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 location for rest and relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 loved the location since it was farther out and away from most of the crowds and business, yet close enough that we could do whatever we wanted. Size of the home was perfect for us (two adults) but if you had 3 or 4 small children this would work out as well.

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!

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.

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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. 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.
