This property was super clean with a great layout. Bedroom on main floor was perfect for elderly father. Nice to have all the rest upstairs for those that want to sleep in later. Kitchen has everything we needed for my chef son to cook for us. No need to bring toys, beach chairs and beach towels. Location was not crowded which was what we wanted. Great house with lots of extras. Thanks for everything.

Perfect family getaway

We had a great vacation at the sand crab hideaway. The house was beautiful, clean, and had a beautiful deck & ocean views. We loved that it came with everything we needed— all the beach chairs & toys & more. Our kids enjoyed making s’mores at night on the firepit. Overall would recommend and stay here again!

Excellent property and hosts

The home was in excellent condition and all facets of the property were as advertised. The hosts were great to work with. We used the fire pit every night and they replaced the propane tank immediately when it was empty. The proximity to the beach was a plus and made it easy to go back-and-forth as needed. The kayak, paddleboard, beach chairs, tent, umbrella, and beach toys were fantastic. The beds were very comfortable and the home was extremely clean.

Amazing views and easy access to the beach!

If you are looking for a family friendly house with easy access to the beach this is your place! We loved that there were plenty of beach toys and chairs for the whole family! The short walk to the beach made it easy for the back and forths with the littles and drink refills. All the beds were very clean and comfy, too!

5 Stars Doesn’t Do It Justice

For the last 22 years, we have stayed at various condos and houses along the Gulf Coast from Fort Morgan down to Cape San Blas. This house was, by far, the best place we have ever stayed. The firepit and the smores were a bit hit with our young adult children. The little things, like trash bags, soap, aluminum foil, and coffee supplies, were a big hit with the adults. Not having to lug our beach gear from home to the beach was also a big plus. I cannot say enough about this house. It was big and spacious and fit our every need and want. The hosts were phenomenal and stayed in close communication during our stay. If I could give Sandcrab Hideaway 10 stars, I would!!

Everything is this house is perfect, views were spectacular!

This place was an absolute treasure for our family of 12. It had everything we needed and we felt right at home from the moment we walked in the door. From the cooking supplies to the beach towels provided... everything was perfect. The only thing I can say bad about it is that we had to leave. We will definitely be coming back to stay here next year! Great responses from the owner every time I messaged and the views...oh the views were spectacular!
