The perfect getaway

We had an absolutely phenomenal time. We pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves. We saw nurse sharks, pods of dolphins hunting on the beach and lots and lots of crabs. The house was clean and spacious and equipped with pretty much anything you need. Our host was very responsive and accommodating. We ate at the Tiki Hut, Angelo’s and Trident and they were all good with Trident being our favorite. We are already planning to come back later this year. Thanks for letting us stay and being able to make lifetime memories.

Awesome Forgotten Coast getaway to unwind

Sharon was an excellent and responsive communicator before, during and after our stay. We had one minor equipment malfunction and she had it replaced in a day. If you're looking for "hustle & bustle", traffic or loud nightlife, the Quirky Crab isn't for you. I think we counted 6 people walking on "our" beach the first day and a traffic jam of 10 people on the second. We took one day trip to stoll Apalachicola and explore the beaches of St. George Island and it was so packed, I couldn't wait to get back to the QC! Sitting on the deck, we sipped coffee in the morning watching Eagles, Cormorants, Pelicans and Dolphins offshore. At sunrise and sunset, we walked the 100(ish) feet to the beach and kicked off our sandals to stroll the beach. If we passed 6 people in an hour, that was a crowd! We recommend walking the beach at low tide when you can also explore 300 - 400 feet out into the Gulf... especially awesome if you can time it with a sunrise 🌅. Thanks again, Sharon, we hope to come back again!

Quirky, fenced acre, Gulf front, ultimate relaxation

My 2 dogs and I wanted a super chill Christmas this year, our second without John, and this little gem was exactly what we hoped for. Quirky fun furnishings, loved how safe pups were with giant fenced yard. Winter is off season for our Forgotten Coast so we basically had the beach to ourselves, the boys loved to run and frolic in the sand. Sharon was super responsive, home was clean and bright, kitchen extremely well stocked, and the Roku TV option was a hoot. Spent most of our time on spacious deck on the Gulf, dolphins visited daily, Christmas Day was high winds and rainy so we watched the 'angry' Gulf from safety of awesome screened porch! If you want chill, relaxing , well priced, good value visit to our Forgotten Coast this is the place, we can't wait to enjoy more time at QC, thanks Sharon!

A week of paradise

The Quirky Crab was everything we hoped. The house was precious and well-stocked, with fantastic beach views. The large fenced yard was perfect for our dogs! We had breakfast on the screened porch after our morning beach walks. At night, we sat on the deck and gazed at the stars. There was a new moon our first couple of days, and the Milky Way was visible, and we even saw several shooting stars. The beach was secluded and lovely. Large shells were plentiful. Sharon was the best. She promptly responded to every text I sent and was extremely accommodating. I hope to return in the spring and stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Brewer

I am a native Floridian that grew up on this beach, throwing cast nets, seining for shrimp, swimming, shelling and tanning! I love the REAL Florida that has been untouched by concrete condominiums and neon lights pointing the way to tourist traps!

Why they chose this property

Where do you find 1 acre on the beach? One acre on the FAMOUS beaches of Alligator Point. We are not only known for our sugar white sand beaches, but also known for Blue Crab, Redfish, Tarpon, Trout, King and Spanish Mackerel and Famous Florida Pink Shrimp!

What makes this property unique

Come see for yourself! Privacy! Minimal tourist traffic! This area is known for Porpoises and Birds. Due to the unique cove-like area between 2 sandy points on Alligator Point, the Gulf out front is full of baitfish and shrimp which attracts plenty of Pelicans, Gulls and other birds along with multiple daily visits by the porpoises! Some days, its like having a front row seat at the Porpoise show at Sea World!
