This property has special local compliance requirements, which include a signed rental agreement and ID verification. A damage waiver of $59 is required for stays up to 9 nights, with an additional $3 per day for stays longer than 9 nights. If the damage waiver is not purchased, a refundable security hold of $1,500 is required instead to protect against any damages.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so happy you had a great stay and felt well taken care of. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have you back for another beach getaway soon!
The house was perfect for our family! We enjoyed the peace and quiet and had a great time! Communication was wonderful and the owners were always quick to reply. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at the Coastal Crab! The house was just as advertised. The communication with the owners was top notch! The house was very clean and comfortable, the beds were great! The house was conveniently located a couple of miles from the beach. We would recommend this home to anyone.
Overall the home was very clean , neat, and orderly. You feel welcomed just as soon as you walk in. The house itself is perfect for a small group like we had. I will definitely consider staying again when we have plans on visiting that area again.
For a few grouo of Friends, a small Family, or a husband&wife getaway I would highly recommend staying here.
Sincerely,
Allen M.
This newly (and beautifully) renovated house was perfect for our fishing trip. The beds have amazing new memory foam mattresses. The furniture is very comfortable. The air conditioning is cold and can me modified for each room. The kitchen is well stocked with all brand new gear and everything you need. Communication with the homeowners is prompt and very friendly. You'll enjoy your trip here.

Joel - Thanks so much! We hope to have you back and your friends soon!
We stayed for a small weekend getaway for my birthday. Property was perfect size for us, as it was just my husband and son. It had everything we needed aside from food. They did however provide small snacks which was a plus. Check in process was fairly simple as the host utilizes an online check in process through another website. That was easy to manage and communicate through as well. When we arrived the house was clean and the host left a small welcome bag with some much needed insect repellent wipes. I loved the personal touch! The boys enjoyed the street fighter game! The grill and outside area is very nice and we were able to enjoy dinner and drinks out on the patio in the evening. Home is close to fishing areas. Just be mindful when packing supplies as there are not many stores around the immediate area. There was an HEB and Walmart in Bay city which was about 20-30 mins away. Would highly recommend this property for a small family/couples/small group.
