Easy check in and the house is so cute. It’s big enough for a family. The kitchen is stocked with anything you could possibly want. You also have amazing views and a short walk to the beach.

Absolutely wonderful! Ocean view on the porch with coffee every morning. Plenty of linens and kitchen utensils. Very comfortable beds and very spacious. Booking, check in, and check out was a breeze. Would recommend to anyone.

Couples trip

There were 3 couples and plenty of room Nice views for not being beach front. It was about half a block walk down to the beach access. But not bad walk Plenty of parking and chairs on front porch to watch and hear the ocean property was clean and everything worked in the house. Only complaint was the plastic mattress covers and hard mattress’s. But over all very good experience

Fall Break

We loved the house that we stayed in. There were minor things from wear and tear on a house so close to the beach. Inside of house was lovely and perfect for a family group our size. Reed Rentals came immediately and fixed our issue with our TVs. Loved the privacy and beauty of Fort Morgan but wish there was at least an affordable grocery store there. Had to drive far for even a DG. Overall wonderful vacation and beautiful home.

Hey Shauna, We are so happy you guys enjoyed A Happy Crab! The covered deck and view is my favorite. I understand your comment about a closer affordable grocery store. We are in a more secluded area of Gulf Shores but it is nice to be away from the hustle and bustle. We hope we can welcome you and your family again!
