    We enjoyed our stay at Rolf’s Crabby Daddy. The cabin had all the necessary accessories for a family who plans to cook at the location. The neighborhood was peaceful, however the cabin next to us was vacant most of the week so take that evaluation with a grain of salt. The walk was further than ten minutes to the beach. I walk a lot, and it still took me fifteen minutes minimum to reach PUBLIC beach access. There are private accesses everywhere, but then you must be comfortable knocking on someone’s front door and possibly getting permission to walk through their property. Choose your own adventure. One of our family members has a physical disability, so mobility concerns are more acute on our outings. If this is not your situation, then the beach access distance may not be as big of an issue for you. An island of simplicity in an ocean of gaudiness. Bring a few beach cruisers and this place is solid.

    The beds were like heaven. Shower had no water pressure and shower head was too high up. Air vents dripped condensation on table and chair.. Should offer an early check in. But it was an amazing trip. Thank you

    This is the cutest little beach house in such a great location! Luckily my husband and I settled on this property rather than further east (where we usually stay) because little did we know there was a music festival happening the same weekend we were there. The pictures online looked like it was SO CROWDED but we were so relaxed and quiet at Crabby Daddy! Quick walk to the beach for my husband and I, and our little spot on the beach was also nice and secluded, even on a saturday. We brought our pup for his first vacation and he had a great time too. We were about 40 minutes away from the dog beach at Fort Morgan, as well as the ferry to Dauphin Island which has a couple of dog beaches. All in all it was the perfect location and we had an amazing weekend. We hope to be back to Crabby Daddy!

    Sweet little home with everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. Loved the lagoon out the back door and Gulf access across the road (10 minute walk). Restaurants, shopping and State park just a short drive, just far enough that traffic is minimal.minimal

    Overall we had a nice stay! House is cute and comfortable. Needs a good deep cleaning. Furniture was already covered in sand upon arrival and dishes were dirty when you pulled them out to use. It would be nice to have a little hand vacuum to clean the cushions with. Beach access is quite a hike to walk with wagon/kids so you will have to drive. Listing does not show new condos directly behind you which makes it awkward to access the lagoon area as you feel you’re infringing on their space. Communication was spot on, check in was easy, and it’s a great quieter safe spot which I guess is what you get versus closeness to the beach entrance. Overall not a bad stay! Probably wouldn’t choose this one again but you get what you pay for and it slept the 4 of us just fine!
