We had a wonderful week at this property! A short walk to the beach and boardwalk and other restaurants. It was clean and had toys for the kids and all the beach gear you could ever need! Highly recommend the crab shack for your Jersey Shore stay!
This was amazing house to stay in ! Kevin is a fantastic person to rent from !! Very clean and they provide everything!!! Do not hesitate to rent this cottage !!
My family and I enjoyed our time at this property. A short 2 block walk to the beach with a great yard for an outdoor space for grilling and relaxing. The house came with so many amenities, all we really needed to do was unpack and enjoy ourselves. I would stay again at this property.
This has been our fifth year running at the Crab Shack, and after having missed last year, it was so great to be back. The house is equipped with everything you need for both indoor and outdoors, and is very comfortable for 2-4 people. We love the yard, and she’s with bikes and water sport equipment was great. Amazing location. Can’t wait for next year!
We love vacationing at this beach home. It's a short walk to the beach and the house has everything you need such as cooking supplies, beach supplies and kids toys. Kevin is always quick to respond if you ever need anything or have a question. Highly recommend!
We love this property, it was our families 3rd year visiting and we had another great vacation. The house has all the amenities you could think of. Yard is large and fenced in, perfect for grilling and hanging outside with younger children. Short walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby.
One of the best places we've stayed @ the Jersey Shore! The location is perfect (few blocks to beach/boardwalk) and the shed is stocked with literally everything you'd need for a fun week at the beach. Everything inside was clean and just wonderful. Looks like the family or prior guests had a pet (a fair amount of dog hair under the beds, dressers, etc) - but other than that, everything was perfect!

Thank you for the kind review. I sincerely apologize for the dog hair. We do not typically allow animals and this is one of the reasons. I will insure this is addressed with the cleaning service. Again I apologize you delt with this matter.
This was our third consecutive year at the Crab Shack and it never fails to disappoint. House is very clean and equipped with everyone one might need at the Jersey shore. Host was very responsive. Highly recommend!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at the crab shack. The house is a perfect vacation home, and equipped with everything we needed in terms of household supplies (cleaning, cooking, linens, laundry) as well as beach necessities. House was very clean, beautifully laid out, and very comfortable. We were able to prepare meals and hang out comfortably. The backyard is absolutely amazing, a perfect oasis. Most importantly, it’s in a great location, very close to both the beach and boardwalk, and great restaurants. It was our second year at the crab shack, and we look forward to our next visit!
Our stay was wonderful- we really enjoyed relaxing in the spacious backyard. Everything we needed was available, clean and orderly. The indoor and outdoor toys were a great hit with our toddler. She discovered new ones everyday. The beach was two blocks away- close to the busy Seaside Heights boardwalk on one end; and to a more tranquil Seaside Park boardwalk on the other. Best of both worlds. We enjoyed the small playground nearby on the bayside as well. We hope to stay here again in the future!

A beautiful vacation getaway
My fiancé and I enjoyed a wonderful vacation at this beautiful beach house. Since it was only a couple of blocks from the beach and boardwalk it made for a lovely walk there each morning. The outside shower at the house made the return trip a much less sandy entrance. With such a stunning backyard it was great place to hangout and enjoy the day, have a BBQ, and watch the sunset. Inside, The Crabshack had all the necessities of daily living and more so nothing limited what we could do at the location. We were so blessed to have found this place that really ended up being just like a home away from home.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. You were fantastic guests and we thank you for treating the home like it was your own. We look forward to having you or your fiancés family as guests in the future.
We just returned from our family vacation in Seaside Park. Our stay at The Crab Shack was awesome with everything the listing & reviews note and more! The house is very clean and flows quite well. There were 5 of us in the house (2 adults, 2 teenage boys, and 1 toddler). We all were comfortable with the sleeping arrangements and the 1.5 baths. The house is stocked with seriously everything (we brought stuff to use as well to not depend on it) and the laundry onsite was a big plus! The backyard is amazing (just too bad the rain kept us away a couple days) and the shed of items/activities is truly appreciated. The location is perfect, easy to access but quiet, very short walk to boardwalk fun and only 2 blocks to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation, and the house had a big part to do with that! Thank you for being great hosts! We look forward to returning in the future.
We stayed at The Crab Shack this past week and would absolutely stay again. You really don’t need to pack much because this house has everything you could possibly need- kitchen appliances galore, hair dryers, beach/shower towels, bedding, and the little things you don’t think of until you need them like laundry detergent, garbage bags, paper towels, and toilet paper. This house is perfectly located, with easy access to the bay, pier, and ocean. Parking is pretty ideal too, not to mention the multi car parking in the driveway. So many added bonuses. My personal favorite was the paddle boards. Was able to walk mine over to the bay and knock out a 2 mile paddle with my brother. The best part is truly the backyard. We loved the high quality lounge seating and dining table. Perfect for relaxing outside to enjoy the sunset. Thanks again!
We had a great stay! The house was neat, clean and exactly as the listing described. Kevin and family were great hosts! We would definitely come back and recommend to family and friends.
This was a first time staying and wouldn’t go anywhere else! The location is perfect, 2 blocks to the beach, 1 block to the bay. This house came stocked with everything u could possible need for a memorable family vacation. The owners were very easy to work with and to get in contact with. Don’t look any further!
Clothes, toiletries and stuff to eat is all you need to bring for an amazing beach vacation. We loved the yard and all the extras that were available for our use. The owner texted evening of our arrival to make sure everything was satisfactory, communication with the Owner was excellent. We can’t wait to return to “The Crab Shack!”
This was our second stay at this property and we are looking forward to returning. The house is stocked with many amenities, all you need to do is unpack and enjoy. It is a short walk to the beach and the yard is a very nice size to relax and grill after a day at the beach. The host is great with communication as well.
We had a great time in Seaside Park and that was largely because of the Crab Shack! Communication was great, kitchen and shed were well stocked and we loved being able to walk everywhere!! We appreciated the welcome gift, spending time in the yard and all of the little touches, we would love to stay again!!
