We absolutley loved staying at Dilly Crab, the private beach and pool was amazing! Michele was so great to work with and communication was prompt and super helpful! The beds were comfortable and bathrooms extremely nice! she really had everything we needed at the house and then some! I highly recommend Dilly crab for your next vacation! A few things to note: the downstairs bunkbed room has an oustide entrance to the main house upstairs. There are two houses on the property, but the smaller home was not rented out when we were there and both homes have their own pool and deck over looking the ocean. The home was very clean and has beautiful landscaping, we loved loved the private beach and kayaks! We would definitely go back!

I am so glad you and your family had a lovely time and enjoyed Dillycrab!!! One thing I would like to mention is that the two houses sit on pie shaped lots so they both enjoy the ocean. The little house (a one bedroom) beside your Big house is NEVER rented.
Wishing you the best in life!❤️🏝️🦀
The house was welcoming and well appointed. The pool area was enjoyed by three generations. Michele, the hostess, was prompt with responses and shared many ideas for beaches and restaurants. This was wonderful experience for all of us.
Our stay at the Dillycrab Beach House was absolutely amazing. The pool area and the beach surpassed all our expectations. The owner provided so much necessary information prior to our stay and then was 100% reachable at any moment when we were there. I don't think I've ever had a more helpful and warm host. The house was fully stocked with necessities. Thank you for everything and my family and I would LOVE to stay there again.
The dilly crab is the most adorable house in paradise! Michele is so so helpful I have never received so much info before a trip that helped me plan what to do and where to go for the upcoming trip. The house is lovely and the pool after a day at your own private beach is heaven! The beach right there is amazing! We rode the kayaks to the island we went snorkeling right off the beach and saw lion fish, sharks, lobster, turtle, schools of fish, a ray, it was amazing and all right out your door! We got food one night to bbq at home and it was also amazing! The house was in a great place easy to get to everything! Absolutely must do the exuma beach tour and the swimming pigs tour and the hydro bikes. All were really really cool! We will be coming back!
Awesome is the word of choice for our stay at the Dillycrab. The property is amazing with all the lush vegetation which gives the feeling of a tropical oasis around the pool area. The upstairs bedrooms and living room area overlook the ocean and beautiful monring sunrises over the water. Every attention to detail is given, from beach towels to water toys to kayaks and beyond. Michelle communicates especially well, answers all of my questions, and we had the benefit of meeting her. She cares deeply about the environment and the Exuma community. Moss town beach is amazingly beautiful and plenty of sandy area to stretch out on and enjoy.
Our family of four LOVED this home! Our first few days were very windy. The respite of our own personal pool was perfect. The treehouse overlooking the ocean is magical. We had the beach almost entirely to ourselves everyday. The home is stocked with everything you could need or want. The host - I’ve never had a host as invested in the success of my trip as I was. She was so readily accessible and always offering help and guidance. When we weren’t at the ocean or the pool we enjoyed pickleball, billiards, and ping pong. Loved our stay and miss Dillycrab already!

So happy you had a great time at Dillycrab and in Exuma! This makes me very happy to hear. ❤️🏝️🦀 .
Michele was over the top communicating and helping us with info of the area. The Dillycrab grows on you with each day, location is great. Great privacy and game room.
This was our first time to Exuma and we easily fell in love with the place! We couldn’t be happier with our accommodations! The location was perfect and we had everything we needed in one place! (Not to mention our nearly private beach!) Michele provided excellent suggestions during all phases of our trip and was prompt with responding to questions! We can’t wait until we can visit again!

Yes it is so great to have a 2 mile beach most of the time all to yourself! We bought DillyCrab knowing our girls would be safe walking this beach alone as well as roaming around Sweet Exuma! ..and of course the breath taking beauty!
Thanks for being so awesome! We love 5 Star Guests!! Please please visit us again! All the best to you and your lovely family!
Beautiful property. Very well maintained and clean! Owner was extremely well to communicate with. Breath taking views, on the beach, and no complaints. We will be back!
Wonderful house on a beautiful, secluded, stretch of beach with crystal clear water. The owner gave us lots of great tips for our stay - from places to explore to restaurants and more. The house was spotless and so comfortable. Each bedroom has a connecting bathroom (one is a jack and jill bathroom). There were lots of spaces for relaxing, our favorite was the deck with the lounge chairs under the coconut trees!

Our staff have worked with us for over 10 years, I could not do this without their commitment to making sure there are only good surprises!!!
Thank you for sharing ..ha ha ..and tell all your friends!❤️
Beautiful beaches and great recommendations from the host. We loved all the area had to offer and the house was amazing. We had our own paradise for a week and didn’t want to leave!

I think, considering you are two older gentlemen in your late 70’s who really just wanted a lovely spot to read, may not have enjoyed the games room with PING PONG and POOL TABLE or EXCERCISE EQUIPMENT very much and I understand you did not use the SWIMMING POOL at all or the 3 KAYAKS, body boards or 100’s of dvd’s since you unplugged wifi and Direct TV ..so maybe a much SIMPLER accommodation would have suited you both much better.
Also having the main living area on the second floor gave you stairs to climb but this house design gives the best vantage point for a FANTASTIC OCEAN VIEW.
We are geared for FAMILIES and or agile COUPLES who will utilize ALL we have to offer...
We had an amazing stay at Dillycrab. Michele and her team go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect; it's like having a built in concierge and travel planner! We can't wait to go back!

Vacations are precious and we (meaning myself PLUS my wonderful people helping me) want to make sure every one of those vacations are awesome! Thanks for being a 5 star guest and thanks for loving up our home❤️🏝🦀
The place was amazing. Beautiful beaches with no one around. House has all the amenities you would need, even a generator for the many power outages. The owner gives you all the info you need to have a excellent vacation. Can’t wait to go back.
We loved this property! Steps from the beach, with a deck and chairs to enjoy the sunset every morning! The pool has a wind break, we used it every day! The pool table and ping pong table were great additions to the property. We had nightly tournaments! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stay!!!
Everything was perfect. The house location to the airport and beach. Everything looked just like the pictures. The owner shared tons of great info. Will definitely be returning.

So happy you enjoyed your 10 day stay with us!!! This always puts a smile on my face. I always feel that I am the one receiving a gift when your vacation was exactly what you were looking for. Thank you for loving up our home away from home. Love to have you stay with us again…this gorgeous beach is waiting for you!!! Health, Love , Family, Community❤️🏝🦀
Best sand ever and gorgeous beach! Great location near airport but not bothered by jet noise. Easy to get around by car. Comfortable, well outfitted house with lots of "toys" in the rec room, pool floats, nice pool. Honestly, our friendly, helpful hosts thought of everything. We had a great stay and would definitely consider going back.
A definite must stay in Exuma. The property is very secluded, the beach is only occupied by you. The entire rental experience with the owner was absolutely the best I have ever experienced. Michele was so informative from the day we booked until the day we checked out. We will be back

Why they chose this property
From a blind date to a 30 year journey, Howard and I have survived many ups and downs. We are best friends and this has carried us through parenthood and life as entrepreneurs. Having a Beach House in Exuma has been a dream come true! It took many years of hard work and still more hard work to come. We wanted to have a place where all of our kids and grandkids would be happy to play and create wonderful memories.
What makes this property unique
Dillycrab magic happened! The first time we were renting like you. I woke up to the sunrise spreading its glory over the ocean without even lifting my head off the pillow. With coffee in hand, I lay in the hammock on the porch and watched the ocean in every shade of blue and turquoise while little birds in the palm trees were singing away, a dove cooing in the nearby tree, the gentle warm salt air caressing my skin..I was in Love. I was in Paradise! There are 65 palm trees that create an island oasis.( Love the sound of palm fronds rustling in the breeze.. and the oceans music from every room in the house.) Right in front of the property is a beautiful island you can paddle out to, sailboats in the distance. It is like a picture book. I have travelled to a lot of Caribbean islands but I have never experienced such turquoise water and such white soft sand. I also have never experience what it is like to have a 2 mile Beach to wander and lucky to see another soul.. never hassled and feeling safe as a woman to walk alone....This made me fall deeper in love.. I can not even tell you about how much fun and family bonding time we have experience sipping cool drinks floating in the pool..I never thought before Exuma that that would become one of my favourite things to do! There is sun as well as shade from palms on the pool deck for all day pleasure. Dillycrab is wonderful and lots of spaces to spread out. There are fun spots and quiet spots and spots to feel alone with a good book and spots to play together.. it is like your own mini resort, lots to do or nothing to do. As you can see we LOVE Dillycrab.
