Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet Stay at the Crab Shack We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Crab Shack. The two bedroom condo was great for our family of four. We enjoyed the back porch outdoor area as it had a lot of seating for relaxing after the day at the beach/pool. The water hoses out front and out back made for easy clean up after a day at the beach. The device charging stations around the house was a nice touch as well. Will definitely stay here again! ##### Kecia C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaimi T. Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway condo for families! We loved staying here! The host was quick to respond on the app, and the property was clean and exactly as advertised. The pool was so much fun and the fishing docks were super close as well! We caught a variety of pinfish, mullet, catfish and trout while fishing. The complex was clean, and we did not have issues with excessive noise or anything of that nature. The beach was approximately a 10 minute walk (or 2 minute drive) away. The host provided some beach supplies as well, which we used during our stay. Everything was great, and we would definitely stay here again! ##### Jaimi T. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda P. Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great time at the Crab Shack. The kids loved the pool with the slides!
