We've been coming to GS for years and for the first time, we will repeat properties 2 years in a row. Love the beach access and it was never busy in front of the house. Well stocked kitchen with pods and pot coffee maker. Chairs and toys available. We loved eating on the covered deck every day. Natasha is a wonderful host!

Amazing time. This is our second time staying at this location in the past 4 years (due to covid and unavailability). Cannot beat the price and location - right on the beach. House is clean, AC works, hot/cold water, and great view from the balcony. This is our go to place in Gulf Shores.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The house was as described and had plenty of space for our family of 5. The beach is just steps away with easy private access and was exactly what our family needed for fun and relaxation time. The owners were extremely responsive and easy to work with. We will certainly stay here again.

Was just as advertized. Right on the beach. Close access to stores, restaurants, anything and everything. Definitely worth the money!

Location was fantastic. It could use working vacuum cleaners and a better broom for the sand. It could also use a rug at the bottom of the steps with a broom and top of stairs to stop tracking sand inside and an updated not so noisy washer and dryer and deck paint to help with splinters but over all it was great!

The over all experience was fine. The property needs some updating and maintenance. Inside was decorated fine but could really use some work on the outside deck and the outdoor wash station. The mattress in the master bedroom needs updated. The view was spectacular and the neighborhood was exceptional. It will only take a little upkeep to make this an exceptional stay!!

This beach cottage is everything we needed and more. You just can't beat the views and beach access. It wasn't crowded and loved that our kids could come and go from beach as they pleased. The place itself was stocked well and when we did have a slight issue Natasha was quick to respond and go above and beyond to handle it for us insuring our stay was great. We'd book again :)

Luv’d the house. Great location. At our age, 70+ and one with a recent hip replacement that didn’t go well, it would have been nice to have an elevator! Ha Well stocked kitchen, even though we didn’t prepare any meals there…ate at local seafood restaurants! Luv’d the outside high top table with fire pit (again, didn’t use cause we brought a small solo smokeless one). The bbq grill would have been great too! We will know next time! Neighbors in White House, next to Vrbo were nice also. Would highly recommend to all friends. Might consider supplying small hotel type soap and shampoos for bathrooms. Furniture in living area was very comfortable. (I actually slept on the couch itself. Didn’t even pull it out!). It truly was the PERFECT PLACE for a great get away! We will be back!!!

We just got back from the Sand Crab, the location and proximity to the beach was perfect. There were 5 adults sharing this house, and we had no problem what so ever with the space. However, there were only 4 kitchen chairs and seating for 5 in the living room. The property manager was very helpful and prompt with any questions. I would stay at this location again.

Had a wonderful time! Loved being able to step out onto the beach. But, there is no hot tub as stated in listing. The coffee maker went out on us and after exchanging propane tank couldnt get fire to light on patio.

The location of the property is great. It's on the quiet end of the beach yet close to everything. However, some updates are needed. New linens, lightbulbs, and some paint would go a long way. We did have what we needed in the kitchen and there were plenty of towels which was great. All in all, it was a nice weekend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sand Crab East!! The location is FANTASTIC!! Beach right off the porch and still conveniently located near food, attractions, retail, etc. Did I mention BEACH RIGHT OFF THE PORCH?!!! The view from the living room and master bedroom are *chefs kiss!* Would definitely recommend this property to friends and family and hope that we will be lucky enough to visit again!!

The property was in a great location and our grand children loved the easy beach access. It’s a traditional beach house - not new or luxurious but very comfortable. The 3 bedroom, 3 bath configuration was great.

This was our family’s first trip to gulf shores and the property was wonderfully located right on the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and saw dolphins swimming everyday. Although most of our time was on the beach, we did feel that the house needed a deep cleaning, not just a cleaning, it is probably time to look at upgrading several items on the property. It did serve the purpose for the price. Thank you.

Well the location and view were breathtaking. Loved that we were steps from the beach. The property does need updating and maintenance which the property manager said when we spoke. The sprayer in the kitchen sink wasn’t working( which she stated to me). The blind leading out to the deck needs replaced. It was torn on both ends. One of the dining room chairs was broken. I have children and the upstairs bathroom over toilet shelf fell down on my adult niece. It hurt her wrist but could have been much worse if it had fallen on one of the children. Hopefully they fix these issues ASAP. The property manager stated I would receive some type of discount for all these issues but it has yet to happen.

Looking forward to staying here again. Hopefully, we will be able to. Short walk to the beach. Beach wasn’t crowded at all. Perfect place to stay for a few days of peace.

This house is nicely situated away from the large condos so the beach isn't terribly crowded. It is well decorated and has everything you need. The beach is just steps off the deck, and the views from the deck are wonderful. And for those that like all of the touristy stuff, you are only 2 miles from the heart of Gulf Shores. Would definitely stay here again.

Location was great, no shoes needed just walk down the steps of the back deck and into the sand. The city has volleyball nets up on the beach probably every 4th house. This part of the beach wasn’t crowded at all, it’s not private but no lifeguard tower but there’s one very close. Dolphins a lot and there were two sea turtle nest close by. It’s not a new house but very clean and priced right in my opinion. I would stay here again if we make a family of 10 trip again.

We visit gulf Shores several times a year. And we have always wanted to rent a beach house, but were not able to find one that we could afford. Well, we finally found one. You are going to want to stay at this place. Everything is set up well, and we appreciate that the owners have kept the price reasonable so that everyone can afford to stay in a beach house. Owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this place!

We were very pleased with our stay! The house was off the beach…just a short walk right behind! There TWO decks with great views!! Morning coffee and dinner were awesome on the deck!! It was the perfect getaway for a girls’ trip!! We had a blast!! Will definitely book again next summer for another girls’ trip and if we decide to bring our spouses and kids to Gulf Shores!! It’s the perfect stay!!

We had a great stay! We accidentally booked during the hangout festival, and were worried the beach would be super crowded however, this location felt like we had a private beach area even with the festival going on only about 2 miles away. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location. Cute duplex with nice deck, BUT. Had to immediately sweep floors - gritty with sand. All bedding needs replaced. Light bulbs out in both upstairs baths. Kitchen vegetable sprayer not working. No downstairs wash off area. Nice wine cooler but ancient refrigerator with broken drawer and shelf. (SLOW ice maker). Towels folded and put away but soaking wet! One used towel left on door in master bath. Broken blinds in living room. Living room furniture needs cleaned. Dust all over lamp. Bring your own wine glasses if more than 4 guests…

Great location right on the beach. Comfy beds, great water pressure. Close to all the attractions but away from the large condos which we did not care for so this was perfect for us. Could use a little deep cleaning (minor things like dust bunnies on lamp shades) but this wasn’t an issue for us at all. Thank you for having us!
