The house was as described. The outside area was perfect for enjoying the warm sun. Many things to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to renting again.
Beautiful location. So nice to walk the beach, listen to the waves and watch the dolphins! Gulf Shores is relaxing and has everything you need. This was definitely a property I’d come back to.
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.
We couldn't have been happier with our choice in selecting this beach house. Perfect amount of space, location was great and right on the beach. Host was very quick to answer any questions. We definitely recommend this property on your next trip to Gulf Shores.
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.
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.
What a wonderful stay we had! I highly recommend this place for being right on the beach in Gulf Shores. This is not the newest place, but the location is EVERYTHING!! The owner was so responsive and answered every question and concern we had. We were two grandmas, who have been friends since high school and we enjoyed siting on the deck reading. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We will be back.
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 :)
Wasn't the fanciest place but perfect for our needs. Clean, comfortable and the owner was amazing when we were concerned about Hurricane Francine. Quick to respond to our questions and concerns.

Great location
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.
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!
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!
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!!
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.
