I loved all the attention to detail over the Christmas holiday. The home was completely decorated for Christmas. Also it is a dog lover’s delight! Big back yard, dog bowls, and a treat jar for our fur baby’s snacks. Owner checked in on us and made sure our stay was fantastic!
Ziti our dog loved the big back yard.
The warmth of the holiday!!
Perfect way for us to celebrate Christmas away from home.

This was a wonderful place to stay while in St. Joe. The hosts could not have been better. The duplex had everything that we wanted. Having a huge fenced yard with a spot light was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was outfitted with all conveniences. We absolutely loved our stay at the Crab Shack. If we can visit Florida next year, we'll stay again.

The host, Richard, was so nic e and assured me if there was anything I needed to let me know. The kitchen had small bags of assorted chips, bottles of water, a cabinet that had lots of spices, Folgers coffee, etc. The neighborhood was very quiet, and I felt safe since I was traveling alone. Great place. Intend to stay again.

We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for my daughter and I. We loved walking down and playing around in the bay at the park. Everything was clean and comfy. Richard gave us some great suggestions for restaurants and was very attentive to answering emails promptly.

Richard & Ginger were great hosts! They provided lots of restaurant and activity recommendations. Richard called to check up on us and offered special accomodations based on our unusual situation. The house was perfect for the (4) adults and dogs I traveled with. The front and back porch were great for morning coffee and happy hour cocktails. The location was perfect, we could walk to lots of restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Short vacation

We found that this adorable place was exactly as described and we loved the covered back porch in the mornings to enjoy our morning coffee. The location was great for adventures in town, the beach, and the surrounding area. We were impressed with all the communications with our hosts which were very timely and informative.

Do yourself a favor and stay at the Crab Shack! We loved it the moment we opened the door. It's the perfect getaway and located close to the beach, boating, restaurants and shopping. I've never stayed in a place with a kitchen as well furnished. The hosts are also a treasure. Richard was incredibly helpful and communicative. It was a wonderful experience all the way around. We will certainly be back again.

Crab shack was the perfect, quiet getaway for scalloping on Labor Day weekend. House was clean with cute decor and had a safe, extensive walking path behind the house. The hosts even stopped by to check and make sure we had everything we needed! Delicious recommendations for dinner within walking distance and all the kitchen attire was readily available for nights we cooked in. Highly recommend this place! Thank you! We will be back :)

Just right

I was visiting friends in Port St Joe. The Crab Shack was just a few blocks from their place, easily within walking distance. I used the walking trail that runs behind the house daily. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. The house was clean and had everything I needed. I plan to stay again the next time I’m in the area.

Perfect Gem

The Crab Shack is a perfect little gem. The unit (1 of 2 -2 bedroom Duplex) decorated in a subtle beach theme style. The unit was very warm and welcoming with everything you could think of for humans and fur babies and even supplied snacks. Clean, quiet neighborhood off the main drag tho located within a short walk to the downtown area fir eats, shops and more Nice large fenced yard, super comfy beds and everything available just like at home. Absolutely faultless. Richard & Ginger gave perfect recommendations for places to eat, to go, to shop, to see and more. They go out of their way to ensure your stay is close to perfect as it can be. Definitely reccomend and plan to return to.
