Casa Dingle - A little Cozumel at Crystal Beach! 974 S. Stingaree
This home was inspired by my vacation to Cozamel Mexico. Old world wood beams run thru the living, kitchen and dining area. Hand painted Mexican tiles adorn the kitchen backsplash and bath showers. This home has 3 full bedrooms with the 4th bedroom being a bunk room. Master bedroom and 2nd bedroom both have king size beds. Third bedroom has 2 queen beds and bunk room has 4 built in bunks with their own personal lights and electrical outlet. This property goes well with vrbo #514471, vrbo #675858, vrbo #773636 as they are all side by side on the same street. Great for families and friends needing to rent several houses but want to be close to each other.

This house was beautiful, the pictures honestly do it no justice! The only issues I had were the ants coming in after it rained and my kiddos got ant bites unfortunately! The house was pretty clean, the bunk beds were a little dusty but the mattresses and linens were clean my overall stay was enjoyable :)

Long time Crystal Beacher
My family & I have been visiting Crystal Beach for 50+ years. Here are some thoughts on Casa Dingle, survival in response to prior reviews:
1. Most cabins on the peninsula do not have TVs in each room. Or, at least the ones I can afford to rent!
2. All internet on the peninsula is spotty during holidays. It’s fine between 3a - 5a, lol, when most people are asleep.
3. I don’t think the owners spy on you via camera. If they noticed the front door was open, it’s because they drove by and noticed while checking on their other properties.
4. The mattresses were an upgrade from others I have slept on.
5. The kitchen has just about everything you need.
6. The owner immediately checked on a maintenance issue, then came back several hours later on a Saturday night to make sure his repair fixed the problem.
6. I agree there was a bit more noticeable sway, but not to a disturbing degree.
7. Most owners are a little more flexible with early check-in if the cabin is ready. But, it’s their house, so their rules. I could see where liability issues might arise if something breaks before the rental contract actually starts.
Overall, wonderful place to stay and we had another week of awesome 4th memories!

Our time at this property was a great experience. The beds and rooms were cozy. House was nice, clean, and offered a lot of things we needed. The TV and WIFI were very spotty. I would recommend bringing your own knives for cooking. Other than that it was a great stay!

Excellent Property!
I was impressed when I saw this listing on VRBO, but it was beyond my expectations once I arrived! Being on third row, I wasn't really sure what kind of view we would have of the beach, but it wasn't really bad at all. We had a good angle of the beach from our deck. We are right on Stingaree Drive, so we were within walking distance of the beach as well. There was some traffic, but not as busy as I had expected for a holiday weekend. We were able to set our canopies up very close and walk back and forth to the house if we needed to. The house itself was very nice! We had a spacious deck and the area downstairs had swings so we spent some time down there as well. The bedrooms were very nice and spacious and beautifully decorated. Our daughter and grandkids loved the bunk room! I couldn't get many channels on the TV, but it wasn't an issue for us because we didn't watch much TV. The bathrooms were very nice, updated with a beach theme. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we would definitely rent this house again!

Nice beach house
The house is very nice. Location was great. We loved being able to walk to the beach. The house is clean and updated. Very nice looking. The WiFi isn’t great but it wasn’t a huge deal for us. My only complaint is that the house sways quite a bit. I’ve never been in a house that sways so much. We’d be sitting on the couch or at the table and feel it move. Overall the house is very nice and we would definitely rent again.
