About this property
Great location, spacious yard, & coffee bar
Have your dream vacation in this adorable and refined 3 bedroom, 2 bath house right by the Bayou in Galveston. Welcome to the Crab Shack!
Have your dream vacation in this adorable and refined 3 bedroom, 2 bath house right by the Bayou in Galveston. Welcome to the Crab Shack!
Whether you're here to catch some fish, enjoy the beach, or go out on the town, you've found the perfect home base for all the above. Though the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, this home is close to EVERYTHING.
4 minutes to great fishing
5 minutes to the beach and Seawall
6 minutes to Moody Gardens
7 minutes to Schlitterbahn, Pleasure Pier and The Historic Strand in downtown Galveston (depending on traffic)
You can have fun and do it all! Because home is only a few minutes away.
When you come home to the Crab Shack, there's plenty of space to help you relax.
Catch some rays or enjoy the ocean breeze on your two private decks.
Unwind in the lovely shaded patio under the house, complete with plenty of seating and table space to enjoy food or drinks, play cards, or just hang out. Let the kids play in the nice, spacious backyard. There's also an outdoor shower, so you can rinse off the salt and sand after a fun day at the beach.
Inside of the home is a breath of fresh air. The open concept, unique decor, and sleek hardwood floors will put you in a vacation mood, instantly. Take a load off in the very cozy living area. There are two couches and two cushioned rocking chairs facing the large flatscreen TV. Wanting some home entertainment? The TV comes with cable, streaming, and an assortment of DVDs if you're feeling old school.
If you like having home-cooked meals while on vacation, you will love this home's kitchen and dining area. The large kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the dishes, silverware, and cookware you need to make delicious dinners, snacks, breakfast, or lunches. When it's time to eat, the dining table has room for six.
A highlight of this home is the amazing coffee & breakfast bar located in the kitchen. On the bar, you'll find a Keurig-style coffee maker, a French Press, a blender, a Percolator, and an Espresso and Cappuccino maker.
After a fun-filled day in Galveston, you will get a good night's rest in this home. The master bedroom has a queen bed, a large wardrobe, and a nice full bathroom with a bathtub and tiled shower. Bedroom 2 also has a queen bed and a dresser. Bedroom 3 has a pair of twin beds. All bedrooms are adorably decorated and have ceiling fans to keep you cool while you sleep.
The second bathroom is located in the hallway and also has a beautifully tiled shower.
This home also has a washer and dryer for your convenience, as well as a fold-up baby crib.
