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.

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 :)

Fabulous hosts!! Wish I could give them more stars! The place is on a quiet street. It was spic and span clean, adorably decorated with nice touches such as water and snacks for both humans and furries. Richard made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He had lots of information/recommendations for local restaurants and activities. It wasn’t an issue for us, but do know that this is a duplex with a shared backyard. All around lovely stay. We’ll be back soon!! Thanks y’all!!

Cute little duplex, comfy beds & furniture, extra little touches, nice outdoor spaces, loved the walking trail with all the green spaces! Met the owner and he’s funny & nice. We also loved being able to walk into town to eat, shop, and watch sunsets over the bay! The ocean was just a 10 min drive where we parked along the road at a beach path. So not crowded!!

Wonderful Place To Stay

This is the second time we have booked with Richard and Ginger. We have a yearly family trip to Port Saint Joe and always book to stay here so we can have our space with our dogs while visiting our family in town. The place is always clean, full of amenities, and is always a great price. Richard is so nice he even stopped by in person to check in to see if we needed anything. We will definitely keep staying here year after year for future family trips.

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.
