About this property

Crab Shack Apartment – Luxury Beachfront Duplex Above Award-Winning Seafood Restaurant

A striking landmark on Teignmouth’s lively Back Beach, the Crab Shack Apartment offers an unforgettable blend of luxury living, coastal style and award-winning seafood on your doorstep. With its bold exterior and beautifully curated interiors, this contemporary duplex sleeps six and provides the perfect beachside escape for families, foodies, walkers and watersport lovers.



Step inside and you’ll find a calming palette of ocean blues, warm golds and soft neutrals designed to help you unwind the moment you arrive. The spacious first-floor living area is made for slow, cosy days—featuring two comfortable sofas, a hanging bubble chair, a woodburner and an honesty bar. Open the doors to your private balcony and soak up uninterrupted views of the water, boats and pastel sunsets.



The galley kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for relaxed self-catering, including a dishwasher, coffee machine, oven, microwave and washer dryer. For a truly special experience, order seafood dishes straight from the renowned Crab Shack On The Beach restaurant below, served to you on the balcony overlooking the waves.



Upstairs, three beautifully designed bedrooms await. A spacious super-king room with sea views promises dreamy beach-filled slumbers, while a stylish king and a cosy double with a unique vertical-garden ensuite offer restful retreats. A large family bathroom with bath and shower completes the space—perfect after a day in the surf.



Step outside and the best of Devon is on your doorstep. Paddleboard at dawn, take the historic ferry to Shaldon, explore Teignmouth’s independent shops and arts quarter, wander the Victorian pier, join watersports sessions, or venture further to Dartmoor, Torbay and Exeter.



Professionally managed by Fresh Escapes, the Crab Shack Apartment delivers seamless, stylish living by the sea. From seafood feasts to sunset views and sandy adventures, this is a holiday home you’ll return to time and time again.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay in Teignmouth

We had a wonderful 4 night stay in Teignmouth and there is lots to do in the area, we would love to come back again as we enjoyed it so much. Very pleased with our accommodation, spacious, clean and in a very good location. The views from the balcony in the morning and evening are perfect. Everything is close by and easy to find. The parking options were also good, easy to find and reasonable.

Our stay at the crab shack

Really good experience with fresh escapes. They were very helpful. The accommodation is in a fantastic location and the beds are extremely comfortable. We were disappointed with how the property was presented when we arrived. It wasn’t clean and there was no form of welcome (just a pint of milk so that we could have made a drink would have been nice). The kitchen doesn’t seem that well equipped and there are various issues with the windows. In our opinion the whole place could do with a refresh. Yes, the location is amazing but for the price you pay we would have expected more.

Beautiful Crab Shack apartment

This lovely apartment was a great location for us , so nicely decorated and a fantastic view . Not much improvement needed , the back bedroom could do with a blackout blind and as it was very hot when we were there a fan would have been useful. Also quieter seagulls if possible!

60th Birthday Weekend

The property was very nice with a fabulous view. However, the restaurant downstairs was closed which we weren't told about. I had tried calling to arrange some food to be delivered to the apartment (as described in the details), but didn't get an answer or a reply to a message that I left. It wasn't a disaster but a bit disappointing.There was a strong smell of cat urine at the bottom of the stairs which I emailed about but no-one replied.The apartment was nice but was a bit tatty in some areas. The sloping floors were quite disorientating - I found myself almost falling off the loo! We also felt one key wasn't enough as you have to lock the door from the inside otherwise it can be opened from the outside. The beds were very comfortable with nice bed linen. The kitchen was ok but if you wanted to cater for yourselves, it wouldn't be easy as not many pots and pans. The fridge was a really good size, but on the wonky floor, it was difficult to get things in and out without the door closing on you. Parking was fine, just a few minutes walk away. In the summer, we felt it would have been very noisy as it has a lot of food and drink outlets very close by.

Seaside stay with family

Good location, right on the beach. It’s right next door to a pub and over a restaurant so bustling! Wouldn’t want to stay with a young family without current restrictions e.g pub closed at 9. Imagine it would be very noisy. The apartment is lovely however no where near as clean as it should have been, especially with Covid! Dirty behind toilets and dusty. Lack of simple amenities such as no dust pan brush (just dustpan and big brush), Hoover was filthy didn’t pick up anything. Cooker wasn’t working on arrival, got sorted eventually but not working well. You wouldn’t want to rely on it if cooking for a family. The amenity listing on the site was inaccurate, no washing machine or coffee machine. Overall we had a lovely time, we were just frustrated by the lack of attention and care to things that made us feel we overpaid.

5 star location and apartment, but missing some basics.

Lovely location, easy access to the high street/beach/pubs, beautiful furnishings. A total 5 star location, but felt it was lacking in a few basics. We weren’t left enough toilet roll for 4 people for 4 days, no pepper, no cooking oil, no brown sauce/ketchup, no freezer/ability to make ice (there’s a beautiful cocktail bar, but no ice makes it feel unusable). Also, wish we were given more than 1 bath towel per person for a 4 day stay. Overall, we’d go back to Teignmouth and this property, but would hope for a few more amenities to make sure we can use the property as intended.

Great location for a short break

We had a great stay at the crab shack, which is a spacious apartment with enough room for 4 adults and 4 children to have a comfortable stay. We stayed in winter during storms but still enjoyed the great views of the estuary. The apartment is clean but would benefit from some general ‘TLC’ to get it back up to ‘luxury‘ standard in time for summer.
