We had the best time at the crabby seahorse. It was local to everything and not too far of a distance to the beach. We were able to get a great spot on the beach for the day. The house was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the patio area and outdoor shower. It was very nice to have the dishwasher and washing machine/drier available for use. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Crabby Seahorse which had a warm cottage feel to it and looked exactly as pictured online. The property was clean and had ample towels, linens, blankets, etc. The AC worked well, as did the washer/dryer. And having an outdoor water station to wash sand off after the beach was great. The house was bright and well-lit with cute lighting in the back yard, beach books, games, etc. The location was great--close to the beach and close to two plazas with restaurants and ice cream. And it was quiet as well. Would definitely stay here again.
