Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed staying at the Sassy Crab. It has a great open feel with plenty of seating for the family. The decor is perfect and not overdone. The beds are firm, but nice. Master bedroom is very spacious and located on the lower level. All other BR are on the second level. We found ocillating fans throughout the house for added comfort! The outdoor shower area is perfect for cleaning off the sand from the beach. We had great communications with management. This is the first time we have stayed on this end of the island and we found the beach to be less crowded and very convenient to the house. We enjoyed a great time with our family.

    Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was wonderful. The home was beautifully decorated and very clean. Our only complaint is that it was 89 degrees upon entering the house and it took the entire first night to cool down. The Master never fully cooled down either as it was the warmest room in the house the entire stay (Thermostat at 70 and 3 fans going in there, too). Another thing to mention would be that both bunk beds in the upstairs room were very wobbly. It made us nervous letting our kids sleep in them. Again, the overall stay was nice; it was clean, had a great location, it was a quiet area, etc. just felt the AC and bunk beds were worth mentioning.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the rental. Location was excellent for our liking. The only complaint I would say was there wasn’t any extra blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and anything extra thing we didn’t think of taking. We had to share bbq pits with three other families which was weird but hey we did wish we had to to enjoy our stay. Thank port an escapes for their service and keeping us on track.

We all liked the convenience of the location to restaurants, ice cream, and some shops, plus it was an easy drive to the beach. The unit was modern, clean, had a downstairs primary and two upstairs rooms. The girls camped in the bunk bed room and I was in the primary. We had a great time at the Sassy Crab

    Another wonderful stay here! The property was as described, with tons of extra details (dog dishes, games for kids, outdoor shower for after the beach)! This home is located in the golf cart district and is close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The check in and out process was easy and convenient. Thank you again and highly recommend!

    The place was perfect for our family vacation. When the smoke alarm went off before bed, someone came right out to replace the battery. Overall, it was great!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at The Sassy Crab. The unit was clean, decorated nicely and had everything you'd need in the kitchen. The location was great for getting to restaurants and shopping and a short drive to the beach. We enjoyed the on-site pool and the outdoor shower for rinsing off from the beach. The check-in/out process involved stopping at the mgmt company's location to get/return the keys vs. a keypad but it was close by and not a huge deal. We arrived late and were able to get the keys from a lockbox at the mgmt company. I’d definitely stay here again.
