Great location. Loved that it was close to the ocean and Port St Joe was a charming town. Owner is friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back hopefully soon.
The property is perfect for pets and family. Nice outdoor living space. Kitchen is well stocked, all rooms were comfortable. The owners are pleasant and very communicative. Highly recommend this property very close to beautiful downtown Port St. Joe. Judy Wright
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.
Awesome little get away! Great, roomy, clean accommodations for family of four with an extra in tow (all teenagers). Richard & Ginger were very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed during our short stay!
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.
property is as listed. Well stocked, clean and the hosts were fantastic communicators. We would recommend this property top anyone needing to stay in port st. joe.
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.
Cute duplex, everything was clean and seemed new. Tastefulky decorated and stocked with absolutely anything and everything you could ever want! Richard and Ginger were perfect hosts, speedy communication, and generous with information. Vest time ever!

We had a wonderful experience at the crab shack home. The owners were great, communication was top notch. He suggested a lot of restaurants and he was spot on. The place was roomy and very cute the way it was decorated. Highly recommend!
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 :)
The hosts were amazing quick to respond and helpful with lots of information. I am going to build a house in Port Saint Joe and they offered for me to call them anytime for help in finding good people for the building process. They gave great tips for lots of pet friendly restaurants. The properly has a large fenced yard and they provided dog dishes and some toys which our dog Ziggy loved.i an definitely going to stay here again!
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.
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.
