We absolutely loved our stay at the "He Crab She Crab" house! The location was perfect for a family reunion over the holiday. Communication with the host was excellent from booking to checking out. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for cooking and entertaining family. We were just a few blocks from the beach and the area was very quiet and relaxing. We would definitely book this home again when we come back to Virginia for a family vacation!

This property was perfect for our multi-aged family: from six months old to 71 years, everything was provided for all of us! Elaine and Mark are wonderful hosts - the home comes with many amenities that made traveling with young children effortless. We especially enjoyed the bikes. Beach access was close by and even easier to use since we could cycle over. I recommend this property highly!

From the start, the hosts were amazing at communication. They shared check in which was so easy to manage. They shared all amenities around Sandbridge which helped eliminate “where should we go, what’s the best seafood,” We had great choices from the start. My family enjoyed the kayaks that were available and bikes for bike rides. Even the neighbors were friendly and introduced themselves. The location was great for fishing in the canal and a short walk to the beach any time of day. Our dog Ivy enjoyed sunbathing on the back porch and in the yard, in addition to walks in the neighborhood and the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a pellet ice cube maker which was my favorite!!! The shade tree in the back allowed for enjoyment watching the fishermen fish and hanging out with our family. Spacious in all areas for the family. Very family friendly, quiet neighborhood. We will be back in the future! Thanks to Elaine and Mark!

We enjoyed our family vacation in Sandbridge! This rental property was fully equipped for the 14 month and 16 month grandchildren! We loved the beach wagon, strollers, baby bike seat, high chairs and gate at the top of the stairs! The toddlers played with the sandbox and play set too! The beach is walkable, but closer may have been better with the little ones.

We evacuated from FL before Hurricane Milton Landfall and decided to turn an unexpected trip back “home” into a mini vacation! This is the most accommodating and family friendly Host that we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare/serve meals for a large family. With all of the sleeping accommodations, there was no shortage of options for our family. We spent the majority of our trip at the home as the host provides an inclusive environment with many amenities at no additional cost! We rode bikes to the beach, lounged on the patio, enjoyed many meals, played board games, Fished off the dock at the property, and created lots of laughs and memories. One detail about the property that I would note is that the Kitchen, and Living area are on the second level of the property, which could be difficult for people with physical disabilities. But, it was great for our needs!

We had a wonderful time at He Crab She Crab. Check in was easy. All the information shared by the owners regarding the area, places to visit, restaurants, grocery stores,etc was very helpful. We enjoyed grilling out and found the kitchen to be stocked with anything we could possibly need. We had a lot of fun with games we found in the sunroom and enjoyed the bikes immensely. The beach was easy to get to and we went down for sunrises and to see the crabs on the beach at night. It is a beautiful home and very comfortable. We had a lot of laughs and made a lot of family memories. We all agreed that we need to return to He Crab She Crab.
