Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This vibrant vacation rental practically shouts "beach house" in rainbow color! Live the laidback Gulf Coast lifestyle just 350 yards from the sand and surf.

Spread out among the vast private outdoor space with a wraparound deck and an oversized covered patio in a grassy fenced yard. Sunbathe in a lounge chair on the top deck or admire the pristine salt waters from one of the colorful captain's chairs. The ground level features a pink porch swing, a lounge area, and bartop seating with a convenient outdoor sink. Fix yourself a frozen cocktail to sip while you watch the palm trees on the property sway in the breeze.

Head upstairs to the stilt home's interior living space, and you'll find it to be just as bright and welcoming as the exterior.

THINGS TO KNOW
There is a queen-size sofa bed in the living area.

Such a beautiful beach house

We had a perfect stay! The house is so clean and neatly decorated. We had everything we needed for a three day trip. It's a perfect location and good to know we can bring the pup next time because of the gated property. We will be back!!!

Crabby Patty Review

I loved the fenced in yard, I have 2 beagles and they loved running around. There were lots of places to sit outside upstairs and down to be able to sit and enjoy the weather. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. I would definitely stay here again

Homey little beach house

This was such a cute beach house that had all the amenities. We were able to sit in the big chairs outside and watch fireworks from the beach, walk every day down to the beach, hang out in the cool underneath and grill and have cozy nights in. This has it all and very impressed.

Crabby Patty Is a Happy Place!

We love Crabby Patty! The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and everything was as described in the listing. Vacasa communicated with us often throughout the rental process until the end of our stay. We highly recommend Crabby Patty. She made us Happy!

Birding High Island and Bolivar Peninsula

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay ay Crabby Patty. It had everything we needed and provided a truly relaxing and peaceful experience. It is in a good location for birding both High Island and Bolivar Flats. It is also only a very short drive to the Stingaree Restaurant which is our favorite place to eat while in Crystal Beach. We are so pleased with the house and location that we plan to stay there the next time we visit to bird the area. DD- Shreveport, LA

Family trip for a wedding

Such a cute house and close to the beach. Wish the weather had been better. Unfortunately, it rained our entire stay and stuck inside most of the time. The patio is not covered so we could not sit outside. The bottom patio completely flooded so we could not sit downstairs. Other than that, the home was very comfortable and pleasant.

Wonderful weekend!

I loved the house, it was clean, adequately stocked kitchen, nice deck and under patio. Beds were comfortable, extra blankets were appreciated. I loved all the hooks on the walls to hang towels, clothes etc. a nice plus. Thank you for having the ice maker running and filled with ice! It all made for a relaxing weekend!

Bright Cute Beachy perfection! Decorated so nicely! Super clean and cozy!

During the breezy nights just wish it had a fire pit in the back yard like the neighbors have. That would be the only thing I’d add. Other than that we loved our stay!
