About this property
Rare April 11-18 cancellation.Reduced rate and Free pontoon boat for your stay.
If the dates you desire at The Crab Shack are not available, check out our other little sister property The Pelican Place at VRBO.com/1309506, also on the water with a pontoon boat included.
The Crab Shack is nicely renovated and, newly decorated a fun beachy theme.
3 spacious bedrooms with beds for a max of 8 people. The Master suite has a full bath, with a walk in shower, and seperate sink /counter area. The other 2 bedrooms, both with large closets share the 2nd full bath with tub/ shower. There are new flat screen TV's in all 3 bedrooms, living room and lanai. New furnishings and appliances. Beautiful fully stocked kitchen and basic pantry supplies for your cooking needs. Enough paper products, laundry soap and coffee to get you started.
This home sits directly on a deep water canal leading out to the gulf of Mexico. You are 5 minutes away from open water. Fish and catch crabs right outside the back door from your private dock. You can experience lots of wildlife, from the friendly manatee, to the dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, loads of fish and many exotic birds.
The pontoon boat is yours for your entire stay and is docked right outside, the salt water pool has the option to be heated to a comfortable 84 degrees for an additional charge
Guests with boating experience have FREE use of the pontoon boat during their entire stay. Cruise the canals, fish in the flats or venture out to the beautiful sandbar or island.

We provide Boat US for your safety and protection.
The home is protected with security cameras on the docks and all exterior doors and the pool deck.

About the host
Hosted by Kim and Brenda
We reside in NE Wisconsin and love to travel. After staying at several Florida VRBO locations, we fell in love with Gulf Harbors. One day we will retire and live in Gulf Harbors, but for now we want to share this amazing place with others. It is our goal to help make your vacation the best experience possible.
Why they chose this property
We love Gulf Harbors, and all it has to offer. This is a quiet friendly family neighborhood. If you are looking for a party place this isn't the right location for you. Experience the convenience of fishing, swimming and boating in the channel right outside your back door. There are 2 private docks. We frequently see the dolphins and manatees from the dock. We have kayaks and bikes for your use. Just a 20 minute boat ride on the included pontoon boat brings you to the beautiful Anclote Island State Preserve or the pet friendly sand bar. Here you can imagine you are floating in the Bahamas with white sand beaches and warm shallow gulf waters. There are tons of shells and fish..
Stocked with everything you need or a great vacation. We provide beach towels, beach chairs, sun umbrella, fishing poles, snorkeling equipment, assorted size life jackets, a large gas grill, wireless printer, high speed internet, baby/children items include high chair, pack n play, stroller, locks for kitchen cabinets, bike trailer, inside toys, beach toys, wagon, ride on toys and plastic dinnerware for the children.

What makes this property unique
The boat is included at no extra charge and is yours for your entire stay. You must have prior boating experience to drive the boat. Beautiful salt water pool has a sun shelf with bubblers, nice for sun bathers, babies and toddlers to play in the shallow water. The screened lanai with travertine patio opens to the pool deck. The screened lanai also opens into the living room dining room and Master bedroom by large sliders. After booking online we will email you the rental contract for your signature. .
