The Space:
Location, location, location! Crab Shack, best shack on the island.

You can relax in paradise enjoying the beautiful views from the large, wrap-around porch while reading a book or sipping on a tasty cocktail. This dog-friendly home features direct access to the beach by a lovely sand trail. The custom artwork throughout the home was hand-painted by our talented local artists and bring a lot of personality to this beach house! You can also enjoy lounging on the beach, just steps out your back door. There is a private gas grill you can use to treat your family to a tasty cookout while the sun sets.
