Beautiful View, Lovely Home

We loved the crab shack. Beautiful home with amazing views of the oceans that was just a few minute walk away. My kids enjoyed the pool. The only recommendation we had was that the Master Bedroom bed was hard as a rock. Otherwise our stay was amazing.

Disgusting and disappointed

I loved check out. This place is roach infested and gross. Location is the only amenity, the pool was so crowded it was inaccessible. The crowd could be heard in the pool until early morning hours

The kids love the pool. Nice view of the gulf from the balcony. House was fully stocked. Bring laundry detergent if you plan to wash more than one load. Parking was directly by the front door. Short walk to the beach makes for the perfect sunrise or stroll at night.

Overall this trip was a waste. We came to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday and graduation, we resorted to being grossed out by the videos upon videos that we took of the roaches coming out after our food, literally, like hungry dogs. Disgusting. In my daughter's bday cake, in the coffee pot and the ONLY response we received from guest services was thanking us for understanding. We do NOT understand.Terrible experienc, our first probably our last with VRBO. Thanks

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location

The location is great and within walking distance to the beach. However, you do need to walk along the road as there is no sidewalk, which makes it less suitable for families with young children. There are also quite a few items around the property, so overall safety feels average.The house itself is well-equipped. The washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, and air conditioning all worked properly during our stay. There is also a small front yard near the pool side, which is very convenient for rinsing off sand after coming back from the beach.That said, the cleanliness was below expectations. We saw cockroaches and small bugs multiple times, especially on the kitchen counters. The cookware and utensils were also not very clean, with noticeable grease and water stains.Overall, I would rate this stay 3 stars, with cleanliness being closer to 1 star.

Crab Shack is a must!!!

The Crab Shack is such a neat place to stay for vacation! Steps away from the pool and beach! My family cannot wait to return!

Great spot for a family vacation.

Plenty of beds for everyone. We loved being close to the beach and for $12 at the Stripes gas station we could park right on the beach. When we didn't feel like the sand there was a beautiful pool just steps away from the back door. Nice local grocery store nearby when we felt like cooking and some great local spots for eating out.
