The beds were like heaven. Shower had no water pressure and shower head was too high up. Air vents dripped condensation on table and chair.. Should offer an early check in. But it was an amazing trip. Thank you

One of a kind

Sweet little home with everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. Loved the lagoon out the back door and Gulf access across the road (10 minute walk). Restaurants, shopping and State park just a short drive, just far enough that traffic is minimal.minimal

Perfect Vacation Spot!

Great location. Close to everything yet still secluded enough to make for a very relaxing and peaceful vacation. It was amazing having quick access to both the bay and the beach. We can’t wait to come back!

Rolf's Crabby Review

We enjoyed our stay at Rolf’s Crabby Daddy. The cabin had all the necessary accessories for a family who plans to cook at the location. The neighborhood was peaceful, however the cabin next to us was vacant most of the week so take that evaluation with a grain of salt. The walk was further than ten minutes to the beach. I walk a lot, and it still took me fifteen minutes minimum to reach PUBLIC beach access. There are private accesses everywhere, but then you must be comfortable knocking on someone’s front door and possibly getting permission to walk through their property. Choose your own adventure. One of our family members has a physical disability, so mobility concerns are more acute on our outings. If this is not your situation, then the beach access distance may not be as big of an issue for you. An island of simplicity in an ocean of gaudiness. Bring a few beach cruisers and this place is solid.

This was a good size house for a small family. Plenty of kitchen utensils and pots and pans to be able to cook at home without going out every night. Very well priced too.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is located on the bayside and there is a path back to the bay. Perfect place for kids! Calm water and a small beach. Short walk across the street to the beach. Your access is through Rolf’s Retreat on the beachside. It’s the blue house across the street.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great and the size of the cottage is perfect for a couple or small family. We only stayed 2 nights of our trip, however, as something in the cottage triggered my wife's asthma/allergies and the windows wouldn't open in order to get fresh air.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a magnificent experience renting this beach house! It was beyond clean and the service was amazing! Access to the beach was right across the street and the bay access was directly behind the house so we had private access to both sides! For those Rainey days they had a nice TV and an relaxing place to lounge! With the main strip just minutes down the road there was always things to do and places to eat. I HIGHLY recommend staying here if you want a great experience with you stay at the beach!

Overall fantastic, just a few issues

The patio and place were so cute and it was extremely comfortable! We absolutely loved the deck view overlooking the water and it was just a quick walk to the beach! As for what was included within, there were 5 listed to stay for 4 nights and all we received were two rolls of toilet paper and two trash bags. For that many people and that many days it's just not going to be enough. This place can sleep up to 8 and at $1800 for our stay, we would have thought a couple more rolls as well as some basic items like salt/pepper and sugar would be included. Plenty of kitchen utensils and cookware.

Our review

Overall we were very pleased. Our main complaint was with lighting. We never did find a way to turn on light over kitchen table so we were unable to play the board games and cards we brought at it after dark. Some table lamps didn't turn on.Many outlets seemed to have no power to them so we had to try several before finding ones that would charge our phone. The construction was unexpected but we were okay with that. The construction manager saw us outside and apologized for the fact that we had to have that going on . He was very nice. Mostly we had a great time!

Wonderful

Was looking for a little less expensive place to stay so I could take my children to the beach for their first time. This was a wonderful option. There were things I would’ve liked to have better, mainly the shower, but it’s all little things and I didn’t have the highest expections for those things. It was wonderful, in a great spot, and had easy access to the beach and that’s all I care/cared about. It was a nice little house and would be more then happy to stay there again. Not that it’s in a bad area or anything, it do make sure you keep your doors locked. Wrangling kids after a later night we forgot, and the guy next to us had cash stolen out of his vehicle, I had a gun stolen, and I’m pretty sure several other peoples vehicles had been gone through around us. The AC wasn’t the best, it got hot during the day, but again really not that big of deal to me and what I was looking for. Overall it was a wonderful place, had everything thing we needed, and had an absolute blast. Met the owners of the place to while we were there and they were incredible as well and super nice.

Crabby Daddy is the best!

This is the cutest little beach house in such a great location! Luckily my husband and I settled on this property rather than further east (where we usually stay) because little did we know there was a music festival happening the same weekend we were there. The pictures online looked like it was SO CROWDED but we were so relaxed and quiet at Crabby Daddy! Quick walk to the beach for my husband and I, and our little spot on the beach was also nice and secluded, even on a saturday. We brought our pup for his first vacation and he had a great time too. We were about 40 minutes away from the dog beach at Fort Morgan, as well as the ferry to Dauphin Island which has a couple of dog beaches. All in all it was the perfect location and we had an amazing weekend. We hope to be back to Crabby Daddy!
