Great Vacay!

We were very close to the beach and could overlook the water from the balcony. The location was very quiet and great for family and friends.

Birthday vacay

The crab shack was clean and very cute! The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of bath towels and they also provided lots of beach towels . It was right next to the pool and right across from the beach! There are no beach chairs though so bring your own.

Good Time

The owner sent us a questionnaire about the cleanliness of the place as soon as we checked in which I appreciate. We did not get to fill it out, as we were in a hurry. That was great that they show concern over that. This is Corpus Christi so expect the weather to be very humid and windy and sandy, and some of that comes into the beach housing. It's a fun choice if you want to stay by Bob Hall Pier and there is a convenient grocery less than a mile away. There is an HEB less than a 15 mile drive to the house, too.

No crabs

Great place. Plenty of room for 6 of us (could have fit more) with beds for 2 couples and 2 singles. Nice pool and close to the beach (6 minute walk if you're 77). Legal beach parking if you have the permit ($12/yr last year). VACASA is short handed so don't expect serve on weekends. Esp holiday. Cheap silverware (tinware) and drawers were disorganized. Showers and tubs drain very slow. Need maintenance. Wall hangings need better mounts. Our 2 year old almost got hit by one.

Cute place, nice location, horrible check-in

This was a spacious nice beach townhome with great amenities & location. Many steep stairs to second floor so not recommended for elderly or handicapped. Floors were VERY sandy and gritty and sheets in one room were not clean, but overall nice. Check-in was a nightmare! Provided me with incorrect unit! Then none of the three key codes would access the unit which freaked me out. Door to first room had broken hardware as well but we managed. Otherwise nice place,

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.

Enjoyable stay

Overall very nice place -- location close to beach, pool was nice - very enjoyable! Only issue was found something left from a prior occupant that required law enforcement to come out and visit. Nothing to do with location/facility - it is great, just an oops by someone.

There were not enough towels. There was dog hair on the mattress pad of the trundle and the top sheets had not been changed (food crumbs in the sheets) other than that a very nice place.

Perfect property!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Renting and accessing the Crab Shack was unbelievably simple! The access code made "checking in" really easy, we could literally walk outside and go jump in the pool, and the beach was less than 5 minutes away. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The only thing I would recommend is that you bring plenty of bug spray!

Crab Shack

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Townhouse was clean for the most part. Ceiling fans needed cleaning and trundle bed had not been changed from previous renters. Two easy fixes. Property was a good size, but sleeps 9 not 10 (unless they are counting the couch (not a sofa bed). Nice location right off the pool and 1/4 mile to beach parking/access). Overall a great stay. Would stay here again.

Great place to stay near the beach!

We loved our stay at the crab shack! Pros- The pool is right out the back door and layout is roomy. The beds were very comfortable, linens were nice, kitchen was stocked with everything you will need to cook large family meals, bathrooms were stocked with lots of clean towels and even pool towels. There is a LARGE washer and dryer to clean clothes after a long day at the beach. The back porch made it SO convenient to wash and dry off our beach toys/towels/swimsuits. The decor makes you FEEL like you are at the beach! Cons- We only had one trash bag for our three night stay. The air conditioner blew cool downstairs, but had difficulty cooling the top floor- think the vents need to be adjusted. The ceiling fans were very dusty and I think the cleaning crew has overlooked it. Overall, we loved our stay here. We plan to book again!

Wouldn't recommend

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a good time at this rental but I would not recommend it due to the low standard of cleanliness. It was sub par by any standard but definitely during this time with the pandemic I wouldn't expected more attention towards making sure everything was clean. The floors were dirty, the towels in the bathroom cabinet were clean but still damp, and there was sand in the beds. The location was good but next time I will stay somewhere else.

Ants in Master non-functional ceiling fan in family room

Fan in family room not working and in 100 degree weather it would have helped a lot. Ants in the main bath/bedroom. Smoke alarm going off at 5:00 AM and being told to change the battery with 10 foot ceilings and not my job! Patio left with another parties beach towels, a VERY broken umbrella and a table with curled up boards making for an unpleasant patio. It's a nice condo but needs maintenance. Just my opinion but too many decorations with very dusty fake trees that should not be there. The place mats should go as well, who knows whats on them since they are woven string/rope/cord.

Great Location

We enjoyed the location and the property. The bedrooms were slightly smaller than we expected but still worked well for two families with a small toddler each. The AC struggled to cool off the upstairs. We luckily found a box fan in one of the closets that helped circulate air, but it meant we all had to leave our bedrooms door open which was a little tricky with sleeping toddlers. The location was extremely convenient. The back porch opened up directly to the pool which made afternoons with the kids very easy. The condo had everything you could need! We were very happy with the accommodations. Our only complaints were the AC not easily cooling the top floor and the noise from neighboring condos. Not sure if it was just the weekend we went but there were people at the pool late at night and the neighbors that shared a wall with us had a loud party one night. We did contact the property manager and I assume it was resolved since we the music did eventually stop. If you want easy access to the beach and condo pools, this place was great! Unfortunately for us, the neighbors were not so great.

Great location! Pool is steps outside door!

I was asked by the rental company to leave a review in exchange for a $10 gift card. Below you will find my own opinions and review. The location is great! We stayed over the 4th of July holiday. The home was clean and kitchen was well stocked. Here are the negatives. There was no communication on how the home is stocked. For example, do they have extra towels? Baby equipment? Extra bed linens? The answer is no. They did have the extra bed space but there were no extra blankets for us to use the beds. They were skimpy on the cleaning supplies. Lots of laundry needs to be done at a beach stay and there were not very many pods, same for the dishwasher. Also, someone left smelly chicken in the fridge. Other than that, we really did have a nice stay. There were tvs in every room, the home was very clean and its really nice to have a pool and the beach access.
