This vibrant vacation rental practically shouts "beach house" in rainbow color! Live the laidback Gulf Coast lifestyle just 350 yards from the sand and surf.

Spread out among the vast private outdoor space with a wraparound deck and an oversized covered patio in a grassy fenced yard. Sunbathe in a lounge chair on the top deck or admire the pristine salt waters from one of the colorful captain's chairs. The ground level features a pink porch swing, a lounge area, and bartop seating with a convenient outdoor sink. Fix yourself a frozen cocktail to sip while you watch the palm trees on the property sway in the breeze.

Head upstairs to the stilt home's interior living space, and you'll find it to be just as bright and welcoming as the exterior.

Will book again

4.5!! Just as pictured! Walking distance to the beach if you like. Was very clean on arrival. Beds were comfy (usually an issue in some rentals). Only complaint we had was the a/c had a hard time keeping the home cool during the day, therefore it was just a little warmer than we prefer. We did also wish there were two sets of towels since we stayed more than a few days and had 6 people. I understand washing yourself, which we didn’t mind but having one set to use while one was washing would have been great. Overall amazing stay and will definitely be booking this property again!!

Crabby Patty Is a Happy Place!

We love Crabby Patty! The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and everything was as described in the listing. Vacasa communicated with us often throughout the rental process until the end of our stay. We highly recommend Crabby Patty. She made us Happy!

Bright Cute Beachy perfection! Decorated so nicely! Super clean and cozy!

During the breezy nights just wish it had a fire pit in the back yard like the neighbors have. That would be the only thing I’d add. Other than that we loved our stay!

It's a Do-Over

Really liked staying here. It was clean and very inviting. When we we first looked at this house for a weekend getaway, we wanted to make sure it looked "comfy. And based on the on line pictures it met our expectations. When we arrived, it was better than expected. Clean, and Comfortable, Beds were great, enough linens for us. Everything was great. Living room is some where to enjoy hanging out and just relaxing. Its a do over for us!

House was fine and suited our needs. A 10 digit code to open the door seemed extreme. The A/C struggled during the day and the house got very warm, never getting cooler than 78 degrees until after 10 or 11 PM. The cookware was disgusting. Each pot or pan that was used had to be cleaned before using. The kitchen had exactly one dish towel. Who only has one dish towel in a house that sleeps more than six people?! The patio downstairs was nice and we enjoyed using it.

Location was what we were looking for since it was very close to relatives home. Access to beach was very easy due to the neighborhood private golf cart/walking path entry. We did find a need for use of the Home Defense spray provided due to ants in the kitchen and making their way into refrigerator because of poor door seal. Ants ruined quite a bit of our food supplies. We did find a sewing needle in the living room floor, thankfully no bare feet found it. Would be nice to have access to lift, additional towels and hair dryer. Overall it was a nice stay.

Great living space and outdoor space

Crabby Patty was perfect for family with young children and a dog. Plenty of shaded outdoor space and completely fenced. Cleaning crew had it spotless when we checked in but forgot to dry the towels. All was fine once we found them in the dryer and turned it on. Also, there was no garden hose on-site. Take your own if you want to rinse off beach chairs, etc.

Best stay at the Crabby Patty

I absolutely fell in love with this house! it was in a great location, the beach was literally down the way with easy access. Just overall everything was amazing. We brought food to make during the week because crystal beach is more of a secluded place with very little places to choose from which was fine we only ate out twice during our stay and the food trucks were great to us! Also love how this place allowed our fur baby to come with us she is an elderly dog and she enjoyed her stay as well she slept pretty much during the day but also loved going outside to enjoy her free time! any place we stay they usually have big rules for pets but this place made it much easier like i was at home! I will definitely be coming back to this place its perfect!!! thank you for making us feel right at home

Great stay.

Perfect stay for my family. Thanks! There was a mixup on checkin in which the keys were in the wrong location and the key holder was open with no keys. This concerned us as we didn’t know if there were keys stolen out there or not. Our stay was great, but it started a little concerning. Please tighten this up for future visitors and everything will be great.

Cute and Cheerful

Everything was clean, beautifully decorated and cheerful. There was all the needed kitchenware. Good AC and comfy bed. Good location, but a golf cart is still highly recommended with little ones. It was a bit of a walk through hot deep sand to the house for bathroom breaks. The only thing we would’ve liked that was missing was coffee. We assumed there’d be some available, so we didn’t bring it with us. All in all a great experience. We would stay again.
