couple of lamps on so we didn’t return to a dark house.
Well, any lit light was covered with live, wormy- looking bugs with lots of wings covering the bedroom nightstand, floors, the living room sofa lamp and droppings on the dishes and kitchen counter. It was late so we had a very restless night’s sleep but waited to text the host and alternate contact first thing in the morning to report the swarm of dry wood termites (looked it up on line). No response. Waited until 2:30pm and called host, left a message and then tried alternate. She must have recd my text as she knew what it was about, but said we had to communicate with the host directly. We gathered our belongings and moved to a hotel. Bottom line, finally when reaching the host, he said to take it up with VRBO and hung up on us. This listing is managed by a property manager who VRBO connected us to. They were very helpful in settling this unpleasant experience and our sincere thanks to them.
Need I say more?????

Nice place in a sleepy little village
5/5 It's nice to get away and relax. The owner lives nearby and is ready to help if needed.
The kitchen is well equipped, which is important to us.
