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 Stay

We really enjoyed our time at the beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed with the exception of a sponge or dish cloth for washing dishes but that is not a deal breaker.The beds were comfortable and the view was lovely.We had a great time with family and friends.

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!

Week At The Beach

Overall, excellent! Love the floor plan! The walk was short to the beach and easy for the dogs to be walked and put back during the heat of the day, etc. Disappointed there was no grill to go with the deck and amazing views, but not a deal breaker. Maybe more information in an email or in your information book regarding beach etiquette for those that don't frequent the beach and closing times of local restaurants. We arrived Mother's Day, spent our 24th Anniversary then GoTopless weekend! We had a blast!

Beautiful Beach House with Amazing Views

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at the Spicy Crab and it was perfect! The house was very well maintained and clean! The AC in the house worked amazing. I loved that the house had washer and dryer available to use, it came in handy. Being able to walk to the beach was the highlight of the trip. We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the deck watching the waves roll in. We used the guest guide book left by the owners for restaurant ideas and was pleased with every one we were able to try! Definitely coming back!

The perfect getaway!

We loved our stay at The Spicy Crab! This house was perfect for our family of 6 and small dog. The SHORT (1 minute!) walk to the beach meant we could go and stay all day or walk down and back a couple times just as easily. Our girls loved the bunk room and having their own bathroom. They used the 2nd queen room to play games and hangout too! We (the parents) appreciated being on the "other side" of the house and used the door from our room to sneak out and enjoy our coffee every morning. The house was well stocked with amenities; so many beach towels (even though we brought our own), basic supplies (hand soap/towels, TP, paper towels), and the kitchen had everything we needed too! The beverage fridge was a nice thing we didn't know we'd appreciate so much. Nice big kitchen table let us do puzzles and play games when it was raining. Lots of hooks in the bathrooms to keep wet towels/suits off the floors. The keyless entry was so convenient - quick to lock/unlock and we didn't have to worry about remembering an actual key. Very cozy house! Surfside Food Mart a mile or two down the road was perfect for picking up a few grocery items we forgot. We had everything we needed for a quick/local-ish beach gateway. We highly recommend The Spicy Crab!

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!

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.

PERFECT SPOT to getaway!

The beach house is absolutely perfect. Just a few steps to the water! The house has everything you’ll need and more!! The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the essentials. We cooked plenty of large meals! The host was quick to respond, and the house was absolutely spotless when we arrived! The restaurant and bar recommendations in the welcome binder did not disappoint! We got a vehicle beach pass and drove on the beach! You can sit on the patio and listen to the waves!! We didn’t want to come home, that’s for sure! This was a wonderful spot to make memories with our family!!! Thank you for everything! We plan on coming back to your beach house often! :)
