Wonderful Mother's Day Vaca

The house is exactly as it is in photos and was beautiful. Mother nature was out in full force (I am talking about the mosquitos) but with a little OFF it was tolerable. Would go back to this house again.

This home was perfect for our weekend getaway. The owners were very attentive and checked in on us, which was very sweet. The home is very accommodating and it shows that the owners care about making sure your stay is enjoyable for all. The hot tub was a hit and all of the games provided. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Perfect!

Everything about the rental was beyond great. The property itself had everything we could need, plus more! Perfect entertainment for the kiddos, and perfect entertainment space for the adults! The rooms fit us perfectly with the amount of beds they have and were very comfortable. We had all the amenities we needed for our stay, along with a great amount of indoor/outdoor games to choose from. Property owners were very quick to respond, and checked in on us during the stay to make sure we had all we needed. We absolutely loved staying here, and cannot wait to come back next summer!!

Beautiful Modern Beach House

We loved our stay here. We surprised one of our best friends with a 50th birthday party here. We relaxed on the beach for a day and the next day we opted to just stay at the house, play games, and sit in the hot tub. The inside was beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities you could think of. From board games to a Nintendo switch (we played Mario cart) it really was just so much fun :) Would stay here again. Although we were all adults, bringing the kiddos would be perfect for this place as it has everything you would need to entertain them. Thanks again for letting us stay. We loved it.

Sapphire by the Sea was amazing!

Sapphire by the Sea lived up to it's name! We arrived to a spotless house with the perfect touch of decor giving a cozy and inviteable feel. The bunk room was perfect for our teenage group, and the master suite was the perfect size. Beds were comfortable as was the seating in the living room. The hot tub was the perfect ending to a day at the beach. The garage is filled with everything you need for the beach, from chairs to umbrellas and even a rolling cart. Also, great communication from the owners and an easy check-in process. Definitely recommend Sapphire by the Sea! We hope to be back soon.

Great times!

We had a wonderful weekend in Crystal beach made all the easier by the amenities of this house. We take a family vacation every year with ten people or more and it’s always surprising when there are not items in the house that can accommodate everyone. Not this place!! There are multiple kitchen appliances, brilliant for feeding a large family and a stocked coffee drawer. My favorite things include: A great selection of pans, utensils, spices, and other needs for cooking. Items needed for cleaning. Fun items to entertain small children. Well thought out beach needs like towels and chairs. Enough beds for the entire family including soft bedding and pillows. Open space and available seating for everyone including the bar area outside and on the balcony. Overall lovely house with clean lines minimal clutter. We would absolutely love to stay again. Side note: Not poorly reflected on the house but would like to share we rented a golf cart which was perfect for the distance however the entrance to Lafitte’s Landing to the beach has thick sand. We got stuck multiple times in need of a push from the beach to the housing area. Important to know if you’re traveling with elderly.
