Excellent Beach Stay

The Happy Crab condo was very conveniently located in Gulf Shores. The condo and all facilities were clean and well kept. Communication before and during our stay was always reliable. The building staff was always around and very friendly and helpful. We look forward to staying at the Happy Crab again. It was a perfect beach stay.

Excellent location, wonderful stay!

Amazing place! Will definitely come back. Detailed instructions for check in, place was very clean, so many amenities within the condo- had all the comforts of home. Beautiful view from the balcony, watched dolphins several mornings. Super easy access to the beach, just take elevator down and you’re there. Love the simplistic complex, very quiet, well secured for only residents. Only complaint was that one elevator wasn’t working the entire time, which made for long waits. We look forward to returning, highly recommend this condo!
