Anchors Away – Sleeps 10, Fully Fenced Back Yard, Play Set, Walk to Beach
It`s a great day to be at the beach at Anchors Away! Stay in this bright, comfortable Crystal Beach home designed to make vacation feel easy from the moment you arrive. Set in town on a quiet, friendly street with no through traffic, guests love how simple everything feels here. Park, unpack, and take a relaxing walk down Beaumont Drive to one of the easiest, most enjoyable beach accesses on the peninsula.
The upstairs living area is open, airy, and full of natural light, with vaulted ceilings that make the living room, kitchen, and dining space feel spacious and inviting. The kitchen is a favorite feature, with a large island seating 10, bright finishes, a pantry, and plenty of counter space — a great spot for families and groups to cook, snack, and gather.
The home sleeps 10 comfortably across two king bedrooms and a fun bunk room with two twin-over-full bunks. Every bedroom has a TV and room-darkening shades. The master suite includes a large walk-in closet and a private bathroom with a tile shower and relaxing rain head. The second bathroom has a tub and shower combination and everything guests need for a comfortable stay.
Outside is where this home truly stands out. The fully fenced yard is a huge hit with families and pets, and the play set with fort, swing, and slide keeps kids entertained for hours. The shaded under-house gathering area is set up for fun with a cooking counter, a bar with 6 stools, a dining table, and a charcoal grill. A gate connects the under-house area to the stairs and fenced yard so kids and pets can move safely between spaces.
The upstairs decks are guest favorites. Enjoy a quiet morning coffee while listening to relaxing coastal sounds and easing into a perfect Crystal Beach day. Parking is easy with space for three to five vehicles, and the home is boat-friendly for fishing trips, boating weekends, and family vacations. HOUSE RULES Please read before booking.

My family stayed here this past weekend, and we had a wonderful experience. The home was very clean and exactly as described. The owners were fantastic communicators—they responded to every message within seconds, which made everything so easy.The yard was perfect for our kids and dogs to enjoy. I would definitely recommend renting a golf cart to make getting back and forth to the beach quick and convenient.Thank you, Walz family, for being such accommodating and gracious hosts. We would definitely recommend your home to others!
