Just a short stroll from the sand, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sleeps up to 10 guests and is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to relax, reconnect, and soak up island life. Best of all? Crab Claw is dog-friendly—so bring along your pup for a tail-wagging adventures by the sea.

Crab Claw offers pleasant views of the Gulf from the deck and living area. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails outdoors as the breeze rolls in off the water. Downstairs, a spacious covered area with swings, picnic tables, lounge chairs, and a charcoal grill provides plenty of room to relax, play, or dine outside after a day at the beach.

Inside, you’ll find a remodeled open-concept living and dining area with coastal-inspired décor, high ceilings, and lots of natural light. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, new appliances, a breakfast bar, and a convenient opening to the living space—keeping everyone connected. The large dining table seats 10, making it easy to enjoy family meals and game nights.

Each of the three bedrooms has its own private bathroom for added comfort and convenience. On the main level, Bedroom 1 includes two queen beds, a TV, a private bath with a whirlpool tub/shower combo, and direct access to the deck. Upstairs, Bedroom 2 features a king bed, TV with cable, and a full bath with a tub/shower combo.

Other amenities include parking for up to four vehicles, an outdoor shower, and ramp and stair access to the main level (please note: the home does not meet ADA guidelines). The fireplace is decorative only and non-functioning.
