Great Stay

We really enjoyed our time at the beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed with the exception of a sponge or dish cloth for washing dishes but that is not a deal breaker.The beds were comfortable and the view was lovely.We had a great time with family and friends.

Great weekend at the beach!

We had a wonderful time at the beach and it is just steps away!! The patio is amazing! We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the morning drinking our coffee and listening to the waves rolling in. Wish the master bedroom had the bathroom attached to it. The bunk beds are a little small for our adult children. It is a great place to stay for a long weekend. There is a very small washer and dryer available for small loads and a vacuum cleaner too which is nice. I would suggest bringing paper plates, plastic utensils, napkins and trash bags for your stay. We had extra beautiful water this weekend and really enjoyed our visit.

Awesome trip

Spicy Crab provided the perfect mid-week beach getaway. The house was close enough to take our beach supplies across the walkover and had awesome views from the deck. We will be back!

Week At The Beach

Overall, excellent! Love the floor plan! The walk was short to the beach and easy for the dogs to be walked and put back during the heat of the day, etc. Disappointed there was no grill to go with the deck and amazing views, but not a deal breaker. Maybe more information in an email or in your information book regarding beach etiquette for those that don't frequent the beach and closing times of local restaurants. We arrived Mother's Day, spent our 24th Anniversary then GoTopless weekend! We had a blast!

Beautiful Beach House with Amazing Views

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at the Spicy Crab and it was perfect! The house was very well maintained and clean! The AC in the house worked amazing. I loved that the house had washer and dryer available to use, it came in handy. Being able to walk to the beach was the highlight of the trip. We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the deck watching the waves roll in. We used the guest guide book left by the owners for restaurant ideas and was pleased with every one we were able to try! Definitely coming back!
