Magical beach house, ocean views, luggage elevator, steps to the sand!

The home is very nice and being only two blocks from the beach it affords lovely views and sounds of the Gulf. Enjoy watching an amazing sunset from the balcony sitting area. The host was prompt was prompt in responding to messages There are quite a few stairs to climb to get to door which made the elevator wonderful for getting our luggage, cooler and grocery into the house. The house does not have keyless entry and we found the “realtor style” lockbox inconvenient to use in order to access or depart from the house. The home is nicely decorated with beach decor, the furniture was comfortable and large dining room table that seats 8 was a bonus! A table that size is not always available in a rental. The home has a very quiet dishwasher and a large drum top loading washing machine and front loading dryer. We enjoyed the home and will keep it on our radar for another visit to the area!

The home was amazing! Had everything you might need or want. You could never get tired of the sunsets, there. You can see the water from the decks but there are houses in the way. I used the zoom lens on my camera. There are lots of steps to get in.

Listing is accurate. Short walk to beach. Beautiful views from the porches. Stocked kitchen for dinners. Enjoyed our stay. Would recommend and stay again.

Overall it was a great stay! Beautiful views.

I would recommend it for multi family groups. The air conditioning is not even on all levels. Access to the beach was excellent. Communication from the owner and management was excellent.

We had a good week, although the place was smaller than anticipated. It was well stocked with hand soap and trash bags, even detergent. The gated deck was very nice. The bunk room is really more suited for kids, not adults. Bunks are low, I had to crawl in and out.

Amazing views very close to beach. Enjoyed morning coffee from the top deck. Plenty of beach accessories for the family! Lots of room for everyone! We had a great time!

We had a wonderful experience at Crane Cottage. The quiet neighborhood setting was just what we were looking for.Offers a short and direct walk to the beach where you will be presently surprised to find plenty of room to spread out as the area is not heavily populated. Our kids walked to the beach in the mornings and looked for shells by them selves as the area feels very secure. The house was well equipped and met all of our needs. A propane grill was a big plus. The kitchen had all the necessary components to cook our meals. Sunset views from the upper balcony were amazing!I would gladly recommend this property to anyone!

Weather was windy during our visit but the place worked out really nice

This was our second stay at this property. Home was very clean and owner was very easy to work with, especially with Hurricane Helene approaching. Will rebook every year if possible.

Enjoyed the peace that is in this great town! House was big and spacious and had what we needed.

Crane Cottage was an amazing beach home! It was our kids and grandkids first visit to Florida and we made so many memories we will cherish forever. We had amazing views of the Gulf from both decks. The beach home was very cozy and inviting and beautifully decorated! Our hosts were so wonderful and very quick to answer all our questions. We will definitely come back to visit and stay at Crane Cottage again!!

We had an excellent multi-family stay! The location to the beach access is great! Very short walk to the beach, or you can rent a golf cart to shuttle all of your beach gear to the access from multiple rental companies in the area. The home was well decorated and had comfortable beds! Plenty of dishes and kitchen cookware. The luggage lift was very handy for groceries and transport of daily cooler beach supplies! We will return the next time we visit the area!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beach house! It is perfect for families with young children, and had toys and games that were a huge hit. The walk to the beach was very short and the host had lots of toys and beach chairs to use. The kitchen was stocked well and labeled, but could use a little more plates, or plan on running the dish washer after most meals. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch every evening with the beach view and breeze, and the sunset views are wonderful from the top deck. If you like to go out to eat for meals, just know this area is mainly food trucks, with a few sit down restaurants. We would definitely consider coming back to this house!
