Great getaway with friends

Great property with nice view of the beach. Kitchen is well stocked. All the pots and pans we needed were there as well as an Instapot, crockpot and air fryer. The living area was comfortable for our party of 6. We went with 2 other couples so it was nice that 3 of the bedrooms had king size beds and each couple had their own bathroom. Communication with the host was awesome. I would definitely rent this property again.

Great Beach Access

The house was excellent. The only issue was the yard itself. It hasn't been mowed for a while and the sticker burs were horrible. Other than the yard I have no complaints and will consider staying in it again.

Tropicana Beach House Crystal Beach

Very nice, clean, comfortable bedding and many kitchen appliances. Views and beach access is excellent. Be sure to take extra paper products (towels, TP, etc) and extra soap for both washing machine and dishwasher. Very little is provided. Only disappointment was cargo lift not accessible. Would have been much easier for these retirees to bring in groceries if had access.
