Our family of 5 really enjoyed our Big Tuna stay. The house is in good shape with no major wear and tear issues and plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, bowls, utensils for all of your cooking needs. You will need to make sure to bring a beach bag and towels but there is a beach cart with plenty of beach toys and 3 chairs to use as well. The pool is really fantastic and we often split our time between the pool and beach. The location was great, close to restaurants, the beach, and attractions. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

While we enjoyed our stay, the house does need some special cleaning. We found stains on the futon and throw pillows. We also found dirty dishes (probably from the renter before) and ended up having to prewash all dishes or cups before using them. A plus was the very short walk to the pool which the kids really enjoyed. Would recommend this house.

Overall it was a great stay! Love the neighborhood and super close to the pool (which is the main reason we stay at Villages of Crystal Beach). The beach is walking distance and many entrances to the beach nearby.
