This was the absolute best house we have ever stayed in. The house was so clean. Anything you could ever need was provided. The owners responded almost instantly. Bill the house manager was a absolute gem and on top of everything! We would highly recommend this stay to a couple or family! We had 8 adults and never felt cramped.

We had the most amazing time at the Crab Shack! We spent two weeks there and loved every minute. There is so much I want to say! The house was amazing! Clean, everything was well stocked. The location was perfect, and having the pool, canal and boat access really made it the perfect place to be. The host was very communicative, and always promptly answered any questions we had. We saw lots of sea turtles, geckos, and birds from the back yard. The one day that we took the boat to the sandbags we saw several dolphins. We loved it so much, We are already planning on going back.The house and exterior amenities are even more breathtaking in person. And the sunsets from the dock were AMAZING!This place is an absolute GEM!

We loved this house! It was very clean and had everything we needed—including toys for the kids, which was a great bonus. The pontoon boat was amazing, and we had so much fun going out to the sandbar. One day we even saw dolphins and a manatee, which made the trip extra special.Kim and Brenda were wonderful hosts and made everything easy. This was our second time staying here, and we would definitely come back again!

The Crab Shack was amazing. We had 8 people the 1st leg of the trip and 7 the remaining of the week. The house is so spacious. We never felt on top of each other. The house was so clean and had everything you could possibly need. The boat was the best addition. We went to the Anclote island twice and the sand bar twice. We should've done the sand bar every day. It was amazing. Fishing on one side, felt like the Caribbean on the other. We stuck the shibumi up and stayed out all day. Don't waste your time going to a local beach. Just hit up the sand bar. The pool was so nice as well. There's a Publix down the road. Also, ate at The rusty belly. So good! We saw sea turtles and dolphins all around the dock. Such a peaceful area. (Also mattresses and pillows were comfy and there was a box fan in each room for anyone that needs air blowing directly on them like I do ) check in was so simple and communication was always super quick with the owners. We loved meeting Kim and Brenda and can't wait to come back to their property again

Amazing vacation home

This is a wonderful private florida retreat with a pool, dock, and boat. The views right on the water were relaxing and the dolphins and manatees that swim up the channel were a fun surprise for all of us. The location is close enough to everything yet far enough away to be relaxing.

Relaxing Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Crab Shack! The house was very clean, well stocked and comfortable but we spent most of our time outside - riding the provided bikes, enjoying the relaxing pool and spent hours on the boat fishing and exploring Anclote Key. The owners take great care of this property and are wonderful hosts. We would definitely visit again.
