About this house rental

Crab's Shack, everyone agrees, is an awesome family Beach House. (For more pictures, please visit our website under crabsshack.) Two of the best features are the proximity to the beach and the private dock on the creek. If you are looking for a close and easy walk to the beach paired with the ability to keep your own boat or just to be able to fish and crab off of a dock, Crab’s Shack would be perfect for you! For the beach lovers, there are no sand dunes to cross. The ramp access to the beautiful and uncrowded beach is directly across the street from the end of the driveway. So close! The dock is located on the creek behind the house. It features a floating dock, fish cleaning table, bench seating, and crab traps for your use. Enjoy sunrises on the beach and sunsets on the dock!

Crab’s Shack is a four-bedroom, three-bath home. It comfortably accommodates up to 13 people. The upstairs (main) area of the home sleeps six, while the ground level area sleeps seven. There is a separate entrance to the ground level area which is perfect for those late-night people or for use as a second family living space. (Please note: the lower floor is not connected to the main level of the house.) On the main floor, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and an attached, full, private bath. Bedroom 2 has two twin beds while Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. Connecting Bedrooms 2 and 3 is a jack-and-jill bath which includes a double sink and a private bathroom/tub/shower room. In the living area of the main floor you will find the kitchen, dining area, family room and a second breakfast/game table. The living space is large, open and bright with plenty of comfortable seating. It is the perfect place for everyone to gather for meals, TV and socializing. There is also a screened porch with seating off the back of the main family room and a front deck with lounge chairs for those who wish to enjoy the sun from the comforts of home.

The main entrance to the ground level living area is under the carport. The ground level offers a second family room with TV, a small breakfast table, full refrigerator (perfect for overflow from upstairs) and a queen size sleeper sofa. The downstairs bedroom features a double bed plus a bunk bed with a double lower bunk and single upper bunk. This level has a double vanity with separate private bathroom/tub/shower room. The living area opens onto a covered patio seating area with a grill and picnic table. There are convenient back steps which lead up to the screened porch above.

Another great feature on the lower floor is the pair of outdoor (but private!) showers located under the front deck. This is the perfect area to wash off the sand and salt water when you come up from the beach. This home offers high speed internet, two flat screen televisions (one in the main family room and one in the lower floor family room), and a Bluetooth Speaker.

Located on the southern part of Fripp Island, Crab’s Shack is convenient to the Beach Club, Cabana Club, Ocean Creek Golf Course & the Marina. With a golf cart, you can easily get anywhere your heart desires!

We have stayed in several VRBO's but this has been our best experience so far! The property was awesome and came with everything you would need. We did not have to go out to buy anything other than our food. The kitchen is fully stocked, the linens were nice and the beds were comfortable. The owners were so sweet and available and accomodating with any requests. I would absolutely book this home again!

Spacious, bright living room with lots of table space inside and a lovely screened in porch to accommodate large group meals. Perfect location across from beach access that has no stairs and a gentle ramp so my 85 year old mother could easily reach the beach. The dock leading to the canal was a great bonus where my sons enjoyed fishing and crabbing when they weren’t on the beach. We can’t wait to come back next year.

We loved the outside his/her showers. Everyone showered before coming inside and kept the sand outside. The boys loved the dock but were disappointed they could not kayak. Owners were great to work with.

30 Years Going to Fripp and this is the Best
30 Years Going to Fripp and this is the Best
My family and I have been going to Fripp for 30 + years and have rented a multitude of houses big and small but the Crab's Shack is the best. This was our first time renting this house but if it is available it wont be our last. We absolutely loved the kitchen. It was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook with from an electric skillet to pots to steam crabs in. The kitchen setup also made sense. The main living room is huge which we also enjoyed with big coaches that were comfortable. The pier behind the house allowed us to catch every fish imaginable from Black Drum to flounder. We also caught 4 dozen huge blue crabs that we ate one night. The water was deep enough for us to park our 17' Boston Whaler on it and keep it there all week with no trouble. If you do however take a boat note anything larger than around 14' will take you quite a while to get to and from the marina unless you go out into the ocean and around the island. It took us exactly 45 minutes going 26 knots to get back to the marina in the river. Just like the pictures show the beach is a stones through away. In fact we have had ocean front places that were further from the beach on Fripp. Lastly the owner communicates very well. We had a ton of question we asked the days leading up to our visit and each one was answered clearly and timely. We also had a hurricane that affected our trip and we could not be happier with the communication that was provided to us to tell us what to expect and what to do. This house is a must rent in all aspects. I would say the only thing missing is the view of the ocean from your front window but if you want to see that all you have to do is take a few steps.
