We enjoyed our time at this house. The backyard was very enjoyable and there's lots to do with kids and with our dogs. I think our dogs enjoyed things the most being able to chase tennis balls in the backyard. Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, and Clearwater are all close by. We also enjoyed walking to the dock on the bay to view beautiful sunsets. David communicated very effectively before and during our stay.

The house was clean and neighborhood very quiet.

The home was beautifully decorated and immaculate! The host was very thoughtful in attending to our every need! He left us drinks in the fridge, everything needed for s’mores, champagne and New Year’s Eve party kit and everything imaginable for a comfortable stay! I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a great place to stay in Crystal Beach!

We really enjoyed our stay in Crystal Beach at the By the Bay Getaway. Everything was exactly as described, super clean, with lots of thoughtful details that made the stay a joy. We would 100% stay there again, and you should too!

This vacation home went above and beyond our expectations. We had never been to this area in Florida and were unsure what attractions and atmosphere we may see. From the moment we booked the home, David’s communication with us was phenomenal. He asked what extra items may be needed, added locations we may enjoy on the easy to use app home manual, and ensuring the property looked its best from the moment we arrived. From a simple welcoming message on the driveway to welcoming messages in the home directed at us was such an awesome idea. The home was so cute inside and out. From the games in the garage, the bikes, the furniture, and the décor made this home such a charming place to stay. There were supplies for anything, something rare you don’t see in other homes. David truly had thought of everything. You will enjoy the fire pit, hammock, swinging chair, covered screened in porch, ping pong table in the garage, and even a bird feeder to watch while sipping the morning coffee. To supplement these areas were the supplies to enhance the relaxation such as wood, starter logs, outdoor Jenga, tic tac toe, cards and games. We went biking almost every day on the connecting trails. The best ride was to the ice cream store just down the trail. We did not have to worry about anything when we decided to go to the beach as chairs, a wagon, and toys were supplied. Sunblock and soothing aloha sunburn gel was there too! This home had so many little thoughtful gestures and touches that I could go on and on. The neighborhood is great too. We talked to several neighbors as we, or they, passed by. All were very friendly. David was amazing with communication from the beginning, throughout our stay to ensure everything was going well, and after to see how the trip went. We fully recommend staying at this vacation rental!!

Wow. This was our first vacation of 2020 so we were pretty excited to get away for Christmas. Boy, Did we hit the jackpot with this little gem! Adorable home tucked away two blocks from Crystal Beach. David decorated the house like a winter wonderland. Xmas tree and all. . David was a perfect host and didn’t miss one detail. Every amenity imaginable was provided. The bedrooms were so clean and beautifully decorated. Our kids loved the game room downstairs. We look many naps in the hammock out back. Bikes are provided and we used them every day to restaurants, ice cream shop etc. This was the exact getaway our little family needed after such a crazy year. We will be back!!

Such a nice vacation home. Our family enjoyed this property very much. David, our host was very accommodating, pro active, and very generous.

The house was in a great area. Close to parks and tarpon springs. It is decorated beautifully and the yard is well kept.
