About this property

Spacious, Modern, Fully Stocked, Fun for All Ages

The Hermit Crab is a clean, warm and homey 3bd/2ba beach house with a fully stocked kitchen boasting both a living room and loft for socializing, games and movies. There is custom art throughout by a variety of Northwest artists. Just steps down the quiet Sunset Street is miles of pristine sandy beaches where young and old alike enjoy exploring tide pools, and collecting sea shells and more.

The stocked kitchen includes waffle iron, pancake griddle, blender, all size pots and pans, spices, condiments, teas, coffee beans and grinder and more. There is also a plenty of room for all your groceries in the walk-in pantry just off the kitchen.

Bathrooms are clean and stocked with bath towels, hand towels, wash rags, soap, lotion and a hair dryer. The upstairs bathroom has extra shelving so there is room for everyone's items.

The living room has plenty of seating with new leather couches and a comfy recliner centered around the gas fireplace and flat screen TV. The beautiful living room is surrounded by 2 stories windows that give a great open feeling and awesome views of the stars on those clear summer nights.

The open loft overlooks two stories of windows and the living room. It is stocked with games, books, videos, Wii, and a second flat screen TV.. This is a favorite hangout for kids and teens.

Outside the Hermit Crab there are lots of fun actiivies to take advantage of. Take a bike ride around the neighborhood on one of the 3 or 4 bikes ranging from child size to adult.
Play horse shoes along the lavender garden. Hang out on the back deck for refreshments and BBQ. Gather around the campfire in the evening to roast marshmallows, tell stories, sing songs or just enjoy the peace and tranquility of the crackling fire and ocean waves.

When your are ready to call it a night you can sleep like a baby in one of the new plush pillow top beds while the kiddos cozy up in the bunk room setup with 4 twin beds and giggle themselves to sleep.

This beach house was designed for fun and relaxation for all. Once you've experienced the Hermit Crab beach rental you'll want to come back for more!

Great place to stay!
The house was clean and comfortable. Great location! We come back to Nedonna beach every few years and this house is great. Super comfy beds, a fun loft to play games in, and just a short, easy walk to the beach. We had a great stay, and would stay again. Our only minor complaints were that there wasn’t shampoo/conditioner in every bathroom, the hand soap seemed watered down or something, and the toilet paper was like 1/2 ply. 😂 But overall we loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Burton

Host profile image
We are a family of 4. We enjoy fishing, crabbing, and doing fun beach stuff like camp fires, building things with driftwood, hunting for sea shells, taking pictures of the nature and the outdoors. As a family we really enjoyed spending time at the beach so we decided to build our Hermit Crab. We were all involved. Our children came up with its name. We designed the layout so that it would create a fun place for playing and sleeping for all ages.It brings us great joy to be able to share what we all enjoy so much with others.

Why they chose this property

There is something for everyone inside and outside. The open layout with lots of seating allows everyone to be together in comfort. More cooking supplies, spices, condiments, and fresh coffee that any other vacation home you have ever visited!

What makes this property unique

The secluded location while also being so close the the beach is one thing that makes the Hermit Crab unique. On the side you will experience hand etched windows, local photos, hand crafted furniture created by artist from the Northwest that give the Hermit Crab that special touch.
