Designed with togetherness at its heart, The Blue Crab’s wide open living space is the heart of this Beachside Village home.

Low-profile couches and side chairs keep it comfy during family movie nights or afternoon lounging.
Steps away, the chef’s kitchen is ready for whatever you throw at it – local takeout or gourmet at-home cooking – with marble counters, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, 6-burner gas stove, side-by-side refrigerator & freezer, and a huge island that’s begging for breakfast banter or a late-night wine and cheese session. There’s even a coffee bar and a wine fridge. The dining area’s got space for eight, so everyone can come together after a day of beach fun.
Decorated in serene shades of cream and Prussian blue, this home’s designer interior invites you to sit back and relax and its 4 beautiful bedrooms take that a step further. The main level primary suite boasts a king bed, private deck perfect for morning coffee, and an en suite bath with a deep soaking tub, standalone shower and dual sinks. Upstairs, the second king bedroom also has deck access and a private en suite with a large walk-in shower. The queen bedroom shares a full bath with the office (perfect for workcations) while the bunk room sleeps up to 6 in its built-in pyramid bunks and includes a desk area for catching up on school projects or spreading out electronics. You’ll also find a perfectly appointed laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, utility sink, and second side-by-side refrigerator.
With four covered decks plus a finished patio with an enclosed outdoor shower convenient for washing off the sand after a day of beach fun, there’s plenty of options for sitting and soaking in the fresh Gulf breeze.

Family Easter weekend
Great property! Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with all necessary items for cooking and baking. Location was also perfect. An easy walk to the beach with plenty of space under the home for playing and gathering. Enjoy the champagne we left for you in the wine fridge :). Thank you !
