We really enjoyed our time at the Crab Shack! The place is very comfortable, and the big open space for the living, dining, and kitchen area was great for our entire family to be together. We appreciated the beach towels, chairs, pickleball set, fire pit, outdoor shower, and the deck to watch beautiful sunsets. We also brought our dog - and it was nice having her with us. The owner stayed in communication with us during a power outage (due to a tropical storm the previous day), which was really nice, and we did use the flashlight that we found on site. We enjoyed 2 meals at Juanita's Fish Camp in Crystal Beach and purchased bait from friendly Ms. Nancy's Bait Camp for fishing. The short walk across the road to the beach is very convenient and the waves were fantastic during our visit. We'll be back!

Check in was so easy, kitchen was so organized and the whole house was just simply beautiful. Perfect beach vibe inside and out! We had so much fun playing giant jenga and watching the sun rise and set on the wraparound porch! The owner was so nice and even answered my nervous questions about being safe at the beach! We absolutely loved our stay here!!

We had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and the property was well kept. Will definitely rent from again.

The crab shack had exactly what my family needed for a trip to the Texas coast! The kitchen was well stocked with all the cookware needed to prepare meals. There was even a wireless speaker setup for us to listen to music while we ate. Although we brought board games from home, my girls wanted to play the ones there. The beach is just a short walk across the road. The views of the gulf and bay from the wrap around porch were breathtaking. We will be back again!
