Crab Shack house is beautiful decorated and the location is perfect, right on a private beach. Highly recommended. Only a few suggestions: update the appliances (Kitchen and Fridge) and replace the portable BBQ that are very dated, it was impossible to control the burners of the BBQ and burned my hand (nothing critical).

Loved the proximity to the beach, had our own private beach spot to hang out and watch the kids. The house had everything we needed to cook. Had an issue with the Cable TV’s from a previous storm. Needed propane for the outdoor grill Unfortunately had to depart early due to a mandatory evacuation due to an incoming storm

The location of this house is perfect! You walk down the stairs from the deck and your toes are in the sand. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to cook our meals. The beach is private which was great for our dog to run and play. This was the most relaxing vacation we have had in years. I would recommend this home if you want a very relaxing vacation. We will be renting this home again in the future.
