Lobster shack is awesome

Great property and great communication with owner. Has everything we needed and the place is super clean. Loved having a beach wagon with chairs and all the items you could need at the beach. The tiki area downstairs is great for catching up and enjoying a cold drink.

Perfect getaway- would happily come back

Our family of four stayed for a handful of days for the perfect getaway. The family room had great natural light and upstairs deck was a great spot for early morning coffee or dinner around the table. As big cooks, we tend to pack what we need, but were surprised by the amount of gadgets the kitchen had. The house was close enough to the beach to walk, but I would recommend a golf cart to be able to come and go freely.

Would stay again!

This place was perfect for our vacation, the kids loved it! Very close to everything and neighborhood was nice. The house was very accommodating to us and our pets with things like soap built in the shower, that was great by the way, and homemade treats left for our pups! Overall I would absolutely recommend

Great location, great amenities

This was the 2nd year we stayed here. Very dog friendly. Close enough to the beach to walk but far enough away that you don't hear the parties. Close to the grocery store and dining options. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect house for a family. Pet friendly with plenty of fenced area for pets to roam. Excellent location for local food, shopping. Easy 5 min walk or golf cart ride to the beach with very little road traffic in the neighborhood. 10 out of 10 for sure will book again.

Amazing Pet-Friendly Stay!!!

The Lobster Shack was the perfect vacation home to stay in for our family! It was clean, beautiful, and had everything we could need. We love supporting small businesses with the amenities like hand soap and yummy dog treats! The fenced yard allowed us to relax while our dogs ran around and played safely. Proximity to the beach was excellent. We can't wait to stay again!!!

My family and I have stayed at many houses on Crystal Beach this one was by far the cleanest and most well maintained. Nice quite neighborhood just minutes from the beach, kitchen and all rooms stocked with everything one would need and the host was excellent. You just couldn't ask for a better stay anywhere.

What an amazing getaway spot

We arrived at night and I loved the sensor flood light's. Easy check in process and the place was very clean and nicely taken care of. Loved the outdoor area & so did the dogs. They had pretty much everything we needed. I loved that I could let our dogs run around without worry of them getting out. Loved the radio, corn hole and table setup downstairs. We had an amazing time and I would definitely rent this place again.

Wonderful house and location!

Perfect for our annual family vacation!! Very clean, loved the personal amenities: dog welcoming goodies, dual coffee maker, beach supplies. A big fenced in yard for the dog. Close enough to the beach to easily get there but not so close that you would hear any beach parties. Close to shopping. And the owner was very responsive to anything we may have needed. Will definitely try to stay here again!

Wonderful Experience at the Lobster Shack

Spent the weekend for a fishing trip at the Lobster Shack. The house is wonderful, very clean, and on a nice cul-de-sac with little through traffic. Dana the host checked in with me frequently to see if we needed anything. And provided a great information booklet about the area for anyone not familiar with crystal beach. We had a blast downstairs playing cornhole and the giant Bluetooth speaker/phone charger was a big hit! I will recommend this place to my friends and family going forward!
