About this property
CapeSanBlas Bright, End Unit •Short walk to neighborhood private beach •2 Pools
Welcome to The Crabby Paddy—a bright, cheerful, and inviting end-unit townhome with just a short walk to the beautiful beaches of Cape San Blas. This cozy coastal retreat offers fresh décor, plenty of natural light, and all the comforts of home to make your stay easy, relaxing, and memorable.
Start your mornings with a peaceful stroll to the shoreline to hear the waves roll in and feel the soft sand beneath your feet. Spend the day soaking up the sun, searching for shells, swimming, or simply unwinding on the quiet beaches of the Forgotten Coast. In the evenings, head back out to catch one of our unforgettable Gulf sunsets—you can even build a small beach fire and roast hot dogs or s’mores while you watch the sky glow.
When you’re ready to relax, The Crabby Paddy welcomes you with fresh paint, clean and simple coastal décor, and a warm, homey feel. The kitchen is fully stocked for guests who enjoy cooking, but you’re also just a short drive from some of the area’s best fresh-seafood restaurants.
Both bathrooms are equipped with fluffy towels and thoughtful amenities, so you can pack a little lighter. And don’t forget your bathing suits, fishing gear, or favorite beach toys—the fun here is endless.
Whether you’re lounging by one of the two community pools, exploring the Cape, or unwinding after a day in the sun, The Crabby Paddy offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and coastal simplicity.
Happy beachin’—we can’t wait to host you!

Such a wonderful condo! It was very clean and had all the amenities needed (and then some-the coffee bar was a nice touch!) Eve was very attentive and made the entire process so easy. We would definitely stay here again for our next trip to Cape San Blas!
We enjoyed our stay this weekend at Cape San Blas! This home was perfect for our needs. It was very clean and the host was easy to communicate with! We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!!
LOVED Crabby Paddy!!! Excellent host & beautiful condo! Owner was very responsive and our condo was beautifully decorated, clean, and the most well-stocked we've ever stayed in! Would definitely stay again or recommend! We have back problems and the master king bed was extremely comfortable yet supportive (high end).Barrier Dunes is a favorite destination for us and very nice beach for families.
We visited Cape San Blas with our two you boys (4 & 7). We had the best time exploring the Cape. The crabby paddy was the perfect place to stay. It's way out on the Cape. The crabby paddy was clean and had perfect beach decor. Two bedrooms both with convenient bathrooms, the master is on its own floor. Host communicated clearly and we had no issues coming and going from the gated community all day. Would definitely come back!
I’ve been coming to Cape San Blas for 30 years, and this is my 8th year staying at Barrier Dunes. This unit was the best one so far! Everything in the unit was exactly as described. The host has gone above and beyond to make vacation easier on the guests. The unit is super clean and well-kept. The host is clear and prompt in communication. We will definitely stay here again!
Everything was as described! The condo was very clean and had all the necessities. The host was reachable for questions and information. The walk to the beach was easy and quick. The host provided all the beach essentials to make your travel lighter. We will be back to this location! We loved the Crabby Paddy!
I really can’t stay enough good things about our stay at the Crabby Paddy. From the very beginning, Eve was extremely communicative, made sure to check in to make sure we were OK once we got settled. She let me know the day before our trip that the washing machine had gone out, but a replacement was already ordered, and on its way! Even the washing machine replacement was seamless. The condo is every bit as beautiful as depicted in the photos. Very well appointed, beds were comfortable, the walk to the beach was easy. I’ve used VRBO several times, but this was absolutely my best experience. Can’t wait to go back!
We loved the Crabby Paddy and Eve was a wonderful host. The condo was perfect for our family and we enjoyed spending our vacation on our favorite beach. We will definitely be coming back again!
We were just on the Cape for a few days of fishing. The accommodations could not have been cleaner nor could the host have been more helpful. I’ve stayed a the Barrier Dunes many times and this property rates at the top.
The property was everything we could have hoped for and more! Eve was easy to reach and responded immediately when we had a question. There were even board games for us to play when we had a rainy day and couldnt go to the beach. During our stay, there wasnt a single thing we found ourselves needing that wasnt already there! Overall, I have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend this beautiful condo for anyone looking to take a relaxing vacation! We will definitely be back!
The property was accurately described. It was very clean. We enjoyed the pickleball courts which were in close proximity to the townhouse. A short walk to the beach. Eve was hospitable and more than willing to assist in any manner. Checked in with us via email to make sure all was okay. Thankfully, nothing went wrong during our stay.
The BEST unit in Barrier Dunes. Clean, fresh, and well appointed you could swear you're staying in your own house. There is nothing to lack for when you show up. The owner's directions and communications are spot on and very detailed leaving nothing to question. Bottom line if you want a great place to stay this unit is for you. I really appreciate the effort that Eve has put into this property to make it the best!
This unit offered all the comforts of home, so many small touches that made a big difference — large hooks around the house for hanging towels, a well-equipped kitchen with lots of utensils for cooking, and beach chairs, umbrella and a wagon made the 5 minute walk to the beach fast (there are stairs to get over the dunes, but overall the wagon saved us from multiple hauls to the beach!)
The host was super responsive when we had a question, and the home was impeccably clean and comfortable. It is located in a great condo community that was quiet yet active. The pool and pickleball courts are very close, which were kept immaculate too. The beach access was easy to find/get to, and the beach is very family friendly (making it more densely populated).
We felt right at home and would definitely come back to stay here when visiting the Cape again!
Our stay at Crabby Paddy was lovely. The community is pleasant and the gulf water is pristine. Although we kept the thermostats around 76, the upstairs living quarters had a hard time keeping cool . However, considering the extreme heat advisories in the area, we assumed all air conditioning systems were taxed . The assortment of iced teas were much needed and appreciated. Also, the coffee bar is super cute however I think the cleaning staff might need to change the options as most had recently expired. Overall, the unit is pristine, nicely decorated, and the beds sleep beautifully. Hopefully next time we can have access to the upstairs bathtub, however the hot water in the bathtub downstairs did the trick healing from an unfortunate sting by an ocean critter. We loved Eve’s thoughtful snacks , notes, and commitment to cleanliness and organizational design. She clearly has high standards and we respected her commitment to our comfort and will be back soon. If you choose to stay here, treat the home as if it is your own, as she clearly loves this property.
We really enjoyed our stay here! It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable and it’s in a great location! The quiet gated community close to the State Park was exactly what we were looking for. We’ll definitely consider staying here again when we visit the Cape!
Very comfortable condo and has everything you need to relax and enjoy the beach. Close to restuarants, conveinience store, ice cream shops and of course, the beach. Had a wonderful time and enjoyed the sunsets!
This was without a doubt our best and favorite VRBO experience! Eve went truly above and beyond to make our stay so wonderful! Her home was clean, cozy and perfectly stocked with everything you could think of. It truly felt like a home away from home! And steps from the beach, which made it all the more perfect. We are so thankful to have found this amazing gem in Cape San Blas!
Perfect place for a relaxed and affordable beach vacation. Lots of available beach items to facilitate that, and lots of extra small things in the house to make you feel welcome. 2 pools on site are nice, 5 min walk to the beach, 10 min walk to the star park. Host was fantastic to communicate with.
The home was very clean and well stocked with needed items. The pools and the beach were very close and so beautiful. Thanks you for sharing this amazing home with us.
