    Great location and stay. We bypassed a golf cart rental as the location gave a short walk to the beach. Communication was great and the property was well-cared for and clean.

    We had a wonderful stay during sand fest with 2 adults and 8 children. We were all comfortable with our own sleeping space. The house was clean, beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked! We do this trip every year and will for sure book again!

    Crab House was a very comfortable place to stay. Great Decor, can tell that owners care about thier place. Didn't like that garage wasnt available for storage after beach. One recliner in living room was broken and unusable. We had 6 Adults and 1 child which the accommodation was perfect in size.
