Great place to spend a weekend or more!
We enjoyed our stay at Rolf’s Crabby Daddy. The cabin had all the necessary accessories for a family who plans to cook at the location. The neighborhood was peaceful, however the cabin next to us was vacant most of the week so take that evaluation with a grain of salt. The walk was further than ten minutes to the beach. I walk a lot, and it still took me fifteen minutes minimum to reach PUBLIC beach access. There are private accesses everywhere, but then you must be comfortable knocking on someone’s front door and possibly getting permission to walk through their property. Choose your own adventure. One of our family members has a physical disability, so mobility concerns are more acute on our outings. If this is not your situation, then the beach access distance may not be as big of an issue for you. An island of simplicity in an ocean of gaudiness. Bring a few beach cruisers and this place is solid.
The location was great but could use some updates on the appliances and cleaning around the vents.
It is in a great location with private access to the lagoon. We have small children and it was a very windy week with strong rip tides so the lagoon was a better choice for swimming.
The house is located on the bayside and there is a path back to the bay. Perfect place for kids! Calm water and a small beach. Short walk across the street to the beach. Your access is through Rolf’s Retreat on the beachside. It’s the blue house across the street.
Fun place to stay. Wish the construction next door wasn’t going to happen
We had a magnificent experience renting this beach house! It was beyond clean and the service was amazing! Access to the beach was right across the street and the bay access was directly behind the house so we had private access to both sides! For those Rainey days they had a nice TV and an relaxing place to lounge! With the main strip just minutes down the road there was always things to do and places to eat. I HIGHLY recommend staying here if you want a great experience with you stay at the beach!
Awesome little house to vacation in! Very short walk to both the beach and bay right behind the house. Interior is retro and full of character. Kitchen is fully stocked with any cooking utensils, pots and pans you'll need to cook with. Location is somewhat secluded which we absolutely loved being away from the busy areas. The deck is perfect for sunset dinners. If you're thinking about staying here I would highly recommend you do! Such a cool little house and we definitely plan to visit again!
It was an excellent experience. It sleeps 8 but is a little small for 8 people. Knew that going in though so no saying anything bad about it. Had an awesome view of the lagoon and easy access to the beach. Had everything we needed kitchen wise while we were there. Loved how it was out past the main strip a bit and wasn’t as crowded. Would definitely recommend to a small group/family. Would defiantly stay there again with just my family.

We absolutely loved this location! Very convenient to the attractions and stores we needed. Home was fully stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom! Was clean and cute! Very short walk to either the lagoon or the , my husband and my 4 teen kiddos fit comfortably here. We would love to come back!!
We loved the location since it was farther out and away from most of the crowds and business, yet close enough that we could do whatever we wanted. Size of the home was perfect for us (two adults) but if you had 3 or 4 small children this would work out as well.

This was a nice quiet getaway to begin the new year. It was quiet and peaceful and the most difficult decision was where to eat!
Great stay! While the house is small as far as living quarters it was comfortable for me my wife and two teenage children. The deck is massive with lots of seating and a virtually unobstructed view of the sunrise that I enjoyed with my coffee every morning.100 yds in one direction your at the beach 100 yds in the other the lagoon with a picnic table where we enjoyed kayaking.I have stayed in many rentals that advertised a fully equipped kitchen they all fail in comparison to the crabby daddy hands down. The property managers were very easy to deal with absolutely no issues there everything was as promised. While it was my first visit to the crabby daddy it’s a safe bet that it won’t be my last. If I had to complain about anything I didn’t find the master bedroom mattress very comfortable but the wife loved it so essentially that’s still a win right?
