About this property

Sandbridge Family Cottage - Beach, Pool, AND Bay!

Crabs, Inc. is a comfortable cottage on a desirable corner lot with 5 bedrooms (3 queens, 1 twins, and a first floor “suite” with king bed and a loveseat). Two full baths, a half bath, and an outdoor shower. Each bedroom has its own TV if you want to retreat to your room for some down time.

Have the best of all worlds with our exceptional location. Enjoy our private dock on the canal, private salt water pool, and being just steps away from the beach (a 3 minute walk to a paved beach access). Spacious front and back decks, including a screened in porch, give you many outdoor options. Ping pong table is available in the garage and the house is stocked with a wide variety of games for both kids and adults. Rainy day keeping you from the beach? Enjoy working on one of our puzzles together at the dining room table!

The cottage can accommodate 10 guests.

Your rental includes bed linens, bath towels, and pool towels - at no additional charge! We also get you started with basics like a roll of paper towels, toilet paper, and dish soap.

We understand all the gear that goes along with bringing a baby or toddler to the beach! Thankfully, the cottage has a pack 'n play (you bring your own sheet), chair-top booster seat, and a baby gate for the stairs so you don't have to pack your own! We also have baby gates permanently installed at the top of both sets of deck stairs (front and back) and have the bottom sliding door that leads to the pool equipped with a safety alarm to help you make sure your child can’t get to the pool unattended.

Additionally, the cottage comes with 6 beach chairs available for you to use. We are happy to suggest rental companies for additional equipment you may like to have such as umbrellas, kayaks, SUPS, beach toy wagons, etc.

**Pool is open early May-early October. Please inquire about if the pool will be open during your stay if you are unsure.

This house is well-loved and maintained by the owners--not handled by a rental management company! We are proud of our strong communication and great care of our home and hope to host families that will also treat our home with respect. ***This is not a home that should be rented to host parties or events***

Please read our glowing reviews for first hand accounts of wonderful experiences working with us and staying at our family cottage.

Updates in 2022 include - brand new patio area around the pool, new/larger screened in porch, and a new roof! Other recent updates include brand new appliances (2021), kitchen lighting (2021), brand new windows (2021), new floors throughout (2020), living room decor upgrades including new TV (20&21), bedroom decor updates, new pool and deck furniture, exterior painting, and more!

Family vacation

We all enjoyed a family reunion at this nice property. It was super clean, the location two blocks from the beach was perfect and the spacious salt water pool was a great hit. The property owners couldn’t have been nicer.

Family beach week

Great house with huge pool overlooking Back Bay. The house was spacious with plenty of outdoor space for play. The shade around the pool was great in the afternoons when the temperatures were sheltering. Pleasant walk to the beach. A rental beach cart was invaluable for lugging all the “stuff”. Kitchen was well stocked, but new skillets would be a plus. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks so much for a fabulous week.

Crabs Inc Delivers

Just two short blocks to flat expansive beach. Coming back to outdoor shower and beautiful in grown pool looking out to canal for an added bonus. Kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING you could need. Each bedroom and living area decorated with nice decor. Texted owner a couple of times for minor questions. Always prompt response. If we ever want another Sandbridge vacation, we will be looking to rent Crabs Inc!

Great place!

The place itself was great! Close to the beach (around 4 minutes walk), quiet and it has all amenities as listed. The only problem was the weather :P. We were not expecting a cold weather at the end of May. Property manager is extremely responsive and polite. We would definitely come back if we have the chance.

2021 Sistafriend's Birthday Weekend

We had the most fabulous weekend! Your house was clean, bright, and decorated soooo cute! The decor set the vibe for a chill and relaxing beach weekend. The little personalized touches, interior colors, and decor were on point! The distance to the beach was a 2 minute stroll and offered a great opportunity to stretch our legs.

Family get away during Covid

Gathered up all my kids and grandkids and met them at a great east coast beach get away. Great clean place that offers dock side fishing, walk to an awesome beach and refreshing salt water pool. Best thing was controlling your environment amidst All the Covid restrictions. Sandbridge is a neat place. I live in San Diego so tough to find places that are more relaxing. This placed checked that box. Get out and try it, even amongst Covid times. Owen

A wonderful week at the beach!!!

We had such a wonderful time at this house. The location was easy in terms of walking to the beach. The pool was clean and the house was lovely. It was so relaxing to wake up every morning and see the heron on the dock and fun to end each evening with a canoe ride down the bay. All communication with the owners was prompt and helpful. We immediately said we want to come back next summer. It was a fantastic week at this house!

Great!

We truly enjoyed staying at Carter's cottage! The location is great, allowing for a short walk to the beach, that even kids can do without any big effort or complaining. The location is away from the busy street which allows neighborhood streets for safe biking and walks. The house itself was nicely decorated, well supplied, while not overcrowded by unnecessary items. The pool was clean and allowed ample seating and lounging space. We found the accommodations to be very comfortable, and the host very responsive, attentive, and pleasant to communicate with. I would recommend Crabs Inc to anyone looking for a vacation in the Sandbridge area! We hope to be back again.

Crabs Inc. is Fantastic!

Just returned from a wonderful stay at a beautiful home. The house was super clean and beautifully decorated. The entrance to the beach is a quick walk down the street. Even on the weekends the beach was not overcrowded. Although the beach is so close and we went often, we also really enjoyed the large swimming pool with a beautiful view of the bay. Carter and the Crabs Inc. team we’re always there to answer questions quickly. Not only do we highly recommend this property but are looking forward to our next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Carter Warren

After over 40 years of vacationing in Sandbridge, our family made a dream come true and purchased our own cottage. We are excited to share the magic of Sandbridge with other families so that they can make memories that last a lifetime just like our family has! We hope to have groups join us that will relax, unwind, and treat our home with the love and respect they would treat their own.

Why they chose this property

Crabs, Inc. has such a unique and special location in Sandbridge. It is located just steps to a nearby beach access, but is right on the bay canal. Enjoy swimming in the pool during the summer months as well as fishing off our private dock. Our corner lot has wonderful outdoor space for kids to run around or families to play a game outside. A great front deck as well as a back deck/screened porch provide awesome spaces for lounging as well!
