About this property
BARRIER ISLAND GEM! Private Ocean Access, Pool, Great Community, and Super Host
"Relax, Refresh, & Recharge" at PURPLE CRAB -- a barrier island gem in an area that many people rightly call "Paradise"!
This exceptional Vero Beach two-story townhome condo in a small, gated community features 2 bedrooms (each with its own en suite bathroom), private ocean access less than a 5-minute walk away, oversized resort-style heated community pool, a great clubhouse with fitness room and sauna, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, and so much more. Very active in-season social activities from January - March/April. Responsive and dedicated Host/Property Manager lives on-site in a nearby condo for most of the year. Lush greenery abounds, and guests say that staying at this small, 69-unit friendly and welcoming Coralstone community is truly a unique and memorable experience.
The condo is bright, clean, quiet, comfortable, and exceptionally well-equipped. Just bring your clothes and relax!
The on-site Host/Property Manager provides "concierge-level" service that past Guests have truly appreciated, as their reviews verify. An orientation to the condo and the property, local walking/biking/auto tours, restaurant and shopping recommendations, suggestions for arts and recreational activities, and much more -- all personalized to your specific needs and interests -- are available and free, just for the asking.
Vero Beach itself offers a vibrant arts and entertainment scene, wonderful restaurants, golf, shopping, museums and cultural institutions, year-round speciality festivals, and much more -- all within a 20-minute drive from your condo. McKee Botanical Garden, Riverside Theater, Vero Beach Museum of Art, Jungle Trail, Vero Beach Theater Guild, Jackie Robinson Training Complex, Emerson Center, and Vero Beach Opera are all located right in town. Venture a bit farther away to visit Kennedy Space Center, (90 mins) Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge (15 mins), Navy SEAL Museum (30 mins), Walt Disney World (90 mins), and many other notable attractions.
Purple Crab rentals are available year-round -- the high-demand January - March block, along with monthly rentals the rest of the year. Heavily discounted off-season rates and possible shorter 14-day minimum stays are available for some off-season months.
This is a NO PETS and NO SMOKING condo. A rental application to the owner's condo association is required -- minimum of 2 weeks advance notice is preferred. There is a mandatory $100 non-refundable application fee to the owner's condo association (listed as Administrative Fee in the VRBO system) for this transaction for each booking. Property Manager will send the rental application form upon receiving your confirmed booking. Note: This is a very simple and quick form to complete, but it is a condo association requirement for all Guests.
Coralstone itself, Vero Beach, and the entire Treasure Coast area is the ideal location for your well-deserved downtime. Make Purple Crab your perfect "home away from home" and take advantage of everything this sensational property has to offer!
