Everything was great - our host was very responsive and easy to work with. The house was just as described - it was very clean with plenty of amenities. The pool was very nice, and the location was great - short distance from the beach and plenty of restaurants in the area. This fishing in the channel was pretty good as well. I would stay again and would recommend it to others!

An enjoyable stay.

Very comfortable house. I had to supply very little as owners provided plenty of TP, detergent, etc. The pool and grounds are well maintained and communication with the owners was excellent. I would rent again.

Memorial weekend stay

Staying at the Sandy Crab was a treat! Plenty of room for each guest to not feel ontop of each other. Beautiful neighborhood and super close access to the beach. Stores are local and convenient along with a fun ice cream shop near by! Will visit this home again if we get the chance.

We loved staying in this house. We are a family of 5 and it was perfect! My kids loved swimming in the pool and fishing in the canal. It is located in a beautiful, safe and quiet neighborhood. The home is close to stores and restaurants and it’s a quick drive to from the beach. The property owners are easy to communicate with and respond quickly. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to Sarasota! We would definitely stay there again.

LOVELY, LOVELY RETREAT!

The home was super cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the dock, and looking for wildlife. It’s very close to the bridge to Siesta Key, and the beaches. Yet it’s far enough from the craziness, that it’s just a relaxing retreat. We will definitely stay here again when we visit this area!

Sarasota Vacation

this was our second year at the house and it was better than the first. Heated pool was very nice and location to beech, shopping and eating is excellant. Owners are very responsive to any issues that may develop during your stay. If we come to Sarasota in future years, we will most likely try to book this home again.

Our family loved this property!

Our family loved this property. Great location for getting to the beaches, fishing off the dock was enjoyed by all and the swimming pool was great fun. The house was immaculate upon arrival and owners communication was exemplary. We really appreciated all the supplies at the house from beach and fishing equipment to coffee and washing supplies. I would highly recommend this house to others. Thanks for having us!

5 Star Sandy 🦀

We had a fantastic staycation at Sandy 🦀. The house has everything you need to make your stay easy and comfortable. My kids loved being able to get up in the morning and go for a swim or at night before bed. The location is very convenient close to eveything you would need and just a short drive to the beach. If you still want easy access to Siesta Key but do not want to deal with the crowds, this is a perfect choice.

Everything you might think of!

This property has everything you might think of, from coffee beans with a grinder to specific make-up cleaning towelettes. We had a fabulous time. The kids were in the pool at 7:30am and the pool was quite a treat! I would often go down to the water to do morning meditation with the sun rising - a perfect spot. The house itself is close to all the "hot spots" we wanted to see. Highly recommend.
