Seagrove "Crabb Shack" 162 Chivas Lane

Trish I: We had a enjoyable time at the Crabb Shack in October 2021. The kitchen is very well stocked with all you could need. The bunk room is not a true room. There is no door, simply a curtain separating it from the upstairs den. If you are looking for private/deeded beach access, this is not the property for you. There is a private boardwalk to the beach, but you then have to walk down past a condo building to the public beach, I wish this had been clearer in the description, as it said private beach. We would have preferred not to have to get out there at 7:00 am every morning to get a front row spot.

Property Manager Response: Trish, We are so sorry to hear that your stay in Seagrove Beach was anything less than five stars. We absolutely understand how frustrating it can be to encounter these inconveniences and we sincerely apologize. We appreciate your feedback and we will share this with our property management team. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue and we hope you will consider us again in the future.

Lina B: Beautiful home! We loved staying at the Crab Shack. It's really nice and close to the beach. We enjoyed bike rides, pool, grill, outdoor patio and nice bedrooms.

Property Manager Response: Lina, We are thrilled to hear that you loved your stay with us at ""Crab Shack"" in Seagrove Beach. We appreciate your valuable feedback and we look forward to hosting you again soon. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue.

Majda T: The location and layout of the house was perfect for us. Super close to everything and public beach access. The only confusion was about the private beach access, there is a board walk you can use to get to the beach but then you have to walk like 2 mins down to actually be on public beach. We had 7 kids 6 and under and it was a great trip! The house was everything we needed, from the cozy bedrooms to the private pool.

Property Manager Response: Majda, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us in Seagrove Beach. We appreciate and value your feedback and we hope you can visit us again soon. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue.

Ginger C: We had 5 adults and 4 young children in our group. The house was the perfect layout for us. We paid to have the pool heated which was a hit. The close proximity to the beach made it easy for the kids.

Property Manager Response: Ginger, We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us in Seagrove Beach. We agree that the house is the perfect layout for families and the pool heat is a nice bonus. We hope that you can come back to visit again soon. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue.

Oliver C: Our family came together from three states to celebrate the life of our mother who passed away in late summer. This area of Florida was a family favorite and she loved the beach. Coming together as siblings with our own children made for a very special time. The home was perfect and we had ample space to move around and relax. The pool was a hit with the kids after the long day of playing on the beach. The weather was gorgeous as well. We enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving.

Property Manager Response: What a beautiful photo Oliver! Thank you for sharing. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Seagrove Beach! We completely agree that this is the perfect home for gathering together as a family and we are so sorry for your loss. Thank you for staying with 360 Blue and we hope you visit again soon!

Samantha Z: What a great trip to Seagrove!! A week filled with my family was so good for the soul. We enjoyed the Crab Shack home so much. Beautiful home that fit our family perfectly, with room to spare. The proximity to beach is ideal. Plus having the private pool made for even more fun & relaxing times. The short drive into Seaside is great as well. We will definitely be returning. Only 1 small hiccup, the last night, as the neighbors partied pretty late. Over all such a WONDERFUL vacation & rental property. Can't wait to return next year.

Property Manager Response: We are so delighted you enjoyed your vacation in Seagrove so much! The home is so beautiful and we are so happy you and your family made so many wonderful memories there. Thank you so much for staying with 360 Blue and we can't wait to have you back!

David L: This was our 2nd week of a 2 week stay in Santa Rosa Beach. The house was very nice, modern, high end finish out. Kitchen was very nice. Pool perfect. Location excellent with beach access so close. Private access was nice but actual beach frontage was a little limited since there is private beach frontage on both sides. Condos on one side and private homes on the other. Management company was very responsive. Negatives - cost was relatively high compared to where we stayed the first week, House wasn't cleaned well when we moved in (mini bar countertop and both dresser drawer tops in guest bedrooms were DIRTY. Like they hadn't been cleaned in awhile. All covered with sand and grit. Really need to address that with the cleaning crew. No extra amenities outside of the bikes, which we didn't used. No beach toys, golf cart, etc. The beach chair setup company was expensive compared to others but apparently the company has the exclusive contract for that stretch of beach. Would I stay again? Probably

Property Manager Response: We are delighted you had a great vacation in Seagrove! We do apologize about the housekeeping issues you experienced and have since resolved that with our housekeeping department and cleaning crews to make sure it does not happen again. Thank you for your valuable feedback! Thank you for staying with 360 Blue and be sure to come back and see us soon!

BRANDON H: We had a great time at Crabb Shack with 5 adults and 5 kids (7-19). The Crabb Shack layout, location and pool were all terrific. There were a few items that should be addressed in the near future. 1. Top floor ceiling lighting receptacles air conditioning vents and ducts have MOLD. This needs to be addressed ASAP. 2. Cleanliness was sub par for a 360 property. I could have done better myself with my own vacuum and cleaning supplies in less than 1 hour. 3. Beach access awesome, beach front neighbor harassment was dreadful. The house right next to the access and the one next to them were the main issues. If there are private property issues and easements for ""Walk Over Dunes"" homes, there should be markers and space for us renting the 360 homes. 4. Mischievous Mermaid 360 renters were very loud and lacked responsibility, fights around the pool, driveway and streets towards the end of the week (photo attached) 5. A few more than 3 coffee cups and 3 bowls would be great.

Property Manager Response: Brandon, we are sorry to hear that your stay with us was anything less than five stars. We appreciate your valuable feedback and we will be sure to share this information with our entire team in an effort to correct this for future guests. Thank you for staying with 360 Blue and we do hope to see you again!

Ray F: Great vacation for 4 adults and 8 teens. Proximity to the beach is fantastic and plenty of space on private beach so that we did not feel crowded. Will rent from 360 again as the staff and service were the most responsive we've ever encountered.

Property Manager Response: We are so excited to hear that your stay with us in Seagrove Beach was one to remember! We agree that Seagrove is a great spot to be if you want to be in a less crowded area! We are happy to hear that your experience with 360 Blue was positive- We strive to provide our guests with everything they need to make their vacation carefree! We look forward to hosting you and your family again soon!

Marian G: We loved our stay at the Crabb Shack! We had 11 people (7 adults, 4 kids) and had plenty of space. The house was very clean and the close beach access was great! Our only suggestion would be more outdoor furniture around the pool. Many days all 11 of us wanted to eat lunch around the pool and lay out but there weren't enough tables or lounge chairs. We would definitely come back again!

Property Manager Response: We love hearing that you enjoyed your stay in Seagrove Beach! We completely agree that the close beach access is part of what makes this house great. Thank you for staying with 360 Blue and we hope to see you all again soon!

Lisa C: This was our first visit to Seagrove and also the first time we've rented a home through 360 Blue. We had 12 people stay in the Crabb Shak and it was perfect for our family! The young kids loved the bunk bed room, and our college kids liked the main floor bedroom with their own small refrigerator. The house is absolutely stunning! We all agreed that we would use 360 Blue again for future vacations. They were so helpful when we needed some additional items for a family member who had some mobility limitations due to a recent surgery. They had solutions for everything we needed, and gave us fantastic advice on local photographers for a beach family photo. Our only suggestion is that the home could use an additional refrigerator. We did struggle a little with having food and drinks for so many. Thank you for helping us make priceless memories!

Property Manager Response: We are so glad that you enjoyed your family vacation at this wonderful house in Seagrove! We are happy to hear that we were able to accommodate the family member with mobility limitations. We strive to make sure our guests are comfortable and are always willing to help in any way possible! Thank you for your feedback about the additional refrigerator and will be sure to pass it along to the owner. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

eddie r: Loved it. Perfect location and perfect for our family of 8. A couple of notes/suggestions- pool furniture! Need some quality chairs and loungers here for guests. What's there does not work. I would have gladly paid an extra $100 in the rental for good pool furniture. Suggestion - access to breaker box. Our family rented 2 golf carts for the week which were plugged in to outside outlets. Well they kept tripping the breakers downstairs. We called 360 blue once but it happened again. Had to plug in to outlets in the hall entrance way. Breaker box is in the garage and I understand limited access but something to consider. Pool Heater- paid for the week and it didn't heat. Called twice and 360 came out both times. However, pool service showed up Thursday and mentioned the valve was not open which limited the heater. Finally after 5 days it heated as it was intended. 360 blue mentioned they would make an adjustment to our payment. Other than that - we would rent again tomorrow. Thanks 360 Blue.

Property Manager Response: We are so glad that you found this amazing home comfortable for your stay and greatly appreciate your feedback! We are happy to say that thanks to your review, the homeowner has made plans to replace the patio furniture to something more functional. We will be sure to share the rest of your valuable feedback in an effort to correct those things as well. Thank you for staying with 360 Blue, we hope to see you again soon!

Kayla W: There were 10 of us that stayed at this beautiful home for a bachelorette party the first weekend of October, and we had a phenomenal time! The private pool was perfect, and the house was so clean, updated, and super nice! It is a 1 minute walk to the beach, and the beach was very pretty! Make sure to check the things to do through 360 Blue Properties! The check in and check out process was so easy and all the staff I talked to prior to the trip were very helpful. Gary, a massage therapist through 360 blue, came to the house for a massage for the bride, and she loved it! He was very professional and friendly, and the massage was phenomenal. We ate at great southern cafe and highly recommend it! Overall, it was a perfect location and a perfect house that made for some great memories! :)

Property Manager Response: We could not be happier that you and your group decided to celebrate such a fun and wonderful event with us! We especially love the photo you shared with us, it shows how much fun you all had! We agree that this home is perfect for a fun and relaxing getaway and we are so glad you all had the chance to explore the area and enjoy some 360 Blue experiences! We hope to be able to host you all again soon! Congratulations to the bride!

Lisa C: Fantastic beach home for two families to share. We had a group of 4 adults and 4 kids ranging from 2-13. More than enough comfortable sleeping accommodations with thoughtful design of 4 built in bunk beds next to a central play/TV room upstairs and two bedrooms on each side. Downstairs has a great dinner table that is very comfortable to have meals around and a well appointed kitchen. The pool is so refreshing to dip into after a day on the beach which is just a short dedicated boardwalk away (3 min walk). The street is very quiet dead end so we never worried about the kids outside. Two grills to enjoy charcoal flavor if you want or propane for that quick grilling. In the middle of all the action on Emerald Coast only minutes to the square and the Hub. Great golf at Shark's Tooth (worth the price if you can get on) but most importantly private beach access!

Property Manager Response: We could not agree with you more! This home is perfect for larger groups and families and the location is hard to beat! The pool is such a nice bonus to enjoy after a long hot day at the beach and the accommodations make everyone feel right at home! Thank you for staying with 360 Blue, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

James J: Perfect location and perfect house!

Property Manager Response: We are so glad that you enjoyed your vacation with us in Seagrove! The photo you shared with us is wonderful! Thank you for staying with 360 Blue, we hope to see you again soon!

Barbara M: We enjoyed our stay! We had 6 adults and 6 children. The house was perfect! Four children loved the cozy, comfortable bunk beds. The private pool was great for the three 3 year olds. We want to stay here again!

Property Manager Response: We are so delighted to hear how much you and your family enjoyed your vacation with us in Seagrove! We agree that this home is perfect for a fun-filled family beach getaway and the accommodations are perfect for all! We hope we see you here again soon!

BRITTANY W: We loved our stay at Crabb Shack! It is a beautiful home! This is only our second visit to the 30A area and both times we stayed on Chivas Lane in Seagrove!! It's a perfect location being as it is almost centered on 30A! The private boardwalk and beach are definitely a huge plus! We also added on the chair service and it's more than worth the money! The master suite was one of my favorites in the house! The kitchen and living area were amazing as well! It fit our family of six perfectly. The outdoor shower was a huge plus after coming in from the beach and the private pool was by far the best part of the house! I would recommend they concrete the driveway all the way back as it's all sand besides for the first little bit which makes for a lot of extra messiness when getting to the car or walking etc {or any type of hard surface}. Or making the bark area along the driveway a sidewalk to make walking back and forth from the house easier. Also, a walkway to the outdoor shower would be nice too. Loved our stay!!

Property Manager Response: We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your vacation! We agree that this home, as well as this entire area of Seagrove, is such an amazing option for a fun and relaxing beach trip! The photo you shared is adorable! We look forward to seeing you again very soon!

Richard E: We have for many years (over 30) had our vacations along 30A with our growing family. We ventured off last year to a well known beach west of 30A in Alabama, but we beg forgiveness. We won't do that again. We especially love the Seagrove Beach area and this is our third time to stay on Chivas Lane. The house met all of our needs for sleeping 13 people, including a 2 year old. We have come home and ordered a foam top for our king bed, because the one we slept on was wonderful. The deck and cabana were very nice for early morning and late evening relaxing. The included bikes were a blessing. In the past we have loaded bikes on our cars and it was great not to do that this year. The pool was magnificent; just right for our family. We had some great times swimming late into the night. And the lawn surrounding it was fun for a game of wiffle ball. We would most definitely rent this house again if it were more handicap accessible. We both have struggles with stairs. Suggestions: The bedrooms did not offer storage (drawers) for clothes. The Master Bathroom was beautiful but could use some brighter lights for the mirror area. The kitchen lacked storage due to the cabinets being full of glassware and dishes. Evenso, a few more coffee mugs would be nice. There was a horrible smell under the sink that we determined was coming from the discharge pipe for the garbage disposal. We put a bowl of vinegar in the cabinet and it helped, but it still smelled bad. The vegetable drawer in the refrigerator was broken. The cabana and deck could benefit from ceiling fans. The first floor bedroom didn't have chairs as shown in the pictures. The stairways were beautiful. However, the darkness of the flooring and the turn of the steps caused some close calls. We ended up putting bandaids on those steps to warn people of the change in grade. Parking was an issue. We did pull cars around to the back of the house, but the lack of gravel led to some scary maneuvering to get out of the sand. We cleaned the cabana floor on Friday night and moved the CRAB SHACK mat over to the grass to dump all the sand off of it. Unfortunately, the edges were fragile and tore a bit. SORRY! Even with all these "suggestions" we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our week in the Crab Shack on Chivas Lane. We even recommended to some family members at our family reunion after we got back home. Thank you for allowing us to rent your lovely place.

Property Manager Response: We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful home and happy to have you back on 30A. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We loved having you with us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Maryanna S: This is our 4th beach vacation in Seaside and our first for Seagrove! We love this area as it is a perfect place for a family vacation! The Crabb Shack is a beautiful home! Light and airy and perfect for our 7 person family! I especially liked how much light enters the home and how comfortable the home is for a large family. The first floor open floor plan was ideal for cooking, eating and watching the ball fames! The pool was a fun add on even tho it was too chilly for us! The beach is seconds away - who could ask for more! A great vacation home! We had a blast! Cheers!

Property Manager Response: We are thrilled that you had such an amazing Thanksgiving stay in this beautiful home. It is the perfect place for a relaxing beach getaway any time of year. We hope to see you all back soon!
