CapeSanBlas Bright, End Unit •Short walk to neighborhood private beach •2 Pools

Welcome to The Crabby Paddy—a bright, cheerful, and inviting end-unit townhome with just a short walk to the beautiful beaches of Cape San Blas. This cozy coastal retreat offers fresh décor, plenty of natural light, and all the comforts of home to make your stay easy, relaxing, and memorable.

Start your mornings with a peaceful stroll to the shoreline to hear the waves roll in and feel the soft sand beneath your feet. Spend the day soaking up the sun, searching for shells, swimming, or simply unwinding on the quiet beaches of the Forgotten Coast. In the evenings, head back out to catch one of our unforgettable Gulf sunsets—you can even build a small beach fire and roast hot dogs or s’mores while you watch the sky glow.

When you’re ready to relax, The Crabby Paddy welcomes you with fresh paint, clean and simple coastal décor, and a warm, homey feel. The kitchen is fully stocked for guests who enjoy cooking, but you’re also just a short drive from some of the area’s best fresh-seafood restaurants.

Both bathrooms are equipped with fluffy towels and thoughtful amenities, so you can pack a little lighter. And don’t forget your bathing suits, fishing gear, or favorite beach toys—the fun here is endless.

Whether you’re lounging by one of the two community pools, exploring the Cape, or unwinding after a day in the sun, The Crabby Paddy offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and coastal simplicity.

Happy beachin’—we can’t wait to host you!

We really enjoyed our stay here! It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable and it’s in a great location! The quiet gated community close to the State Park was exactly what we were looking for. We’ll definitely consider staying here again when we visit the Cape!

LOVED Crabby Paddy!!! Excellent host & beautiful condo! Owner was very responsive and our condo was beautifully decorated, clean, and the most well-stocked we've ever stayed in! Would definitely stay again or recommend! We have back problems and the master king bed was extremely comfortable yet supportive (high end).Barrier Dunes is a favorite destination for us and very nice beach for families.

This was without a doubt our best and favorite VRBO experience! Eve went truly above and beyond to make our stay so wonderful! Her home was clean, cozy and perfectly stocked with everything you could think of. It truly felt like a home away from home! And steps from the beach, which made it all the more perfect. We are so thankful to have found this amazing gem in Cape San Blas!

We visited Cape San Blas with our two you boys (4 & 7). We had the best time exploring the Cape. The crabby paddy was the perfect place to stay. It's way out on the Cape. The crabby paddy was clean and had perfect beach decor. Two bedrooms both with convenient bathrooms, the master is on its own floor. Host communicated clearly and we had no issues coming and going from the gated community all day. Would definitely come back!

Perfect place for a relaxed and affordable beach vacation. Lots of available beach items to facilitate that, and lots of extra small things in the house to make you feel welcome. 2 pools on site are nice, 5 min walk to the beach, 10 min walk to the star park. Host was fantastic to communicate with.

I’ve been coming to Cape San Blas for 30 years, and this is my 8th year staying at Barrier Dunes. This unit was the best one so far! Everything in the unit was exactly as described. The host has gone above and beyond to make vacation easier on the guests. The unit is super clean and well-kept. The host is clear and prompt in communication. We will definitely stay here again!

I really can’t stay enough good things about our stay at the Crabby Paddy. From the very beginning, Eve was extremely communicative, made sure to check in to make sure we were OK once we got settled. She let me know the day before our trip that the washing machine had gone out, but a replacement was already ordered, and on its way! Even the washing machine replacement was seamless. The condo is every bit as beautiful as depicted in the photos. Very well appointed, beds were comfortable, the walk to the beach was easy. I’ve used VRBO several times, but this was absolutely my best experience. Can’t wait to go back!
