Rejuvenation Trip

The property is steps away from the sand and views from every room. It was equipped with everything you may need. Everyone was communicative, kind, and thoughtful of us as guests that it made our stay perfect and I would definitely stay there again. Given the opportunity, you should book your stay! It doesn't disappoint.

Fantastic Thanksgiving getaway!

What a fantastic Thanksgiving getaway! We were steps away from the beach and had a fantastic view from the porch! The Spicy Crab is pet friendly and we got to introduce our dog to the beach -‘our happy place! The house was perfect for our family of 5! The owner and rep were great with communicating with us. We didn’t have any issues at all! Thanks Spicy scrap for a great Thanksgiving with my mom!

Great stay!

We love the location because it was walkable to the beach. We took our dogs out for walks on the beach and they loved it! We enjoyed sitting on the deck with the dogs as well.

Great weekend at the beach!

We had a wonderful time at the beach and it is just steps away!! The patio is amazing! We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the morning drinking our coffee and listening to the waves rolling in. Wish the master bedroom had the bathroom attached to it. The bunk beds are a little small for our adult children. It is a great place to stay for a long weekend. There is a very small washer and dryer available for small loads and a vacuum cleaner too which is nice. I would suggest bringing paper plates, plastic utensils, napkins and trash bags for your stay. We had extra beautiful water this weekend and really enjoyed our visit.

Awesome trip

Spicy Crab provided the perfect mid-week beach getaway. The house was close enough to take our beach supplies across the walkover and had awesome views from the deck. We will be back!

A Week At The Beach

A total blast! My own fault I didn't read more, really wanted a bath tub. No outdoor grill. Outside lights never came on. An area to lock up fishing poles and other outdoor stuff would be very helpful. Vacuum was awesome because I have two dogs and used it daily. Not the last day, it was pouring rain and was very stressful getting on the road. The rest of it great! Our best visit for past 3 years! Curtain/blind on the front door, bathroom and kitchen window would be very beneficial.

Awesome Beach Getaway at The Spicy Crab!

This place was awesome! Super clean, bright, very comfortable, and had everything we needed for our four-day stay! The proximity to the beach was great, and the beach and surrounding area was so clean! Lots of room for us to spread out and play games on the rainy days, too. Will definitely book here again!

Property is exactly like pictures. The location is walking distance to the beach, no need to rent a golf cart or get a beach pass (money saver). Central AC and room units. Enough space for 2 families with kids. Shower heads downstairs to rinse sand off. Would definitely stay again.
