Such a quiet area, yet just a short walk to the beach. We were so happy we could extend our stay! The Sandy Crab was clean and nicely furnished, we felt right at home!

This property was just as it shows and great location to the beach. We enjoyed all of the wonderfully stocked extras including a wagon for the beach and beach chairs! The owner was very quick to respond and good to work with…the whole experience was super smooth and highly recommended!

Thank you for the review! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay, Xiomy! You and your family are welcome back any time. :)
This house far exceeded expectations. The walk to the beach was very easy, less than 3 minutes. We brought our own beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. but this place had it all and then some. The house itself is very spacious, clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
This Location was a lot of fun. It’s very spacious and clean. The canal in the back was a great spot to park my Waverunners. Cindy was easy to get into contact with, and check in and check out process was rather simple and straightforward.
Very comfortable and well equipped! It was nice to be able to walk to the ocean, and come back to a quiet area on the canal if we wanted a break from the wind. We loved it so much that we extended our stay!

Perfect place! The beach is a quick walk across the street, and the pool is seen from the back yard. We had everything we needed. Thank you, Cindy, for being a great host!

You're so welcome, Kim - And you and your family are welcome back at The Sandy Crab any time! :)
The Sandy Crab was the perfect place for our family beach vacation. The house offered plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable and was tranquil and relaxing. The beach is a short walk away, and the place provides everything you need to enjoy your time there. Cindy was an excellent host and was a great communicator. We had a blast with our two-year-old and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mexico Beach.

Thank you so much for your review, Eric! Please come back and stay any time - I give discounts to return guests! :)
The property was very clean, very well decorated and centrally located. The beach is close, you can see it from the front door and from the balcony off the queen bedroom and it’s very walkable! The back deck is perfect for drinking coffee in the mornings. The pool was also a very close walk and very nice. There’s a row of shops and some food truck/restaurants just up the sidewalk. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.
