Description
NO DAMAGE AT ALL FROM HURRICANE! Blue Crab Cottage is newer construction and located in the heart of Gulf Shores! Private beach access is just steps away. Easily walk to dining, shopping, The Hangout, and more! Private outdoor shower and storage for all your beach necessities are underneath the cottage. Cottage offers privacy with no neighbor on either side. Free parking available for 2 cars. Community pool is right outside. Snowbirds are welcome!
The Space
The Blue Crab Cottage is perfect for those who want to avoid elevator lines and lugging sandy toys up to their condo. Wash everything off using the outdoor shower and store all your beach gear in a locked storage room underneath the cottage. No parking permit required. Just one flight of stairs and you're in your home away from home. Access is through keyless lock so no worries about keeping track of a key. You'll find menus, coupons, and suggestions pinned to the corkboard by the front door. Find a place that you love? Feel free to add to the corkboard!
Blue Crab Cottage is only a couple of years old. It is by itself within the community with no neighbors on either side. It's also the very first unit as you enter the neighborhood. If you want a sense of privacy, this is the place for you. Features granite countertops, wood plank flooring, shiplap walls, and tasteful beach decor.
Love to cook? So do we, but we usually find the items supplied by most condos to be lacking or completely unusable. Not here! New pots, pans, dishware, baking sheets and more were recently added to the already overly stocked kitchen.
Deeded beach access is a very short walk (less than 5 minutes) from the cottage. Crosswalk with a stoplight ensures you won't be playing Frogger going back and forth to the beach. Although it's a very short walk, a beach buggy cart is provided for your use. You'll also find enough sand toys to build the biggest and best sandcastle ever! A couple of beach chairs and umbrella are also provided for you. Need more supplies? Take a quick walk down the street to shop for whatever you need.
NOTICE: In late September 2020, we will converting one of the bedrooms into a Master suite with a King-sized bed. This will replace the 2 full beds. The maximum number of guests will be reduced to 8.
Pet Fees: If you bring your furry family member, there is a 1-time charge equivalent to the cleaning fee. For example, if you book a 30-day stay, that would equate to $6.16/per night.
We want to make sure you have the best vacation ever. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.

About David Spicer
From the moment we arrived in town on that very first trip, we knew that Gulf Shores was special. From the white, sandy beaches to the miles and miles of open water lagoons, Gulf Shores is a dream for any water enthusiast. It's the people, however, that make it really special. Most everyone waves and says hello in passing. They're always asking where you're from and how long you're staying. People come from all over the country which makes it a very special blend. When we were looking for investment properties, we knew a trip to Gulf Shores was in order. It didn't take long to find the "Blue Crab". Close to everything but private enough for pure relaxation. The community itself is extremely friendly and safe. We hope you enjoy the Blue Crab!

We stayed here for a month from Thanksgiving to Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check-in was seamless, the place was sparkling clean, and it felt like home in no time at all. The location is ideal with just a few minutes walk to the beach. It's easy access to great restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and anything else you would need. If you enjoy a walk or run, the streets around the home are perfect and the Gulf State Park trails are easily accessible. The home was warm and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you need for home-cooked meals. The beds were comfy and we were able to get some quality sleep after our long days exploring Gulf Shores. David was VERY responsive and an excellent host. We ran into him a few times during our stay and you can tell he cares about his properties and wants to provide a great experience for his guests. We got to know a few of the other owners and guests of neighboring homes and thoroughly enjoyed the community aspect of our stay. We'd definitely stay here again if we ever go back to Gulf Shores. Great home, great host - A+!

Perfect way to spend Thanksgiving!
This was the perfect way for our family to spend thanksgiving week The house had everything we needed to make a thanksgiving meal (pots, pans, cookie sheets etc:)) David is quick to respond and let us check in early after a 10 hour drive. The location of the house is close to restaurants, shops and state park. The beach is a quick walk across the street. Cannot wait to come back to the Blue Crab!

My wife and I had a great time staying at the Blue Crab on our way from relocating from NC to TX. David is a great host, with excellent communication. Blue Crab is everything as advertised and then some! Beautiful beaches, great layout, and a short easy walk to the beach. There is also a cart, chairs, and supplies in the storage shed to use, in order to make your beach experience even better. Anytime we get a chance to go to the Gulf Shores, I’ll definitely be trying to stay here again! Book confidently with David and the Blue Crab! 5 stars all the way!

David was a tremendous host! Due to some hurricanes this summer, we had to adjust our stay to mid-October. David was very helpful in shifting our trip and kept me updated on it during the meantime. The actual house is wonderful and new. We liked that it was just a street across from the beach, and yet was very quiet at night. The shower and storage room beneath the house was a big help as well! All told, I would absolutely stay at the Blue Crab the next time I'm in Gulf Shores!

Our stay at Blue Crab Cottage was great! The home was clean and comfortable and had so many great extras, including beach chairs/umbrella. The beach was just a short and convenient walk away. Also had great communication with the host, with quick replies to questions and status updates on the house after the hurricane. Would definitely stay here again!
