Nice Family Getaway

Our family was pleased with our stay.It was by far the least crowded beach that we have ever stayed at-very private! The house had all we needed and the short walk to the beach was a huge plus. I would definitely recommend to anyone that wants a quiet,private beach vacation.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! We love the 1 acre beachfront lot also. The house was completely gutted and renovated in 2018 when I purchased it so I'm not sure what needs updating!

Out of the way beach experience

Quirky Crab was ideal for us. Pet friendly, remote as in away from the usual beach scene. Short walk from rear deck to the beach, very private. We really enjoyed our stay.

Many sitting areas, front porch, screened room as well as 2 sets of sliding glass doors making the living room an excellent sitting area with oceanfront views as well. Thanks Sharon for hosting us!

Great stay at the Quirky Crab

We enjoyed our week on the beach. The house was very comfortable, clean and had a great view of the beach. The dog lived the fenced yard. We enjoyed several great dinners in the area as well as Apalachicola. Beach was beautiful. Hope to return in the future, Thank you

Great family getaway

The location is beatiful and very quiet. The beach was empty most of the time and we absolutely loved it! We were able to find a lot of shells on the beach and were even able to see a sea turtle being released from the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab.There were 6 adults and our dog and we had plenty of room. The house is exactly described and pictures. We hope to come back soon!

Relaxing week at the beach

We had an awesome, relaxing week at the Quirky Crab. The house was clean and up-to-date. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. Very few people on the beach even for a holiday weekend. Beautiful view! Would definitely stay again!

Relaxing days at the beach 🏝️

We love the Quirky Crab beach house and so did our pups,,, the house has everything needed for a fun beach getaway! We loved the sun deck, screened porch and the closeness to beach is priceless!! The entire yard is fenced so the dogs had a fun time running free & exploring 😎😎 thanks Sharon for hosting us 🏝️
