Yearly beach trip.

We had a great stay. We stayed with younger children so the sand on the bay side was great for them rather than walking to the beach. It is a little bit of a walk with kids but with wagons it wasn’t bad at all. Everything with the house was perfect and we had a great time.

Wonderful Vacation!!!!

We had such a good time at this vacation home! We have never been down to Florida and had so much fun! Kids really enjoyed the pool and we enjoyed the hot tub! The set up of this vacation home was perfect for our family of 5. We didn't need the lower level but was still great! Very quiet neighborhood...perfect walking distance to the beach! Overall a great place to stay!

Blue Crab Perdido Key FL Review

What a nice place. Plenty of room to stretch out and all the amenities we could have asked for. Great location on the water with fishing dock and sand on the back bay and a short walk to the beach. Will definately return! It did not hurt that the weather was outstanding as well.

Wonderful time at Blue Crab

Thank you so much for the beautiful stay at Blue Crab. We had a wonderful time! The hot tub was great to jump into after a day of exploring ( just an fyi only half the jets work in the tub). If there was any complaints it would only be that I wish the bbq had propane supplied as filling a tank in order to bbq for one night seems a little unfair

Magical vacation

Our large family had such a wonderful and incredible vacation at this property. Not only was it close to the beach, but when the beach was closed down, there were still tons of stuff to do such as kayak/canoe and fishing or playing in the pool/hot tub. The view in the evenings is so lovely and spectacular. We even called the property to see if we could stay a couple extra night. I highly recommend this property! We will absolutely be going back.!

Perfect house for our family vacation!

Everything was great. We had a fabulous family vacation. The house was exactly as stated in the description and very clean. The only thing I would suggest would be the bed in the lower level should be a king since there is room for it and it wasn’t very comfortable. Other than that, it was perfect!!

Great location, bring essentials

Absolutely great location and beautiful views. Right on the water with easy access to fishing. Several canoes available for use, volleyball court in side yard, tennis and basketball court across road all within walking distance. Heated pool and awesome hot tub. Lots of room for family of 5. Nice apartment downstairs with separate entry. Easy access to beach across road but it’s quite a walk. Beach is beautiful here and untouched being in state park there aren’t many people around. It is IMPORTANT to bring essentials with you if you are staying more than a day. When we arrived there was only one trash bag, one roll of paper towels and tissue per bathroom.

Gallant Family

Loved the property location. House was great. Only complaints: -Pool was not cleaned prior to our arrival and had a very nasty film on it when we arrived. Also the cooling unit for pool was turned off and water was extremely hot. Messaged management several days in a row w no response. Happened to catch the pool cleaner there on his weekly visit and took care of everything but he had not heard anything from management. - Trash from previous renter lingered around for about 4 days before it was picked up. Smell was very bad. Other than those two items we were very happy w property and will plan on renting there in the future.

The perfect getaway!

Each year we stay in this area for our family vacation. This year we brought our entire family and a few additional teens. The private pool is everything we didn't know we were missing. The bay is very peaceful and this property offers spectacular views. The neighboring properties are very nice and the owners next door were great as well. The walk to the beach was a little further than I expected but it wasn't bad at all with a wagon in tow. The house itself easily housed our group of 8. There were tons of additional items offered in the house that made our stay better from the kayaks, tennis rackets, beach items, etc.. An added bonus was the option to bring our Frenchie. It allowed us to fully enjoy our stay without having to board her. We will 100% book this property for our future vacations!

Beautiful location, entirely disappointing service

To preface, I'll say that in general, I book through Vrbo because we want a unique, high quality experience with more flexibility, space, etc. than what a hotel would offer. We've stayed in several in the past year, and have had many wonderful experiences (and a lot to compare to). So, first the good: - It's got a beautiful backyard view with a hot tub, pool, several decks, etc. - It's a short walk across the street to Perdido Beach. - The house has plenty of space for several people to stay. - Pet friendly. Then, the frustrating stuff: - Many of the dishes were dirty, and had been put away either dirty, or ran once through the dishwasher without being checked. - The couch in the living room had several stains on it. - The foldout bed in that same couch had an old, yellowed mattress that looked long past its service life - The lock on the downstairs suite was very loose/worn - We found clumps of hair floating in the hot tub. They contacted us on the second day to see if we needed anything. I didn't bring up the bad stuff, but just requested a few additional toilet paper rolls, and a few extra towels. (They didn't include a single extra roll of toilet paper in the house.) At that point, they basically said "Sorry, those are your responsibility." If they had simply said "Sure, no problem" in that moment, we were prepared to overlook the rest of the issues. But for the several thousand dollars we paid, the pushback on a simple request for supplies was too much. Not good.
