Guest fave! Cute, comfy, beachside neighborhood, 2 pools! Great for children!

The Crabby Paddy is a very homey, bright, and cheery unit that is a really short walk to the ocean!! Simple, yet charming decor throughout that makes it feel so cozy. You'll feel right at home with all of the amenities and then some. There's nothing like a quick walk to the ocean to hear the waves crash & wiggle your toes in the sand of the Forgotten Coast. Spend the day at the beach, but be sure to come back to watch the gorgeous sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. You can even build a fire on the beach and roast hot dogs or S'mores while watching the sunset! When you're not enjoying the beach or the two pools that are on the property, relax in the Crabby Paddy w/ fresh paint, clean, simple, stylish decor to make you feel quite cozy and comfy. If you do not head out and enjoy the freshest seafood ever at one of the great local reastaurants, the kitchen is loaded for the cook! The bathrooms have fluffy towels + other amenities so you can leave some things at home, but don't forget your bathing suits, your fishing poles or fave beach toys! Happy Beachin'!

Visiting the Cape

We were just on the Cape for a few days of fishing. The accommodations could not have been cleaner nor could the host have been more helpful. I’ve stayed a the Barrier Dunes many times and this property rates at the top.

Great place

This property was the best experience I've had to date with vrbo. The owner made every possible effort to supply everything we might need, and then some. The only thing that could be improved was the cleanliness of the glassware. And that could be improved by having the housekeeping team check that guests clean up after themselves better.

My new home away from home

The BEST unit in Barrier Dunes. Clean, fresh, and well appointed you could swear you're staying in your own house. There is nothing to lack for when you show up. The owner's directions and communications are spot on and very detailed leaving nothing to question. Bottom line if you want a great place to stay this unit is for you. I really appreciate the effort that Eve has put into this property to make it the best!

Great!

Exceptionally clean. We really enjoyed the coffee bar. Short walk to beach. Very quiet community… we took walks every night w kids. Eve was very accommodating and I always make sure to rent from an actual owner vs a big company because communication is so much easier. Will def look here first to rent if we come back to this area and hope it’s available! Thanks again

Nice and clean

The property was accurately described. It was very clean. We enjoyed the pickleball courts which were in close proximity to the townhouse. A short walk to the beach. Eve was hospitable and more than willing to assist in any manner. Checked in with us via email to make sure all was okay. Thankfully, nothing went wrong during our stay.

Clean, comfortable and cozy

This unit offered all the comforts of home, so many small touches that made a big difference — large hooks around the house for hanging towels, a well-equipped kitchen with lots of utensils for cooking, and beach chairs, umbrella and a wagon made the 5 minute walk to the beach fast (there are stairs to get over the dunes, but overall the wagon saved us from multiple hauls to the beach!) The host was super responsive when we had a question, and the home was impeccably clean and comfortable. It is located in a great condo community that was quiet yet active. The pool and pickleball courts are very close, which were kept immaculate too. The beach access was easy to find/get to, and the beach is very family friendly (making it more densely populated). We felt right at home and would definitely come back to stay here when visiting the Cape again!

Comfortable and Organized: Value!

Our stay at Crabby Paddy was lovely. The community is pleasant and the gulf water is pristine. Although we kept the thermostats around 76, the upstairs living quarters had a hard time keeping cool . However, considering the extreme heat advisories in the area, we assumed all air conditioning systems were taxed . The assortment of iced teas were much needed and appreciated. Also, the coffee bar is super cute however I think the cleaning staff might need to change the options as most had recently expired. Overall, the unit is pristine, nicely decorated, and the beds sleep beautifully. Hopefully next time we can have access to the upstairs bathtub, however the hot water in the bathtub downstairs did the trick healing from an unfortunate sting by an ocean critter. We loved Eve’s thoughtful snacks , notes, and commitment to cleanliness and organizational design. She clearly has high standards and we respected her commitment to our comfort and will be back soon. If you choose to stay here, treat the home as if it is your own, as she clearly loves this property.
