Great vacation home

House was very nice. Location was awesome because it is very close to the beach. House advertises a hot tub but there isn’t a hot tub and the kitchen has lots of fancy dishes for hosting but not very practical dishes for making meals for a family.

Great location

Everything we needed for a great week. Beautiful sunsets from the porches, gulf view. Best part was proximity to fishing as my group are kayak fishermen and there was plenty of parking for our kayak trailer which is hard to find. Jamie was easily accessible for our questions.

Wonderful beach home

Crane Cottage was an amazing beach home! It was our kids and grandkids first visit to Florida and we made so many memories we will cherish forever. We had amazing views of the Gulf from both decks. The beach home was very cozy and inviting and beautifully decorated! Our hosts were so wonderful and very quick to answer all our questions. We will definitely come back to visit and stay at Crane Cottage again!!

Excellent Location and Stay!

We had an excellent multi-family stay! The location to the beach access is great! Very short walk to the beach, or you can rent a golf cart to shuttle all of your beach gear to the access from multiple rental companies in the area. The home was well decorated and had comfortable beds! Plenty of dishes and kitchen cookware. The luggage lift was very handy for groceries and transport of daily cooler "beach supplies"! We will return the next time we visit the area!

Perfect

The home was clean and very cozy. Everything you need for cooking meals in. The distance to the beach was about 600 feet so not far at all. And the best ocean views and the sunsets are beautiful. I could go on but I won't this place is perfect. I look forward to returning hopefully next year.

100% Recommend! Great experience!

We had a wonderful experience at Crane Cottage. The quiet neighborhood setting was just what we were looking for.Offers a short and direct walk to the beach where you will be presently surprised to find plenty of room to spread out as the area is not heavily populated. Our kids walked to the beach in the mornings and looked for shells by them selves as the area feels very secure. The house was well equipped and met all of our needs. A propane grill was a big plus. The kitchen had all the necessary components to cook our meals. Sunset views from the upper balcony were amazing!I would gladly recommend this property to anyone!

Wonderful Stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beach house! It is perfect for families with young children, and had toys and games that were a huge hit. The walk to the beach was very short and the host had lots of toys and beach chairs to use. The kitchen was stocked well and labeled, but could use a little more plates, or plan on running the dish washer after most meals. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch every evening with the beach view and breeze, and the sunset views are wonderful from the top deck. If you like to go out to eat for meals, just know this area is mainly food trucks, with a few sit down restaurants. We would definitely consider coming back to this house!

Love this place!!

My family and I really loved this house!! There was 9 of us total and we all were comfortable the whole time! This house is set back just off the main strip in a quiet neighborhood but a short two minute walk to the beach that was never over crowded with a lot of people. Beautiful views of the ocean from both levels of the house. I could keep going but I’ll keep it short. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation getaway without being in crowds of people and want easy access to the beach and a beautiful house to stay in? This is the place! We will definitely make this our beach vacation for years to come!

The home was amazing! Had everything you might need or want. You could never get tired of the sunsets, there. You can see the water from the decks but there are houses in the way. I used the zoom lens on my camera. There are lots of steps to get in.

We had a good week, although the place was smaller than anticipated. It was well stocked with hand soap and trash bags, even detergent. The gated deck was very nice. The bunk room is really more suited for kids, not adults. Bunks are low, I had to crawl in and out.
