About this property

Salt & Lime - Classy Gated Beach Home Crystal Beach

You'll need some "Salt & Lime" because this place is Oh so Sweet.

You are just a few steps from the cleanest section of Crystal Beach. The Gated neighborhood, surrounded by a nature sanctuary, boasts a much cleaner beach than many parts on the peninsula. Enjoy the luxury furnishings inside and out. Complete with a large main lounge deck that's perfect for entertaining, watching the ocean & breathing the pristine ocean air. Climb up to the private upper deck to enjoy a private view of the ocean.

You'll love walking into to an open floor plan with a beautiful kitchen and living room. It's has a inviting vibe that's hard to match.

The kitchen has all of the essentials to cook a meal for the family or entertain friends with cocktails, perhaps both. It's your vacation!

Of course all of the appliances are stainless steel and as a special treat, this one has a commercial grade ice maker. Forgot to get ice at the "Big Store" to fill up your coolers? No problem. We've got you covered.

There is plenty of bar seating and a large dining table.

When you turn around, you're in the living room. You'll notice a large sofa, two recliners and a 65" Smart TV with a sound bar for movie nights or game days.

Before you head back to the bedrooms, be sure to take a look at the back balcony. This one is great for when you want to take a few minutes away from the group. Our guests love to use this for morning coffee, working remotely, or having a moment away from all of the busy-ness of a large group.

Let's go down the hallway to the first bedroom. The bunkroom has artisan crafted extra long bunks for kids (young or old!). There is also our 43" Smart TV mounted to the wall for all of your kids entertainment needs. Oh, and watch out for the tentacled sea creature on the wall. It may make you want to "stick around" a little longer. Let's move on...

The next bedroom is named "The Mermaid Room," and rightly so. With the way the décor and the light reflects, it feels like you may be living "under da sea." This bedroom has a King sized bed and a mounted 43" Smart TV as well.

Both "The Bunk Room" and "The Mermaid Room," are joined by a jack and jill bathroom with a tub/shower.

Across the hallway, is the "Sail Away" King Suite. This classy setup comes with a King Bed and it's own separate bathroom with a shower. This room also has a 43" Smart TV.

Going up the stairs, you'll find the main Master Suite. This large classy suite is also outfitted with a King bed, a private seating and lounge area with a fire place and a 55" Smart TV. The ambiance is fantastic.

Take a step outside to your private Master Patio. When you and your partner are ready to retire with a glass of wine for the evening or read a good book at sunrise, this is the perfect location for it.

The Master Bathroom has a beautiful tiled shower and separate soaking tub and your own vanity sink.

The ground floor has a great amount of space for entertaining and an outdoor shower as well.

Beautiful Relaxing Vacation 💜

We stayed at this beautiful home for a last minute vacation. We had to pivot from Destin due to hurricane Helen & we were so fortunate to have found this home available at the last minute. The house was absolutely beautiful & very clean, there was plenty of room for all of us to either spread out & relax or come together & visit. The kitchen was very well stocked ,all we had to do is buy some groceries & we were good to go. The bedrooms & beds were very comfortable with plenty of space to move around. The beach was a short walk and not crowded at all, we enjoyed long walks on the beach. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay again.

Stunning property

Quiet community with private access to the beach. We have stayed on Bolivar frequently within the last 2 years and this rental was by far the nicest, that actually looked just like the pictures online. We chose to rent a golfcart as it is a hike to the beach on foot, totally worth it! Highly recommend this property!

a great weekend

Anna really deserves the Superhost status and the 5-star rating for her beach house. Anna communicated readily and provided all info we requested. We enjoyed very much the weekend at the house. It was perfect for our quiet, relaxing family gathering. The house is very nice, very well kept and nicely decorated, very nicely furnished, very roomy. The veranda was perfect for our evening chats. We will certainly stay here again in our next trips. Thomas

Great second time stay!

We had a great time at Salt and Lime! It was our second time renting and everything was awesome. We were glad to see the neighborhood added some kind of carpet to the walking/golf cart bridge. The house is beautiful and we also enjoyed the new chairs downstairs. Hope to come back soon!

Great time in a private community

We had a great time at Salt and Lime! The house was beautiful, the beach was way less crowded then further down towards the beginning of the peninsula and the property management was super helpful and responsive. What more can you ask for! Wonderful experience with kiddos and parents! I’d love to return tomorrow! Thanks so much to the family that owns this house, it’s a gem!

Wonderful family Vacation Spot

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The house is lovely and had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. The two extra items that made it even better is that it is located in a secured access community and the beach (can walk or take golf cart) is less crowded than other parts of the Crystal Beach area.
