Best Beach House
The house was beautiful and spacious enough for our 11 guests, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen and dining was large enough for everyone and easy to cook in having everything you needed supplied. The pool was a great retreat space and offered privacy for our guests that was far enough from our neighbors, so we didn’t disturb them either. I loved the short walk to the beach and not having to drive on the beach with plenty of places to rinse off without tracking sand in the house. The best part was the awesome views from the living room. We will definitely stay again.

Consistently 5 Star Beach House
This is our 4th time renting this property for a family beach vacation. It is clean and the amenities are super. The private pool is perfect for our family, the elevator certainly makes moving ice chests and luggage easier, and the view is spectacular. The boardwalk to the beach is convenient and large enough for golf carts. All you could ask for in a beach family beach house. We have already reserved it again for next year.

Limitless license to chill
Our stay was excellent! Every year we take our big ole family from Colorado and Texas to Crystal Beach for a weeklong stay. Well, thanks to Beryl our plans were completely wrecked. Since Colorado had already landed in Texas we booked this property-last minute. What an absolute blessing this was. This house was immaculate. It had everything we needed, and more. We will definitely book this one again!

Wonderful beach house getaway
We spent a fantastic long weekend at a beautiful beach house with easy access to the beach and a private swimming pool. The spacious, well-decorated house comfortably accommodated our large group of family and friends. The open-plan living area, well-equipped kitchen, and cozy bedrooms made our stay incredibly comfortable. The private swimming pool was a highlight, providing a refreshing escape surrounded by lush landscaping. Little touches like beach chairs, toys, and a poolside grill added to the enjoyment. Overall, this beach house offered everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Highly recommended!

Amazing Views!
We were looking for a place to watch the waves roll in and this property did not disappoint. It’s a lovely home that was very well stocked. Plenty of space for our large group to relax and visit. The elevator and second fridge were appreciated amenities. Unfortunately, the windows with the amazing views had quite a bit of sea salt build up. We found that a few bottles of Windex Outdoor and a squeegee remedied the problem. Also, upon arrival we found the private pool was green and not very inviting. The management company was quick to respond, but it wasn’t until the fourth day of our stay that the pool was ready for swimmers. A definite disappointment, but we were satisfied with the management company’s handling of the situation. We also had a problem with the AC, but this was addressed and resolved in a timely manner. No batteries in the tv remote when we arrived, but again, an easy fix. Overall, we couldn’t have been happier with this property.

Our Favorite Beach Destination
This was our third stay at License to Chill and we have already reserved it again for next summer so you can see we are extremely pleased with the property. It is clean, has a well provisioned kitchen, the pool is large enough for our entire family, and the view is outstanding. The elevator makes moving in and out a breeze, and the second fridge and 1/2 bath near the pool is a great amenity. The boardwalk is well maintained and large enough for golf carts. We will keep returning.

Lost on the beach
We were able to really feel like we got away from the daily rat race for a few days. We had a couple of times that the elevator would stop between floors. For some people this is frightening. Otherwise, absolute perfection.

Beautiful home. Great location. We had our family of 16 for 4 nights. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the pool. Upstairs living area was great for the adults and kids. Definitely need new can opener but other than that well stocked with dishes, cups and pots and pans. Lots of fun! Hope to be back next year!

Spring Break
We really like this property and the location. The kitchen is well equipped. The downstairs cook area could be made a little more inviting. The living area could use some lamps. The tv system could be simplified and management could be more generous with towels and provisions given the size of the house and the nightly rent. But I highly recommend the property.

Fabulous beach stay!
License to Chill met all our expectations. It was beautiful and comfortable with a great view of the Gulf. The deck was very nice and a great place to spend time. The private pool was the best feature. The kitchen was well stocked. I would recommend more dish towels and wash cloths. There were only 2 of each. Future guests should read the elevator directions very carefully. The property management sent someone immediately when we couldn't get the elevator to work properly. The propane grill on the patio should be replaced. It was rusty and dirty. Overall, we had a great vacation and would recommend this property.

Family Vaca
This house was amazing. It was beautifully decorated. The upper floor was spacious for entire family to spread out. The beds were very comfortable. The view was breathtaking. Being able to walk out to beach anytime was so nice. Pool was perfect for grandkids. Had a couple minor issues, one I couldn't figure out how to lock front door. Called the portaescape number and they sent someone right away and showed me how to lock hurricaine door. Everyone was very nice and helpful at gulfshore. We are already trying to figure out next year stay here. This place is as close to perfect as you will find anywhere.

Elevator
The only thing bad was getting stuck on the elevator with my 4 year old grandson. It felt like 120 degrees, no air. When I called from my phone to the property manager, the first thing they said was “ I will put in a work order”. I explained the severity of the situation and they said they would send maintenance. Meanwhile I called out to my daughter to call 911. While she was in the phone I kept trying to push the buttons in the panel and not even the lights behind the buttons worked. I saw a small box at the top of the ceiling and climbed up and pushed the small lever and shouted out to my daughter to try and open the door. The lever released the magnetic pad which allowed for the door to open from inside the house. My grandson and I climes out. The elevator was stuck between floors. Maintenance came 15 min later. Not sure what our condition would have been had we still been in there. There is a typed sheet on the wall that has some basic instructions. Y’all NEED TO PUT ON THERE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY THERE IS A LEVER ON THE BOX ON THE CEILING THAT WILL RELEASE THE MAGNETIC PAD. Other than that we had a wonderful time and I loved the house !!!!!!

Perfect for a big family
We rented for a small family gathering (6 people plus dog) and it was just perfect. Lots of space to spread out. Very convenient to go to the beach or stay by the pool at the house. Though they welcome pets, I found it a pain to take our dog out to go to the bathroom since you need to take elevator to bottom floor. But wonderful house.
