Who We Are

Local Knowledge, Great Stays

Larry and Virginia Federer started Crystal Coast Realty & Home Services in 2006, and vacation rentals have been part of the business from the beginning. Our team knows these communities well — the quiet coves, the oceanfront stretches, the spots that book fast and the ones that still have availability. When you reach out, you're talking to people who actually know the coast.
