4 bedrooms WITH a Loft! 2 min walk to Beach, Free Early Checkin Late Checkout

Built in 2021, Sea Dragon is completely brand new with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great room, and loft. Bring the whole family or another family! We sleep 12-16 comfortably and the home was designed to gather with friends and loved ones. Downstairs there are 2 additional outdoor showers with hot/cold water. We provide all linens on the beds, beach towels, and towels for showering.

Located just off of South Crystal Beach Rd, approximately 500 feet from the beach, and an easy two minute stroll along the direct access road. Sea Dragon's central location makes it just a few minutes drive to groceries and restaurants. There is a gas station to fill up your golf cart on the direct beach access road too.

The Great Room features a well-stocked kitchen with a nearly 10 foot long island with 6 barstools, a dining room table that can expand to seat 12, and a 55" Smart TV and sleeper sofa to relax on! In the kitchen there is also a dishwasher, pantry, full size washer and dryer, and dishes and utensils for 24. There is a 72" ceiling fan in this large vaulted room with a remote. We provide a starter pack of dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, paper towels, and trash bags.

There are two wings on either side of the great room on the main floor. Each wing consists of a primary type bedroom, and a bedroom with built-in bunks, and bath that is shared between the two rooms. All bedrooms have mounted fans with a remote control. Each bed has 4 pillows and linens are all included. All bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and four rolls of toilet paper. The FREE Wi-fi is accessible in all bedrooms.

The loft on the second floor features a 50" Smart TV and wall-to-wall sectionals. There is over 20ft of seating for you to kick back and watch the big game or movies together. There are some toys and lots of puzzles and board games for all age levels.

Downstairs features 2 outdoor showers, a fish cleaning station and sink, propane grill, picnic table, deck box with beach toys, bench swing, hammock swings, and a web swing! There is also a conveniently located garden hose to make washing off your golf cart rental easy.

The outdoor showers have plenty of hooks to hang wet swimsuits and is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We try to keep the the deck box stocked with 8 beach chairs, 2 different types of sunshades, 3-4 boogie boards, and sand toys (this is NOT guaranteed but we do our best, please notify us if anything breaks or is missing so we can replace them). Propane for the grill is also not guaranteed, we will reimburse you if you need to swap it out.

NOTES:

* Security: There are external surveillance cameras to secure the property whenever the home is unoccupied. These are located at the outside stairs, doorbell, and under the house.

* Internet/Wi-fi: We have the best premium internet service on the island. We routinely work from the beach house, and see speeds up to 100 mbps down and 25 mbps up. Internet is NOT guaranteed as many factors out of our control that can affect its speed and connectivity. However, living at the beach the entire summer we only lost internet service once.

Crystal Beach is located on Boliver Peninsula. It's a great place to relax with soft sand and gentle waves. Our family loves to boogie board, go crabbing, fish from the surf, and have bonfires on the beach. Most summer weekends you can even see fireworks on the beach, or bring your own to light off!

You can cruise the 27 miles of beach in your car, ATV, bike, or golf cart. There are many golf cart rental providers in the area and they will deliver and pick up from our home. Parking on the beach requires a $10 parking pass that is valid for the entire year, they are easy to purchase at the gas station or grocery store.

Family Time
We needed a little break from everyday life! Our happy place is the beach. We loved this house as there was plenty of room for all of us(11). The loft upstairs was a great place for the children to play and hang out! they loved it!. The room setups were great for traveling with young children as we were able to set up pack and plays and not be crowded. We loved it!

Amazing 18th birthday
We celebrated my son's 18th birthday and we had a blast! We loved the proximity to the beach and the kids loved having their own space in the loft to play games and watch movies. Comfy beds and other furniture. Plenty of space to cook, entertain and feed everyone easily. We never felt crowded. We will definitely visit again in the future.

Wonderful Stay
We VRBO ourselves and love the split floor plan. Perfect for 2-3 families whose kids don’t mind a big slumber party upstairs. Beach and stores are all very close. Beach is active 24 hours a day. Store (walking distance) is open all night. Bring firewood! The house has everything you need and is very clean. This is a great choice for a fun beach trip without all the hustle and bustle of the island. Would suggest some kind of grocery/luggage lift, those stairs are hard on the older folks. Other than that, totally great place to be!

Great communication, fair treatment
Our trip was cancelled due to hurricane Beryl. Stephanie had reached out with details about conditions at the beach house and surrounding area in a timely manner for us to adjust travel plans, and gave us options for how to handle the situation. She was more than fair, including fully reimbursing us and offering a discount for the future! Thank you, Stephanie--I hope we get to stay sometime soon!

We stayed at the Sea Dragon from 6/30-7/2. The layout of the house was perfect for our two families. Location is close to the beach. The house met our needs and had an affordable rate for a 4 bdr house. Home owner was very responsive when needed. Would stay here again.

The property is exactly as seen in pictures. There were 6 adults and 5 kids and the house did not feel small at all. The loft area is perfect for teenagers. I would recommend staying here. Had no issues at all and the house was equipped with all we needed for the beach.

Great vacation by the beach
The property seems a little small for 16 people maybe 10 tops but the overall property was beautiful and everything you needed was there! We did have to share the backyard with the next door neighbors on both sides of us but again that didn't take away from the property,a small suggestion I would make is to put some kind of safety latch in place on the window for the loft upstairs.Would definitely rent again!

Everything you need an probably more.
Pros: CLEAN!!! LOCATION is fantastic! Distance to the beach was easily walkable/driveable. Large kitchen with lots of room for groceries and everything you can imagine in terms of pots/pans/plates/utensils, etc... We had 9 teenagers/adults and we all had plenty of room. If you needed it, it was probably provided. Stephanie responded quickly to questions and was super helpful. Fans and TVs in every bedroom. Unlimited towels it seemed (which was good for us). Beach towels and "play things" were provided. Cons: there is no upper deck, storage for personal belongings is limited, and neighbors are pretty close. The grill was not clean. Overall this was one of the best houses I've ever stayed in and would stay here again. Not having a deck was a bit of an issue for my group, but we just hung out downstairs instead. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this house. My cons are subjective, so they may not be an issue for others.
