UNIT #3 Crystal Shores Cozy Ocean Front Cottage

Perfect location, with great communication with the hosts. Thank you!

This stay is in the PERFECT location. Right ON the beach and a short walk to town center for meals, coffee, pier fishing etc. It was very clean, they also knew it was my birthday and left a Happy Birthday message with some treats, which was so thoughtful. The places is spacious and had everything we needed with the perfect amounts of storage to put our things. The only negative we experienced, but I absolutely wouldn’t take a star away from as it wasn’t the host’s fault, is the walls were a bit thin and we felt the need to be extra quiet out of respect of others. However, we could clearly (like, word-for-word)hear the neighbors TV after 11pm and they were slamming cooler lids and had alarms (possibly the microwave) going off at that hour too. If you’re a light sleeper I would just be aware of this possibility or if you’re someone traveling with kids who may be harder to get down. Thankfully our kids can sleep through most things, but I was woken up a few times.

Awesome stay- great communication and awesome location! We will return!

When my wife and I arrived and picked up the door code, it was incorrect. It was not difficult to get a new code, just a little frustrating. We went out to dinner and returned to someone from another room in our parking spot. Not familiar with the area and how particular the police monitor the beach access parking, so I was uncomfortable paying for parking while the situation was being taken care of. By the time we were about to pay for overnight parking, the person using the spot left. Crisis averted. Not the place's fault, but frustrating. The room had a very strong smell of cleaner, which eventually dissipated by the second day, or we just got used to it. The shower curtain showed signs of being dirty and it was hung too high without a liner. Our first shower soaked the floor. I moved the curtain down to avoid that issue again. I do like the way they fixed up the place, but it is starting to show some wear and tear. For instance, the sliding bathroom door had some marks on the outside of it. No, danger to me or anyone else, but I did get worried for being blamed for the marks. While the stay wasn't perfect, some of the issues could not be blamed on the place or the management. That's why my review is "good and bad."
