The Fiddler Crab is a beachfront cottage on the private and secluded St. Teresa Beach. St. Teresa is three miles of sprawling sugar sand on one of Florida's 41 aquatic preserves. Named The Forgotten Coast—this is truly one of the few unspoiled remaining hidden gems of Florida's coast!

The beach and the Gulf are just steps out the door from this modern, coastal cottage. The home features 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open concept living space and an outdoor shower. As you enter thehome you are greeted by a large gathering space with sweeping views of the water and beach. The kitchen features quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and an island for guests to congregate. Ocean mist lower cabinets, boat cleat cabinet pulls, and ship lap walls give the room a coastal flair. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining space with a large glass table that seats up to eight people and a large buffet for serving. The sitting area has a sleeper sofa as well as two accent chairs—a great place to gaze out onto the water and watch the world go by.

Next to the living space are two bedrooms each with their own en-suite bathroom. A third full size bath is adjacent to the kitchen as well. The guest room has 2 futons that makes into 2 full beds as well as a single bunk bed so this room offers sleeping for up to five guests. The master suite offers a king size bed and reading nook. The spacious master bath has two side by side sinks, a large shower, and direct access to the outdoor shower.

    Fun time at the beach. Fiddler Crab was great for our family. Enjoyed the evening sunsets and walks on the beach. Overall the house was in good clean condition. Could use a few updates outside several screens were torn, back could use a good pressure washing but overall great place to stay. Inside as clean and updated! Would stay again for sure.

    Throughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house in the most peaceful location. House was spectacular and just steps away from the beach. You can spend hours at the beach and only see a handful of people. Fishing is amazing right from the shore no need for a boat. Will definitely be staying again!

    The view was spectacular! The house was perfect for us. Everything was as pictured and described. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation rental this is the one.

    We have stayed here many times, and will keep coming back. There is no place quite like St. Teresa. The house is simple and perfect for us. right on the water, you wake up to a sunrise shining right in the windows over Alligator point. The wildlife around there is a treasure for sure, and being able to sit on the deck and be a part of it puts this place head and shoulders above the rest. October is a great time to visit as well, the water is still warm, the air is crisp, and the night sky is one of the best you will find. So little light pollution makes this place even more unique.

    This was our first time in this part of Florida. Very laid back and peaceful. The only downside is that it is pretty far from shopping and restaurants. There are things to do and a few good restaurants though, you just have to drive a way. We had the beach practically all to ourselves. One of the best experiences was with the local people. All were super nice! The house was very cute and clean. The only reason for 4 stars was that the yard wasn't mowed until our last day there.

    Upon arrival the house seemed fine. However, when we went to get in bed the first night we found sheets that were not clean (blood on master sheets) and sand/dirt in all the other beds, with no additional sheets in the house. I called the three numbers listed on the checkin email and left a voicemail with our house manager, and messaged them on the app. Around 36 hours later I received a call asking if I needed sheets. I declined since we had to wash everything the night we got in. Tuesday night after showering I noticed that my blonde hair was now a terrible shade of orange and some of our clothes had been ruined in the washer. I messaged the manager and she said said she would let the owner know. The owner called and spoke with my husband who walked him through some steps to make sure the filter would come on that night at the well. The water was still terrible the remainder of our stay. We also had issues with our garbage can. The information we received strictly said to only use the can by the road at our driveway. Well the can was there the first day and on the 2nd day it had a lock that required a key to dispose of the garbage. I spoke with the manager and she said she would find out what was going on and would call me back. I never received a call. Two days later I called her and she said I was supposed to use the can at the other driveway because the owner owns both houses. I’m not sure how we were supposed to know that. Overall, I would not recommend this place!
