The Crab Shack was amazing. We had 8 people the 1st leg of the trip and 7 the remaining of the week. The house is so spacious. We never felt on top of each other. The house was so clean and had everything you could possibly need. The boat was the best addition. We went to the Anclote island twice and the sand bar twice. We should've done the sand bar every day. It was amazing. Fishing on one side, felt like the Caribbean on the other. We stuck the shibumi up and stayed out all day. Don't waste your time going to a local beach. Just hit up the sand bar. The pool was so nice as well. There's a Publix down the road. Also, ate at The rusty belly. So good! We saw sea turtles and dolphins all around the dock. Such a peaceful area. (Also mattresses and pillows were comfy and there was a box fan in each room for anyone that needs air blowing directly on them like I do ) check in was so simple and communication was always super quick with the owners. We loved meeting Kim and Brenda and can't wait to come back to their property again

We’ve stayed here several times and always have a great experience! The house is extremely clean, well kept, and has everything we need. We love having both the pool and boat available, and the location is very convenient with grocery stores nearby. We always look forward to coming back!

We loved this house! It was very clean and had everything we needed—including toys for the kids, which was a great bonus. The pontoon boat was amazing, and we had so much fun going out to the sandbar. One day we even saw dolphins and a manatee, which made the trip extra special.Kim and Brenda were wonderful hosts and made everything easy. This was our second time staying here, and we would definitely come back again!
