CapeSanBlas Bright, End Unit •Short walk to neighborhood private beach •2 Pools
Welcome to The Crabby Paddy—a bright, cheerful, and inviting end-unit townhome with just a short walk to the beautiful beaches of Cape San Blas. This cozy coastal retreat offers fresh décor, plenty of natural light, and all the comforts of home to make your stay easy, relaxing, and memorable.
Start your mornings with a peaceful stroll to the shoreline to hear the waves roll in and feel the soft sand beneath your feet. Spend the day soaking up the sun, searching for shells, swimming, or simply unwinding on the quiet beaches of the Forgotten Coast. In the evenings, head back out to catch one of our unforgettable Gulf sunsets—you can even build a small beach fire and roast hot dogs or s’mores while you watch the sky glow.
When you’re ready to relax, The Crabby Paddy welcomes you with fresh paint, clean and simple coastal décor, and a warm, homey feel. The kitchen is fully stocked for guests who enjoy cooking, but you’re also just a short drive from some of the area’s best fresh-seafood restaurants.
Both bathrooms are equipped with fluffy towels and thoughtful amenities, so you can pack a little lighter. And don’t forget your bathing suits, fishing gear, or favorite beach toys—the fun here is endless.
Whether you’re lounging by one of the two community pools, exploring the Cape, or unwinding after a day in the sun, The Crabby Paddy offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and coastal simplicity.
Happy beachin’—we can’t wait to host you!

We enjoyed our stay this weekend at Cape San Blas! This home was perfect for our needs. It was very clean and the host was easy to communicate with! We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!!
We really enjoyed our stay here! It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable and it’s in a great location! The quiet gated community close to the State Park was exactly what we were looking for. We’ll definitely consider staying here again when we visit the Cape!
Everything was as described! The condo was very clean and had all the necessities. The host was reachable for questions and information. The walk to the beach was easy and quick. The host provided all the beach essentials to make your travel lighter. We will be back to this location! We loved the Crabby Paddy!
I really can’t stay enough good things about our stay at the Crabby Paddy. From the very beginning, Eve was extremely communicative, made sure to check in to make sure we were OK once we got settled. She let me know the day before our trip that the washing machine had gone out, but a replacement was already ordered, and on its way! Even the washing machine replacement was seamless. The condo is every bit as beautiful as depicted in the photos. Very well appointed, beds were comfortable, the walk to the beach was easy. I’ve used VRBO several times, but this was absolutely my best experience. Can’t wait to go back!
The home was very clean and well stocked with needed items. The pools and the beach were very close and so beautiful. Thanks you for sharing this amazing home with us.

We are thrilled that you loved the Crabby Paddy! Y'all were great guests and we'd love to host you again!! Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
The Crabby Paddy was beyond perfect! One of the best places we have stayed and Eve was the perfect host. She has all the little details covered. As big coffee fans, the coffee bar she has set up was our favorite! The master king size bed was very comfortable. The condo location was perfectly situated near one of the pools and just a short stroll to the beach access and the beach pool. The outdoor shower and garage closet were a plus to rinse off after a day at the beach. We have no complaints! Great stay!

Jen and her husband left the property very clean and were amazing guests!! We’d love to host them again!! Thank you so much for choosing The Crabby Paddy!!!
We were just on the Cape for a few days of fishing. The accommodations could not have been cleaner nor could the host have been more helpful. I’ve stayed a the Barrier Dunes many times and this property rates at the top.
Great townhome/condo where comfort and convenience are maximized. Extremely Well stocked. Well decorated. Well maintained. Well lighted. Made for a great short stay at Cape San Blas in a convenient spot.

Love your great review of The Crabby Paddy!! We really appreciate it and we hope y'all come back very soon!! Thank you for choosing us!
Happy Summer,
Eve
The property was everything we could have hoped for and more! Eve was easy to reach and responded immediately when we had a question. There were even board games for us to play when we had a rainy day and couldnt go to the beach. During our stay, there wasnt a single thing we found ourselves needing that wasnt already there! Overall, I have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend this beautiful condo for anyone looking to take a relaxing vacation! We will definitely be back!
We will be back! The townhome had EVERYTHING you could ever need! We had gone shopping before arriving and we didn't need to buy anything such as trash bags, paper towels, soap, dishwashing pods, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

About the host
Hosted by Eve
I am a beach girl at heart. I grew up in the Virginia Beach, VA area and spent a lot of time at the beach growing up. I have always wanted to be back at the beach and to have a property that was fun and comfy to visit with our family whenever possible. We have lived in Texas for the past 25 years, but also did a stint in the Midwest before moving to Texas. We found a great place on Cape San Blas to occasionally get our “beach fix”, but to also share it with you! This property is managed by us and not a property management company. We care about this property very much and want you to make yourselves at home! We are readily available should you have questions. We hope you love it as much as we do! Happy Beachin', Eve
Why they chose this property
This property has been freshly painted, updated furniture, and stylish decor was added! The beds are nice and comfortable. The kitchen stocked with hopefully anything you need to make a fabulous meal. We love this property because it is a very quick walk to the beach on the Gulf and is such a beautiful beach! The neighborhood, Barrier Dunes, is full of friendly people and low to no traffic for kids to ride their bikes or scooters. Cape San Blas is a small beach town without any of the large hotels and crazy nightlife. We want you to come have fun but also relax at the beach, the pool, or on the deck! Enjoy!
