Great Stay!

This house far exceeded expectations. The walk to the beach was very easy, less than 3 minutes. We brought our own beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. but this place had it all and then some. The house itself is very spacious, clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

This Location was a lot of fun. It’s very spacious and clean. The canal in the back was a great spot to park my Waverunners. Cindy was easy to get into contact with, and check in and check out process was rather simple and straightforward.

Beautiful property

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach home! The house itself was stunning—bright, clean, and full of charming beachy touches that made it feel both relaxing and fun. We stayed with our family and grandson, and it was the perfect setup for making memories together.The amenities were excellent and made our stay so comfortable. While there was quite a bit of seaweed in the ocean early in our trip, it cleared out nicely before we left, and we were able to enjoy the beach even more. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would absolutely return!Oh…and Cindy was quick to answer all our questions. Thanks Cindy!

A Mother to Remember

Since 2022 my family has gathered in Mexico Beach area in remembrance of my mother who remains where scattered around the bay. The Sandy crab provided yet another unique experience for my love ones to come as one to enjoy fun, laughter and to share the love we all have for my mother. Thanks for sharing your home, it was great!

Perfect stay!

The property was very clean, very well decorated and centrally located. The beach is close, you can see it from the front door and from the balcony off the queen bedroom and it’s very walkable! The back deck is perfect for drinking coffee in the mornings. The pool was also a very close walk and very nice. There’s a row of shops and some food truck/restaurants just up the sidewalk. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

Relaxing, quiet beach vacation

The Sandy Crab was the perfect place for our family beach vacation. The house offered plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable and was tranquil and relaxing. The beach is a short walk away, and the place provides everything you need to enjoy your time there. Cindy was an excellent host and was a great communicator. We had a blast with our two-year-old and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mexico Beach.

Beach Beauty

This property was perfect for our family vacation. The house is very clean and equipped with all the amenities you might need. The community pool is large and clean. The beach access is a very short stroll from the front door. The property manager was excellent. She promptly responded to all inquiries. Would stay here again. Mexico Beach is a gem!

The Perfect Place

Our host Cindy was amazing and over the top helpful! She responded quickly with thoughtful answers to every question. The home was very clean and also had an extra feel of home! So many thoughtful extras around the house had us well stocked for our vacation. The location felt safe. Very quiet and peaceful area. Easy access to the beach. It seemed they were doing some off season mantaince around the pool/dock area and they were thoughtful in their work and we were still able to enjoy the area! If I could give Cindy and her home more then 5 stars I would!! Rent this house and enjoy a relaxing trip! We would gladly rent from Cindy again!

RELAXING

We spent a week at the Sandy Crab with our 3 college age daughters and had the best opportunity to just relax. The walk to the beach is short and easy, the beach chairs and umbrella made the beach comfy! The house was cool and had plenty of comfortable seating and beds. We enjoyed the decks and walking to the pool and hot tub as well. We drive down to Port St Joe for delicious grouper at Krazy Fish and ice cream and the Sugar Shack. We came to relax and Mexico Beach and the Sandy crab did not disappoint!
