A quiet retreat from life

I booked this place for three weeks hoping that it would be a quiet place for me to think. After the loss of my husband I needed peace and quiet. It was not a disappointment!. With the golf cart rental it was a short ride to the beach. My family arrived for a week and we had plenty of room for the eight of us. One one day the air conditioning system shut down but with a quick call to the owner within 30 minutes someone was there to fix it for us. The quickness of the fix had me impressed. And I appreciated his promptness at trying to fix the issue. The cabin was easy to find and close enough to places to eat and The Big Store so the location was perfect for me. The cabin was in a clean condition when I arrived. At this point in my life it was a sanctuary I needed. Loved the place!

Nice quiet neighborhood, easy walk to beach access.

This house is very roomy and in walking distance to the beach. We did a lot of fishing so we gad plenty of parking for our friends boat and two trucks. It does need some minor maintenance to make it perfect. Carpets and stained and walls could use a fresh coat of paint but over all it was good.

Best Host Ever!

When we arrived at Chompy's there was an AC problem with the house and our host immediately came to our rescue. (This is why I did not want to rate all of the items - we weren't there long enough to honestly comment on many of the things pertaining directly to Chompy's - but I couldn't submit the review without rating all of it). He sent Lisa (the housekeeper) to help us get relocated and the new location was absolutely beautiful. The new place was gulf front and much larger and at no extra charge to us. You can feel comfortable dealing with this host. And Lisa was AMAZING! She was friendly, very helpful and made us feel like family from the get go.

Excellent for family get together

House was nice and clean. Master bedroom bed was very comfortable and I had no complaints from family about the beds in the other rooms. Good location. Far enough from highway so not much highway noise and far enough from the beach so the late night parties at the beach dont cause loss of sleep. It is walking distance from the beach...Im 60 and walked to it but I definately would prefer using a golf cart. I will definitely stay at this location again.

Not Clean

The house was not clean. Towels were dirty, hair in the sinks, floors were covered with sand, the place dusty and spider webs in pretty much every corner. Furniture was broken,the beds had sink holes. Reached out to the owner he said he'd send someone to clean but when my family and i returned from sightseeing five hours later the place still looked the same. Thise beds were so uncomfortable and the place so dirty we left a day early and flew back to California. We are all in our 50s so an uncomfortable night's sleep does not make for a great vacation.

Good place, would stay again

Pros: location, cable/dish TV (I forget which), great washer dryer, free detergent pods/dishwasher pods/garbage bags, softest/best 1 ply toilet paper I’ve ever used (didn’t use the good stuff we had brought), outdoor shower had hot/cold water, board games, good shower heads and water pressure Cons: cleaning staff does not turn the AC back down for the next guest, broken/missing electrical plates (somewhat concerning as we had our 2 and 5 year olds with us), the 9 is missing from the address marker x2, front left burner on the stove doesn’t work, property was a little hard to access due to a worn lockbox holding the keys Would have been nice: a book or two for beach readers, keyless entry, an ice maker in the refrigerator, a small tv in the bedrooms (master has one) Overall, a nice place that could be great with a little TLC. Would stay again. Thanks, Matt!

Great time at Chompys!

The property is great! Comfortable and spacious for the 7 people that stayed with me. It was about a 4-5 minute walk to the beach. Location is quiet. It was close to a grocery store and a restaurant that had live music! Host was communicative and replied quickly. Really enjoyed my stay and will be back!

Unclean Property Beware

I recently had a terrible experience during my stay at a VRBO property called Chompy. The host, Matt, was extremely unprofessional and repeatedly gaslighted my family and me regarding the cleanliness of the property. We even took several pictures of the property and sent them to the host to rectify the problem but he refused to acknowledge the issue. Instead, he suggested that we leave that night and receive a refund. It was evident that his only concern was filling the property with other guests and increasing the price for the 4th of July weekend. I would strongly advise anyone thinking of renting this property to be cautious as it is likely that the cleaning standards are not up to par. We even called VRBO customer service to report the issue but Matt was rude to the representative and eventually hung up. During our stay, we found dog hair and human hair in the sheets, as well as a roach, which we had to kill. When we brought these concerns to Matt's attention, he accused us of lying. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience and I would not recommend staying at this location if you want a clean experience with your family.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Kowaleski

Host profile image
I'm a native Texan that loves the bringing the family down to the beach and can't wait to take the kids fishing when they get older. My favorite thing about renting out my home is allowing other families to make lasting memories and receiving feedback on their visits!

Why they chose this property

I stumbled onto this property a few years ago when a friend mentioned it to me. Once I stayed I was hooked! Hence the name Chompy's. I've caught sharks, redfish, trout, flounder, croaker, and a bunch of other fish out there but the best name I could think of was Chompy's to represent fishing in the area!

What makes this property unique

Chompy's is walking distance to the water and a couple minutes from the main attractions of Crystal Beach including The Big Store and Stingaree Restaurant and Marina.
