This house is amazing. Exceeded my expectations. The pool is so nice we didn’t want to go to the beach! The location is quiet. We Will definitely return next year.
Close to the beach and adding the golf cart was great. It made trips to the beach so much easier! The pool at the house was also great, the only thing was that no one ever came to clean the pool during our stay. Other than that, the house was amazing and we definitely enjoyed our stay!
Property was great! Enjoyed our family! Only negative was golf cart cost extra and you can’t drive it to the beach as you can’t cross the highway 98. It was fun to ride but wanted to keep sand out of my vehicle.
Very clean, loved having pool very family friendly

Great stay!
The crabby hunter was the perfect vacation getaway for our family. We did a multigenerational trip, my parents, my sisters family and my family. We had more than enough space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked, and the home was very comfortable. We loved having the pool in the back yard, which is where we spent most of our time. The golf cart was also a fabulous touch, so we could get back and forth to the beach with ease! We loved the Mexico Beach area, a nice slow beach town is just what we wanted in our vacation!

Outstanding!
Everything about the Crabby Hunter was perfect! It was clean and very well stocked with anything you'd need. To say I was overly excited about a box fan being in every closet would be an understatement! They are a must in our household. We use them simply for the noise at night. I plugged them up and we felt right at home. The beds were comfy (even the bunks) and the rooms were spacious. The pool was immaculate and where we spent most of our time if we weren't at the beach. The house is even better in person than in the pictures. I'd definitely recommend and plan to stay again!
“The Crabby Hunter” exceeded our expectations in every possible way! It was absolutely stunning and perfectly clean. The photos listed are absolutely gorgeous but those don’t even do this property justice!
We traveled with 3 little kids, and they had an absolute blast in the gorgeous pool and watching movies in the bunk beds.
We rented the golf cart (highly recommend) and had a blast driving it around Mexico Beach and down to the beach. Of note, walking to the beach with gear would NOT be fun, so I highly suggest renting the golf cart.
Overall, this is a perfect home for your trip to Mexico Beach. Despite the fact that it doesn’t have a view of the beach, the pool and gorgeous accommodations make up for it!
We had the best week with our family! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home with us!
Absolutely loved our stay!! The house was clean and still smelled new. Plenty of space for our family of 6, good variety of cookware, very nice pool, and one of our favorite parts was the lift that takes all your luggage up and down so you don’t have to carry all your stuff up and down the stairs . Definitely recommend renting the golf cart. You can’t drive it across 98 but there are several parking areas and then you just walk across the street easy peasy! We would 100% stay here again. Nice quiet beach, low traffic, close enough to port st Joe and Panama City beach to enjoy things there as well. Plenty of linens and some beach towels! The bathroom at the bottom outside part of the house was nice to have when you’re out in the pool so you don’t have to go inside dripping wet. The outdoor shower has warm & cold water which was nice! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
The Crabby Hunter was everything we were looking for in a spot for a long weekend getaway! The house was spotless and very well equipped. The pool was amazing, and the golf cart was fun. You can’t take the cart on or across 98, but there are places to park on side streets. It was just as easy to drive our car…lots of places to park at beach access points. It was our first trip to Mexico Beach, and we would definitely book this property again!
Everything about the Crabby Humter was 5 star. The house was exactly as described. Very clean and spacious. The pool w as a hit too. Propwrty manager communication was A

Beach days
We enjoyed our stay at Crabby Hunter. The house is very clean. It is well stocked with lots of extras that made our stay enjoyable. The pool was great! The large shallow end works great for small children and also nice to lounge in to beat the heat. We had small children and were unable to use the golf cart due to lack of seat belts but we were quickly refunded upon request. We would definitely return for a second stay.
