About this property

Bright End-Unit! Light • Airy • Close to Sand

Welcome to The Crabby Paddy—a bright, cheerful, and inviting end-unit townhome with just a short walk to the beautiful beaches of Cape San Blas. This cozy coastal retreat offers fresh décor, plenty of natural light, and all the comforts of home to make your stay easy, relaxing, and memorable.

Start your mornings with a peaceful stroll to the shoreline to hear the waves roll in and feel the soft sand beneath your feet. Spend the day soaking up the sun, searching for shells, swimming, or simply unwinding on the quiet beaches of the Forgotten Coast. In the evenings, head back out to catch one of our unforgettable Gulf sunsets—you can even build a small beach fire and roast hot dogs or s’mores while you watch the sky glow.

When you’re ready to relax, The Crabby Paddy welcomes you with fresh paint, clean and simple coastal décor, and a warm, homey feel. The kitchen is fully stocked for guests who enjoy cooking, but you’re also just a short drive from some of the area’s best fresh-seafood restaurants.

Both bathrooms are equipped with fluffy towels and thoughtful amenities, so you can pack a little lighter. And don’t forget your bathing suits, fishing gear, or favorite beach toys—the fun here is endless.

Whether you’re lounging by one of the two community pools, exploring the Cape, or unwinding after a day in the sun, The Crabby Paddy offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and coastal simplicity.

Happy beachin’—we can’t wait to host you!

The Crabby Paddy was beyond perfect! One of the best places we have stayed and Eve was the perfect host. She has all the little details covered. As big coffee fans, the coffee bar she has set up was our favorite! The master king size bed was very comfortable. The condo location was perfectly situated near one of the pools and just a short stroll to the beach access and the beach pool. The outdoor shower and garage closet were a plus to rinse off after a day at the beach. We have no complaints! Great stay!
Umbrellas and beach tote were an unexpected plus!

Amazing stay!

The property was everything we could have hoped for and more! Eve was easy to reach and responded immediately when we had a question. There were even board games for us to play when we had a rainy day and couldnt go to the beach. During our stay, there wasnt a single thing we found ourselves needing that wasnt already there! Overall, I have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend this beautiful condo for anyone looking to take a relaxing vacation! We will definitely be back!

We were just on the Cape for a few days of fishing. The accommodations could not have been cleaner nor could the host have been more helpful. I’ve stayed a the Barrier Dunes many times and this property rates at the top.

Great place

This property was the best experience I've had to date with vrbo. The owner made every possible effort to supply everything we might need, and then some. The only thing that could be improved was the cleanliness of the glassware. And that could be improved by having the housekeeping team check that guests clean up after themselves better.

Great!

Exceptionally clean. We really enjoyed the coffee bar. Short walk to beach. Very quiet community… we took walks every night w kids. Eve was very accommodating and I always make sure to rent from an actual owner vs a big company because communication is so much easier. Will def look here first to rent if we come back to this area and hope it’s available! Thanks again

Nice and clean

The property was accurately described. It was very clean. We enjoyed the pickleball courts which were in close proximity to the townhouse. A short walk to the beach. Eve was hospitable and more than willing to assist in any manner. Checked in with us via email to make sure all was okay. Thankfully, nothing went wrong during our stay.

My new home away from home

The BEST unit in Barrier Dunes. Clean, fresh, and well appointed you could swear you're staying in your own house. There is nothing to lack for when you show up. The owner's directions and communications are spot on and very detailed leaving nothing to question. Bottom line if you want a great place to stay this unit is for you. I really appreciate the effort that Eve has put into this property to make it the best!

About the host

Hosted by Eve

Host profile image
I am a beach girl at heart. I grew up in the Virginia Beach, VA area and spent a lot of time at the beach growing up. I have always wanted to be back at the beach and to have a property that was fun and comfy to visit with our family whenever possible. We have lived in Texas for the past 25 years, but also did a stint in the Midwest before moving to Texas. We found a great place on Cape San Blas to occasionally get our “beach fix”, but to also share it with you! This property is managed by us and not a property management company. We care about this property very much and want you to make yourselves at home! We are readily available should you have questions. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Happy Beachin',
Eve

Why they chose this property

This property has been freshly painted, updated furniture, and stylish decor was added! The beds are nice and comfortable. The kitchen stocked with hopefully anything you need to make a fabulous meal. We love this property because it is a very quick walk to the beach on the Gulf and is such a beautiful beach! The neighborhood, Barrier Dunes, is full of friendly people and low to no traffic for kids to ride their bikes or scooters. Cape San Blas is a small beach town without any of the large hotels and crazy nightlife. We want you to come have fun but also relax at the beach, the pool, or on the deck! Enjoy!
